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

[Jen2310]

Thanks Jen, it will be tough on whoever they let go. I would payout AJ first if there is salary cap room.

Yeah. Tough on list spots.

Think we will delist ash and rookie him. We don't seem to delist and pay out.

So if Membrey takes the final list spot.

We have 2 senior OOC

reef
Kreuger

And then 5 Rookies OOC. (Dean, Eyre, Sullivan, Bytel, Long)

We need to make 2-3 senior list spots available for the draft

 

[Finnishpie]

Daicos brothers have 10 to 12 years if not more.

Moore has maybe 5 or so. Same timeframe as Houston, Maynard etc.

Quaynot has 9 to 11 years if not more.


So you're looking at 2 eras with your post.

It’s the post-1990 trauma speaking through me……

 

[Hardas]

I think Krueger and Reef will be delisted and AJ put on the rookie list

Punchable goalsneak?

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Let’s not pretend that everyone didn’t already know what the Bolton and Rioli deals were going to net Richmond well before today.

I doubt their timing would have changed anything.

Regardless, I'm still glad we got it signed off yesterday.

 

[JOELY]

Given they knew eyre would only play half a season (ended up being 8 games when he returned from his hamstring), I think he needs a full pre-season to get his body right. One more year I think to see how he goes.

He understandably came back tentative, but the club threw him foward and he couldn't hold a mark to save his life. So went from a bloke without confidence in his body, to a bloke with no confidence full stop. Looked miles off it, but not all his fault.

 

[Hardas]

Membrey has sticky hands.

Well, it IS the off-season...

 

[Apex36]

Well... We might be in a bit of strife here.

Not really. He wasn’t in first round calculations at all 12 months ago. If he continues his current development curve and keeps growing a little the sky is the limit.

 

[Hardas]

Ash Johnson needs a big summer.
He should really be trying to stake his claim and force his way into the 23

Perhaps he will do well playing on the edge when his career is on the line

My understanding is personal issues related to on-line abuse took all the wind out of his sails early in the season proper.

 

[Harry O]

If Ashcroft gets a bid in top 2 , lions might want a chat about our points if they want Marshall

 

[Apex36]

On Reef and AJ. I’d delist AJ and commit to redrafting him in the rookie draft, hoping someone else grabs him instead, and offer Reef a 1 year deal, committing to developing him in defence for the next 12 months.

Hopefully other clubs would see value in taking on AJ for a 12 month rookie deal (looking at you Melbourne you ****ing rabble of a club).

 

[Babylove]

I think Krueger and Reef will be delisted and AJ put on the rookie list

Can we do that considering he started out on our rookie list?

Yeah, we can.

You have such a beautiful way with words when you talk about Melbourne

If thats fair dinkum, he not only doesnt have the work ethic, he also doesnt have a professional mindset. Or as us dinosaurs would say, a little soft.

Don’t like Reef’s chances. If he gets a year then we don’t worry about a DFA or find someone else contracted to delist and re-rookie.

 

[manicpie]

I don't think it's soft. It just appears like a guy who doesn't really want an AFL career

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Some of that abuse was related to his race which can be extremely devastating and damaging.

 

[ksardog]

Reef is a genuinely a good point in being excited.
Still young.. we won't be trading him just yet.

I hope you are right, just needs a decent go at it and some faith shown in him.

Eh, after this trade period anything could happen. Let’s throw it out there

Soft as in he lets some words online from people he doesnt know affect his mental state.

Some of that abuse was related to his race which can be extremely devastating and damaging.

But as PS said, some folks get super upset over words regarding race. Again, I dont see how words from people youve never met can affect you, but young'uns these days are made of "different" stuff.

 

[SchuPie]

I think if smith gets walked to the draft, there are lower clubs with plenty of cap space to fit his contractual demands on a short notice. Lock him up on a contract and then force cats to trade for him next year and reap the benefits.

Delicious

 

[Prexm]

I think Krueger and Reef will be delisted and AJ put on the rookie list

Be surprised if this is not what happens. Think at least 2 rookies will go as well , probably Bytel and Sullivan. That then gives us the 9 off we need to get 7 new players which is most likely.
Perryman , Houston , DFA , 2 or 3 ND and 1 or 2 SSP

 

[Matt_352]

Like previous poster has said, think we need to try and mould Reef into Murphy 2.0.

 

[sr36]

Can we do that considering he started out on our rookie list?

Yes

 

[3rdMan]

Like previous poster has said, think we need to try and mould Reef into Murphy 2.0.

Murphy was a very particular type of player. If Reef makes it as a defender I think he'd be closer to Howe than Murphy (though not all that close to either).
