Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[ManInTheArena]

If Hartley is so good (which I'm not convinced) then I wouldn't be confident in picking him up unless we go early.

Does anybody know who is out of contract from Sydney at the end of the year? With there trade restrictions in place of only being able to trade in players with a salary of no more than $350K or draft picks if we could convince a quality player to nominate us and ask for a trade we may be able to get them for unders or Sydney risk losing them for nothing

Out of all the teams in the AFL at the moment, Colas are the only one that make me exhibit a sore anoos. I would not want to do business with those entitled campaigners unless it was a last resort. I can't wait till we beat them again.

I asked a BF member who'd know on Twitter. Second round to "guarantee" he's ours, third Rd he's roughly 90% to be there still.

This is the guy we are rumoured to be up to our ears into in this years draft, 198cm 102Kg mature age KPD formerly on the Pies rookie list...>>>>>Tarrant.

Wouldn't surprise me. Our depth of tall KPD consists of two people Talia and Hartigan. Hartigan is yet to convince the world he is AFL ready so getting a player like this would be a good get.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The reason we need a better key defender is because our midfield is thin and we concede plenty of unpressured delivery into our D50.

The reason we need another key forward is because our midfield lacks class and we struggle to kick to the advantage of our forwards.

If we can just get another quality key defender and another marking forward then we are all set.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Hartley should've been drafted by us last year.

Maybe second time around (and delist Siggins and Otten).

Ottens wont be delisted. Siggins and Shaw most likely will.

We need to find and draft a smooth mover in the middle. Hopefully with a top 10 pick (maybe 2 top 10 picks) we will get some class. Not to mention if we land any classy young midfielders like Aish etc. Another KPF is not what we need as a priority anyway. If we got the class in the middle we probably would stop burning so many forward entries.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Because Shaw was never out marked in most contests the week before.

Hartigan has played more good than poor games. Remember he is still inexperienced, so there will be inconsistency.

The jury is still out.

I'm not 100% on Jack's date. Stories aren't clear on his end date.

 

[hey shorty]

Lewis Jetta is the perfect player for us, would much rather him than Yarran.

 

[Team DJ]

Tom Keough is better than Hartley

Most blokes wouldn't know who he is!

I hate the idea of trading with them too but we could use this to our advantage and screw them over say for example Jetta is out of contract at the end of the year and we offer him $700K we can only trade back a player who earns $350K or less or a draft pick and if we just happen to trade our 1st round for someone else there's not much they can ask for

Thanks not to sure there are many on that list we would be interested in maybe only Jack, Jetta, Towers & Johnson still if we could get one for unders it would be a win

Ottens wont be delisted. Siggins and Shaw most likely will.

I think Shaw has so much more upside than Otten. Without intending to be offensive to Otten, he isn't strong, he's slow, lacks agility, and skills are mediocre.
I just can't see him being able to match up well on many forwards.

 

[Mckaye17]

Ottens wont be delisted. Siggins and Shaw most likely will.

Although Otten is a proven AFL player in the past I'm not so sure of this, it's definitely between one of them and at this stage you'd have to say Shaw gets the nod.

 

[lunacy]

Tom Keough is better than Hartley

193cm vs 198cm (102kg).

I think at afl level Keough might be the size of most 3rd tall defenders. I think we need a KPD with genuine height/size to match up on the new style forward coming through (Dixon, Danniher, Patton, Boyd, Peter Wright).

 

[hey shorty]

Hartley looks the goods, better make sure we get him.

 

[Scorpus]

Otten isn't getting delisted. You don't delist players recovering from an ACL injury

One of he or Shaw probably needs to go for list purposes.

Currently I have it at

OUT
Reilly, Podsiadly - retired
Siggins, Martin, Otten/Shaw, Wilson, Ozzie - delisted
Mackay, Kerridge, Wright, Hendo - traded
Dangerfield - FA contract
Thats 6 players and 2 rookies gone with 4 possibly 5 up for trade.

IN
ROB, Kelly - upgraded
Yarran, Aish - trades
Draft picks.

Now depending on what happens with trades we have 4 live picks at the draft, possibly 5. Of course this is dependent on who our coach is and the path he wants to take list wise. IMO thats why we need to appoint the right guy sooner rather than later.

Problem is how will clubs in finals react to us saying 'We want this guy as our coach can you release him'

Why not?

I'd give him one more year.

 

[hey shorty]

I'd give him one more year.

I rate him alot higher than some other 'best 22' players in terms of effort and toughness but really that isn't enough.

I wouldn't be upset if we did give him a year but don't think we should. Maybe a trade option too ?? He probably deserves a crack somewhere else.

I think we have so many players either potentially going or getting delisted that we will have to keep him anyway. And I wouldnt be unhappy with that. I've been surprised with how good he has been when in the team. He should come back in this week. He's twice the footballer Mackay is and there's no guarantee we're going to be able to get rid of him.
