Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Doesn't worry you that he has a light frame and is only 69 kg? Most of the top AFL mid fielders are mid 80's kg or more. You would think he would take 2-3 years to put on sufficient weight.

Even guys that look light framed like Harley Bennell are over 80kg.

Laverde is ready made for AFL in season 1. Why wouldn't we go for somebody with that sized frame?

Yep let's go for mature bodies because we are clearly in the premiership window and don't have time to develop 18 year olds

 

[Snake Charmer]

Francis is a superstar in the making. Huge pin point kicking. Reads the play well is a good intercept mark. we will be a general down back. He will develop into a mid in his prime to I think. I wanted Laverde so bad last year this year I want Francis


And who ever said he got smashed by Schache, he's not a key back and gives away about 10cms to home so I wouldn't judge Francis off that

 

[Howard Moon]

so we awaited the dangerfield domino to fall to let the trade floodgates open.....

 

[Stopher]

I always loved dominoes on the proviso I could set them up and knock them down. Watching someone else do it was and is boring. Even worse is when Ameet keeps ****ing with them and making big gaps in the trail.

 

[Howard Moon]

who is Brant Colledge, why does he want out and why are we into him?

i see 192 cm mid/utility - year to run on contract.

Worsfold smokey?

anyone know much about his style/potential?

looks OK!

drafted pick 45 in 2012 - about to hit his straps as a big bodied midfielder.

take.

Please feel free not to inform us when this changes to #Hard4Francis

I just realised I hate the domino analogy the media trot out every year. Especially that age article today makes out like the carlisle and trealor trade will result in another 50 trades.

Also **** carlton

bit of #breaking trade news, I understand @EssendonFC has two offers / trades for Carlisle better than @stkildafc pick 5 @7NewsMelbourne

 

[Stopher]

Hmmm

Makes no difference because Carlisle wants the payday from st kilda

Depending on the pay difference and the trade offered by whom, would we be happy to say pay $100K of his salary to get him to go elsewhere?

Not sure how I feel about it but thinking out loud.

I'd probably do it if it meant the difference in offers. If the Saints offer pick 5 take it and move on. If all they offer is pick 24 and a fringe player, and Buckets is happy to go somewhere else with us paying some of his wage, I think it is worth it. Not ideal, but better than what the Sints seem to be offering.

they are probably just putting it out there to scare Saints abit. and who knows with carlisle he could change his mind and go elsewhere if saints wont deal. be very surprised if we got an offer better than pick 5!!

Can make all the difference. Carlisle can easily be asked to change his mind on destination.

 

[DapperDon]

Better than pick 5?

Did we offer ourselves pick 4?

Slick move Dodoro!

Absolutely worth it. 2 deals on the table better then pick 5 minus 100k >>>> fringe player and 24.

Someone needs to remind Jakey just how long it will take to drive to Seaford. Last I heard it was 16hours return trip.

Pass that info onto him.

The Nepean at peak hour isn't far off it!

Also it's near Kananook.

BIIIIIIG minus right there.

 

[jsd09]

Better than pick 5? Ummmmmmm..... could be epic but it won't happen. At the very least it should force the hand of st kilda and pick 5.

aka Mitch Clarke, Kurt Tippett and Franklin to some degree.
