List Mgmt. Trade & Free Agency talk Pt 6

[tigers12]

Geelong has been 10/10 for the last five years.

They have consistently been the best traders especially with Gold Coast.

Why are they so special??

The afl and shocking have been giving them a leg up for years the afl can’t afford for Geelong to be down the bottom otherwise shitty litter park will become a drug infested ghetto even though it already is but it would be way worse

 

[Hoos]

Grundy, Rankine and Jackson are well ahead

Well ahead of what?

 

[THECHIEFTON]

FA agency is not stealing and I thought there best player was Ablett Jnr if not Touk Miller

FA is basically stealing. Wasn't Lynch their captain and key forward. At the time he was their most important player I rekon.

 

[Yappie dribbles]

I love you all ....we smashed this trade period

Despite what the gellong supporters here say

Go tiges

 

[tigers12]

SEN all over geeflog saying they won the trade period do they realise they picked up 3 players who were playing 2s football for their respective clubs and pick 7 is a great unknown

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

I watched the highlights after he was compared to Dusty and I have to admit he does move like him and looks like a bloody good kick...will definitely be a jet.

He has a lot of similar traits as Dusty particularly his use of strength and the don’t argue which allows him to sell the candy , as such , so often and which has some excited and others not so .
The ???’s are the reliance on shear strength / the don’t argue and can that be such a big of weapon against grown men. I think his ability to leap and take the ball in the air is going to be the biggest watch this next year .

next season needs to become the tagger that we need for the likes of Neale cripps Oliver etc while we leave the bullocking work to tarranto and hopper

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

I agree we refreshed very well last year and while the future looks good for all of them I think they may prove to be a year or two behind the Cats in development

Who do the cats have that has them ahead of us?
You know they have the oldest best 22 in the comp?
I mean De Koning will be a star but we have Balta.
Who else do they have that makes you say they are ahead?

Sitting down and looking at both lists in the cold hard light of day I agree that my somewhat biased view is that our list looks to have more upside than the Cats but they are refreshing very well and their recent team building history tells me they will continue to prove the doubters wrong and be a major threat going forward. I believe premierships in the next few years will be much more difficult to obtain with the likes of Brisbane, Sydney, Port, Carlton and Gold Coast all looking the goods going forward

Geelong who has long been know for being soft , replaced Selwood who like him or hate him was their hardest player for a loooong time with Bowes , Henry and Bruhn , all soft ***** .


Trade period and recruiting is about making your list better which means addressing any issues within your list .

 

[Growapair]

Tom Brown who we drafted last year is going to end up being the replacement for Vlastuin

Won't he make a request to be traded to Geelong at the end of next season like Henry?

Draft is completely compromised, may as well not draft anyone that has the Geelong smell on them

Dermie also said geelongs trade with Gold Coast was dodgy as well

 

[59Stanley]

Glad we didn’t chase Harmes as was suggested during trade period

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Won't he make a request to be traded back to Geelong at the end of next season like Henry?

He isn’t from Geelong albeit his father played there .

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Grundy, Rankine and Jackson are well ahead

Àgree..

 

[fargothegreat]

Glad we didn’t chase Harmes as was suggested during trade period

I think if we had have only secured one of Taranto/Hopper, he may have been on our shopping list.

You can tell by the way he plays he would fit in nicely at Richmond.

 

[fargothegreat]

Interesting to hear Blair say yesterday that they planned from way out that they wouldn't have a pick in the first round of this year's draft, such was the confidence they had in landing an elite mid from another club.

 

[fargothegreat]

Knowing we target players years in advance, what do we all think our plan will be next year?

My guess is we'll go after a B grade key forward, but otherwise be pretty quiet.

Thanks for clearing that up Einstein lol

 

[3rdManUp]

Lmao. Those are the sort of trade draft scraps that would have excited us in 2015.
Later losers

 

[Barunga Bullet]

looking at the list of free agents for next year, i Only see 4 key forwards on there and only two I would go after and thats Hipwood or Harry Himmelberg.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Thanks

You're welcome.

Hipwood is a local, but I could see Himmelberg being a chance if we were interested given he's now got two ex team mates to tell him how great Tigerland is

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Everyone needs to remember the Pies are 1 Darcy Cameron injury away from Cox being their #1 ruck.

Pies have injuries don't they?
