Picking fringe players for value trades to fill a need is a very good strategy. Hawks do this very well also

We have jetta , cripps , vardy , yeo , redden all value trades apart from redden and all played in a premiership .

Do you even watch us? None of Jetta, Cripps and Yeo were fringe players or value trades. Vardy was the only one on the outer at his former club and that was because of injury.

It's Freo however that think players like Conca and Menadue will be an integral part of a future flag.
 
Point has been well made by others, but it's worth repeating: the longer AFL Trade Eon drags on, and the longer essentially irrelevant trades continue to remain unfulfilled.. the better our boys look for getting the Kelly deal done as quickly as they did. Props.


Much better than delaying with all the moving parts thats happening

All were value players . Do you even google before you post .
Yeo was a speculative pick when drafted who showed he was afl quality at brisbane for pick 28 - value
Jetta who had been in a form slump for his last 2 years at swans for sinclair - value
Cripps pick 24 2 years earlier for a pick in the 40s equivalent - value

We must have different opinions on value trade .

Vardy was a late pick but is shit and we were lucky he hit form at the right time .

Conca cost them nothing but salary which freo have a lot of . He was best 22 at richmond

None of them were fringe players, that's my point. It wasn't like we were giving Brisbane pick 28 for a player who wasn't best 22 in the case of Yeo, for example. If you meant value trades by parting with lte picks, then sure, but that's not how I interpreted your initial post when you were initially responding to Freo allegedly being interested in a fringe player.
 
What a load of shit.

Betts, one of the best small forwards in the AFL despite his age, traded for a packet of Mento's.

He kicked more goals (37) this year than all of our forwards bar Darling and Kennedy.

Harley Bennell. I'm gonna keep banging on about Harley Bennell. We should be into Harley Bennell.

Harley tore a calf muscle just by you typing his name, his bodies that fragile

Gee Betts only for a 2020 fourth rounder back to Carlton.
Still a handy player despite being 33 next season.

David King has anti this from the outset. Apparently Carlton are losing the plot bringing in a 33 year old.

No, Kingy. They are bringing in a guy for nothing who is still performing to a high standard and is highly respected for his leadership qualities with young indigenous players. And he is an ex Carlton player. They're not bringing him in because they think he is the only way forward to winning games.

Betts is pretty much finished IMO. Assuming his salary went with him that's not a bad move by Adelaide.

Yep this. I imagine Adelaide have cleared a fair chunk of cap there - hence the low trade.

Somewhat win-winish - he will be an important cog to the squad at Carlton even if he doesn't get on the park a whole heap.

Yeah fair call, but Betts output in 2019 eclipses what Lecras put up in both 2017 and 2018.

He's definitely on the outer, but for a 4th rounder Adelaide might not even end up using is a bit stiff. I'd have asked for a 3rd if i was the Crows.

12 of Betts' goals came flat tracking against Gold Coast. Lecras also had the support of Cripps, Rioli and Ryan so didn't need to put up huge numbers as our number one small forward.
 
Apparently Wines camp had asked Carlton to make an offer. The pies are shopping around 3-4 players to fit in their ruckman. Just goes to show how much of a tight ship we run with not shopping players around and going out and getting a gun player in.
I think they should let Grundy go. The issue with he and Gawn, is that they get lots of hot outs but not enough to advantage. Sandilands had the same issue. I don't feel they offer enough more than a competent ruckman, to be able to demand being one of the top 3 players on the list. Pies would be much better off throwing that money at a key forward (if they can find one).

You only need to look at the demo jobs Vardy and Lycett did on Gawn and Grundy in last year's finals to see how readily they can be brought back to the realm of a standard ruckman.

I dont see any difference in eddie to carlton compared to mitchell to wce .

Adelaide want a fresh start and to bring in youth . Eddie wont be part of their next flag tilt and it frees up a massive chuck of salary to chase grundy next year with a godfather offer collingwood cant match .

Now that would melt the big footy servers
