Strategy Trade and List management Thread Part 6 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

Rayner’s last 6 week has been like Petracca. Unreal. But the years before that not so much…

 

[Northernsoul74]

I have no idea why this should be. We are an awesome club, and all of the others are pathetic. This is an unbiased and axiomatic truth.

It’s a catchy slogan, and just might stick.

 

[doggiesin08]

I've been hearing this out of the club since his draft year.
We asked for him in the Dunkley trade.
Doesn't surprise me if we throw the kitchen sink at him.

So do we trade away our first rounder to get points for Cooney and West, offer Brisbane unders and then haggle over future third rounders?

Edit: didn’t realise that he was a RFA. We can save our picks for Butters and Callaghan then.

That’s the blueprint.

Isn't the point we wait until next year when he is free agent - so it's just the salary?

Brisbane likely to match and force a trade anyway I would have thought

I can't believe you're shocked. Much like the Essendon interest before them.

 

[HK_Bulldog]

If he didn’t come as part of the Dunkley trade, it’ll be unlikely he’ll come next year. Could be the next Stef Martin and he finally joins at 38

 

[DogDays]

Harmes wasn't let go, he was pushed out. Goodwin, Gawn and the leadership group decided that he was not a good bloke due to an off field matter, and off he went.

I find that hard to believe knowing Harmesy… don’t believe all the gossip

You would think the AFL will need to approve Thomas return to the game

If we somehow get to screw Brisbane over, as well, that would be a bonus.

He will actually need to attend some of the courses they've set out for him as a starting point.

 

[mattwa]

Why aren't we attractive for Rayner? Tigs are cooked. Pies are due a rebuild. Blues caps full. Saints are crap. North don't need him. Essendon are garbage too.

Gets fit and he’s a weapon.

People forget footy is a job for pro players. If someone offers him way overs on a contract, he will take it. Whilst our cap may be in a good spot, it is not a war chest in space. We won't be winning high end bidding wars. He will consider us if money isn't the number one thing on his mind.

Also skeptical on his form. Been so and so most of his career, hit a hot patch the this season. Will is sustain? Or will it be an outlier?

 

[Dog 36]

Stringer vibes.

Would want Rayner to be much more consistent seems to pick and choose when to play way too often

 

[_Cerberus_]

Would love him personally. But gee he cannot seem to stay on the park. Throw him in with Weightman and West, and we won't have to worry about small and mid sized forwards for the next 4-5 years

 

[dergert]

Going to be another boring, uneventful off season for us. Likely for the competition imo

Lazy and applies 0 pressure. His type of player is unfortunately not the way the games is trending with team defense, pressure and system. Wouldn't even take him for free

 

[Golden_6]

I think our priority should be on keeping our list together and developing within IMO. We can target low cost players for specific roles with ease given we have the key roles filled with stars already.

From a medium term perspective, we need to prepare for the retirements of Libba, Treloar & Jones. We potentially already have the players on the list with Sanders, Smith (?), Buss & JOD. The rest of our list is fairly young.

 

[Dogsman16]

Would we target a young Essendon mid to bring in Tsitas, Hobbs.

Should be ready to go compared to a first year mid.

We need small pressure forwards not another marking small like Weightman.

We aren't one of the clubs linked. Power and Essendon the destinations if he leaves.

Tsatas' kicking is flawed at a base fundamental level, and an extractor who can only effectively handball isn't great for us.

Daniel Cross made a career out of it. But yeah…no need in the modern day
