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

With all of these players recommitting to the club it must be seen as an endorsement of the coach.

 

[JohnnySteel]

I really like Travaglia. One of my favourites, though he’ll be out of our range.

Agreed, he is the one I want the most. Giving Richards / Day vibes. Will be a really good half back but will probably transition into the midfield.

Hoping we can trade back in.

Yes, I have been told Garcia has signed on for 2 more years.

Great news. Geelong facilities must not of been that good

On to the real question now, who are we trading out this week? Bont? Treloar? Astro? JUH?

I hear Libba toured a pub in Perth so I think he might want to move to WA.

Geez we’ve got a really solid contingent of WA boys on the list with Johannisen, Lobb, English, Naughton, Garcia, Jones and Busslinger. Three of those boys we took in the first round. I reckon the pull to go home gets massively overstated due to the odd big name.

I wonder what the ratio of WA players asking to be traded home is to total WA origin players in the comp?

Kelly and Jackson recent examples, Lobb when he went from GSW to Freo. Others for different reasons - Kennedy in the Judd trade even though he wanted to stay in Vic, Hamling had an ill father. (Mitch Clark wanted to go back to Perth, then suddenly realised Bellarine was his spiritual home! $$$$)

Sam Draper said players are leaving if Bevo stays and neutrals supporters said he was right. So it must be a matter of time players leave.

The name I keep hearing linked to the dogs in the draft is Moraes. I've had multiple people tell me he is a primary target.
This is interesting to the trade and list management thread because he is deffinetly going in the top 15 and potentially even earlier. Must mean a play for an early pick is absolutely on the cards.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Maybe we just expect to more than likely lose Smith, therefore have a first.

I don't know if Smith himself nets us a pick high enough, Geelongs pick is likely to fall in the late teens.

Smith is absolutely gone

Well they’ll just have to do some shopping around to find us an acceptable pick. We shouldn’t feel sorry for them and hand him over for less than he’s worth.

It's too early to make assumptions on that pick. The Cats are one game and a bit of % from the 10th pick.

 

[JohnnySteel]

Would love a Moraes / Travaglia combo somehow. Both can play other positions before a midfield opportunity presents.

I like Moraes as a hard running speedy wingman, perhaps that’s why we are so keen as well.

I wonder if Lobbs form has changed our mind on Barrass?

I think that Barrass is using our interest to get what he wants from WC which he will in the end. Can’t see him actually leaving.

It'd definitely be one or the other given how well Travaglia has done during the champs, he has definitely climbed up the rankings but I agree the combo would be perfect and completely changes the make up of our squad.

If English and Smith leave...

If English and Smith leave...

If that were the case which I think is highly unlikely I'm sure the club would want to put atleast one of the early picks into bringing in a mature player, they would be very hesitant to get too young.

Apparently wet toast is still going for English and seems Smith is out the door

I haven't seen or heard anything credible to suggest English will leave.

Englishes' contract is a long way down the road now, he'll be staying. Both parties have agreed to terms, now it's the little shit being nutted out.

But Smith is gone?

That's at least one first rounder

 

[bobs head soup]

I wonder if Lobbs form has changed our mind on Barrass?

Not just Lobb either. With Buss re-signing and Lobb and Khamis looking good down back, the need for further kpd talent seems much less urgent than it did 3 weeks ago.

Best 3 of Jones, Lobb, JOD, Khamis, Coffield, Gardner, Busslinger, Croft looking like a workable unit for mine.

I hadn't heard anything had been agreed to but have also heard conversations had progressed to a point where it was close.
