List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

[3rdMan]

I imagine his role would be what WHE plays?

Similar to WHE as a forward. I'd say Membrey's better in that role, but that WHE has more flexibility.

Don't think Membrey breaks into our best 23, but at 188cm with good mobility, he can backup for a tall or small.

 

[BigVic]

A good pickup for us

 

[BillyElliott]

Great pick up. He's a consistently reliable forward. Will help Checkers & McStay enormously.

 

[Markfs]

Mental health issues, what better club to play for than Collingwood! Our supporters aren't harsh on our players at all.

well if he can read the game-day thread after his first game, and not have him reaching for prozac, then i think we can say that he's cured...

 

[Markfs]

Why did St Kilda delist him?

he was too vocal about wanting to win a premiership...

 

[Hardas]

Always liked him, it was just the shit palm tree tatt that had me questioning how good he could be.

You're palmist?

 

[Hardas]

Can only play him in the team if Mcstay 2nd rucks and no cox

Or, as expected, AFL sanctions 5-man benches.

I think Mihocek is going to struggle next year after his torn pec tendon.

He won't have the same strength to wrestle as before.

He's also 32 and pretty banged up

It would definitely help them to rotate.
Brodie got really hammered before McStay got back.

 

[DopeMaster]

Thought Skunk was cooked halfway through the year but after a brief stint in the VFL he looked back to his best again.

We managed to string together some wins to end the season and Tim played a big role in that, kicked 14 goals in the last 6 games so definitely still has some good footy left.

He’s a very smart forward with a great goal sense and a reliable set shot. Not a key forward but leads well as had a solid overheard mark. Loves sitting at the ball drop and grabbing em with a trademark vertical jump.

One of my favourites, think he will play some quality footy for you. Wouldn’t surprise me if he boots 40+ if played in a role that suits him.

Cheers for the intel.

Any idea why Saints cut him? Seems like he was still playing v strong footy…

How’s his defensive pressure?

Any positional flexibility or pure stay at home forward?

 

[Anzacday]

Gary Lyon on sen this morning said he didn’t know who perryman and peatling were before this trade period, is not the kinda gotcha moment he thinks it is. For a self proclaimed footy expert to not know players that are being chased by multiple clubs undermines whatever credibility he may have had.

I didn’t hear it for context however, my guess is he’s having a crack at the $ on offer.

 

[wannabewinner]

I will miss Membrey and you guys will love him.

Unfortunately, it was a case of the club offering him one year deal and him wanting a 2 year deal.

Being UFA, he’s not reliant on the trade period.

Just a very valuable and underrated second forward. He can take spectacular vertical jump marks. During the game death, he can go back and take marks. Reliable kick. My only issue with him is taking too much time if he’s in the middle of the ground to make the kick selection. Otherwise, he’s super reliable and durable. As long as Mihochek takes the gorilla back, he will heavily feature at the top of your goal kicking list.

 

[Apex36]

Probably right, but it could be that we only realised Membrey was going to be available later on. He just seems a much better fit to me.

If we only realised later on then Leppa is a bit slow on the uptake. It was pretty widely reported early on that he wasn’t being offered a new deal and would be up for grabs.
In terms of fit, I’d say they were looking at Hayes because he can ruck (albeit undersized) which would allow him to play alongside McStay and Checkers in Coxs role. Not sure where Membrey fits in a fully fit forward like, but if the last 2 years are anything to go by that’s not going to happen a lot anyway.
Going to stick to me being right here.

 

[Apex36]

Can either of them play ruck if Cameron and Cox go down?

I don’t understand letting Kreuger go at all.

We went through it last year. Cox and Cameron injured at the same time and having no ruckman.

Then Mihocek, Cox and McStay injured at the same time this year.

I have a feeling the club will be keen to blood the two young rucks if that eventuates.

Smit in particularly I think. Wouldn’t surprise to see him get a few games.

 

[well left]

Why did St Kilda delist him?

My take is they have Sharman coming through as that third tall and the preference is to pair him up with King for the long term in Membrey’s role.

The Saints aren’t wrong to do that. We wouldn’t have a need for Membrey either if we’d been able to retain Henry or Reef had solidified his role there.

I guess Frampton is the backup.

Smit/Steene will likely be the backups next year.

Hop on the Roo!

 

[Scodog10]

Smith wasn't a FA. Membery is. He obviously knows Saints weren't re-signing him, hence why he looked elsewhere.

Martin wasn’t a FA. MM is right St Kilda need to delist Membrey in order for him to be signed as a DFA and if his contract just lapses he goes through the draft process.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

If Membrey plays every game, with his goal average, he would go close to winning our goal kicking. He would finish between 35 to 37 goals.
Good get, l think. He will provide support to Mihocek, and a good foil for McStay as our key forward....

Isn’t Membrey a UFA anyway?

 

[BEEG]

Saints played best football when King was out and Membrey was one of the main targets.

30 goals for a team that plays crap slow footy.

Got me stuffed why they haven't resigned him.

 

[HoraceStrasbork]

one of my fav non pies players. Been on the membrey train with manic at the front. 40 goals playing for the saints = 70 for us

Can’t remember what happened the last time we recruited a st kilda player. Think we might have won one of those premiership things
