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

[HoraceStrasbork]

one of my fav non pies players. Been on the membrey train with manic at the front. 40 goals playing for the saints = 70 for us

Can’t remember what happened the last time we recruited a st kilda player. Think we might have won one of those premiership things

Thrilled with the Membrey acquisition. Tireless leads at the footy, good overhead (less so contested), kicks goals and does so accurately. I think he'll have 2-3 years in him, and gives us some interesting options with our structure in the front half

 

[Harry O]

As a DFA who can kick 40 goals it is a bit of a no brainer to take him

 

[sr36]

Saints played best football when King was out and Membrey was one of the main targets.

30 goals for a team that plays crap slow footy.

Got me stuffed why they haven't resigned him.

Saints held firm on one year.

And he's actually a DFA because he was delisted by Sydney a decade ago. So they don't have a choice.

they're backing in their younger blokes - their loss is our gain

He was delisted the year before we recruited him so he doesn’t count

Got me there. Ok someone who was any good

If we only realised later on then Leppa is a bit slow on the uptake. It was pretty widely reported early on that he wasn’t being offered a new deal and would be up for grabs.

That doesn't mean he was sure about what spots we'd have available on our list.

It's easy to look back on the trade period and assume that what got reported and what actually ended up happening were the sum totality of what possibilities were on the table, but we don't know that there weren't other plans that they thought were possible and didn't shake out.

Maybe the original plan was to use Joe Richards going to Port as a way to leverage getting Ollie Lord traded to us, but when Houston became available, we changed strategies.

Maybe there were names we never even heard reported that they thought they'd have the opportunity to have a serious crack at, and when no relevant forwards ended up being options, they looked at Membrey.

 

[Scodog10]

Isn’t Membrey a UFA anyway?

True, he could well be, but my understanding is that the upcoming window is for DFA’s? The trigger for that would be delisting rather than his contract lapsing.

 

[Pistol Night]

If Membrey plays every game, with his goal average, he would go close to win the goal kicking. He would finish between 35 to 37 goals.
Good get, l think. He will provide support to Mihocek, and a good foil for McStay as our key forward....

He's mobile so in our set up with fast ball movement i think he can be a serious weapon. Imagine playing KPF for St Kilda and still kicking 30-40 goals

Thrilled with the Membrey acquisition.

Not to be too much of a pedant.
While the signs look good, we haven’t as yet.

What? I was responding to a post suggesting that we were looking at Hayes and only switched to Membrey when we realised he was available. None of what you said is really relevant to that at all, so

 

[Apex36]

He was originally delisted by Sydney and permanently available as a DFA when out of contract if I recall the rules correctly.

It's such an interesting process
If Houston hadn't been available, our targets could and possibly been

• Lord (PA)
• Humphries (GC)

Would love to be privy all the other convos as well

 

[Kes1984]

Can only play him in the team if Mcstay 2nd rucks and no cox

I hope we can get off our reliance on Cox for our structure. He personally doesn't do enough, yet his presence out there makes such a difference - his sheer size naturally draws oppo attention, which frees up others around him. Our season derailed when he went out.

So would be ideal, to back in Cameron to now do more ruck work, and having a chop out from a tall like McStay and no Cox taking a spot in the 23. Get better value having someone else in the side overall.

St Kilda and good don't usually go hand in hand lol

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Membrey is our much older, much cheaper Logan Morris.

 

[Exambolor]

they're backing in their younger blokes - their loss is our gain

Yeah they’ve got King, Sharman, Campaignerniti, Owens as fwds (Although IMO Owens should be running through the midfield and he’s wasted up forward)

You're right, I should probably wait until November!

Not the first list management error they've made

Thanks Nick.
Journos by the way had you believe he was headed to Carlton.
Lesson learned I'm hoping. Doubting though. Wake up.

Mental health issues, what better club to play for than Collingwood! Our supporters aren't harsh on our players at all.

Carlton, Richmond and Essendon “supporters” take the cake.
