Strategy Trade and List Management thread 3 (...The pining for the departed. Edition)

[TBOW]

Lang looks good to me. Good user.

We were rumored to be keen on him in his draft year by someone on here.
I'm not usually that keen on picking at other clubs fringes but we could definitely use someone with a bit of speed.

 

[TBOW]

Apparently Richmond are prepared to offer Redpath 2 years on decent coin. Makes sense, couldn't think of a better fit for him club wise. He'd be huge paired with Jumping Jack.

Dons are after Webb again too. No idea on offer.

Unrelated, but North and St Kilda having a huge dip at Lever. Millions over everyone else. Years longer too. In the vicinity of a million a year for upwards of 5 years. So many fingers in so many pies for those two clubs. Good luck.

Any idea of our position on Lever D4C?

 

[TBOW]

My god norf are desperate. Throwing money around at anyone who wants it. Surprised the saints would go that hard after Lever considering the got Carlisle on big coin. Two defenders on big coin?

Two teams desperately lacking in top end talent...

 

[Metal]

Big Red is one knee reco away from being finished. No matter how good a club man he is, his injury history suggests he is a risk. I'd consider letting him go if it was part of a plan to get another KPP to the Dogs. Buy low, sell high. Otherwise, no deal.

....and of course Norf is such a desirable destination. That's why they have to throw cash at anything that moves

Its crap st kilds dont want Lever

 

[Dale4captain]

Nah no idea man.

FWIW, clubs see Lever as more than just a backman. Huge swingman potential. Apparently as a junior he did a knee, but before that showed plenty as a forward.

 

[Hoges64]

IF St Kilda do want and get Lever, would we take a look at Hugh Goddard? Promising first year, disrupted 2nd with the Achilles.

Don't know if he's even remotely an option, just throwing it out there.

 

[Hoges64]

And you would know this how, exactly?

You really should spend more time talking to your clients than posting here, as you're clearly agent to about 60 players.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Why can't Webb get a game despite you guys having so many injuries?

 

[Dav1d]

Why can't Webb get a game despite you guys having so many injuries?

He struggles to get the ball at AFL, lacks a bit when it comes to the defensive side of his game. Hasn't had the most opportunities though, so make of that what you will.

 

[Old Campaigner]

cheers

 

[ScragCity]

Its crap st kilds dont want Lever

Nah, they want Roberts

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

What do you think of Darcy Lang from the Cats as a small forward/mid? Picked up at pick 16 in the Boyd/Bont draft and will be out of contract at end of the season. I don't think he will be a superstar but i also don't think he has had a great run at it so far. I don't think he would cost too much in terms of trade or contract.

I like him. Rarely misses a target and has pace. Likely to keep improving given opportunities.

Has never given any indication that he would be any good at the top level. Achilles or not.

Guess I'm not as hard a marker as you then.. :-D

Thought he showed enough. Fair enough.

I dunno my girlfriend is a crazy sainter so I've seen a bit of him at VFL and VFL ressies...there are very few saints I'm less excited about.

A) What the hell are you doing? Convert that girl!!!!

B) I'll certainly go with your judgement then. My desire for a mobile tall defender must be clouding my memory.

A) Its a lost cause.

B) I dont actually think he would even be considered mobile if he played at AFL level. Especially now after the injury.

Really good spot. A real moneyball pickup, has great talent and his combination of ball-winning and speed would be great to inject into the team.

 

[hutchy31]

I must be watching a different Darcy Lang, because I've never been convinced.

But then again I told anyone who would listen that Suckling would be a great player for the dogs. Shows what I know.

 

[Super Hans]

Would anyone be talking about Lang if he wasn't a first round pick? He's awful.

 

[Smiley Boy]

Lang is no good. Christian Howard was a first round pick too.

 

[fronkalicious]

We need a legit crumbing small forward, more so than Lang. Must be one out there somewhere.
