Recruiting Trade & Free Agency V

[JayJ20]

Trading a dual All Australian defender for let's say Jarrod Picket would do us wonders

Trading a dual AA defender to fill a need like Wines however would do us wonders.

He's not going to be AA for long. It's a bold move, but we need to make bold moves.

Brayshaw has gone past him and Petraccas short bursts even when out of form are still better than what Tyson brings. With Viney back this week I actually think he'll be dropped. Would happily ship him off for a late 2nd.

Where the **** do I sign?

Also, Tyson is very highly rated at Melbourne (at least he was 5 months ago). Doubt he gets dropped or traded

I said last year Tyson for Zaharakis would benefit both sides in a straight swap but doubt either club would do it.

Melbourne wouldn't. Hate players that don't run both ways.

Would take him for sure would be our best mid along side Merret and Smith also fits the age profile of our list at 24

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

What about Dan Hannebery would he be gettable?

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Not really keen to trade away picks for this year yet given we're approaching a good draft, we're really not that close to winning a flag and we have a good number and variety of young players coming through at the moment. Could all change by end of season though.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Another midget who would cost the farm to get to the club. Do no want.

 

[lenny2013]

In hindsight we should went hard for Zak Jones last year, hard on the inside but also has reasonable leg speed as well.

We really need to trade the likes of Zaka out to balance our midfield up this year.

 

[Milanista28]

Are we in a position to field offers for Hurley with our current defensive stock?

Obviously trading Hurley will hurt but are we in a position to make a big move?

2 of Hateley/Bytel/Rankine/Walsh???

 

[Old Stuckup]

Trading Hooker, Hurley, Heppell etc. would be a disgrace after all the club has put them through.

Trading Hooker, Hurley, Heppell etc. would be a disgrace after all the club has put them through.

On the flipside, at least with Hurley and Hooker, it could be "you're unlikely to see a flag here. These teams will probably compete in the next few years, why don't you go there and have a chance"? A team like Geelong or Port for Hurley, Richmond or Sydney for Hooker.

 

[Kakkle]

I wonder if we'll look into Clay Smith again. Dodoro's long lost lost love child, and has already attempted to allure him across twice. I'd pass personally but I doubt he'd cost anything, and knowing our club, that might be enough.

 

[Knox Harrington]

I don't think we can trade hooker or Hurley given the size of contract they are in.
I also don't think it's fair on them given what the club put them through and also the loyalty they've shown the club.
As I posted on another thread dodoro has had a good last two draft periods. I hope we go best available mids with our round one and two picks this year.

Small, slow, poorly skilled and injury prone. Has never really been able to become a midfielder either (may be due to being constantly injured) and I don't know how he'd get a game ahead of Fantasia, Walla, Laverde and Begley when fit. Would even be line ball with Green. All that being said, his 2016 finals were excellent and he's a natural footballer.

If he's a DFA, yep, no problem, slot him into Jacko Merret's spot. Otherwise I'd stay away.

Would only trade them if they went out and asked for one but I can’t see that happening.

 

[Zach Package]

Clay Smith would be absolutely worth a punt if the cost was nil. The issue is the dogs love him, we’d already have him otherwise.

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

Would prefer Wallis or Dalhouse from the dogs...Wallis isn't going to cost as much as Wines, we probably already have a lot of Dalhouse types (without his tackling pressure)

Cause putting them on over inflated contracts was terrible?

Football is a business. As much as we hate to admit it at times

I mean, you shouldn't hate to admit it, because that exactly what it is. But the trading landscape is so vastly different to any other sport around the world, we just won't see that kind of player movement.

I’m a gun wrap for Smith, would be good to have 2 Smiths in the team known for their tackling and pressure

Dahlhouse at his best is very similar to Dev Smith.

Are we any chance on Setterfield this window? I'd go pretty hard at him.

Potentially, but I'd prefer to chase somebody established to help out instead given the price Setterfield would still command. I'd expect if there's a chance of him leaving we will be enquiring.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Clay Smith? 55 games in 7 years, none this year. He's cooked

Agreed, I wouldn't touch him.
