Pull the trigger? ... 2018 Edition



Recommended Posts

Posted

Forgetting for a moment all the trade and FA compensation minutiae of how these circumstances arise, if you were the football manager for these clubs would you pull the trigger on these deals?

 

Geelong viewpoint  - Would you trade Tim Kelly and Pick 11 for Pick 7 and Pick 15?

Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern?

Port Adelaide viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2nd rounder?

Melbourne viewpoint  - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10?

GWS viewpoint  - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11?

GWS or Carlton viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel?

Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May?

Geelong, Yes. Wouldn’t want to but you would.

Carlton, yes. Not sure on Adelaide, don’t know enough of the draftees

port, once again, don’t know enough but they prob would cos of the supposed great SA talent

Melb, reluctantly yes, but rather keep 5 and swap 10 if that’s what you mean by May and 10.

GWS yes, and I’d chase Preuss.

Carlton yes, GWS... not sure.

GC, Yes as I’d want a complete clean slate sort of like the lions did a few years ago.

Yes.

Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern?           

No. Would take Walsh or Lukosius. McGovern overrated.

Port Adelaide viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2nd rounder?      

No. Would insist on the pick 4 they’re getting for Neale. Port want Isak Rankine. 

Melbourne viewpoint  - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10?   

No. For picks 5 & 10 only.

GWS viewpoint  - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11?         

Yes.

GWS or Carlton viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel?       

Yes.

Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May?    

Yes but only with one or two decent mature players thrown in to sweeten deal. Frost and/or Tyson.

Hmmmmmmmmm...

Geelong - won't play finals again for at least five years, Kelly is already 24, so trade for the draft picks

Carlton - should keep pick 1, because in about four years time when the Blues are ready for their next rebuild, they'll be able to trade Lukosious for two top-10 picks. But seriously, Carlton people are surviving solely on the hope of some superstars giving them a core they can make a rapid recovery from, so the remarkable gun forward is what they need. Think Matthew Richardson for Richmond.

Port Adelaide - hold 9 and 10. Just because of the apparent curve of talent in this years draft still holding very strong past this point, and the possibility of a steal.

Melbourne - No, I'd want to end with May and a better pick than 10.

GWS - Yep, take 11, need to clear cap space anyway after SOS botched up the list management.

Carlton - Effectively two picks in the top 5 for 1 player who is very good but not team-changing, nope.

Geelong viewpoint  - Would you trade Tim Kelly and Pick 11 for Pick 7 and Pick 15?

Yes. Cash in.

Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern?

Yes but only just. Get more value.

Port Adelaide viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2nd rounder?

No. Without being Port’s list manager I would say they should hold these.

Melbourne viewpoint  - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10?

If that’s the absolute best on offer then yes. 

GWS viewpoint  - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11?

I’m gonna say yes, Lobb is more suited as a forward and the Giants could use a quality hit out guy. Maybe trade it for Pruess and another pick.

GWS or Carlton viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel?

GWS - Yes Carlton - no

Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May?

No, without May GC becomes a Crèche. Would much prefer a 1st rounder and an experienced player that can improve us right now.

Geelong viewpoint  - Would you trade Tim Kelly and Pick 11 for Pick 7 and Pick 15? Yes, that would be a great result in a strong draft. 

Carlton or Adelaide viewpoint - Would you trade Pick 1 for Pick 4 and McGovern? Adelaide yes, Carlton no if they think they can get Shiel.

Port Adelaide viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 9 and Pick 10 for Pick 5 and Fremantle’s 2019 2ndrounder? Yes, if they are keen on one of the highly rated SA kids.

Melbourne viewpoint  - Would you trade Hogan for May and Pick 10? No, I would want Kolodjashnij too if we only get pick 10. First preference is to keep Hogan. Second preference is for two first round draft picks. Not really keen on May.

GWS viewpoint  - Would you trade Lobb for Pick 11? Every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Who would give pick 11 for him though?

GWS or Carlton viewpoint  - Would you trade Pick 4 and 2019 1st rounder for Shiel? GWS yes, Carlton would need a late first round pick to come back.

Gold Coast viewpoint - Would you accept Pick 9 for May? No. The AFL will ensure that GC receive a pick after their first round pick next year if May leaves as a free agent, which could well be pick 2.

Contradiction?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
