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

[tmpies01]

Out of curiosity does anyone remember when we first started getting linked to Houston ?

There was a bit of talk after the grand final but it was mainly Blues/North at the time. The news about our plans to land Dan came out the night of Copeland Trophy and then it got bigger from there.

 

[celestial]

I think we were originally. And then the Media/Carlton/North orgy excluded us for a while

For a while it was Melbourne then carlton in the box seat. We seem to have come from no where.
Surely Dan coming to Melbourne would be reported by more journalists, as that indicates something major has happened or about to happen.

I don’t think we were a target to begin with IIRC, it did start with the Dees (then they ruined their chance with the Trac/Clarry saga) Blues and North were next and then we became a favourite when Richards requested to go to Port as it could link with the JFN trade

Houston will be announced tomorrow

About the same time Dan thought "If the Pies are interested those other 2 shit stain club can GAGF"

Pretty sure he met with 4 Vic clubs (Carlton, Dogs, St Kilda and us) on PF weekend while he was here for the Brownlow, so that was the first link. Norf came in to the picture a bit later.

Nobody took our interest seriously though until it came out that we were intent on getting 13 as part of the Noble deal. The assumption was he’d go to Carlton for pick 12+ something else, but then they refused to deal.

Between trade period and the bye after the H&A season, FMD there are some torturously slow days in footy come Sep/Oct

 

[magpies42]

Did we end up taking Thomas?

Don’t think so

Pexxy, I want you to be given Mod status for the Trade Thread

 

[gerryg400]

Don’t think so

IIRC, he ended up at Carton.

Me too. Give him everything, he still scares me

I think it was public knowledge that we had a fair few discussions with Dan in the past couple of weeks. Even this morning the word is still that he wants to get to the Pies. Leppa absolutely will make it happen.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

IIRC, he ended up at Carton.

Yeah but he carries on about Collingwood as if he’s a premiership player

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

Sure isn't, predicted Darcy Parish was coming and he did not. The 'inside word' of a man off the street with posts so cryptic they could mean anything.

When did he say that Parish was coming?

 

[TradeDraft]

Houston will be announced tomorrow

Based On?

 

[manicpie]

Based On?

The best source of anyone on here

 

[Pistol Night]

Based On?

 

[Fat Jesus]

Houston will be announced tomorrow

I'm thinking the same.

 

[sr36]

Wrap it up:

Coll give Noble F1 36
Coll get 13,23 F3

Port give F1
Port get Lukosius 29

Coll give 13,23, Richards
Coll get 29

Pretty much I reckon

 

[sr36]

would be happy with that, so we have 2 fairly good picks to take to the draft.

Only 1. We'll need to put 36 in

 

[soreplums]

When did he say that Parish was coming?

he shares good info without giving away too much. Highlighted where we sat with Parish, Merrett and Lynch early and even highlighted is trading Treloar and Stevo all well before anything came out.

He is worth listening with interest.

 

[Carlthetruth]

When did he say that Parish was coming?

Don't worry, he did. The scout coincidentally provides exactly the same information that Cal Twomey's twitter feed does. He's extremely light on for 'inside information' for a man on the inside.
