List Mgmt. Trade and Free Agency Discussion 2018 - Edition II

[Bojangles17]

Sorry, just a question without notice - for all these players who will be leaving us, do we receive any compensation/picks for any of them?

All these changes will definitely force us to either be extremely proactive on the trade table and/or draft. A fantastic way to ensure we have an eye on the future even when we are so successful in the present.

I expect a fistful of r2s and 3s in return to restock those that for most part where nowhere near getting a reg game

 

[Bojangles17]

If we can go hard at Hopper and grab Tyson for close to nothing then that's what we should do. Dom will come cheap and Hopper is an inside/contested beast. Would be a decade superstar. All year, I haven't wanted someone more then Hopper as I believe getting him is realistic.

Why would they let him go , I believe their strategy to let go Shiel Lobb and co is to keep hopper and Taranto etc

 

[SavDog23]

Dunkley and Hopper would be fantastic gets for us.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Not in this draft. Too many question marks for me.

Hopefully we can get a young proven mid with this pick in a trade. It’s somethkng we are definitely working on.

Spill the beans.

 

[SunshineBoy]

All good mate, cheers for all the info we all very much appreciate it. Just makes sense that with so many going out we'll be getting some back in, if not load on the Draft, but it's a lot of depth to lose to just replace with kids, hence the feeling we'll get some players in too.

He has told us nothing, it’s typical Tiger71 and his crap

 

[mad_tiggy911]

This is shit.

 

[Charlie Pannam]

There’s some weird shit happening at GWS
Mummy making a comeback !!!

 

[Phar Ace]

Moore and Menadue signing on for 1 year as well as Bolton.

Rekon Menadue is lucky so many are leaving as I dare say he would also be out. Hopefully another year in system with a big pre season he can turn things around. I dont see it but we need Menadue taking over Griggs role minus the rucking of coarse.

Have mixed feelings about Menadue - like the way he went about it early on, then seemed to stagnate even with opportunities about. Didn't think a lot if his 2018

 

[GPetro13]

Hopper is under contract. We can go as hard as we like. GWS don't have to do anything but hold him to his contract. He can't even use the go home factor because he's from up that way.

How long is left in his contract? We go hard for what we need and they don’t have to trade one of their other stars. Win/win

 

[GPetro13]

Well Astbury will not be around for ever and we need the new crop after Rance and Grimes. I do not think Finlayson is that bad its just an area GWS is strong in atm so they are shopping him around to reduce cap.

We do not have a lot of defensive backup do we? Only Garhwaite. What if one of our defenders goes done? Can Finlayson play elsewhere?

What about Miller? Long term I suppose and very doubtful on him

Can't lose em all, he was borderline 22. Has another year to lift. no issue for me still 22.

 

[GPetro13]

A lot of talent but also a lot of injuries as a junior and in his two years at GWS



Have you followed trade period ever? Players always get where they want and the closest a team has come to matching is Dangerfield because Geelong had a higher pick than the potential compo.

Never followed trade period, tell me more please

 

[Mr Magic]

What about Miller? Long term I suppose and very doubtful on him

Well I am not sure Miller will be necessarily a back. For example I don't think Miller and Finlayson would be competing for the same spot.

I have not given up on Miller forward and in the ruck yet!!

 

[GPetro13]

Why would they let him go , I believe their strategy to let go Shiel Lobb and co is to keep hopper and Taranto etc

Only let him go if we offer something they can’t refuse. Young inside mid is a priority. Who else can we go for that’ll add serious talent to our team? If Lynch comes along, all we lack is an inside mid that’s no doubt best 22. Probably need a backup ruck too

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

I would have kept Lloyd now that Conca is going.
We have to have some depth at this rate there will be nobody left at RFC

We have to hang onto BEllis

 

[Phar Ace]

Interested to know if you saw his 2018 VFL Elimination game against Essendon? All player can have bad games, his kicking was pretty ordinary at times though. His improvement has certainly flat-lined. I just think he was lucky to re-contracted.

 

[Socrates2]

Aaron Hall wants to go to North Melbourne. Gold Coast are gonna have a joke of a team.

Do feel sorry for the odd supporter who started supporting them from another club.

 

[Socrates2]

Scully and Townsend back together again?(At Richmond)

 

[TigerTime_89]

My Dad was texting me asking about why we are trading away depth (He's a Richmond supporter but not quite devoted as yours truely).
Anyway, I said we were looking into Tom Scully (Don't think he knew who he was, lol) and Tom Liberatore.
His response: "Tom is a full blown Flog, I want to belt the bloke". LOL.

Sorry about the text, didn't know how to spell Liberatore so I had to copy it from Wikipedia and couldn't get it back to normal text size.

Please stop clogging the thread up.

[Grockadoc]

Guess that depends who they lose, is Shiel and Lobb enough? Time will tell I guess

Murmurs Tomlinson may request a move too.

 

[theflea]

Yes, you can get compo for RFA's, however Conca is an UFA, meaning we wouldn't get squat.....

Its still based on the wage regardless of the payers status.

Hall apparently going for 4th round pick. Surely could offer a better deal to Suns. He's not the worst player going around.

We need a better midfield , whilst it’s not bad at moment it could do with another two guns in it
