Trade Targets ~ Free Agency & MSD player discussion

The term “destination club” Is a load of BS

I agree.

There is another category of player that moves and thats a b-grader who is fading and goes wherever will have him if it means he can eek another couple years out of his career before it all ends for good. This is how I would describe North.

[piffdog]

But this discussion of draft busts belongs in another thread, and already well picked over.

Belongs on another forum to be honest. So tiresome...

[piffdog]

In summary:

Outs: Noble, Macrae, Richards and Picks 32, 37, 39, 48 & 50

Ins: Alex Davies, Peatling, Stringer, Haynes and Picks 14 and 21...

Then we can go to the draft, confident that we can acquire two talls (Whitlocks, Mraz, Tom Sims-199cms or Alex Dodson- 203cm ruck from SA)

You forgot Outs: *** next year's first rounder... ***

I actually like your work here - but some will bed wary of forgoing next year's pick. If the club have conviction that McGuane is going to use up our first pick (wherever that is), I dont mind pulling that pick forward to use now.

Good stuff.

^“destination club”, the most overused and thrown around term to describe a Clubs ability to attract players, along with some romantic notion our own players should be one Club players.
Right up there with every second footy scribe or businessperson currently using descriptive terms such as what the 'narrative' relates to. If I hear that phrase one more time I'll go full Terry Wallace.

A Destination club is simply a club that is in the premiership window and has the $ to fork out.

A player who takes good $ to go to a shit team to supposedly be part of their rebuild, has basically mentally checked out and is just getting paid appearance money.

How about our first pick and Reef for Jake Stringer ?? Is that acceptable or too bloody much. ?? Just asking.

You are kidding…right?
Not worth a tenth of that. Well take his contract and give him extra years. That’s it.

5) Pick 50 and Fin Macrae for Peatling GWS (he is out of contract and we can offer him 4 years at, say $600K/annum).

Think Peatling's value just went up. After today's performance reckon he's worth it.

And our last qtr fade out against the Swans actually shows we weren't far off. Key injuries hurt.

Add a few key pieces and let veterans have a long preseason.

I think your cheese has slipped off it’s cracker

Not quite mate, Piesnchess is a delicious cheese compared to someone who is crackers like you
Different strokes for different folks but I have inside knowledge on Stringer being a Bendigo resident who has seen him play locally and for Essenscum.
The combination of him and JDG will be something to behold. Mark my words!

After watching Peatling today he’s a must get
Played a run with role in Gulden and Warner for big parts of the day and crept forward kicked a goal
He’s the type we need

[Presti35]

Re: Stringer, the second he has the jumper on, we'll all be pretty pumped. And when he kicks a few bags, we'll be even happier.
If the trade is right, you do it.

[Presti35]

Just looking into Essendon news/names, are we here at NBB interested in anyone else they have?

Wright? Laverde? Jones? Draper? Parish? We've been linked to Hobbs. And I think even Tsatas name was floated around.

Dylan Shiel has been told the club would “ understand if he was to explore his options elsewhere “ Not sure if he’s the answer but you would think there would be a lot of movement within Essendons list.
