It's too early in the year for this. Thanks MS3 for the info, now to progressively drug the GWS footy ops crew into insanity just in time for trade period and ship Tom Temay over to them as the only man who ever stopped Whitfield.

They wouldn't though.
Blue Bloods
Norm Smith Medallist
I dont think they would, but two Cripps is worth a Boyd.
would you be willing to revel what is the 2nd piece of our future that we are missing ??!!

Would be a backflip after we said last year that we wouldn't trade Kreuzer.
Who would that be?
Players who I'd be disappointed to lose.
Walker, Menzel, Murphy, Gibbs, Simpson, Buckley, Kreuzer, Robinson, Yarran, Docherty, Cripps, Henderson, Jamison, Tuohy
the rest I could deal with or I don't think they'll go (Judd, Thomas, Everitt etc)
Walker only in there for sentimental reasons, we could cover him if we wanted.

Surely though if he chooses us as his preferred destination we'd only have to offer pick 5 or 6 and a smaller sweetener than Kreuze.
Why wouldn't Warnock + pick 5 do the job? Is Rob really that bad?

I'd say it's because he's contracted. He can choose us all he likes but if GWS don't like our offer they can just keep him and try again next year.

Is Yarran on the untouchable list if we can get a Boyd?
It isn't easy to find an elite KPF prospect who is the same size and height as Kreuzer.
The likes of Robinson, Watson, Tuohy, Jamison, Walker and Cripps could be dealt as part of a trade for Boyd.
Simpson is too old.
Kreuzer mightn't be durable enough.
Doc and Bucks won't move.
Don't see players agreeing or wanting to move, yet Kennedy was traded after he re-signed. Hendo had to be moved on so the Lions could get Fev. This type of trade will hurt somewhat.

Yarran is definitely untouchable in my books. Is one of our few differentiating factors as a side.
Cripps and a first round would do it IMO. I'm not too attached yet, could come back to hurt us though.

Mumford and Kreuzer would be a bruising duo though especially with Kreuzer entering his prime years.
Walker plus our first rounder would be my preferred trade. 1 AA quality HFF/HBF and a top fiveish pick for Boyd.
Yaz should be untouchable. Right age bracket, significiant upside and versatility.
Jamison + our first could work.....
Hendo would have to move down back though and we would keep Waite forward for his experience.
Crippa should be kept imo with Judd close to retirement.

What if trading Yarran helps us land a potential marquee player without breaking the bank?
Same argument applies to Kreuzer and Menzel. God forbid they break down again. Touchwood.
Cripps and pick seven could do it. Though they'd be within their rights to ask for a ready made senior player and a pick.
Sucks that we're discussing this during the season.
As much as I hated when Walker was almost gone to Port, 3 years later and for Boyd we'll probably be pretty happy if it happened.
They're currently playing Josh Hunt in that positing so it's almost definitely a hole in their list while Heath Shaw and Walker would appeal to them.

MS3 says getting Boyd is 1 of 2 parts of securing our future. From this I gather whoever we trade won't create another hole to fill so whoever it is most likely is a position we have a surplus of.
We wouldn't trade Hendo for Boyd because that doesn't bolster our stocks.
We only have 1 line breaker like Yarran. So probably not him.
Gibbs - definitely not.
Murphy is captain.
MS3 said it's not Menz.
Walker, a ruck or another mid (Cripps or maybe Robbo in a dream world) are probably what we can afford to lose without creating a hole.
We have the depth to cover Walker as well.
Tuohy, Everitt, Docherty, Buckley, Simpson, Sheehan, Thomas, Holman, Yarran
Bolded are unproven but.

Yarran in that role?

If we lose Cripps then it's up to Bell and Holman to fill in for Judd
I only threw Cripps in there because others had mentioned him, but I can't see 1. GWS asking for him & 2. Cripps agreeing to move there (you'd think if he ever left he'd go home).
