List Mgmt. Trade and Free Agency Discussion 2018 - Edition III - OP contains trade summary

[fargothegreat]

Tyson is on $500k next year. I don't think we can afford to pay him that

 

[Snout]

Had a few PMs asking whether I’d heard anything re the Tiges, and thought it would be easier to reply here. Always happy to share what I hear.

It’s just that other than Lynch, there hasn’t really been anything worth talking about.

Basically, my mate in the industry is pretty adamant Lynch was the only big play for us this year. Salary cap space is tight, and with what even mid-tier players can demand at the moment, we’re simply not in a position to attract another recognised quality player in this trade period.

If something falls in our lap, of course we’ll consider it on its merits.. but as of now my understanding is there are no more irons in the fire, and we’ll be hitting the draft to fill the gaps in our list left by departing players.

Tom Scully’s future at the Giants remains slightly clouded as he is understood to be open to the idea of moving back to Victoria if it were also to suit the Giants and despite him still being contracted.

With Giants ruckman Rory Lobb likely to be traded within days to Fremantle and Shiel also moving the Giants will have less salary-cap pressure and therefore less imperative to trade Scully.

Can't afford him.

We need a spreadsheet of your movements compared to player movements.

Your threats are becoming tiresome , as if he’d be a chance , way too great a risk with the youth we have on our list

Speaking of midfielders, I hope Dee Dee Prestia has a good year next year.
One of my favourite players but, gee, he was disappointing this year.

part time player

FFS. The trade period goes for 10 days. It's only day 2 and people are talking Bennel. How much further will the insanity go before the end of the Trade period.

Thanks Snout. Sounds like a good plan.

Is a midfield of Martin, Cotchin, Prestia, Lambert, Edwards, Graham, Higgins, Grigg really that bad? Yeah ok if a gun goes down we might be in trouble but you could say that about a lot of clubs. The clearances need some work and hopefully we work on that over the summer, it seems we lose a few by design to get the footy back. Really don’t think our mids are that bad at all

Thanks for the info. Was there anything in the Crouch and Scully talk?

How is young Naish coming along?

Tyson is on $500k next year. I don't think we can afford to pay him that

why ? we just got rid of 5 players and def would be over 1.2 per year in that as a total per year.

 

[Phar Ace]

That's very wise

Makes **** all sense but wise haha

He's a mid.

Sorry you can't see the sense. It'll come.

Doesn't mean we have the room to pay a B/C grader in Tyson $500k

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Scully has had a high salary since his career started, he’s due for a pay cut

Its good but not great at all , Prestia always injured, Graham to slow doesn't attack enough, Grigg getting to slow .

 

[Cotchy9]

Didn’t see enough of the 2’s this year to make a good judgment. Had a couple of 25 touch games towards the back end of the year but still quite skinny and an outside player

 

[Wacky Tiger]

If like Snout has suggested that we don't have anything else on the go outside of the draft I'd be inclined to keep Lloyd now. We need some sort of experienced midfield depth

Can't keep an uncontracted player who wants to move on. Club will let him go so that he can get more opportunity.

 

[SavDog23]

Keen on Graham and Higgo to take another step up next season and become those inside mids we haven't been able to trade in this year. Reckon they can do it.
