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

[sr36]

He would have been an unrestricted free agent which still nets comps and could have helped us us more with the deal.

Good point, but I think it would have been low compo.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Membrey is good, proven AFL level backup. A more certain option than Hayes.

He'll be able to cover McStay or Mihocek, but only as a secondary forward, though his best position is as third "tall", not sure he'll crack the team for that role unless Cox was injured (or one or two smalls) and we played either McStay or Frampton as second ruck.

Unless we’re not planning on resting a ruck forward with a potential switch to 5 on the bench

casboult went on and had a decent last few years at Gold Coast. I’m sure membrey can do the same

 

[Bianconeri]

True and it would have just ended up with Gold Coast given how they negotiated.

 

[3rdMan]

Would possibly be our best "tall" offensively. If we can fit him in the team, he'd be dangerous as a third tall in the role Reef and AJ rarely got to play. Otherwise he's solid backup either for a tall or small.

Doesn't have the flexibility to backup as a primary tall target or ruck, but with Richards gone and Harrison injured, it's helpful to have another medium who can backup a small forward as well as a tall.

I imagine his role would be what WHE plays?

interesting example of logical thinking, stormy....

Why did St Kilda delist him?

 

[Finnishpie]

You got to dig a little deeper and look at the quality of players under 25.
Green is players above average for their age, yellow is where they should be and red is for poor players

Quaynor (24) - Was really poor in 2024, okay role player overall

Hill (24) - Good small forward, brilliant some weeks, quiet other ones.

Mcreery (23) Decent role player
Dean (23) Might make it as an okay tall defender
Macrae (22) Really poor player
Parker (22) Might be a decent player, physically a bit of a worry.
Mcinnes (21) almost got delisted

Daicos - Superstar

Long - Poor player
Steene - Too early to say
Harrison - Gonna struggle to make it with a 12 month ACL

Allan - Shows promise

Ryan - Been mediocre at VFL level
Jiath/Smit/Demattia - Too early to comment.


If you were to compare that to most other teams in the AFL, we're a long way behind. Nick Daicos is the only one stopping us from coming virtually dead last in talent under 25.

Hopefully we can do the Geelong method and keep adding stars every year to keep us in contention, if not then there's a massive rebound coming.

This. Exactly.

Seems like a player that had a lot of potential but never  really lived up to it. Maybe that had something to do with playing for shit teams. Got him for nothing and will be handy depth if nothing else.

His playstyle always reminded me of a slightly taller, less talented Jamie Elliott in that he's strong overhead with a good leap.

 

[Finnishpie]

Actually, it’s all speculation if it was only about proven facts, no thread would have more than 3 pages.

Okay, let’s get technical! Guessing without basis for any likelihood above 50%. The permutations are too many to really know.

 

[JoinDate]

Has been pretty resilient, although last year wasnt too good. He's had those mental health issues, but he played most of this season. Make him read the game-day threads and that should sort out his issues.

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

 

[Finnishpie]

Forgetting the one premiership medallion hanging around one of their necks … that’s not a bad stat
Whilst he has deficiencies, I like Billy in the team and think his ruckwork during the 2023 season went undervalued when Darcy and Cox went down. In saying all that I hope we get Tomlinson as an insurance policy. 2025 the year of the Pie

If Dean is on the list, I actually think he’s make a better defender than both.

 

[Finnishpie]

Can either of them play ruck if Cameron and Cox go down?

I don’t understand letting Kreuger go at all.

We went through it last year. Cox and Cameron injured at the same time and having no ruckman.

Then Mihocek, Cox and McStay injured at the same time this year.

I guess Frampton is the backup.

 

[WakeUpPies]

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

Nick mates with Harley Reid by any chance?

 

[Daicosian silk]

Good Moneyball pickup. Proven goalkicker and at 30 we could get 2-3 years out of him. Dangerous 3rd tall at best Handy depth at worst. Now for Tomlinson for key position coverage down back…

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Good pick up. Played under Longmire and Lyon so he’ll love playing for Fly.

 

[WakeUpPies]

I don’t think he will fit at the club.






His goal kicking is a bit too accurate.

 

[Johno9911]

I think something we'll appreciate in Membrey is his work rate - more so that it gives us the luxury of not needing to overwork a Mcstay or Mihocek around the ground, and keeping one as a deepest forward.

In particular Checkers works so hard up and down the ground, having another guy that can chop him out will help preserve him and allow him to spend some time closer to goal which will only help him imo.

 

[Jen2310]

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

nick trying to make sure he doesn’t play half back again

in-laws from his mums side are friends with the Reid’s, can confirm work is being put in.

 

[cfc19902010]

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

or he might be handy if one of mcstay or miho gets injured which has usually happened

Why did St Kilda delist him?

They haven’t yet, he can just leave them I think he’s an uncontracted UFA
