Rumour The Thread formerly known as the rumour file, now with zero rumours

No chance it will be Cameron

I reckon Cameron would be the hardest to get.

 

[V23]

But not Patton....

Anyone know Patton's contract status?

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Need to work out a trade scenario that allows us to keep our first pick.

Trade for Patton would be great and if we could draft one of the best 5 KPF as well we would solidify our forward structure for the next decade or more.

I don't think logistically that would be possible.

In order to get quality, you need to give up something of value.

Our first pick would be the starting point (and hopefully ending point) of any possible trade.

IF we traded a player it would have to be 2 of MEnz, Yazz, Gibbs, Hendo.

 

[Blue since 72]

Jaksch.

Kreuzer and Walker get it done ???

At first glance, I read that as "Pagan's contract status" ... and I wanted to vomit.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

I'd be comfortable giving up what will probably be a top 3 pick for Patton & Cameron given they are proven. Boyd hasn't verified his pick 1 status yet (pick 1 doesn't guarantee a gun).

Yeah I suppose its how highly our recruiters rated Boyd last year v Wright/McCartin/Durdin. Could be a good opportunity to snag a genuine gun KPF who is already 12 months into his AFL development where all of those 3 prob with the exception of Durdin will struggle to play decent senior footy for a few years. Even highly rated fwds like Daniher is 2 years in and struggling to make an impact. If we are lucky enough to get one we need to be patient.

I think that would be the sort of offer that would make GWS walk away from any negotiation.

I understand the practice of 'start low' - but you can't be disrespectful!

If Kreuz didn't have so many ? marks over him it might get them to pick up the phone. But given they have Mumford, do they really need him?

We're talking about trading for a 10 year gun.

 

[TheRedPill]

Please don't get excited by this (i know it will be a hard not too), but the club is doing everything possible to get a young GUN KPP from GWS. Can't say who the player is or what we are offering yet, but there is a small possibility that it may actually happen.

It's Jaksch. Carey Grammar boy.

Yep. We have to think of it like this - what would we have demanded for Murph or Gibbs a year or two after they were drafted?

Kreuzer, Walker, Robinson and 2nd rounder get them to sit back down C4....

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

It's Jaksch. Carey Grammar boy.

Jaksch would leave me a little dissapointed to be honest.

Maybe I've built up the hype in my own head, but I was expecting a GUN!

 

[etsal1]

It's Jaksch.

MS3 said GUN. Whilst Jaksch is good, he is no gun yet.

I'd be expecting to get Jaksch for a second + Walker.

That is the kind of thinking that will prevent us from getting one of them, not a chance GWS will accept anything other than our first pick, the only chance we had as trade bait just inked a 5 year deal.. With Dogs, Saints, Freo, Lions all equally desperate for KPF talent they wont come cheaply.

Gibbs was never trade bait given he was a FA. Why would someone have traded for him when they can get him for free?

 

[AB_Blue]

GUN KPP points to Cameron, Patton or Tomlinson. Boyd would be contracted as would McCarthy. Is Jaksch classed as a gun??

Who knows, maybe we're after two of their KPPs! But Jaksch was a highly-touted recruit and wants to come home, Carlton is the likely destination at this stage. The caveat is of course that things often change quickly for young lads, so there's a lot of water to go under the bridge between now and then.

Maybe but think the pressure is also mounting on GWS to win more games now or in the very near future.

You are out of your mind if you think that is a good deal for us.. I would think our 2nd round pick would be overs on its own. Jacksch couldn't get a game up until 2 weeks ago. He has played 4 games, is averaging 8 disposals and 0.2 goals

Are you just speculating or do you know something?

I'll do my best!

.... meanwhile during trade week.

"Our 2nd round pick ... or Gubby gets it"

 

[Jatz]

I would absolutely love the General but I cannot see how GWS would let him go. More likely to be a smaller fish I'd imagine.

Please, please, please let it be the General though!
