Please place all 2019 preseason items (is it fair to call a player an item???) up for auction in this thread. We'll keep a history of successful auctions here. 1) Banchang offered up Nic Newman, winning bid of 2019 MSD R1 came from Nuytsland. 2) Christmas Island offered up Bailey Dale, winning bid of PSD77 came from King Island. 3) Christmas Island offered up Brett Deledio, winning bid of PSD39 came from Nuytsland. 4) Southern Cross offered up Dougal Howard and PSD47, winning bid of PSD38 came from Korumburra. 5) Cow Bay offered up Tom Boyd, winning bid of PSD30 came from Groote Eyland. 6) Korumburra offered up Naikia Cockatoo and PSD31, winning bid of David Mundy and PSD28 came from Pearcedale.
Not sure I’ve ever done an auction... maybe Gawn for shits and giggles a few years ago? Anyway I digress. An off season auction to gauge interest: Sam Hayes. R/F from Port Adelaide. 19 years old, heir apparent to Paddy Ryder (now arguably behind Lycett) and a super Ruck prospect. Captain as an underager and highly touted chess player. Can dominate a woodwind instrument and enjoys Harry Potter. I drafted him with pick 16 last preseason so, when offering draft picks as a bid, please keep that in mind. Closing time of Sunday night or Monday if I get on the piss. Note: like the I am rapaport stereo podcast, I don’t fact check, so some shit above might be wrong, but you get the gist.
Which facts are questionable? Is he really 19 years old? Is he really a R/F? Does he really play for Port? Does he even actually exist???
just to formally confirm the obvious, Sam Hayes quite happily stays an Armadillo. He will be put on the shelf and ready to take the #1 ruck mantle in 2020. #successionplan #idontfullyunderstandhashtags #tryingtobeyoungandhip
Coolgardie will offer up for auction Essendon Defender: Mark Baguley Yeah, he's been dropped from the main side, and will be picked up as a rookie (he's 31y/o, has played 124 games, but can be a rookie - I don't understand the AFL systems either!?!?!?!?), which is fine, because rookies can play from round 1 these days without having to wait for a spot on the main list to open up. In 2018 he played 20 games, averaged 60ppg, and had an aggregate of 1209points (259th best in the league, which puts him in the top 15 total point scorers in an average ORFFU team. In 2017 he played 21 games at 67ppg for a total of 1408 points. He's a handy D4-D5-Int player whose consistency and reliability could be enough for a team to avoid a donut and get that one extra win. What we're looking for in return is something along the lines of a PSD R3 or R4 pick (this year or next year), or a fringe forward. Auction will close at 2pm Perth time on Thursday 1 November.
Absolutely no interest has me a little surprised. A little bit of opposition analysis shows me that, based on 2018 points, Mark Baguley would have been: The 5th best scoring defender for Banchang @choppers Blanchetown @martyg Eden @HOLKY King Island @Tylo Korumburra @Mick and Staghorn Flat @tyze1 The 4th best scoring defender for Groote Eylandt @YAD69 Hughenden @Batfink Pakenham @ddsaints and Serengeti @wrightbrendan The 3rd best scoring defender for Nuytsland @bryzza Surely that's worth some interest to you...???
Ill get Robertson back next year , Williams natural progression will overtake Baguley and I think is not best 22 next year but Ill take inquires for genuine stars over 30
Banchang will offer up for Auction, Carlton new boy :Nic Newman. He turns 26yo in January, and is currently listed as a MID but with 71% of his 2018 time spent in Defence, he's just about guaranteed to be a DEF in 2019. He may even be given D/MID which would be a bonus. He also has a Disposal Efficiency rated at 73% which assists his SC scoring. Banchang is looking for a 2019 PSD Pick or a 2019 MSD Pick in return for his services. Auction will close at 8pm AEDT on Sunday 11th November, 2018.
No. It just means that bid is the leading bid so far..... When and if a bid reaches reserve, I will state that in my post.
@choppers I think if you're going ask for something that doesn't meet reserve what's the point of asking for it? Ie msd. I think you're just fishing & he'll be past in just like 80% of the auctions we've seen in the FU. Just saying!
