2018 Trade and FA thread (opposition supporters post in Trade Hypotheticals thread)

Why dont we look at preuss from north as a backup for stef? from queensland and is very young.

From what i have seen he will be one of the best rucks in the comp in a few years time.

I have mentioned this before, I like the idea of at least asking the question. We are turning into a destination club. IMO you need 3 full time rucks in your squad, Stef only has a year or 2 left and then you have the big O and Archie and the jury is still out on him.

But what happens when you ask North?

You never know, depends what we are offering, they'd probably say no if I had to guess, no harm in asking jack, I like the little bits I have seen of him.

They offer someone a million dollars. It's like a shitty version of lotto - someone gets a lot of money but they have to play for North.

No but he's contracted so it's not as simple as going 'Hey Brayds, wanna play for Brisbane?'.

The likelihood is he's worth more to North than he is to us, especially if he is going to be one of the best rucks in the league in a few years like suggested.

What do you think he will cost us, considering he will be one of the best rucks in the comp in a few years time?

For what?

Thought he was a supposed flight risk, wants to head back to W.A

I dunno. But he’d be a good get for us.

I don't like the idea f going after him personally. I'm also not sure who would miss out in the team for him considering we get Charlie back next year and (what looks like) a top 5 pick as well.

 

[briztoon]

Brayshaw resigns for 4 years.

I can't comment if I like the idea or not. I'd like to know what logic or reasoning the poster is suggesting Shai for Brisbane before I comment on the validity of their suggestion. As you imply in your response a trade has implications on our list. I'd like to hear what considerations have been given to the suggested trade, thus the question "why?"

Honestly not sure at this stage, he isnt getting a game which is a bonus considering he was for much of last season but north will want him when goldy retires so could be worth a bit.

 

[Papa Caz]

Why, we have big studdly O

Big O needs to beef up soon. he legit needs to just eat and get in that gym.

 

[Papa Caz]

He is contracted to North I believe. They see him as Goldsteins replacement. Plus we do have The Big O who only debuted this year and is showing good signs. Can't see us going after Preuss or wanting to give up what it would cost to get him.

O needs to put on weight otherwise he is gonna get pushed out of the way by the likes of gawn and goldy

 

[Dalions]

The lions website has him listed at 107kg???

Why? What is your reasoning.

Max Gawn - Currently recognized as the best ruck-man in the AFL is listed at 208 cm Weight 109kg
Brody Grundy - Currently recognized as the heir-apparent is listed at 203cm weight 102kg

Oscar McInerney - Currently listed at 204cm 107kg
Pretty much ideal and in line with the best of modern day ruck-man.

Personally I think he needs to improve his tank so he can ruck for longer

 

[Dalions]

He is currently in the team as the second ruck. Spending the majority of his time in the forward line.
He doesn’t need to ruck for any longer yet! He gets around the ground pretty well for a big fella. He will probably never be another Stef as far as disposals around the ground go.
His strength will be as a tap ruckman.

 

[irel]

What's a bit, is it the same as motza?
I interpret "worth a bit" in AFL trading terms as top 10 draft pick maybe first rounder in the teens.
What do you say we should pay for him?

 

[brutus76]

If Jack Riewoldt hasn't signed you have to ask.
Promise him the goalsquare. 2 or 3 years on good money.
Would kick 55-100 each year.

He is already on record saying he is staying and they are finalising the details. He wont be leaving Richmond.

 

[M Malice]

I personally would be very much in favor of going after Shai Bolton, he can't get a game for the Tigers so would come reasonably cheap ie. 3rd-4th rounder. Another high pressure goal kicking small forward would come in as handy depth at the least. He was pretty highly rated by some in his draft year.

Surely cant be right, theres nothing of him
