Mega Thread Trade/Draft SuperMegaUltraThread - 2015 trade period edition

How tall is he?

195cm
Tall enough to ruck 20-30% of the game (depending on Naitanui's fitness)

I hope you're right about Karps. In the few games I saw him play this year his kicking looked to be elite, just needed to find the ball a bit more.

For a supposedly elite kick he missed a heap of easy shots on goal.

Tippet is a bit fragile to be playing full time ruck I would have thought. I can see them sharing the ruck, but I think Sinclair will start in the middle.

He's done it before. However, I'd anticipate a 60/40 split or thereabouts. Tippet was fantastic for Sydney this year in the ruck. Played his best footy since defecting there.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Sinclair just on 6pr. Doesn't sound happy to be leaving at all, diplomatic but not happy.

Shouldn't have continually let us down with his kicking on goal.

 

[boondy]

I thought the general consensus was he is Darcy tucker

Nuh . I think he threw a red herring about being a skinny lanky ruckman i believe the Steve Hucka poster to be Lovell who is a tassie player but small . Andy Lovell coached the all stars , possibly his dad , he knew about all players cos his dad had videos etc on all players . Andy lovell now an assistant at Gold Coast

Be interesting to see how much time he played there this year, he seemed to get a fair few hit outs this year, but also scored 2 goals a game so he must have spent a fair bit of time forward as well

McGovern has been on record saying he sees himself as a forward and resting ruckman

When he get his podgy ass toned and arms chiseled and a legitimate preseason perhaps Simmo will consider it. ..

Kicked a few of those from stoppages he rucked. Had a great year.

So to our skilful negotiators who believe we have bent over and left too much on the table. St Kilda have played hardball on Carlisle and now the Hawks are knocking on the door to get him to Arctic Park. Bring in competition and the risk comes to play.

We got Redden on day 1. We got Jetta on day 4.
We have hit our two targets - tick well done.
We did it without going to an auction and not pay overs - tick well done.
We are now able to manage some minor components like Rosa and Colledge. We have less at stake with less to lose. May be well placed to get higher value.

So you bring up 2 examples of clubs playing hardball and losing out on players, I bet there have been plenty of times where teams have played hardball and still got their man.
As a skilled multi-national corporation negotiation trainer yourself, can you explain the mindset behind say no to a deal on the first day and wanting more out of it, and then accepting that same deal 2 days later on day 3 (not 4) of the trade period?

Life changing decision based on money in a short space of time . Lots of good mates he is leaving behind , I remember that cuddle he gave Nic after his 1st game back after mum died .

Think that was the QF wasn't it?

I always saw him as the Q lynch replacement but they took ages to elevate him off rookie list

qf was the 2nd game back , Nick was still sad then too

Probably still going to be sad about it...

 

[new breed]

WCE wouldn't extend his contract past 2016 so he left , not really for the money but the money will help .

Sinclair interview here. You get the feeling that it kind of came out of the blue and he wasn't much of a fan of it.

And you'll whip it out?

 

[ZergMinion]

Giles would be the worst possible recruit. He couldn't get a game ahead of Shaun McKernan and Essendon chose to play NO ruckman instead of Giles when they played West Coast this year.

That's how well he's been going

I'm prepared to believe he thought he'd be number 1 ruck at Essendon this year after half the squad got suspended and got a bit disheartened when that didn't happen. As a backup to NicNat or Lycett he'd be fine. Decent forward too.

He'll also be anxious to prove a few people wrong. I don't believe for a second that how he was played this year was indicative of him overall.

 

[Godfather32]

McGovern has been on record saying he sees himself as a forward and resting ruckman

Wasn't it Simpson who said that? And it seemed like he was joking about it at the time as well.

 

[Godfather32]

I'd say he's probably reasonably happy to be doubling his salary and signing likely the biggest and longest contract he's going to get over his whole career

Again, Essendon went in thinking they were better off without a ruckman against NicNat this year rather than giving Giles a crack.

He's had three clubs now to prove people wrong.

Yeh, I only watched two games TBH, and it was his field kicking that stood out. Didn't see any shots on goal. I gather he has been groomed as a forward? Definitely wouldn't like another bloke that implodes in front of goals, which is still an issue for us to my mind.

 

[kranky al]

We should get 4 additional ruckman in the draft just in case 5 of them go down.

That would be hysterically funny if we hadnt just had a season where we had kpp go down like flies, nn and sinkers out, lycett playing with a cactus knee and mcgovern injured whilst playing ruck.

I mean beside all those things hilarious.

Didn't sound that geed up about it the old Sinkers
