List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2018/2019 - Part 2!

I was initially ok with the Roughead deal.
We have had some wins with these type of recruits. Dunn and Brown being the stand outs.
Then I read on here that he is injury prone.
This info has changed my tune. We have enough injury problems without bringing in more.

I remember when we signed Dunn everyone said he was cooked. Played about 3 games in the seniors that year. Everyone has been calling for a cheep Dunn like replacement defender that can be used to take the big key forwards. That is Jordan Roughead.

Also, even though Dunn had a very good year this year before he got injured there are no guarantees that he will get back to his best. He is 32, coming off a knee reco and was delisted by the Dees 2 years ago.

I like that we are getting someone as backup who has played the position before, cheep and will do a good role.

He wasn't delisted.

I’m just wondering if the Roughead deal is a lens into some stuff in background.

I actually see him as a defender and I think it suggests May ain’t coming. Gives them depth there and coverage in ruck.

It also might mean they go after Beams and have the cash to do it. The 18 and a future 2nd or a player would be enough. The fact Beams / his mgr have said little and that Picker is adamant he’s comin says to me Pies have switched to Beams and the lack of denials means something is brewing. Eddie wouldn’t want to have played a role in him being exposed and I reckon will be pushing for him to come back.

Yeah I reckon your spot on there Snoop.....we've now shifted our priority to Beams and bringing in Roughead gives us good depth down back and to be honest he has always been a better backman than ruck and for what he'll cost I think it's a smart move.....he could surprise us all like Dunn has!!

If we pick him up along with Beams I'd still like us to have a crack at Bruce and those 3 would make it a very handy trade period, addressing all 3 areas

The ones we bring in don’t miss to many games lately, it’s our drafted players that’s the worry.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Dunn will play round 1

Roughead can hold down the position until Dunn returns.

So were Crisp and Hoskin-Elliott.

 

[Apex36]

I might pay Shaz, but Goldsack? Slaughtered by Jack in the Prelim and I honestly can't recall him winning a contest against Kennedy in the GF. Indeed I'd say Goldys performance in the last 2 games of the year is a strong argument FOR recruiting a KPD...

Goldsack had a career best year in 2017 playing CHB. If you think 2 games against two of the best forwards in the game coming off an ACL should define what he can and can’t do you’re kidding yourself.

 

[Apex36]

So was Crisp, so was WHE.... no use sooking.

Crisp wasnt injury prone

 

[sr36]

Crisp wasnt injury prone

He was reserves prone though. We've cured that ailment.

 

[ThePhantom777]

I do think it points to us not getting May though.

Yeah I don't think May is going to happen this year.

 

[Old Spice]

He'd want to be cheap. Fourth round territory, but good for depth. Good character, let's see what he can bring at that price. Anything that scuppers Quaynor and Kelly needs to be avoided, and of course any pick combo that could land us May or Beams.

 

[jimmy35]

and People are Complaining about Dunn like we are now with Roughead and looked how that worked out

Spot on Dave. Roughy Jr is a freebie and I think he’ll surprise a few by this time next year.

 

[mike123]

What's the average number of "awesome" players per team?

You tell me

I dunno why.... I just have this gut feeling that we are going to overpay for Roughead and this board will go into meltdown!

 

[Hardas]

Yeah I think we would be. I don't think either is the right option as back-up. Acknowledging that Lynch is still developing.

Is Lynch really that far away (VFL watchers)?

If we can get May/Beams/1st round pick, Quaynor and Kelly, whatever comes after I don't care about.

I wouldn't want to pay much for him.

 

[CFC2010]

Is Lynch really that far away (VFL watchers)?

Improved as the year went on.

Next year is make or break I think.

 

[Old Spice]

Is Lynch really that far away (VFL watchers)?

Looked extremely vanilla every time I've seen him.

 

[Hardas]

I hope we get May but if we don’t can Roughead hold down full back until Dunn returns? I think that if we can release Darcy to CHB we will have an intercepting weapon in the same manner as McGovern.

I also want Moore across half back with Howe, rather than deep (with Goldy and Shaz as depth).
As for the 'gorilla'-type full back, that would leave Dunn/Roughead with McLarty and Madgen developing.

Future second for their future third?

Because we didn’t take him as a free agent for fear of our 57 going backwards, tells you it will be for way less than 57.

[Schraderbrau]

if we keep on recruiting injury prone defenders it increases odds that 2 of them will be uninjured at the pivotal time of the season. it's just like punting on the credit cards - keep on getting new ones until you win imo.

 

[Copeland]

Whats the time line of May coming back please?

The deal will be the same like Dunns was. Late pick.
