List Mgmt. Trade and F/A 2020 Cont’d

[Lip Gallagher]

That’s not a DFA, that’s just standard practice to transfer a player from the senior to the rookie list.

Six of one......

 

[Spuddd]

Scrap my Pittard thought, bring in Lewis for cheap.

Doubt he wants to leave Perth though.

 

[Lip Gallagher]

The lack of indigenous talent on our list is concerning IMO, pretty sure Elliott is our only one after Varcoes retirement.

Not really. You’re talking about a club committed to the player, but just transferring him to the rookie list vs a club completely delisting a guy and another club taking a chance on them. Very different scenarios.

 

[TakingThePies]

The one you're missing is Pittard.

Id take him too - allows Maynard to spend time in the midfield and replaces Mayne if required - depth player.

Yuck. He should have never been drafted.

Elliott is part indigenous?

Elliott isn't indigenous... We currently have none on our list.

Pretty sure he is mate.

Pretty sure he identifies himself as being indigenous.

 

[Spuddd]

Pretty sure he is mate.

Wasn't having a crack here either, legitimately did not know.

 

[TakingThePies]

No sorry he isn't.

Not really, he was delisted, just because no other club took him as a FA doesn't mean he wasn't one, Cats took him back with their second overall pick in the rookie draft.

I’d happily take talent of any race.

Can you link something to confirm this? I’ve never heard of anything of the sort about him and a quick google search yeilded nothing. Gonna have to say you’re wrong on this unless you can actually show something.

He was delisted because it’s the only way to transfer a player to the rookie list. Clubs purposely avoid taking players in the rookie draft if their club has committed to re-drafting them. This is standard practice. He was never available as a DFA. No idea why you’re trying to say otherwise.

 

[Matt_352]

I liked Gown in his draft year, haven't followed him at Dons at all though

Huh? I've literally never heard of Elliott identifying as indigenous.

Just had a look and couldn't find a thing, i always thought he was so there ya go, we have no Indigenous players

 

[TakingThePies]

They were looking at Nevile Jetta... Lewis Jetta yes 31. But his skills are elite.

 

[sr36]

Agree. But at the same time, I'd love us to nab a couple of pacy skilled small forwards, and there does seem to be some sort of genetic or cultural thing that seems to make many indigenous kids really suited to that role, so if we add a couple of the best available pacy skilled forwards, there's a fair chance we'll be adding an indigenous kid or two.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Lewis Jetta is cooked.

 

[Jen2310]

 

[odoyle_rules]

Take Lewis Jetta in a heartbeat on the cheap. Can't crack the Eagle fwd line, but would walk into ours.

Between Kennedy, Darling, Allan, Waterman etc he's got nothing to crumb, and when it does fall they have Ryan, Cripps and the likes. Our forwards cannot catch a cold - clean players with good disposal should be on our radar

 

[tranquilli lace]

If we think we’re in the window (and I get the impression the club thinks we are) then I’d take a flyer on Jetta, but I’d be shocked if it happened.

Bloody oath. Get ‘em in.
