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

[Jen2310]

Not getting the excitement around Tomlinson.

Seen him up close a few times, and looked pretty ordinary.

And he's 32 next year, so I wouldn't be expecting much from him.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Our last two seasons of injuries woes (yes even 2023 that most people forget about), does not instil much confidence in our medicos really

To be fair most of our injuries have been freak accident type stuff

Very few have been continual niggles and soft tissue injuries

The only one truly mismanaged was De Goey

Port supporters taking it well

Atkins will be playing sanfl and that's it but it's scary to think he and soldo are the only ones on our list who have played in a winning prelim final and played in a granny.

What mistakes have the medico’s made apart from JDG and maybe Brodie’s hammy this year?

Yep true.

Surely we have among the best facilities at the club too. One thing they let you be a capitalist within such a socialistic system.

 

[MooreDaicos]

Are you going to be able to handle Lipinski and Robertson in the same side?

I'll cope

 

[sam_e]

This was mostly due to injuries though. We've now added two midfield capable players and traded out two who do not play midfield. We have thickened the soup.

gone backwards a tad on pure leg-speed, run 'n carry

but certainly gone forwards in terms of size & strength and attacking leg

 

[Chameleon75]

We entered this trade period with a handful of beans, but because of noble and Richards, we’ve turned it into a gold bar.

 

[Kes1984]

No mistakes outside of those. I was referring to the sheer number of injuries we had. But I stand corrected. They were a lot of bad luck stuff

 

[RobJD]

I would hope we get some change back

If we get anything back, I hope it's a pick swap that results in an upgrade for us rather than an additional pick. Extra picks mean more players we need to drop off our list (unless we on-trade for someone like Deven)

 

[3rdMan]

Particularly from where we started. Noble requesting a trade and Richards looking like he wanted out - they're the level of player you nearly always lose on as they don't command good picks, so it's just a speculative shot at replacing them.

We entered the trade period with a poor hand of picks. We then found two edge of 22 guys wanted out. To turn that, along with F1, into Houston, is a great outcome. Obviously pending final deal details.

 

[NomadPie]

Anyone know if Houston still has weeks to run on his suspension? Or would he be available round 1.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

From Michael Gleeson:

Collingwood have agreed to a trade giving up a future first round pick, a second round pick, John Noble

. There might be a pick or two in the 50’s or 60s coming to Collingwood.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Anyone know if Houston still has weeks to run on his suspension? Or would he be available round 1.

Just one week to go.

 

[Jen2310]

 

[sr36]

And he's 32 next year, so I wouldn't be expecting much from him.

He's a stop gap. Better option next year than what we've got and I think we'll draft a tall for the future. The injured guy who trained with us last year is my bet.

 

[NMBB]

Channel 7 news "Pies close in on their man"

 

[Jen2310]

and pick 36..

omg

 

[Bramax]

Just one week to go.

Will he get a game in the ones first up or a run in the VFL first?

 

[manicpie]

Delicately poised, lol. Such a drama queen

 

[Apex36]

Damian Barrett: “I still think Houston will get to Carltank”.

j/k

I was listening to him on trade radio today and have no idea how he could even comment on this trade with a straight face. A caller rand and said how do the pies get 13 for John Noble and his literal response was “uhhhhh, I’m not really on top of all that, just the main trades”.
Like that wasn’t one part of the biggest ****ing trade of this whole period! No wonder he thought Carlton were ahead, he couldn’t even wrap his head around how we would get 13 from GC

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

We entered this trade period with a handful of beans, but because of noble and Richards, we’ve turned it into a gold bar.

I sincerely hope there are no Pie supporters who boo Richards & Noble when they play against us.

They should get a standing ovation.

 

[Apex36]

Anyone know if Houston still has weeks to run on his suspension? Or would he be available round 1.

1 week left.

 

[swoop42]

He'll face a lot of competition but I reckon Damo stating JUST LAST NIGHT that Houston would end up at Carlton takes the prize for the worst call of the trade period.
