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

[Jelly Bean]

Still not done. Need to get Tomlinson to hope he can take a key back position off Frampton, and get that other tall from Saints.

 

[Tadpole]

Tonight, l feel so much more relaxed now we have Houston. No more waking up at 4am checking for any updates over night and scrolling through big footy for any info l may have missed about the potential trade. Tonight l will sleep like a baby......

Forget sleeping like a baby. I want to sleep like my husband.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Because we gave up too much. A half back flanker is not worth that much. Especially when our spine is so poor.

You need to balance your objectives. We have one of the worst groups of young players in the league. We missed finals this year and are relying on having a dream run with injury to be competitive again

We gave up two fringe players neither of whom were particularly young as well as a future pick that we had to trade anyway…..for a dual AA (2023-24, he’s on a hat trick) with elite disposal .

And picked up a versatile ready to go defender/midfielder.

Sounds good to a rational thinker.

 

[TakingThePies]

You know whats really going to hurt Port supporters more.

Boak is pretty much locked in to come to Pies in coaching role.

You’d think so wouldn’t you.

Exactly. Anyone that has ever had a baby knows that's a dumb saying & a flat out lie.

Yeah that was reported a couple of weeks ago, unless he lands an extension at Port as a player.

 

[JuniorB]

Yeah and the lost flexibility of having pick 10 was the biggest factor, IMO. Had we kept 10 we wouldn’t have needed to do so much work on 13 with GC and could have approached everything differently. I’m team Shoota though so no complaints here.

Hopefully next year Shoota won't have to moonlight as a CHF/FF due to injuries, and do what we got him for.

Too soon to head over to the Port board and ask what strengths he'll bring to our club?

 

[HyPIEcrite]

It's not a bad idea. McStay is a very good main marking target up forward though. Membrey and Hayes can't play that role (Hayes cant be relied on as a starter in any role). We'd need someone who's good one on one and also mobile enough to get from contest to contest.

I'm just hoping we can have McStay and Mihocek play together most of the season. Reckon they're a strong forward combo.

Has played down back before and was reasonable. Pretty sure he spent quite a few games down there in the year before coming to us

10 years out, I'm still recovering.

They wanted him to go again, I think he's done.

Tell em' we are absolutely spewing as Joe Richards is a gun.

 

[celestial]

Hopefully leppa isn't done.

 

[rdangelo]

Someone should pop into the Port Housten thread page 100 and ask what we need to lure Bergman next year...

The replies to this tweet are off the charts incredible

It's like they're stuck, never able to leave the bile of a game day thread.

Ya see, I think thats a bit harsh, like shooting bambi.

More fun, prodding the Carlton Board and related

 

[TradeDraft]

SEN and Trade Radio be good for a Laugh Tommorow Morning

Though I dare say that Houston is Overrated and we don't have Picks in next few Drafts

 

[Big Bryza]

So now that is done, after becoming all Australian last year, Houston asked to renegotiate his contract, he is on $600 a year. Power said no.

Then recruited Esava at $750, you can imagine how this went down with CSM and the Houston camp. So earlier this year they asked again, and were rejected again. So they did the deal to go to Melbourne, except Melbourne imploded.

Given Tracs manager is the same as Houstons, he bailed on the deal, having knowledge of what is going on at Melbourne. And then asked to be traded to Carlton or us, whoever could do the deal, which is why he didn't nominate. Carlton don't have the cap space, they need to sign TDK next year as everyone is after him as a free agent.

Now we have him for 6 years, and can front end him to make up what he feels he is worth, which is much more than what he was on at Port.

So they had their chance, twice, and didn't take it, and he is going to be our best acquisition in many years.

Unrelated to that, Butters is gettable next year, club/s are already into him, I am sure you can guess which club that might be, and I think he will leave, which should send Port supporters into total meltdown again.

Interesting watch this one. I started thinking about who else from Port will be gettable in coming years. Butters would be a huge get.

 

[BEEG]

Love the idea of Membery, I mentioned it after the Stringer deal fell through.

The bloke is a good player the last 5-6 weeks were really good.

Farrell is a free agent next year

 

[TradeDraft]

No he's copped it after we've seen him play after what we paid for him

Not before he even left WA

Lot People where Excited when the Trade for Schultz Happened

Exactly right.

It's so repetitively salty it's boring.
