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

Missing out on Peatling is not really big deal. We don’t HAVE to get someone just for the sake of it. O’Halloran as well - no big issue. Think some need to find other things about our footy club to be worried about rather than whether or not we get a shiny new toy just for the sake of it.

It’s the “just for the sake of it” trades that end up burning you.

I occasionally invoke our epic 2003 trade haul of Koops, Street, Morgan, Veale and Rawlings as a reminder.

For the princely sum of the Nathan Brown compensation and our second and third round picks in a spoon year.

 

[Doggy]

Surprised how many seem to think the improvement we need is going to come from within.

We have bugger all speed and our tackling at times is abysmal

 

[Munnez]

An immediate upgrade on Vandermeer and McNeil would be nice though. O'Halloran would achieve that.

Can't see GWS letting him go while in contract with what they look like having go out the door this trade period

This should carry a trigger warning.

Oliver to Geelong absolutely opens up the avenue to being more flexible to trade something to us.

God knows how it's all fitting in the salary cap. Bowes was meant to take up their "cap room" (hence why they got pick 7 for him). Then Holmes they kept as a million dollar player. Smith's just short of another million. And Melbourne wouldn't be moving on Oliver if they were still paying any more than half his salary, which means that Geelong will still be paying 600k or so for him.

I’ve stopped trying to understand the Bowes deal. Absolutely ludicrous that deal was ticked off on, and that would have been true no matter which club he chose, even if that was us. Surely we’ll never see a deal like that again

His contract was re-negotiated when he was traded, so the 1.5-1.6m over two years from the Gold Coast was “smoothed out” to 2.2m over four years at the Cats

 

[Thunderoad]

According to Tony Martin's Sizzletown podcast we've recruited someone by the name of Credenza.

Big unit apparently.

 

[Struggle]

The reliability of our information on this board has really slipped since McCraeBF stopped leaking the good stuff

 

[CarnTheScray]

Good contact of mine telling me just then Peatling was at the club Thursday. Looks like he will probably be with us next year. Something would have to go pear shaped for it to fall through

If he is a big enough fish to warrant news about him getting 40 likes than I worry for our collective wellbeing this offseason.

 

[Bald]

Didn't I get shouted down when I said we would miss out again

I guess next time ... maybe we can get Clohesy

No you didn’t.

 

[Redders98]

Really wish the club would pursue Houston again. Sounds like he doesn’t want to go to norf (who could blame him)

I know he’d cost a fair bit but he’d have such an instant positive impact, plus I imagine we have the cap space quite easily now.

I just wonder if we really are setting up for an all in assault on Butters next off season?

 

[Doggy]

No you didn’t.

Lol, you called it negativity...

 

[gangsta deluxe]

I have the strong feeling we will try to maximise our draft hand with the assets we have and won’t look for any established players.

 

[Bald]

Lol, you called it negativity...

When?

Perhaps the exits of Hawkins, Tuohy and Rohan will go some way to magically free up their salary cap so that they can recruit whoever they wish.

Sorry about that.

Pick 19 which we gave to Freo was David Mundy.

 

[adogsfan5]

I have the strong feeling we will try to maximise our draft hand with the assets we have and won’t look for any established players.

Which is still OK by me. Then get games into Buss, Sanders and Freijah.

 

[adogsfan5]

Balance at either end of the ground is also big for me this off season. Not sure Naughton, Marra and Darcy works anymore as a trio.

 

[geoffjennings79]

He used to have regular catch ups with Bevo too at one point... or so he claimed.

Is McCraeBF... Mrs Bevo?!

 

[PocketRocket08]

CCP surely

what position? Because previous yrs we had him fwd and back and he was hardly sighted. He won’t be playing midfield at afl level.

You need to be blocked from using the word Koops

I’m sorry.

Shiel to GWS would open that avenue up, and it’s definitely on the cards.

 

[go the dogs]

Naughtonn JUH Darcy come 11ty 12th and 13th. 1 should be top 3 the others should be top 8 next year. Plenty of room for improvement. Ed full pre season on ball another pre season for sanders and a pre season down back into lobb.

 

[dergert]

Geelong are giving a future first for Oliver. Kiss goodbye the 2 first round selections for Sniff pipedream

As in Dylan Shiel BACK to GWS?
