The Moving-Rolling Delisting/Retiring/Trading Thread 2017

Thanks mate.

What's he like around the ground? Good overhead?

Stefan Martin?

[The Doctor]

if we got Martin for Crameri (in effect) I wouldn't be able to sign that quick enough. I would even give them flowers.

According to Dodoro...and yes I suppose you can take it with a grain of salt....he thinks there will be more trades done with contracted players this trade period than uncontracted players.

Stefan Martin?

Yep, does he get to lots of contests, is he good overheard?. I haven't given Melbourne or Brisbane much of a look since he started playing.

SEN have sort of floated a 3 team trade between Brisbane, Collingwood and us (Martin, Cox and Crameri) so even if we lose Crameri it might not open up another spot. Early days I know but I could see the likes Crameri, Redpath and even Hamilton potentially being part of trades rather than just pure delistings

It might be that we have just 4 spots at the draft table.

I'd prefer to see Redders & Hamilton in pick upgrades, if they have interest and if possible. So leaving some spots open, with fractionally better picks.

Another theory goes, go hard like Hawthorn last year and get a late pick and upgrades rookies to get to 3 picks. Put 9, 27 & 40 on the market. Trade players we don't want to commit to or who don't want to commit to us. Attack free agency, or what's left in the pool. Then bring in 3 or 4 ready made players.

[Twodogs]

Are there any FAs left that is worth a slash and burn policy?

I think we will free some spots up on our list but may go for already contracted players. I just hope we don't throw the baby out with the bath water though.

Off the top of my head, Rockliff who I'd really, really like. Then Trengrove we've been linked to us.

He's a durable and mobile player. Certainly gets to contests, reasonable mark and would help midfielders a bit

Really depends on the price but if Martin comes cheap, I think he's a good get. Roughead is one of the poorer first rucks in the comp, simply because of how little time he spends in there. Martin has proved he can go in there and ruck for 85% of the game.

Dodo is now my favourite entertainer at this time of year.

Rumour is Hopper has re-signed with the giants. Does that mean Kelly is gone?

Can we have both please?

He sounds like just what we need. A ruckman who can help our mids at a lot of contests around the ground. The number of contests that opposition ruckmen had to themselves this year because our guy was 45 metres away was ridiculous. That was my no. 1 beef with our ruck set up this year.

Ever since Sinatra passed!

Don't go floating that Martin for Crameri stuff if it isn't true. It's not fair or right of you guys to do so to me.

Webb and Redpath officially announced for 2 more years.
Morris signed on for one more year.
