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

[Fat Jesus]

Looking like we’ll only add 3-4 players, prefer they’re all longer term prospects.

Fair enough mate. I'm just thinking Jake could be the difference next year.
Definitely a talent. Confident in landing some young talent as well with JFN leaving and possibly others.

 

[jimmy35]

I see another brick in the wall.

All in all I agree.

I think we'll be trying to add more than that. A fair few are out of contract at end of the year. And a contracted one has requested a trade.

 

[Ctracks]

Stringer for a pick in the 40s or 50s?

 

[TakingThePies]

Peatling 10 touches as a mid in an elimination final. Cross him off the list.

He was tagging Zorko for the first half..

Begg, Murphy, and Carmichael the only confirmed departures at this stage and we’ve already replaced 1 of them. I think Bytel, Long and Sullivan are all at risk. Beyond that, I’d like to see Dean, Eyre, McInnes and Kreuger retained. So imho, 6 departures, Smit already added, 3-4 added through trade and draft period, 1-2 SSP. Be +1 if Noble deal gets done, I think Richards will stay.

Fair enough, but regardless of what you or I want - an unsigned player at this stage of the year suggests that either we're not willing to commit to them yet and are leaving their spots open for potential recruitment or they're not signing yet in case they can get elsewhere - or are undecided.

7 in the first half and 3 in the 2nd half though...

Long, Dean going nowhere. Staying

Wait doesn't everyone do that during camping season???

You don't want skid marks on the outside.

We don't get skid marks in Thailand. Wash off with the high pressure hose.
Brilliant invention

[HFF]

Peatling 10 touches in a final as a midfielder is very underwhelming
Sure he kicked 2 goals but for the amount of mins spent on ball for 10 touches for the game …not sure the hype is warranted.

Some could holding out for the market, a few might be open to other opportunities.

Agree.

Although, I think with our current list - where the two obvious goals are topping up to have a crack at the flag and regenerating an aging list - it'd be odd for us to have minimal movement on the list. I think it'll be about 7-8 in - like most years. so other than Richards, I suspect it's the club holding out to keep options open. Reef's the only other one that I think might have interest and be in a decision rather than a fingered cross Please please please posiiton.

That'd be nice.

Or angling for a beter deal from the pies I suppose.

 

[Go Woods]

Why don't you want Jake bro?
He's a star

Any player we can afford and will make us better, is a yes for me.

 

[partypie]

Dunno about you but I'm still pretty good at not leaving skiddies behind in the jocks...

 

[HFF]

It’s important we don’t burn through our draft capital unless it’s for the right player
We got some names returning to health next year and we have a few younger guys who look ready to play more regularly too.

I’d rather sit on our hands and do very little rather than just burn through current and future draft capital unnecessarily.

He played HFF, HFF

 

[ThePhantom777]

Is Houston contemplating coming a reality? I dunno, we get linked to everyone and get very few, especially if they are a big names.

If we traded next year's first (only because of McGuane), Noble (what we get for him) and Richards for Houston then we have clearly won. Not sure it's possible or that easy though.

Surely overs

 

[HFF]

He played HFF, HFF

It’s still an underwhelming output
He doesn’t stay inside 50 as a small forward …he is up around the ball pretty much 90% of the time.

I’d be careful offering this type of player a substantial contract and length

From all reports, he played a tagging role on Zorco, so it might be why. He did kick 2 goals though

It’s not getting any better when you say that…did you see the output Zorko delivered in that match and at 35yrs of age?
