#29 Gippsland Sharks trade Sam Mayes (325/3) to St Kilda Titans for Stewart Crameri (247/2)
An interesting trade to analyse this one as we have two vastly different players traded in a straight swap. Mayes is a young midfielder whoose career has stalled slightly, but still shows an ability to rack up the odd big score when on song. At just 21 years of age their is still plenty more time for Mayes to improve his game.
Crameri gives the Sharks another key forward and has an average score higher than Mayes' in 2015. At 27 though he has probably reached his peak and will never be a large scorer but will always be a viable key forward option and likely best 18 starter every week for the Sharks.
On face value, you would take a higher scoring key forward every day of the week, but with a fairly large discrepancy in age and vastly different roles it is really hard to judge this one. Both teams get what they need in this trade and there really is no loser. I'm a big fan of Mayes though and feel he will become a solid fantasy scorer in the future so on my bias alone I would name St Kilda as the winners in this one if forced to pick.
