List Mgmt. The OFFICIAL 2013 Trade/Free Agency Targets Thread

[the smith show]

Got a message saying that Barrett said we were after another big name player? Possibly a backman? Anyone hear what was said?

Shaw? Docherty (not so big name)?

Tarrant has cement hands

North Trading Shafted, surely not.

Ha

Yeah I almost just expect it these days that we will be bent over and cop it. If we don't get that shaft we generally miss out.

Luckily our drafting of kids has been better.

Hi all.
First time poster long and avid viewer of the BF forums.
Just wondering with all the NDS trade/free agency talk, does anyone think that maybe the saints are holding off letting us get NDS as a free agent incase they get a free agent themselves and reduce the likely compo from the AFL? So maybe our second rounder might be a better option if they did intend to get a FA in. Not sure if they are even linked with any though.

TruRoos7, first post is a good one and get on board

I reckon your insight might just be the case.

There are multiple things at play with the StK deal, and that is not one I thought of. I think it really comes down to StK wanting the BEST possible outcome however it happen if Dal Santo leaves - guess in time we will find out what exactly is happening.

Nah mate, I read it but didn't bother to get involved. You were 100% spot on in terms of our dealings, including lucking out with Black at his spot and so on.

Brad had James Frawley over for dinner the other night, I think that is what I wrote should happen.

only problem is what sort of a moron FA would you have to be, to want to go to St Kilda. but yeah the thought is a good one, pity I had not come up with it.

Essendon have put in a bid to get Nick Dal Santo but North Melbourne still looks the most likely to get him. #AFL

Hope the * end up with him as Goddard, high priced free agents with very limited life span.

Still, I admit that I've been convinced otherwise and all good. Can't believe Floggard won their BNF, but doesn't impact games.

Knowing our track record, lock NDS as a Bummer next season.

 

[LpH94]

Also found it weird was mucking around on the AFL's website on the Trade Hub http://www.afl.com.au/trade-period/
And decided to try to trade Delaney for Dal Santo but couldn't find him on the saints list of players.

Unfortunately for them, Dal isn't a big fan of Thymosin.

Dal left his meeting with the bummers very unimpressed according to Barrett. Id be suprised if he chose them. Remember with Dal it doesnt appear to be about money, north and our leadership group have let him know how much we want him. He'll make the right decision...

 

[Heaps of fun]

This time of year is great for footballers, everyone is a "star".

 

[BlakeDebeljak]

Wait, what big guns?

 

[Twinkletoes]

Wait, what big guns?

Robbie Tarrant's.

 

[BlakeDebeljak]

ahhhh, I see. If we can't trade, let's physically drag him out of St.Kilda

Assuming our side round 1 next year is:

B: McMahon, Thompson, C.Delaney
HB: McDonald, Grima, Mullett
C: Wells, Cunnington, Dal Santo
HF: Harvey, Tarrant, Adams
F: Black, Petrie, Thomas
R: Goldstein, Swallow, Ziebell

I: Bastinac, Atley, McKenzie, Gibson

Off the top of my head, our experience breakdown would be:

Less than 50: 7 (including Gibson, who is as reliable as a 150 gamer)
50 to 99: 6
100 to 149: 5
150 or more: 4

Pretty handy, definitely nearing the window.

He would justifiably be wary of all those steroids I hear they shrink your genitals.
