Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014

[Govinda blueboy]

Jaksch will be like Doc last year if we get him to nominate us.

He's out of contract. He was pick 12, Doc was pick 11. We got Doc for pick 33.

Would our third do it??

 

[etsal1]

Would our third do it??

Highly doubt it.

 

[Silvagnis]

Dustin Martin was up for grabs last year, was he asking for much more than Daisy?

Was Dustin a free agent?

 

[etsal1]

I've been thinking about our reported interest in Higgins. Might not even be true but still.

My rationale for 'wanting' him - we have already lost Duigan, Bootsma & Scotland. We might also lose Judd & Waite. That's before delistings.
We don't want to end up having to use picks in the 100s to fill up list spots.

In other words - if we get Higgins for a reasonable price, I'd rather him than either a 6th rd draft pick or having to keep someone we'd rather delist.

What would be a 'reasonable' price for him? He's 26. Unrestricted.

$2.18 I reckon.

Don't think bringing in an injury prone 26 year old is the way to go .
Just look at our frustration with our own no.1 pick in Kruezer .
Perhaps trying to pry the likes of Hallahan from Hawthorn with the promise of greater senior opportunity might be the better bet ??

Perhaps.

But Hallahan will require a trade. We lack currency as it is.

 

[passmark]

Is this the thread where we get rid of Lucas?

........i know most threads cover that ground eventually, but is this the official one?

 

[Red Bull]

Perhaps.

Well it appears Garlett and Lucas may be heading west .
Whatever we can garner for them maybe enough for Hallahan ??

Do we really need another inside mid?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

$2.18 I reckon.

Without a coupon...

 

[thylacine60]

Do we really need another inside mid?

How about an inside out?

 

[Red Bull]

We have to build a deep midfield .

Judd Carrazzo McLean will all have to be replaced .

Graham Bell Cripps Gibbs.

We need outside mids.

 

[Navy Cream]

Inside out your turning me, upside down and all around!!

 

[Red Bull]

Graham Bell Cripps Gibbs.

We need outside mids.

Fair call ,
Just think the deeper the midfield depth of quality the better ... And Hallahan is made of the right kinda stuff we are lacking !!

Not saying we don't need mids. I just think we need a mid with speed and very good disposal. We have enough big bodied bash and crash types. We need a Smith/Hill type.

Smith/Hill would be great ... Higgins wouldn't

 

[Cringle]

Higgins isn't a bad idea at all. Free Agent. Cost nothing cept salary cap. I'd definitely have a crack.

 

[etsal1]

All good.

But Higgins won't stop us from getting anyone. He will only cost cap space. And as I said, I'd rather him than a pick in the 100s.

 

[Cringle]

Why wouldn't we chase a quality outside ball user for just cash space. I've always liked Higgins. So I maybe bias.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Higgins is ok. 300k (slightly above average) fair?

 

[Big_Luch]

what would higgins cost? 400-450K? that would seem worth a best 22 player.

 

[Magruder]

Cant see them wanting Warnock.

Was just about to say that.

 

[Magruder]

$2.18 I reckon.

$4 incl incentives.
