SPS and just a gut feel Fisher may want out.
Buy low, sell high. Especially when the product seems like it could "run out" at any minute. Gotta be ruthless with list management - no place for favouritism or attachment.heck while we are at it lets just trade Mckay cripps walsh setterfield fisher kemp philp sps as well.
What, to you, is the "right price"?I'd trade Charlie Curnow if the price was right.
There, I said it.
Come at me.
Just an example but if it nets us a proven A-grade mid in their prime and a high draft pick (therefore you'd hope a second quality player), it seems prudent to trade away an excess asset (key fwd) for that.What, to you, is the "right price"?
For the record, I agree, but interested to get your thoughts on what he's worth.
yeh spot on, this is what i was talking about when i asked the questionBuy low, sell high. Especially when the product seems like it could "run out" at any minute. Gotta be ruthless with list management - no place for favouritism or attachment.
Given the tall forwards we have, would you not entertain a hypothetical high draft pick and A-grade midfielder for one C. Curnow? I think you'd be mad not to think long and hard about it.
Charlie Curnow if you could get a Matt Rowell, Zac Williams or good, experienced mid?? Worry about his body and still very valuable as a trade commodity.
Remember, flags often won with depth and even spread, not by stars necessarily.
Arguable whether Charlie and Harry can both play in forward line together anyway.
Only player I can think of that would be capable of generating another quality mid which could really set us alight...
Out of Harry, Charlie, Casboult, McGovern and JSOS, my ideal 3-4 are McKay, Charlie, Casboult and JSOS, in that order, so yes McGovern fifth.Charlie Curnow if you could get a Matt Rowell, Zac Williams or good, experienced mid?? Worry about his body and still very valuable as a trade commodity.

Agree with this. We have a list that is still developing and a team that is improving as the season progresses.I don't agree that we need to trade players, especially players who have ability but no currency. We can trade picks over a three year cycle now. If we want a player, pay up with picks. I'd like to see SPS, Dow, O Brien, Cuningham, Stocker, JSOS and Fisher, Walsh, Kemp, Curnow, Weitering, McKay, Williamson, Philip, Setterfield and Kennedy, TDK, Pitt play together for a solid chunk of time in their prime (24-30). We might lose one or two when they are more established footballers at 25-26 and actually have currency or they get offered huge contracts from a club below us.
You then think about the current mid aged players, McGovern, Cripps, Docherty, Martin, Marchbank, Plowman. You target a free agent like Williams (fingers bloody crossed), Viney and others in the future, target a ready made gun via trading picks or continue to target youth via the draft and back in organic growth and a steady stream of talent filtering through in every age bracket moving forward. I mean we have a lot of talent already. I back the youth we have brought in via the draft and think our future success will be dependent primarily on them as our core.
Intriguing.Buy low, sell high. Especially when the product seems like it could "run out" at any minute. Gotta be ruthless with list management - no place for favouritism or attachment.

Would be crazy not to. It's Oliver and Papley.Intriguing.
Two A Graders then maybe.
Say
Oliver and Paps.
Maybe.
I reckon we are 12 months away from making those calls. Get our targets in this year and let it settle.Agree with this. We have a list that is still developing and a team that is improving as the season progresses.
I think it’s still too early to make calls on holes in the list- they may (or will) become evident when we become a serious contender. Personally I wouldn’t be trading anyone unless they want to leave, or an extremely talented player wants to come to us.
We are still young, talented and most importantly on an upward trajectory. Team cohesion and loyalty is really important. I’d be loathe to disrupt that for some naff trades instigated by the club.
There is a huge upside no doubt but as Shandog has said... maybe if we got enough A grade quality back, it might be worth considering.Us having both Charlie and Harry fit and firing and playing in the forward line would be an absolute nightmare for opposition defenders. Have Charlie close to goal and Harry roaming around the 50 kicking it in to him.
There's plenty to be gained by having them both in the team. Fingers crossed that Charlie can get back to playing at the same level that he was before the injuries.
What's new pussycat?Looking at the Tiges last night - the only players that were acquired from another club was Nankervis, Houli, Lynch & Prestia - while its an impressive quartet - compare that to what the cats brought in - and how many players did tigers give up? (An ageing deludio and a few delistings of fringe players (ellis, miles)
Why do we need to give away a player to win a flag?
