Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Would be happy with Ross, looks good enough if he can get his body right, O'Dwyer has good pace but doesn't kick it well and you could not trust him finding targets upfield. He also has a strange Jordan McMahon look about him!

Totally agree about O'Dwyer having a MacMahon look about him

We have worse players than Moles.

His year was decimated by injury - as a true running type, I'd give him another year as he hasn't played under the new rules that benefit gut-runners.

Valenti has been linked with GWS, looks certain to end up somewhere in the AFL next year.

I've seen Saad a few times and every time I have see him he as been really good.

For 3 draft picks you're one delisting short.

I assume you meant to include Reid there somewhere?

I would have thought that Reid, Addison and Josh Hill could all face being delisted. They have been around long enough without making the necessary improvement to rebuild the team. We are in need of a clean out to refresh the list with younger more talented recruits.
The three mentioned above could be possibilities for GWS although it would be debateable if they would entertain all three.

Does anyone know whether the player list numbers for clubs reduce by 2 next year? I had heard something a while back but can't find anything to confirm it.

Freo would have struggled to field a team this year if that was the case
Haven't heard anythign about it TBH

I read 38 somewhere, does that ring a bell?

I had another look at the Brennan trade last year. The Lions agreed to GC signing a 2nd player. The Lions received a 2nd compo pick as well as trading picks with GC. So in effect GC and Brisbane did a trade and exploited the compo system to get something for free.

We can use this loop hole for Sam Reid. GWS give us whatever and then we get the AFL compo on top of that (doesn't really take anything away from GWS).

That would be fantastic for us if true - I'm not sure how much faith I have in the AFL to adequately compensate us though

The thing is, whatever they give us is a bonus.

We are not forced to do anything here. GWS trade a pick to us for Reid and then we get the compo pick on top of it. No skin off GWS' nose as they won't be paying for it.

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

Lake on the footy show, didn't say anything comprehensive. Said he didn't know if he would be at the dogs next year, but he implied as long as we don't want to move him, he'll be there.
Didn't sound like he was too happy with Monty's comments around the middle of the year, and apparently, other than his outward comments, so there was no discussion with Lake before of after.

Re: Retirements, Trades, Delistings and the Rookie list

I thought Lake looked terribly unhappy.

The new coach may have to convince him to stay based on what I saw/interpreted.
