Merged Trade/Delistings threads - Part 2

[Merv]

I see no one knows how this all works? If we do have to cut the list down, then I sadly think Pev has to go. If we don't, I think Pev has done enough for another contract...

You can cut your list by as many as you like.

It used to be compulsory that you had to cut at least 4 players but now you don't have to if you don't want to participate.

 

[dirtywhitepacker]

Ok, cheers for that ^

 

[warney7]

Elevate Atkinson and give him a one year deal.

Retire:
Mal
Pev
JJ
Rama

De-list:
Johns
Lee
Dick (rookie)
Chartres (rookie)

Traid Bait
Lovett

Looks spot on to me!

Might see Rama for another year though. You don't want to have too many kids and go backwards next year.

 

[Hislop200]

What are peoples thoughts on trading for example Lovett to WC for say Staker and their 2nd rounder.
He is tall and quick and could help us out in defence, still young 23 24, could turn out to be a bargain or at least depth.

Hell, i'd take West Coasts 2nd rounder for Lovett. will be about pick 18, so that should be a handy one and would give us 3-4 decent picks before Gold Coast raid the draft.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I don't want to give him up but if we could get Lovett for Hawthorn's pick 14 or WC's PP (pick 18) I'd give him up!

 

[Yoda_]

IMO, that only Hawthorn would be interested in a deal with Lovett, if anyone, they need that explosive outside midfielder cum forward, that Lovett is, but with the explosion of Rioli (And Stoke to a lesser extent) onto the scene, they are really building towards something, so they may not want Lovett,

Are you trying to get into the nominations for "The Essendon board tool of the year" ?

18 year old ruckman and after half a season you are going to delist him

 

[7zark7]

Good job you weren't in charge when Lonergan was heading into his third season.

FFS these blokes have not even had a season to prove themselves!!!!!

 

[longytap]

I think we need to do everything in our power to lure another quility ruckman to the club. look at most of the great sides over the years and they all have 2 quality ruckman. laycock won't make it and bellchambers is a while off yet. Is there any coming out of contract???
Hate to think what would happen if hille went down. its the only area we have no depth.

Have you seen Bellchambers play for Bendigo this year?

Aswell as John Williams, came to the club with an injury and is only really starting to get an extended run in the magoos, so leavethe kids alone.

Williams aswell, came to the club with an injury and they wanna get rid of him, Ant, he wants tool of the year i think,

 

[Thrust]

Kerr + Cousins is top 4 methinks

So if our first rounder is unable to pick up Hurley, Hartlett or Ziebell I wouldn't be against a trade of Lovett + 1st rounder for Kerr if that would work and Cousins as 2nd/3rd rounder or PSD

don't know if they'd go for that or if it's that beneficial to Essendon but there you go.

 

[Hencho]

In my opinion the following will 100% happen.
Retire:
Mal
Pev
JJ

De-list:
Johns (Possibly a trade with Adelaide since they are desperate for a forward and I think Johns is from SA, although I highly doubt they'll cough up any sort've pick for an unproven older player with an injury list like his.)

Possibilities:
De-List:
Dick (rookie)
Chartres (rookie)

Possible Trades
Lovett (I'd rather see picks for him than another player. Unless it involves Daniel Kerr)


I seriously can't see anyone else being traded away. Not from the way Knights talks about them and I reckon he is 100% on the ball. Some players need more time than others. Winder and Dyson get mentioned a bit but if they can both get close to 100% fit they will show how good they can be. Especially Winder, I rate him quite highly.

With other players playing well it enables guys like them to play better as well.

 

[daffo]

I think Charters will be given one more year. Knights is a fan of him. I also think there will be one more player de-listed. We will make room for 5 new players in the draft + go for one player via a trade. Eg : Kerr or Brismall.

 

[Rack Watts]

I think we should try and get hold of Sylvia I think he is a great player but gets stuck in two minds and doesn't have faith in his skill. I believe that Knights could bring that skill out in him.

Re: Merged Draft threads - Part 2

You are right
What do you guys reckon of Courtney Johns for Colin Sylvia?

Nobody would take Johns in a trade and even if we delist him i doubt anyone would pick him up

 

[Rack Watts]

Re: Merged Draft threads - Part 2

Does Courtney Johns actually have any ability that stands out compared to an average AFL player? lol

 

[Empire_Persian]

Orange Boots

There is some speculation here that Reimers is thinking about coming home. There is only 2 clubs he can go to (Dockers or Eagles), though supposedly he was an Eagles fan when younger.

What do you Bomber fans think about a straight swap (remembering that both of us want to keep our draft picks).

McKinley for Reimers

For those who dont know who McKinley is, this is basically his first season of AFL and he has become our leading goal-kicker. Has a mature head but needs to work on his defensive game.

PS. he was a Bomber fan whilst growing up


Your opinions ?

Re: Orange Boots

LOL if you think Reimers will go
