I hope this is the case - I really want to see Betts finish his career with us - and i don't think he's entirely over the hill yet - I suspect he'll rise to the occasion especially if we are seen as flag contenders. Given the whole Gibbs=2 x 1st rounders, and more recently the Stocker Trade, I'm not so sure Adelaide will be lenient to us, I think they'll want to save some face.

I think SOS has done well to get it into the media several times now that he himself doesn’t want Betts and that only Teague does. So Reid and the Crows have to think that SOS will walk away from the negotiation if he doesn’t like the deal. So the Crows will face a tough decision on the last day - do they keep Eddie on $600K or whatever the amount is or do they pay part of his salary and free up more space to retain other players.

This is also SOS taking care of Betts as it does seem that Betts is willing to play for us for less than what he’s getting at the Crows so he could walk away from that deal. But why should he if SOS can still get the Crows to pay the difference?

Grundy is worth no less than two first rounders, which would mean we won't be getting Papley nor Martin.

 

[bigblueboy]

So where are we at with our potential targets?

Martin
Papley
Betts
Butler
Knight
Cutler

That's a big assumption on Adelaide's 'good will' considering they could hold Betts to his contract. They might decide to roll the dice on looking like A-Holes considering there will be big changes soon and it would soon be forgiven when they happen.

Think it was from the TAB event earlier today that he was there with along with Lynch & Patton.

Martin is a 2nd rd at best
Trade a couple of players for Papley

Will the AFL allow us to not have first or second rounders across 2 years?

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

7 years is nuts. He’d be 33 and would have spent 13 years being belted in the ruck, with at least the majority of his first seven years being essentially one out - and that scenario likely to continue for the foreseeable future. He’ll be in pieces by the time he’s 30.

His management look after Shiel, Lynch and obviously think they have the TM stamp on seven year deals. As good as he is Collingwood would be mad to cave on that. Given the likely discrepancy in trade value vs FA comp they should push for a trade now - unless they think they’re a chance of winning the flag of course (I hope they do think that).

He seems more durable than Kruez, how old is he now?

Why not offer Casboult + 41 for papley?

 

[Kruezing]

Grundy would equal no 17 at least ...

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

Why not offer Casboult + 41 for papley?

Swans would laugh

Would you except aliir and a 3rd for Fisher? and papley is a better player than Fisher.

C'mon man.

In fact, if I were SOS I would do;
- Pick 41 + casboult = papley
- Pick 9 and future 1st = Grundy/Oliver/Gaff + future 2nd
- Future 2nd = Martin

I would say the last scenario makes the most sense....but I would love Grundy or Oliver a lot more.

Alternatively, we offer the pies or Melbourne Casboult with our future 1st as they are both crying out for this sort of player.

Thoughts?

If we desperately needed an aliir aliir type perhaps. Casboult is a lot better than aliir and Fisher has potential to be a lot better than papley...

Swans in no way in the universe would do 41 and CAS for Papley

Swans need a forward and tell me who they get if Daniher stays at *?

Wot the **** are you smoking. Aliir is far better than Cas and still pretty young. Jeeeeezuz that's the worst trade of all time. Pick 9 and Casboult might still get rejected by the swans.

 

[JoeyPBLUES]

Daniher won’t stay at *. And that deal is nowhere near enough to get Papley. IF they wanted to that deal it’d be a second rounder and CAS as an absolute minimum. And even then we’d be winning on Paps. They’ll take our pick 8/9 and then whatever comes back our way if anything. Regardless of all the rubbish this time of year Paps is a jet worth pick 8 it’s fair.

We don’t need a defender, swans need a forward. It’s not about who the better player is, it’s about acquiring the necessary players...and Casboult would be valuable in that regard to them. I think a lot of people are underselling how well Casboult performed this year and his influence on games. He was a barometer at times.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I’ll repeat what isaid a few pages back.
If Grundy was in play I’d do;
Pk 9 and next yrs 1st = Grundy
Next yrs 2nd for Martin
Fisher and Dow = Papley

Without hesitation!
