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

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Houston was playing for Carlton before the draft was done

Check Carlton's Wiki page in June and they'll be listed as 2025 Premiers.

I'm confident we'll get him

I reckon we'll have more than enough cap to get them both in (assuming we even have interest in Richards)

I'd love Richards I just have no idea if we have interest in him and I also don't see why he wouldn't re-sign with the Dogs?

Why does any player take a free agency offer? Dogs cap is bursting, they’re not going to be able to get close to the offers he’ll get imo.

I ****ing love JHF, what a player

In that 10 possessions a game type of way ?

You'd presume even St Kilda wouldn't be big enough pricks to someone who would've qualified as an FA anyway, to not delist him so that he could actually get to where he wanted to go, so I doubt it would've mattered, but it's nice to not have to depend on clubs like St Kilda to act rationally.

Pretty sure that in his situation he’s free to knock back a contract and delist himself via his contract expiring if he chooses to do so.
The only players who can do that are ones who have been delisted before. So yeah, the Saints will end up delisting him anyway because they really have no choice in the matter.

 

[Apex36]

I reckon it will. Otherwise we would have kept Eyre

Every chance we’d take him on as an SSP rookie if he doesn’t get picked up via free agency and we have the list spot, but I’m with Jen, it sounded very much like it was one senior list spot available from the way Leppa was talking about it.

One of four players competition-wide to average 20+ disposals and kick 25+ goals. Pretty handy!

He is undersized (188cm).

I would much prefer a big power forward that can also play in the ruck when required. I was imagining a tall forward around 200cm. We were looking to replace McStay/Checkers when they are injured.

At least with Hayes, (only 194cm) you could see improvement on his previous output due to age and bad run with injuries.

Membrey I view as a poor man's Elliott or WHE.

I view him as much better cover for Elliott, Checkers and McStay(via covering Checkers) than we had this year.

I'd love Richards I just have no idea if we have interest in him and I also don't see why he wouldn't re-sign with the Dogs?

Would love Ed at the club. When he moved to the mids during this year it added a much needed spark to the Dogs midfield. With Libba and Treloar in the twilight of their careers he may hang around to take their spot full time, or if Bevo keeps dicking him around and we promise him a full time mid role we could get him.

But IMO as it stands I think he stays….

"Leppa blowing up at everyone".........??

 

[sr36]

The principle is that players out of contract can’t just walk to another club if their current club wants them. They need to be traded or take themselves to the draft.

Yeah. It's just the FA factor. And he did qualify as a FA in two ways: 10 years at Saints and previously delisted. But it looks like tfor both of those, that window is only available during trade week. And he'll need to be frshly delisted by the Saints - which has asumedly been already agreed to, you'd hope - otherwise he'll be a PSD play.

 

[DopeMaster]

Every club with cap room will be making him monster offers that we’d be unlikely to be able to match.

Richards is the one imo, suits our style of play more too with his speed and agility.

True. But that assumes his decision will come down to highest bidder. He may be the type to value success, crowds, exposure, playing alongside Nick etc more than the biggest payday.

As you say, Richards would be a great fit too, and may be squeezed out due to Doggies cap. Though similar to LDU plenty of offers will come in for him too.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Why does any player take a free agency offer? Dogs cap is bursting, they’re not going to be able to get close to the offers he’ll get imo.

I'd like to think I'm not so cynical as to think it's all about money

I'd like to think LDU will take less than he could elsewhere to play for us

Having said that, it would still take a lot to pry him out of North given they also have a shitload of cap space to force a trade

Why? Do we have a link?

"Leppa blowing up at everyone".........??

Damian Barrett is a knob. Trying to make a story out of little in terms of our off-field changes but giving no credit at all for our trade success. He says that Port's loss of Houston was the worst trade in history. So, Damo, if its that terrible a deal for Port, wouldn't it be reasonable to conclude that the Pies nailed it? But no, Damo can't bring himself to say anything positive at all about Collingwood. Miserable bstard.

And as far as the off-field stuff goes, I reckon we're now in the resolution phase. Unhappy people have left, replacements are being appointed. Our "back office" is going to be much more stable for season 2025 than it was for season 2024.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Time for everyone to be angry with me again

Weideman?

 

[In Fly We Trust]

LDU is after team success, finals footy and a realistic shot at the flag.

That is why he is waiting to see if North improve and by how much in 25 before making a call.

Think we would be a very good fit for what he is chasing.

Well no, but the point is that often you do take unders at better clubs due to other advantages

We paid a fair price for Houston it all just went to Gold Coast somehow.

It’s not all about money, but if you compare Norf to the dogs in terms of cap room, you’d expect any offer for LDU to be able to be comfortably matched or at least be close to the mark. With the state of the dogs cap Richards could easily be getting offers of $200k+ per year more than the dogs are able to offer. On a long term deal he could be potentially giving up well over $1m to stay put, even if he doesn’t go for the highest offer. Not sure many players would leave that kind of money on the table in the name of loyalty to a club, given clubs don’t show that kind of loyalty to their players as a general rule.

If he reckons that the Houston trade is the worst in history he’d be well advised to take a look through Fremantles trade history.

Sorry to break it to you, but Murray passed away a while ago

If he’s offered unders North will match
