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

[TakingThePies]

They need to get him off the books i reckon to take on Lukosius contract and Atkins too

No they don't. They could have fitted Perryman in as well.

 

[SchuPie]

I would like us to target matt whitlock. If we can upgrade 36 to a pick in the mid 20's , it should give us a chance to get him.

Is he the defender one?
I’d like to draft him as well

 

[Gabbo64]

So what's the story with Dev Robertson. Has he asked for a trade and are we a realistic chance of getting him. I quite like his strong attack on the ball, his hand skills and seems to read the play well.

 

[manicpie]

I did say this deal was already done a couple of days ago. It was a simple mathematical equation, even for a drop out like me

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I swear if we walk away from this trade period with Perryman, Houston, Hayes, Tomlinson and picks that actually take advantage of Hine’s only strength it would be incredible

Dev Robertson would be a nice bonus but I don’t see how that gets done

 

[Jen2310]

Yeah can play defender, forward

 

[3rdMan]

Don't forget we still have Oleg that can replace noble too!

The great thing is that Oleg is no longer in the running for a best 22 spot. He was a definite chance without bringing in Houston and Perryman.

Correct. No one has perfect vision of the future. We have to make judgements with the best info we have. Using that info, I believe we've made a good deal.

"No real clue" is a bit strong on parts of that. The club would have a decent idea on how Tom's going to go barring injury etc. Similar doubts would hang over any potential acquisition.

agree with all that.

club has in fact made an educated guess / prediction on all of those variables, effectively present valuing (PV) what it believes it is paying vs receiving (over a time horizon). they did the same last year. in fact, all clubs do.

we can argue the merits of that value but i'd be more interested in the method ie. how they go about calculating ..structured / formulaic vs vibe or some point in between. and do they ever back-test any of the method?

 

[celestial]

Think most of us wont be fully relieved until we hear the paperwork has been lodged and approved. Until then there is always the potential for something to mess everything up.

 

[HFF]

No they don't. They could have fitted Perryman in as well.

So they had $3m of cap space lying around effectively you reckon?
I don’t believe that to be the case

 

[manicpie]

So what's the story with Dev Robertson. Has he asked for a trade and are we a realistic chance of getting him. I quite like his strong attack on the ball, his hand skills and seems to read the play well.

Basically, he wants to come to us and Brisbane are keen on Krueger, lock it in, what else are we going to do with a couple of picks in the 40s

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Port fans aren't happy.

That probably tells you everything you need to know.

A Hinkley extension to really top it off.

 

[celestial]

Yep flexibility to play fwd and intercept. Has the potential to be the next darcy moore.

 

[Bramax]

Dev Robertson would be a nice bonus but I don’t see how that gets done

If he wants out (again) and wants to come to the Pies, I think the Lions will let him go on the cheap. They have depth. He can’t get a run there.

 

[Smackdos]

Couldn't find my old user details from a decade ago so had to make a new one! Been lurking for most of this thread riding the highs and lows, mostly lows feeling most confident it will happen very soon! C'mon boys get it done Houston and Daicos in the same team is what dreams are made of!

 

[Jen2310]

This is a bit interesting. They aren't totally sure richards is incuded, though you'd think so

So it's a lay down misere if we want that trade??

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

1st round pick plus one best-22 player plus a 24-yo who is absolutely tracking to be a best-22 player, for Dan Houston and nothing else? Feels a tad lopsided to me

You don’t win premierships in trade week. We can win a premiership with a dual AA like Houston improving out list. We might get a sweetener but even if we don’t , meh.

 

[Horaceg]

The great thing is that Oleg is no longer in the running for a best 22 spot. He was a definite chance without bringing in Houston and Perryman.

Oleg will be pushing it, I can still see him playing a role next year

 

[Jelly Bean]

Essentially, we're adding a dual AA half back, to allow an AA and B&F in a Premiership year Wingman to return to where he plays his best footy.

Meanwhile our other dual Premiership player Wingman is now our pretty successful tagger!!

Oh I'm so excited for next year!!!

J Daics played much better football at HB than Wing this year.

 

[LuckyLee]

So essentially our trade period will boil down to:

OUT: Noble, Richards, F1
IN: Perryman, Houston

That’s a win. Clearly an upgrade, at least in the near term.

Here’s hoping McGuane Jnr develops into a genuine top-10 prospect for next year’s draft and we can land a great free agent then too coz we’re going to lose a few to retirement in a year’s time.

Sam Edmund hasnt tweeted for 6 hours

He's waiting for the Blosers to come out of the shadows....

 

[PiesHateU2]

Tracking??? All I know is that we have lost them for the best half back with one of the deadliest boots in the game.

Noble and Richards will never be AA calibre.

I’d rather a top 3 calibre player in the team than 2 players fighting out to be in the bottom 6 players in a best 22.

Agree Houston is a gun. But I think you are underestimating the importance of JFN to our game style. And Richards was developing very nicely. Players don't need to be AA calibre to be super important to a team

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

J Daics played much better football at HB than Wing this year.

I prefer Jaicos to go back to his AA position on the wing next season. We can do that now with the AA HB in HOUSTON there !!!!....️️️️
