List Mgmt. Trade & Draft UltraThread- Warning, May Contain Speculation #combinethethreads

Smith has looked cooked this year, his best days are behind him.

Jetta's younger than Smith

No he's not. In any event I suspect that Jetta is closer to retirement given his persistent calf issues.
Smith on the other hand is an ironman in terms of staying fit - he has played 22+ games every year since his second season.

Yeah....he is.
Last time I looked people born in 1988 are older than people born in 1989, but maybe my maths is off

 

[Obeanie1]

I don't hate it. If we make salary cap space available and intend to compete for the flag then we may as well use the money (provided it's on short term contracts that don't compromise our ability to re-sign our players).
If Jetta were to retire, Smith would be an excellent replacement on half back. Otherwise, he'd be good on a wing in place of Masten/Hutchings.
Given the similarities in playing styles between us and Hawthorn, he'd probably fit in well and quickly.

Watson is our Jetta replacement. Will be primed and ready in 2020.

And would cost half the $$$.

Definitely off. I don't subscribe to your Gregorian propaganda.

You are correct - they're both 30 and Jetta is 5 months younger. Doesn't change my point though - I think Smith is much more likely to outlast Jetta than the other way around.

Maybe but I'm not a fan of bringing in over 30's and I'd rather go for someone a bit younger, I like the Brad Hill idea someone posted, reckon he would be an absolute gun in our side.

doubt smith would even come across here.

only one club attracts twilight players from other states here and it aint us.

Mitchell, Petrie....

 

[Hap Hapablap]

Mitchell, Petrie....

mitchell i think was still had it in him

petrie was picked up as a nick nat replacement

 

[kane249]

They both played a year and then retired, hard to argue that's not twilight

 

[Scotland]

Petrie is still playing. Chance for a re-rookie.

 

[hungrytiger]

Watson is primed for Jetta replacement. Can see Nelson going as part of a trade. Watson starts round 1 next season in for Nelson.

 

[kane249]

Watson is going to be 25 next year, he might not be on the list come the end of this season.

 

[LittleGreekGod]

Two years ago he was the out and out best wingman in the comp.
Today not so much

 

[LittleGreekGod]

Watson is going to be 25 next year, he might not be on the list come the end of this season.

Looking at the list of contracted players it is sure going to be difficult to cut three players from our main list.
Murtimer is the obvious one but ironically he is having his best season of football since he was recruited.
Nelson has found a new lease of life.
Watson improves every year.
Ah Chee is still a handy back up.
Hamish Bradshaw needs an extra year
Matt’s Allen could be in the gun or maybe a shock delisting is on the cards.
Our cross town town rivals on the other hand have no such problem with a minimum of six players from their main list almost certain to go.

Its a good problem to have.

How many rookies can we delist and then move some seniors onto the rookie list.

Watson will stay, if he doesnt Freo will snap him up and he will play round 1.

Three of Murtimer, M Alen, Ah chee or Nelson plus McInness and another 1-2 rookies will be turned over. Bines and or Riach but Cat B rookies arent a issue.

And potentially a fringe player involvrd in a trade or Brander.

Dare I say it but Masten could retire.

 

[eagles rule]

Reckon we might have a crack at I Smith as a free agent if the Kelly / Coniglio trades fail .
Smith would be handy on the wing , dont ctiticise me I know it wont happen but he would know Simmo well and he seemed real friendly after the Hawks game with JK and co .
Just the Kelly trade is too much we need other options while we're in contention .

I Wonder what McCluggage at Brissy would cost ??

[kerr87]

Masten still required for another year IMO.

 

[kerr87]

We need quality mids. Drafting them has been a struggle for the last 5-7 years. Trade them in, even if it means giving up 2 firsts. Every year people over value draft picks.

Get Kelly or Coniglio or both.

We're in a strong Premiership window.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Tim Kelly to his Manager: don't you F**** dare even associate my name with Cockburn otherwise I'm sacking you.

Plenty
If the Media / Geelong reckon Kelly is worth two first round picks as a starting point I wonder what Yeo , Shuey type players would be worth .

He'd be pretty much untradeable

Agreed. Rookie spot if we need to open up another main list position.

I would think about Lewis Taylor for some midfield depth. Not getting as many games.

Him and Acres, prefer Acres.

Thats presuming we dont get either Kelly or Conligio
