Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 7 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

[Dog 36]

So your solution is that the AFL should introduce more rounds so players play more games to fix fatigue?

Not a solution and mute argument as AFL
won’t do it or even consider it

I am an advocate each team plays each other twice.

So as to minimise player fatigue you cap the games each player can play in a season.

Increase your lists and have coaches manage their lists better and be tactically better in picking sides to play games by relying on a squad rather than best 22.

As a follower of EPL there are some big games played such as cup ties where best players are left out because of scheduling etc but managers plan game style and opposition to fit with the players playing that game.

The integrity of the AFL is lost when they decide the draw.

Hypothetically, if you lift list sizes by the same percentage of increased games you are adding, the number of players on each list would be 62. Which is +18 per club, if you pair that increase up with the 62 that Tasmania will need in a few years under this system, then you really start to get a grasp on why this could never happen.

Even if they added just an extra 10 to each list, you've got to find 230 odd players.

It won’t happen and you don’t need to increase lists proportionally

What we have now is a manufactured draw that is so compromised but it is what it is

Edmund says SDK is absolutely not going anywhere.

What a surprise.

Geelong: everyone wants to come to us for "unders"

Also Geelong: noone is allowed to leave even if we won't play them and if they are spuds we will still demand first rounders (Ratugolea)

 

[CarnTheScray]

Edmund says SDK is absolutely not going anywhere.

Once his new Ford arrived yesterday, he was always going to stay.

Sure it wasn't a new house?

 

[Freshwater]

To buy or sell or swap anything it has to be of equal value. Geelong must pay what Smith is worth, he is a number 7 draft pick about to enter his prime years. That is not worth pick 15 (which won’t even be 15 by the time of draft). I would be requesting a player of EQUAL value.

 

[Scottish Bob]

Not sure it’s worth anything but I’ve heard Daniel is staying, very loose source but we would want an early 2nd for him at the least and would not pay any salary if he left.

Not heard anything in regards to Garcia

 

[BeMoreBont]

The Gaints about to get a better compensation pick (band 1) for Perryman than we will get for Smith. Laughable.

Battle and Perryman compo to push Geelongs first rounder back even more.

 

[dergert]

Giants have upped offer for Peatling.

 

[Mofra]

How would people recommend we address our midfield issues if SDK ends up being involved in a Smith trade?

I'm a big fan of his, I just don't know that it's the best use of our assets.

Take Urquhart late and win the race for Peatling.
Then hit the draft next year.

One of these things won't happen

 

[BallaratBulldog]

 

[WAbulldog]

I’d say he will stay now that the Giants up the years in the contracts.

 

[Golden_6]

I’d say he will stay now.

Not to mention he's a Sydney but and came through the GWS academy. I don't see any reason for him to leave at all.

 

[Angak]

Glad SDK is staying.

We don't need another key position player. Let's move players around i.e Naughton or develop our young stocks like Buss & Croft.

We need quality midfielders & elite high half forwards.

 

[F6Typhoon]

Poulter looks better at Afl level than vfl level. Some players just do.

Watching a few of the VFL games this year I’d go as far as suggesting VFL appears to be umpired totally differently to AFL.. Especially their HTB interpretation?
Transition from multiple AFL games back to VFL probably isn’t a great indicator of how a players going?
Agree Poulter was “ordinary” in that VFL final though…

But the media line is that we should shut the hell up, accept a pick in the 20s and go away and if Geelong trade that pick away and we have to accept another crappy pick then tough luck.

Saints have 7 & 8 on table for juh, if they get 8.

 

[geoffjennings79]

I just love this time of year... especially on here.

If only this week and the actual trade period could be condensed... into about 72 hours in total! (Given clubs, managers and players have had preliminary discussions and most know the lie of the land weeks (or months) beforehand, as we all know this is just more AFL desperation to remain relevant during a down-time, because they want to dominate the news cycle all year round.)

How’s the peatling trade looking ?

 

[cleveland]

Haven't heard anything else tbh

 

[Doggy]

Probably stay or go to Adelaide. Maybe Collingwood

 

[iambrilliant]

Haven't heard anything else tbh

Still have him a lock to get to the kennel ?

 

[Doggy]

Why would they want him? They have King, Marshall will play forward a fair bit, Sherman etc

They have enough
