List Mgmt. Trade and F/A 2020 Cont’d

[manicpie]

McCartin, Boyd and Schache.

All described as generational talents by at least one person I'm sure prior to being drafted.

All recent reminders that cashing in all your chicken eggs for one much larger could turn out to be laid by a goose that isn't golden.

While it's fun and fine for all of us to discuss endless trade scenarios at the end of the day it will be how Hine rates this draft and the individual players within that will decide the strategy he believes will give us the best outcome on draft night and it's an almost impossible task for us without knowing this mindset.

Then what are we going to do for the next 3 weeks

 

[Kramer]

I would be very aggressive by trading our future first-rounder to Adelaide for 22, 23 and 40

i like it but would try for 22,23 and future 2nd rounder. there's an obsession with top 10 picks but especially in this draft where most players have had limited exposure i'd much rater us get in 4 top 30 picks.

Hine might take some players higher then some Think they should

 

[partypie]

Thats actually some surprising common sense from the AFL in terms of allowing clubs a bit of flexibility in list sizes, although players on salaries above minimum could certainly have taken a bigger hit, maybe up to 10%.

It will almost be funny to watch agents for all the higher paid players scrambling to push that additional 5% of their salary back to avoid losing anything overall.

If you happen to be an uncontracted player at this point in time then you'd have to be more than a bit nervous about your spot going forwards.

 

[TakingThePies]

Macredie is one Id take. Over McDonald. He just couldn't get a gig over Jones, Weitering ect.

 

[DaVe86]

So it's 44 players including cat B rookies.

I count we currently have 37 plays, including 3 cat B rookies. So can take 7 players in the off-season. I'd say 5 in the draft and 2 delisted FA

Yeah and probably a midfielder

I reckon we’re more likely to go minimal senior list and fill up on our full quota of rookies to save cap space tbh.

Might leave a Few Rookie Spots open for Players to come Train With us to Fight for those Spots

Maximum of 44, but you can have less right?

But 7 would be huge for us. But prob necessary especially for depth.

 

[sr36]

Clearly been signed to fill the new whipping boy position.

But Callum has already surpassed what Phillips was offering in that role. I suppose it's good to have some back up.

 

[Kappa]

Need KPD depth. Hopefully just a 1year deal on 200k. If it’s that I don’t mind.

But knowing Collingwood they’ll sign him for 3 x 350k

200k for Omac is way overs, minimum wage or pass.

 

[sr36]

The cap purge may have been big enough to allow the flexibility to take blokes late in the draft if they rate them and don't think they will make it far into the rookie. Hine used to talk about liking the flexibility of that option. We added Jono Marsh and Langdon that way.

 

[whiskeytown]

200k for Omac is way overs, minimum wage or pass.

That’s must be reasonably close to the 2021 minimum wage for a senior listed player who is not in their initial contract.

 

[Babylove]

Question for those who may know, has a DFA period been announced. I haven't been following it that closely but I do recall a player agent during the trade period saying that there hadn't been announced at that stage.

 

[stevebbb]

One of the slowest lists in the comp and we just got rid of 3 of our quickest players.

Any DFA's have speed? Could use some of that...

Showing how Tight the Salary Cap got

Sounds like it Starts next week

 

[Kappa]

The AFL said uncontracted players for 2021 will be taking a bigger pay cut, and I'm pretty sure the minimum is a little over 100k.

2 of our quickest players. Let’s not pretend that Atu was ever likely to become a member of the best 22.

showed a bit in his debut, was crap in game 2

Atu might not have come on but it still gives us less pace depth.

Hey, we have a guy who ran a 2.78 coming to us. Relax guy

 

[mike123]

Can we get a few more of them?

 

[Pedro]

You do relise that Adelaide are taking McDonald don't you?, so you would have to get pick 1 and that ain't happening

According to Twomey today on the AFL Road to The Draft, he still has no idea who Adelaide will take. He said Hollands,. McDonald & Thilthorpe are in the mix. Not sure where you get the confidence re McDonald.
