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

[unplugged]

List bosses will start arriving at Marvel from 11am.

Reckon if Hutchy had his way, these blokes would march in with outfits on under spotlights.

I'm genuinely intrigued to see how Leppa handles the media. Historically we haven't cared much for addressing the media at these days but Wright was a breath of fresh air for those of us craving content and insight.

 

[manicpie]

Yeah, like we did in 1991 and 2011 when we self destructed by expecting the club to make sound decisions.

I Did say this is 2024. Do you have another club in mind to come and take over our club and fix it

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

If Noble and Richards help us get Houston, it's for the greater good.

 

[Seedsfan]

If Rioli is worth pick 6 (and 13?), then where does that place Huston's value?

Where does it place Noble’s value?

Maybe a (good) piece of the Puzzle.

I would’ve liked to have kept Richards but maybe a sign of things moving behind the scenes.

Collateral damage

My favourite part about trade period is when people reply to a post from ten pages ago with a joke that fifteen other people have already made since

Houston, we have a problem.

Can't wait for the panic stations about a bloke who has played 9 games, some as sub, whom most on here had us delisting before the 2024 season began.

BigFooty struggling or what?

 

[76woodenspooners]

You’re right, we’re ****ed and shouldn’t try anything!

(1) I want to understand it.

If somebody said “Hey ‘76, there’s a secret AFL Commission plan where they’re changing the game to 12 a side, and will cut list sizes down to 30” …

… it would then all make sense and I’d be all good.

(2) I like to manage expectations.

2022 was the most enjoyable AFL season - by far. We had finished 17th the previous season. New coach. Expectations were zero.

And then we go and win the 2023 Premiership and we now start expecting a dynasty from a Dad’a army of 30+ players?

Look at how Carlton got to where they are today - expecting they can win a Premiership every season by taking short cuts. Essendon are even more tragic - expecting they can make finals every season by taking short cuts.

Cooneys most recent mega trade… We get 29 and 56 for noble…

I’m just hoping it doesn’t turn into a Ginni level sook fest like this year.

The man is getting his bread and good for him

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Geez it'd be a shame if Blues missed out at the last moment because of us...

Hee hee hee.

Let's see how it pans out but yeah how good does this sound for 2025 and beyond! A shame Joe couldn't stick around, but good on him for securing his career.

 

[brockbruiser]

I'm still surprised by Richards given where we got him from and gave him an opportunity. They must have offered some good coin.

Oh well, hopefully he forms part of the Houston trade

F*** me sideways he’s a campaigner

After he was made fun of for that horrendous Brisbane/Carlton trade from the other day I’m surprised they kept going

 

[MagpieJoel]

Yep.

 

[No SPIN]

We need to wake up to ourselves here. A Dan Houston isn't going to deliver us a premiership. Drafting high delivers you a premiership. Look at Brisbane. The difference between last year and this year was Ashcroft and Lohman. Those sorts of players deliver you premierships. While Dan Houston would be handy, the price we pay is far too high for someone who isn't a match winning mid. Perryman will be handy. He will play as a defensive mid mainly off the half back line. That will solve the Murphy issue. Shultz really is just a replacement for Elliot. We should never have given away a first round draft pick for him. We have brazenly given away too many high draft picks and those we used mostly have been poor choices. That's why we're precariously positioned over the edge of a cliff and about to fall over, like Richmond have, unless we find replacements in the midfield for Pendlebury, Sidebottom and Mitchell.

Twenty years of drafting high hasn’t delivered Premierships to Carlton - only wooden spoons.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

So with Joe officially requesting a trade, the first piece of the Houston puzzle is put in place

It's genuinely sad to lose Richards (I personally prefer him over Schultz), but if it means getting Houston then it's ultimately for the best

To be fair, with the BigFooty servers acting up this reply may not get to you until Friday.

 

[gouki88]

The reality is, without Nick Daicos we wouldn’t have won last year’s premiership. That’s drafting high. You can fluke it once in a while, like we did with Dane Swan, but otherwise it’s those draft picks between one and 10 that deliver you a premiership.

You mean our father-son selection, which had no relation to our draft hand whatsoever?

Yes, lagging a bit today

 

[Eric Shin]

Some people are acting like Perryman and Houston are 35. Seriously.

Can he trade himself a few brain cells? Deadset ****ing idiot. He did propose with a Burger ring says it all really.
