View Full Version : Shannon "Shaguar" Grant
What would rival clubs give for Shannon Grant in this years draft? Here at North we would reckon a mid to late first rounder, but for a 30 year old mabye that's a tad hopeful. As it's well known, he is a star player, and wil be for 2-3 years time.
Honest/propper answers only please.

HE is a gun player but clubs that are rebuilding wouldn't give away their first round draft picks even though he is worth that.
Kangas wouldn't trade their best player anyway

I seriously doubt you would get that this year.
Late 1st rounder/early 2nd rounder more likely.
Given your scenario, what is Aker worth in the eyes of North fans?

He would be a handy player during our rebuilding process ...
Would Pick 24 and a player like Boyle/Brennan suffice?

Im thinking more of the 7-16 region, Someone like Collingwood, W.Bulldog's, Sydney etc etc could use him. Remembering he was an All-Australian last year.

Well it looks as though it will be the doggies 1st rounder and S.Power, who is a good player.
If it was the Hawks id take their 2nd rounder & J.Lewis but they would never do it, they are on a one way rebuilding process.

I think he is worth a pick 5 or so but clubs wont give that up for him. I think you should target geelongs pick 7

We wouldn't give away Lewis, particularly when he went at Pick 7.
At best, North could expect a player like Boyle/Brennan/Reis/Ball in addition to Pick 24 for Grant I reckon.

If he had made AA again this year, the he would definitely be worth a Top 10 pick this year, if not Top 5.
The fact that he didn't have a good season could have been overlooked if he wasn't 30 though.

I stand corrected if that's the case. Would make a slight difference, but in the grand scheme of things,
a) He's too close to the 'taboo' 30 years
b) North wouldn't trade him anyway

Ummmm Brisbane are NOT getting our first round pick. Eade has stipulated many times we are NOT giving it away:rolleyes:
Last year was the year to trade him. Uncontracted and a stellar season.
This year if he was coming from another club i wouldn't want him. Poor season and approaching 30.
I'd take pick 24 and L.Brennan.

As a North fan, I don't see the point in trading him, as he has been a very good servant of the club and we'd never get proper value. Would be a trade for the sake of trading.

Why? Brennan is trash and pick 24 is a lottery, even in a percieved 'superdraft'.

and you would be an idiot.
Pick 24 and Ladson!!
He's still near carear best form, after an AA last year. One bad season can't dictate a players carear. Anyway, coaches and recruiting staff know just how dangerous he can be, and at worst, he still has an impact on every game.
and you would be an idiot.
Pick 24 and Ladson!!
Both clubs lose.
Grant should be retained. His value to us is more than his trade value. However, if it is a "youth policy" we have then such deals have to be considered.

grant should go back to sydney and win a flag there and they can give us there first round pick
seems fair??

we had alot of depth at the time though, wed just won a premiership, and grant had played in a grand final side.

I think that may be a little "Old Fashioned" for modern day footy. After all, we want to win a premiership, and if trading Grant will help us get there, im sure the majority of North supporters will be for it. Yes, he's been a great servent for the club, but let him serve us to the highest extreme and sacrifice himself for the good of the club.

Oh no, thats goes backwards to North's policy of drafting old blokes for decent picks and players, doesnt it?
If I was Norf I'd take that in a flash.

After viewing about a dozen of your posts I have come to the conclusion that you are either 14 years old or a clown. Either way you know nothing about football. Please annoy someone else.

In that case I know about as much as your coach. You are just another one of those say little North trolls that has an inflated view of an ageing list that has traded pathetically and is heading for the bottom (to take our place:))

Oh but hes good enough for the team that has won the spoon 3 times in 5 years? I guess the other 2 finishes 15th and 11th feel like quite an achievment
Quickly becoming the new Fitzroy.

Stevens is TOTAL hack - I wouldn't take him for free (trade-wise) given his contract. A down-hill skier of world renown, with AWFUL disposal by both hand and foot. The personification of over-rated, by keyboard jockeys who judge based on possession totals rather than impact on the game.
I would trade grant for a pick 20-25 + a decent player. Stevens is NOT decent.

so in the past past 5 years carlton have finished last 3 times, 2nd last once and 11th once??
I haven't been paying that much attention to how they've been goin but geez... going by that they should be doing all they can to secure the services of Mr Hankey, would fit right in by all reports.
grant should go back to sydney and win a flag there and they can give us there first round pick
seems fair??Straight swapp for Schwatta. Fair exchange, no robbery.
Seriously, I have no idea whether Shannon Grant is a chance of going to any other club, but he's about as likely to sign on for Sydney next year as Aker.
All i can say is i hope Laidley isn't reading this. He may give away our top 3 picks for a bloke who's already on our team!:p
