Mega Thread Trade/Draft/Delist SuperMegaUltrathread - 2016/17 offseason edition

[RookiePick]

Only by jealous Freagles xD

 

[Dark Sharks]

Heard Sam Pepper Powell plays a bit like dustin Martin.

Is he a player we'd look at drafting? Also, Tom Campbell has signed on for 2 years.

This is just Bullshit no team would let a player fly to NZ every week....

That is not something a club could accept as the norm.

And if they do they aren't a professional club and are letting the player be bigger than the club........

Just stupid !!!

Richmond does grant him leave to keep him happy

Any club Martin goes to would have to do the same.

He plays for Richmond...

Minson

Get rowdy Dark Sharks

 

[Eaglespur]

If Emac can't crack the 22 he needs to be moved on purely to free that space up.

People say how could we come close to the cap but when you consider our marquee player NN is on around 800k and add in guys like JK, Lecras, Gov, Shuey, Priddis, Gaff, Emac, Wellingham, Hurn, Lycett etc that would all be on a bit you get to the 10.5 million pretty quick. Hogan is going to cost a fortune so we would need to make room.

Do we need to make the room ? Is he a required player?

 

[avishka5]

I wouldnt say their midfield is average

Gray
Ebert
Boak
Wines
Hartlett
Polec

midfield isn't the only position he plays. plays through a fwd flank most of the time anyway.

I think if you read my original post, I was suggesting that we keep rolling through such players until we find a good one. One or two list spots dedicated to finding the diamond in the rough is not any different from taking a fourth round pick. We just need to rotate through them more quickly. It is hardly suggesting get in a group of list cloggers.

But I know it is not the big footy way.

1. Trade in superstar. Doesn't happen, bitch at club for not being proactive.
2. Trade in young Josh Kennedy for next to nothing. Player doesn't demonstrate super stardom first game. Lament throwing away a middle order pick, bitch at club
3. Draft young fella. Same description as item 2 until such player comes good then proclaim you always believed.
4. Meltdown, just because.

yeah i get but i prefer these guys to come from teams playing well and the opportunities for spots are very scarce. I also like prefer guys who have had a few seasons dominating at the lower level and a creaming at the chance of getting picked up.

Steele was one i was craving for but he nominated the saints.

would prefer us taking a punt on guys like liam ryan or michael gibbons in the draft and darcy cameron and jye bolton in the rookie draft.

We need the cap space by the sounds of it

Heard he can't kick for shit.

So nothing like Martin the all Australian.

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

You're underestimating Treloar
Still coming to terms with the fact that WB gave Griffin & pick 6 for Boyd..

pick 6 was unders for the previous years pick 1 . Throwing in Griffen who had just lead a mutiny against the coach and held the club at ransom was what needed to be done . No one player is bigger than a club even if it is the captain .
He was a cancer that needed to be cut out .

What ?
Martin broke the all time clanger record this year !

 

[kerrazy]

Id rather us put all our eggs into the 'lets trade for a Josh p Kennedy type from another team even though there is a greater chance I'll bang emily ratajowski' basket

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

We would be batshit crazy to pick him up. He is done.

Yep we should be throwing that pick at the next ballantyne who has 10 years ahead of him .
Ballentyne is the type you pick up as a free agent not use a pick

 

[avishka5]

why does ballentyne get a free pass for his form of late from the media but lecras who is one year older gets all the criticism. Lecras has out performed ballentyne in the last 2 seasons and even in a pretty average season, he has kicked more goals and made more contribution down field than ballentyne.

 

[La Dolce Vita]

Ballas confirms he wants to join a real club. Just brave enough to admit what every freo player knows deep down he is no chance to play in a premiership with the purples..

Won't be long till Fyfe bails as well

 

[Truckosaurus]

I'm trying very hard not to think about how much we offered Redden to lure him over so he could play for East Perth.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Lobb could play FF freeing up Jk to play CHF where he would basically be a big roaming midfielder/forward

Kennedy just needs to play FF . It's his best position and it will help him have longevity

 

[WCE1698]

If Pearce Hanley is on the trade table for Brisbane we should be all over him.

 

[WCErevival]

If Pearce Hanley is on the trade table for Brisbane we should be all over him.

I think we should avoid getting anyone else from Brisbane. He's not that great anyway

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

he had 2 surgeries at the start of the preseason. One is a hernia and thats pretty serious one that meant he missed nearly all of preseason. He was rushed back IMO and should have had an extended preseason and played a couple months of wafl before he returned to the seniors.

Redden said that his game is based on endurance and strength .
No preseason = No endurance
Hernia op = no strength
he also had a shoulder injury

 

[matt_bas]

It's funny that everyone on this board is stating our midfielders need speed! Did you all forget what happens the last time one of our midfielders took speed!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Redden said that his game is based on endurance and strength .

That's not good enough for me. He was selected, so he was deemed fit and should have performed much better than he did.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

As mentioned earlier, if you're just going to post non-constructive negative whining you can do that elsewhere. Maybe Facebook?

does that go for everyone of just people who aren't ex mods
