List Mgmt. Delisting and drafting is almost as fun as trading: The trade and draft megathread

[kerrazy]

I have a feeling Geelong will accept 20, 22 and next years 2nd at the death.

You make it sound like that's a good thing.

Overs. This is not a desperation make or break move. We are not one piece away from contending games desperately trying to get that piece.

Once we got Gaff back, Tim Kelly became a luxury. Walk to the draft Vozzdog.

 

[Big Cox 88]

I think we are going to regret picking up Kelly especially with some of the "overs" trades being requested.

Some of the Geelong posters though putting the Kelly situation back onto the Eagles about compassion are absolute oxygen thieves.

 

[sey666]

So the only player who wasn’t allowed to go home due to personal reasons this year is a an indigenous player who has 3 kids all aged less than 3 years and has no family support. Great look AFL.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

I can't wait to next year when we go back to back and Geelong finish outside the 8 and they'll have to accept pick #40 for him

Freo will be stronger next year (9th/10th) so they'll only have picks #9 and #27 and doubt they would trade #9

I’d rather trade for the #1 pick in the preseason draft and tell Kelly to nominate for that draft.

Be so good if they bring trading preseason draft picks in. That’s the ultimate troll

 

[ziad]

ffs vozzo just walk away

good man you need to know when to walk.

this is now a joke - we have tried to help. Now we need to think of the club and families that make up the club

 

[Bacchus]

Sick of hearing these trade radio commentators getting stuck into Kelly because he only wants to go to one club. It is possible to need to get home and choose WCE. These two positions are not contradictory. Wilson didn't want to come to WC and said so. That's his perogative. Kelly obviously has his reasons for not wanting to go to Fremantle. i don't know what they are. How is it it okay for Shiel to choose Essendon and Scully to choose Hawthorn? Why doesn't Shiel go to St Kilda or Carlton? Why aren't they carrying on about this? Bullshit!

 

[Seadog]

Freo finally have two marking targets but Fyfe will still struggle hitting them up.

Lobb averaged 3.16 marks per game last year, ranked 19th at GWS. Taberner averaged 5.33 per game as a comparison.

 

[Coasters7]

They wouldn't have been shafted at all, picks 20 + 22 and 2019 2nd rounder would be more than fair.

Yeah I agree. Was more talking about a single pick. Would’ve been nice to top the year off with that but it’s gone well past that stage..

 

[The Stid]

Kane Cornes: There were probably X amount of Melbourne clubs who would have wanted Scully, but Scully wanted Hawthorn so too bad.

Yet there’s still outrage over Kelly’s request.

 

[bl4ke]

We are going to pay way overs for someone who can't kick

 

[Bacchus]

They wouldn't have been shafted at all, picks 20 + 22 and 2019 2nd rounder would be more than fair.

Would be massive overpayment. I hope they don't cave into this.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Would be massive overpayment. I hope they don't cave into this.

It goes against any trade we've ever done in our history. It's ridiculous.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Geelong bogan calls up, practically in tears, saying Kelly is spitting in Geelongs face after that fabulous club gave him an AFL opportunity when nobody else would.

Only thing more astounding than Geelong supporters lack of sympathy is their lack of football knowledge.

Cut him a break, he's probably heavily on the gear right now.

 

[ziad]

Would be massive overpayment. I hope they don't cave into this.

its not a cave in if we offer. Should we offer is the question?

In simmo we trust.

 

[Swarhily]

The fact that star players are being traded back home for peanuts and we can't get Kelly back home without being bent over is telling. We should take the picks to the draft and make a play for him next year.

 

[Astro7]

Still going down to the wire....3 hrs left?
If no show, hope that's an exploding bag of dicks?
or a bag of exploding dicks..!

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

It goes against any trade we've ever done in our history. It's ridiculous.

Is it more than pick 12 and pick 28 for a tagger?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Travis King the GOAT

The thing is, I actually agree that players should be able to nominate going to geographic locations for family reasons but not specify that they only want to play for a certain club.... but that's not how things are done here and now, and it's ridiculous for people to act like Kelly is doing anything different than every other player who's asked to be dealt this trade period. Steven May is about the only player I can recall who said he was happy to go anywhere in Vic, everyone else said which club they wanted to play for.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Is it more than pick 12 and pick 28 for a tagger?

Stenglein?

 

[Dusky]

In a hilarious world he is forced to stay at Geelong for one more season and intentionally spuds it up all year, except for when we play them and he acts as our 23rd man and refuses to leave the field as hes enjoying offloading to our boys too much.

 

[wce_all_da_way]

Holy shit some of the irrational arguments being put up on other boards right now... Tribal. If we don't get him we don't get him but their thought process and their arguments have changed constantly. Between that and the death threats thrown around, they've done a great job of promoting their club and their town.

 

[Jay1986]

Yep, walk away now, not paying overs........Will be interesting to watch backlash against Geelong by all and sundry.........only player not to get his wish of move to his club of choice.......now not only Geelong to eat a big bag, but Gill and AFL to join in

Can't see Beams getting to Collingwood either.

It really brings home that it truly is us against them.
