List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

[danielnajdek]

It's a bit like that atm. Might have to wait until tomorrow for news.

 

[soreplums]

We must have been watching different games.

Terrible disposal, fumbly & undersized.

He’s Trent Bianco with a bit of pace.

If Trent Bianca has pace he would still be on our list

 

[MoreMoore]

Also you have a higher chance of success taking two first rounders to the draft than you do trading for a single player

Sharenberg and Freeman say hi

 

[Babylove]

Okay so are we seriously arguing about either recruiting a player that only Damien Barrett has us as being a serious contender for at this stage or going to the draft with draft picks we don’t currently have?

Yeah, had good skills, that was never the issue.

Happy Sunday!

 

[WakeUpPies]

Look at our young talent compared to everyone else’s. For a team that missed the finals

Yes all the early draft picks we’ve had didn’t really help did they? Other than being blessed with 1 N. Daicos.

 

[Seedsfan]

A 50/50 for what though. Outside of the first couple of picks, they're not 50/50 to become as good as Treloar or Houston. To me Treloar was a definite gain on what you'd expect from those two picks. Houston trickier as he's better but older, so you're not getting that many games

In what has been dubbed as the strongest draft for years you should not go at less than a 50% strike rate for finding an A grade player.

Yes next year is more complex as the talent pool is supposed to be weaker and the top end is dominated by academy picks plus we have McGuane who at the start of this year was projected as a first round pick and has likely climbed in the rankings.

Yet the last time we traded out a pick as we only needed points it ended up being pick 2 and we could have extracted better value from that if we held it

[ElliottsMaggies]

Have I missed something?

We don't have any high picks, do we?

Sooooo, established & experienced players it is.

for the sake of your sanity, it's a good thing you missed it

I think clubs have just finally cottoned on that going to the draft is almost pointless when it’s the most shambolic system in world sport

The top end is worth it. But clubs have realised that in a standard draft (might be different this year) the margins get small pretty quickly -there isn't a particularly big difference in hit rate between pick 15 and picks 40.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

for the sake of your sanity, it's a good thing you missed it

It's been such a futile argument by some banging on about picks

As if Fly would be saying 'thanks, but no thanks' if we had 2 picks in the top 10.. but we don't.

 

[Drought Break]

And we need it. The Lions are about to add virtually the no1/top 3 pick in the midfield.

We need to bring in some seriously good players this off-season.

and Coleman and Doedee from yesterday's side.

 

[Seedsfan]

Trading out 6 first round picks in 10 years probably didn’t help much. Coupled with the fact Stevo was a bust, Murphy had his concussion issues and we were unable to keep Henry and Ginivan. That said Henry and Stevo were the only high picks there

 

[Jen2310]

Its not just high picks you can find good players

Its that you've got to pick well

 

[Seedsfan]

And we will never have a pick in the top 10 if we keep burning them for role players like Schultz

 

[Jen2310]

When drafts are so stacked, you are always gonna have good players fall outside top 10-15, and you find a bolter. That is what we can hope so if we don't manage to trade up. This year more than most. If we don't manage to trade up and have late 20's or 30's picks, we can just draft for needs with talls; as that's where most of the talls are meant to fall because of all the stacked mids.

Ome of your fav players ElliottsMaggies Darcy Jones was pick 21. So just shows how you can find good players outside the first round

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Well, we could just lose most games every year for a few years & pick up lots of high picks...if that's what you'd prefer.

Personally, I'd rather keep going for that premiership.

 

[TradeDraft]

Can trade players instead of Picks

 

[Seedsfan]

Well, we could just lose most games every year for a few years & pick up lots of high picks...if that's what you'd prefer.

Or we could not make counterproductive trades like last year

 

[TradeDraft]

Same people bitching about picking up Houston will be celebrating like mad when we add number 17 to the cabinet next year. We are in our window, let's flipping go.

That why we be Targeting Mature Age Players for next season or 2

Hasn’t the Carlton model shown you everything you need to know about success. Stockpile those high end draft picks, **** winning flags. That’s for suckers.

Yes but we're not holding first round picks in this draft. And we're not likely to turn a future first, Noble and Richards into two first round picks in a really strong draft, unless they're pretty late first round picks. If we could turn them into Houston though, bring it on.
