Yeah I'd be pretty stoked with either. Hampson I'm not too fussed about, probably not really much of an upgrade on our existing stocks.

Massive bellchambers fan, just starting to come into his prime. Becoming a goal scoring ruckman. I'd think he could command a mid-late 1st rounder unfortunately.

Griffen has done is ACL, his value would be down, but he wont play till after the bye next year.
I think I'll leave the ruckman debate alone until the end of the year. Lobbe could surprise us in the back half with sole duties. He will also be far more important next year with the 80 rotations.

Big call but I'm tipping Blitz to absolutely rip the comp a new one next year with the capped rotations.

 

[Stromageddon]

I'd trade Hartlett and a pick for Warnock. I'd also trade Butcher and a pick for Bellchambers.

I'm probably worse than Rhode.

I would trade Hartlett for a decent fullback or ruck too

Based on those trades, yes I believe you are - particularly the first one.

And no, that's not a euphemism about Jake Neade.

[Hong-Kong Phooey]

this talk of trading hartlett is crazy stuff. the guy only just surpassed 50 games, is finally getting his body right so what you wanna do...trade him.

crazy crazy crazy

 

[Stromageddon]

If the right deal comes along, no player should be off the table.

That's my thoughts there are some players who aren't tradable Hartlett isn't one of them....if we get a decent ruck or fullback with a pick I would consider it

 

[Schulzenfest]

I'd trade Wingard and a pick for Angus Graham. amidoinitrite?

So firstly, confirm you were suggesting Hamish Hartlett plus a pick for Robert Warnock, a 26 year old with 64 games under his belt. You don't think this is overpaying by just one or two truckloads ?

I don't know if you've noticed, but every year there seem to be one or two rucks available at trade, and they usually cost around the pick thirty mark. We may have lucked out with Renouf the year we went to the table, but what makes you value Warnock so much higher than a late 20's/early 30's pick ? .... or do you just not rate Hartlett.

 

[Powerade 08]

For the 10000th time we are the last team in the league after West Coast that needs a ruck.

Put another on the rookie list and wait and see if Redden and Lobbe are any good.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Greenwood promoted for his first game of the season.

Horlin-smith re-signs at Geelong for another two years.

 

[Lagooner]

We don't need to get rid of Hartlett, we need to kick him in the arse by bringing in some competition for his spot.

 

[faquito]

Anyone know why Mitch Wallis hasn't been playing for the Bulldogs?
His contract status?

Rate him fairly highly and I recall Port putting in the only first round bid for him in the Father-son in 2010.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I can't stress enough that you never, ever trade high draft pick KPPs until they are in their mid 20s. Trading Butcher for anything would be insanity unless we were getting a ridiculous deal.

Bellchambers wouldn't be going anywhere i'd have thought.

 

[x_les_x]

Would we consider dids? in and out of side doesn't look to be in collingwoods future with development of martin etc. Or even Christian Howard?

Mentioned elsewhere Didak would be over 31 next season - too old

 

[Macca19]

I too would also trade Adam Hartlett and a pick for Robert Warnock.

We need more rucks, badly. My mentioning of Hartlett as trade bait was hyperbole to get discussion happening on what we are really ready to give up for a decent ruck.

 

[faquito]

Personally, I think we missed our opportunity in getting bellchambers for cheap. Weren't Essendon keen on Moore in 2011? Back then Bellchambers wasn't getting a game ahead of Hille and Ryder and Moore was still struggling through OP...

 

[Portmanteau]

While trading for an established ruck will probably happen, at some point we need to bite the bullet and actually draft and develop a ruckman.
