List Mgmt. Welcome Campbell Chesser (Pick 14, 2021 National Draft)

[suntagonal]

Probably the best that we could hope for is a F2.

I doubt we'd be interested in either 34 let alone 44.

 

[BSD]

Def don’t want to see Chesser go

Has been mentioned a bit about the grubby mangers playing a big part & totally agree
The Yeo contract was all off driven by his manager and the club buckled.

We need to play hard ball if they want Chesser ,they can cough up Ashton Moir.
Recon he would be a upgrade on all our small forwards and Motlop

Can we send Owies back to Carlton in a salary dump ?

Banfield would be real cheap at pick 44

 

[mattyc75]

Not too fussed if he goes, shame if he leaves after he's shown something resembling a footballer but if we get a future 2nd I think that'd be ok.
Carlton could be worse next season..

 

[darksquare]

Look, I think the bloke has AFL-standard attributes. But we're not completely flush with list spots, and some players will have to make way for new draftees or mature trades. Would I be prepared to give all of Chesser's 2026 minutes to Willem Duursma? Yes I would.

 

[ziad]

Hope he stays, but he a permenant foot injury as reported. This is not ideal for a player whose pace is their stongest attribute. I could live with a favourable trade.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

and fetch us pick 40-odd in a relatively weak draft?
A pick we more than likely wont even use?

Nah

How is having to keep him for potentially 3 years a better outcome? He might turn out well, but he was still delist fodder halfway through the season.
Is it really worth it to trump Carlton's offer?

 

[WCErevival]

Can we send Owies back to Carlton in a salary dump ?

Send Owies back with dyed black hair and a spray tan. There's your Chesser.

 

[evans1863]

Future 2nd would be lovely - next years draft is meant to be one to target and Carlton aren’t gonna shoot up the ladder

 

[InTheWings]

I find it a bit ironic that when Chesser was interviewed Pre Draft, the club really rated his leadership and attitude. This may have been a factor in choosing to draft him.

Once he moved to Perth, there was more commentary around his great attitude. They also extended his first contract (after he suffered a serious injury).

Now he is finally over his injuries and starting to perform, he wants out.

Whereas Hobbs (Ess), a player we have been loosely connected to (and would have been available in the same draft) was considered a serious flight risk.

There is no sign that he wants out is there?

His manager, who is also Harley's manager BTW, mentioned last week that he is weighing up some offers from over east and will think about it on the footy trip.

 

[Shueygod]

Jesus Christ, Chesser is worth far more to us than a f2.

Would be a disastrous result if he was to leave.

 

[Cuzz09]

Chesser for Carltons death ride pick we could've had all year would be a funny twist

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Jesus Christ, Chesser is worth far more to us than a f2.

Would be a disastrous result if he was to leave.

I just assumed the F2 was in addition to the first they have to give us this year?

 

[Spange]

Jesus Christ, Chesser is worth far more to us than a f2.

Not really, disastrous is a famine impacting a nation of millions, caused by a plague of locusts wiping out crops

 

[KERRPOW]

Carlton can only have chesser if they agree to take owies back.

We dont even need to have a pick come back. Just take that campaigner back

 

[KERRPOW]

Jesus Christ, Chesser is worth far more to us than a f2.

Would be a disastrous result if he was to leave.

We'd be lucky to get a F3.

Out of contract,
Injury riddled at West coast,
Not an established in the best 23
Untill the last 6 weeks he was in the discussions on this board to be amongst the delistings.

I'd be spewing if he left after hes finally shown something half decent at AFL level.

 

[Tugga27]

Wow.

Didn't expect that over-reaction from you........

 

[SumaGodCoach]

Delist him and pick him up through the PSD at pick 1 on a chump salary just to teach him a lesson.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Him finally getting his body right and looking good only to leave would be a real kick in the teeth.

Do the right thing Chess x I can't handle both this and Petch in the same offseason.

Disagree, injury riddled former first round pick that’s shown high level afl attributes coming back from a season long injury.

A f3rd would do literally nothing for the eagles.

Wow.

I expected you to not be capable of walking back your opinion and being fine with him leaving rather than offering him a whole extra year.

I've already said I'd prefer it if we only offered a year, but looks as if we would have to offer him 2 to keep him.

I at least try to have a balanced view of him rather than your continued insane and embarrassing takes on him.

You keep on Banging on about him being a first round draft pick.
It means nothing in the scheme of things.
So was Jarrod Brander.

Would I rather keep him?
Yes.

Would I lose any sleep if he left.

Edit: What pick do you value him at?

 

[twce13]

Fair but of fomo with chesser I reckon, whilst I think it would suck to lose him I don’t think we’d be losing an future AA here.

That being said I’d certainly play hard ball with the blues. Hopefully he recommits tho .

I would not see any harm in offering him 3 if it meant keeping him, he clearly has the ability to play and the only possible question mark is injury.

What embarrassing or insane takes? That he’s worth more to us than a f2? Prior to his recent AFL run for the whole year the most complimentary thing I’ve had to say was that it’s too soon to write off the bloke.

I say he’s a first round pick as that’s indicative of his talent/potential, players that get taken in the first round are more likely to possess the athletic/football traits required to be good/elite players, Brander from the outside looking in appeared to be mental and not a similar case.

More importantly than where he was picked was across the last 4 games he’s shown to be an above average wingman despite only playing two seasons worth of games, in the worst team in history, coming back after a season long injury and still being 22.

I think we’d get a f2 in a trade, I also believe he’s far more valuable to us than that.

He’s shown absolutely everything that a top wingmen requires.

Aside from injury, what trait would you believe stops him from being a good footballer? Because I don’t see any particular weaknesses in his game based on his last 4 weeks.

 

[WCEswift]

If this **** leaves us after being injured for 4 years just as he get healthy, ill fist fight him at the airport as he leave

I think this is overrating Chess by a fair amount.

His last 4 weeks was solid not spectacular.

If you wanted me to be critical I would say he still went missing for long periods. He has an athletic profile, but not sure he has a footy brain.

I’d like him to stay but think it is probably still 50/50 that he is a solid role player or list clogger
