List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2017/2018 - Refreshed (cont in part 2)

I feel like finding Dunn types are the exception not the rule

Yes...we tried Frost, Golds, Schade...then Dunn

 

[BPikkers]

That’s true too.

Tough business which ever way you go.

Mihocek was a good find.

 

[Alexander323bc]

My 2 cents worth. If you are winning it in the middle and keep scoring goals you don’t need defenders.

Except you don't always win it in the middle.

Is this years VFL option Sam Collins? I think he had a stint at Freo also so has some afl games experience. Hungry for a second chance?

Rookie spot for sure.

Win it enough in the middle and the forwards go off song though - a prime example of this was the '90GF. Dons had a vastly superior forward line and should have thrashed our backs but their mids simply couldn't get clear enough to give them the opportunities they needed.

Contract...just sorting a few things out, not too far apart

How accurate is your mail? TBH this is as big a news as Lynch picking us if true.

Yeah you're just guessing...

Will Kelly looking really good for Chargers against Oakleigh today apparently.

Saw 2nd Half of Game and he Looked okay.

My point was you don’t sell the farm for a defender. You may consider it for a forward who can convert midfield dominance

Best teams do.

aka Alex Rance.

They drafted Rance. Not sure how that is selling the farm?

It's not common but why shouldn't it be? Key defence is actually a really tough position to fill. Especially with a well rounded player. One that attacks and defends. For example, we set up so much play through Dunns field kicking. But I can't see many who can replicate that play running around who also stops their opponent. May is probably the only one; and interestingly Reid in his prime (does he still have that depgh of kicking?). I reckon May would be an excellent addition even accounting for his potential cost.

Nope. Only 1 was done by giantroo from the Vic Metro vs Vic Country game at the G

Moore is a Lovely Field Kick

Moore is a Lovely Field Kick

He is. We actually have a few good options at key back in that regard. With Dunn out all of Moore, Reid and Mihocek are pretty handy with ball in hand. All have depth in their kicking.

 

[Bored_Pie]

...

They signed him to a 4 year deal worth 600-700k a season in 2013

He'll be on an list at seasons end.

The discussion was around "selling the farm" for a defender. Which I take to mean the cost not only in wages but the trade cost to secure their services. Richmond didn't trade for Rance, they recruited him, so they have hardly sold the farm. And 6-700k for one of your top 3 players also is not selling the farm. I think you've used a poor example to back up your point; which I otherwise tend to agree with.

Doesn't matter if they trading for him or drafted for him, they sold a fair bit of salary cap for him.

 

[MooreTreloar]

Will Collins last to the rookie draft? May go late in the national draft.

Spending money to keep a player doesn’t count. If I have to explain it then this conversation is over.
