Looks like Seaby off to the Tigers

[UpTheGuts]

Mark McGough won the ANZAC Medal in his first game, or bloody close to it. I see your points though and like Polo and would prefer he stays and gets a sustained run in the senior team.

Seaby to chicken treat for a stacker burger

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

The Eagles and Tigers have a pretty good relationship when it comes to the trade period.Pick 26 is about the right price for Seaby.Im sure common sense will prevail in the end.

So you WC fans know a little more about these kids, Casserly is a little like a Joel Bowden HBF'er with more pace and obviously a bit less smarts (Joel is a gun in that regard). He had about 20 possies in a NAB game earlier this year and with Kelvin Moore looked to have taken the next step before injuries hit again and again.

His skills are not just silky, but he can hit teammates on the chest from 40-50m away - a rare ability. He's not a loud kid though so needs leadership to get the best out of him.

Dean Polo will make Richmond pay if we let him go...

You know how Daniel Kerr chased down that Sydney player in the final 30 seconds of a match the other year? He was clearly spent, but he saw a Swans player get the ball around 50 and Kerr ran his heart out and caught him holding the ball.

Polo is this type of player - through sheer will he forces the contest when everyone else has stopped running.

Would be great in finals (being a Richmond player he hasn't had a chance to show that though..

That's a good read. I appreciate that.

Care to go into the weaknesses of the players though?

 

[greennick]

I'm sure a lot of them will, especially this year.

But due to Richmond's list containing a core of young players with a few quality seniors, we don't have anyone to delist.

We should have cut Pettifer, but he's been told he's staying. Polak and Cogs still on the list in the middle aged group. The rest are kids with potential so why cut them for more kids with potential at picks 50-70?

I find it funny that a lot of posters think garbage + more garbage = gold.

How about we trade you Hyde, Tivendale, Pettifer and JON for Daniel Kerr?

We can even throw in Casserly too if you say no.

(Understand where I'm coming from now?!)

We find that funny too, which is why we are perplexed at offers of Polo and Casserly when we have even less list space than you.

Not really. You've just listed a whole bunch of horrific players. Where's the list space problem coming from?

Yes, we all understand. But you started the pissing war. I still don't understand how y ou can be so dismissive of pick 52 either. It's really not that bad a pick (maybe if your recruiting was better you'd have more confidence). If you want to play finals footy get used to having to use picks like that.

 

[15_year_member]

Sure. I should have listed that.

SEN just read out tomorrow's Herald Sun trade day 1 summary and that was the direct quote re: Seaby. Emphasis was added by SEN that there was NO interest, but I don't know if the HS does that too.

So SEN read off a trade activity summary sheet that has most probably no inside or credible sources at all and was probably just a straight read out of what was published on afl.com that anybody can read and because it contains no information about Seaby (because the eagles did not give any information to the media when they left for the day) that means that there was no interest. Your a bright spark aren't you?

The only people who know what interest there has been in Seaby is the eagles. And they don't talk to ther media out of turn. Not the hacks on SEN who just repeat rumours they heard someone else say or write somewhere. They were also telling us all year that Kerr was a dead set certainty not to be the eagles next year.

If Richmond don't want him then don't bid. There are other ptential buyers.

I included our retirees in that list

It's not a pick that makes us go "oh well now the deal looks good!! Let's sign!!"

It barely changes the value of the trade.

That trade is not nearly as unreasonable as many that have been suggested. I'd rather try and get a pick closer to the 22 that Seaby originally cost the Eagles however. Would Melbourne be interested in offering their second round pick for example ? (about 19 or 20 I think)

I think 26 and Polo for Seaby and 36 is not unreasonable.

 

[ArdentEagle]

I think 26 and Polo for Seaby and 36 is not unreasonable.

I agree, we get a good tagger ( Steinglein has fallen by the wayside IMO ) and a decent pick. You guys get a very capable Ruckman when given the #1 role and still a reasonable pick

 

[Virgil]

Channel 10 just suggested West Coast want Richmond's first round pick, whereas Richmond are not even willing to give their second pick.

West coast are delusional aren't they?

 

[Prem87]

Lol theres no way we will get Pick 8 from Richmond.

 

[The Cotch]

Tell em to shove it then. Dont take their crap Richmond.

 

[Windas_Magic]

West Coast expecting a first rounder for Seaby?

They'll be lucky to even get a late second rounder for him.

 

[telsor]

Channel 10 just suggested West Coast want Richmond's first round pick, whereas Richmond are not even willing to give their second pick.

I believe the term for both of these is 'negotiating position' or 'ambit claim'....

I bet both sides had to leave the room so they could have a chuckle after they were said.

 

[Embers]

West Coast expecting a first rounder for Seaby?

Hes contracted... Even though hes not worth a late first rounder the offer of a third rounder is just insulting. A pick that at this stage unless we delist a contracted player would go unused.

Even at this early stage its time to walk away from the Tigers and look to do a deal elsewhere. Possibly Sydney or Carlton if the Warnock deal falls through

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

The idea of offering a 3rd rounder is a bit insulting. If he's only worth that, he's not worth being at their club. Pick 8 is unrealistic too though. I think he's worth the second rounder.

As a recruiter you would have to go into discussions and at least ask for their pick 8 and see what happens. I personally would not be able to keep a straight face whilst asking them for pick 8 so wouldnt make a good recruiter.

Seaby + What for pick 8 Tiger fans??

 

[sharpie]

I think 26 and Polo for Seaby and 36 is not unreasonable.

In terms of quality swap - I think you are right

However in terms of club needs - I don't think Polo adds to west coast.

I'd rather have coughlan - and take the risk

 

[Rooboy16]

bugger seaby hes crap go for Hamish McIntosh

 

[Mr Q]

Hes contracted... Even though hes not worth a late first rounder the offer of a third rounder is just insulting. A pick that at this stage unless we delist a contracted player would go unused.

That's the sort of offer where you tell Richmond they're not Collingwood, and we're not Freo - and if they want to play that game, they can piss off. After all, Seaby's happy to stay if we can't find a reasonable deal.

That is correct Mr Q just said on 10 news that Seaby is happy to play out his contract next year if a suitable trade cant be done.

Richmond are jerking themselves if thats their best offer a mid third round pick.
They need to make the running here , if they seriously want him then make a decent offer. Otherwise don't waste our time.

 

[camboon]

YES YES ye -har yipee - its good though, that Seaby will have stay at WC, should be revitalised and motivated for you next year. YOU BEAUTY.

About time we stopped wasting good picks on discards.
