Mega Thread 2013: Trade Hypotheticals

[TheTigerEffect]

There were rumours about this when Scully went there. Scully and Basti best mates iirc.

Yeah there were but the interest has "reignited" somewhat. Maybe it'll make Scully feel more comfortable up there...

Melbourne have apparently put pick 2 on the table, media are suggesting someone like Swallow.

Yeah, I wish

I see no problem with Melbourne putting the pick on the table just as with GWS putting pick 1 down. But what they will want for it I doubt any club is willing to pay, a ready made A grade medfielder who can get his own ball and has leadership skills.

Yeah, that's the killer. Realistically it would be a player that a club might think they're going to lose anyway for whatever reason, or a club like Adelaide who wants to 'buy in' to the draft. Then of course we have to convince the kid to come to us

Dayle Gartlett has been interview by North Melbourne twice this season.

 

[matt_bas]

Lenny Hayes, Simon Black, Daniel Kerr, Darren Glass, Adam Selwood, Dean Cox, Kane Cornes are all on the wanted list for GWS like they did with Cornes, Power, McDonald etc in first year.

If they could add Franklin and a couple of the above without giving up anything they would be in a good position to attract the premium talent with pick 1 as prospective recruits would feel they could improve rapidly.

Cox & Glass won't leave, Selwood will retire and most likely move to East Perth in a coaching role (from what I hear) as good as Kerr has been for us I wouldn't mind him moving on or retiring to free up some salary cap space.

Going to Melbourne may not be as bad as many make it out to be next season. If Melbourne can secure a good coach that will definitely help and when you consider that Hogan will be in, Clarke & Dawes actually on the field at the same time it will help. A lot of people seem to forget that Mitch Clarke was extremely unlucky not to win AA a few years back in the ruck (they only picked one ruckman that year), he also has a pretty large tank so can play further up the ground than Dawes or Hogan.

Personally think that Melbourne is a better prospect than heading to St Kilda

Both? Or one then the other if the first rejects the offer?

Apparently going at both.

Wingard are heading to the word straight swap for Armstrong is the word

Hooker'll stay, rejected a move home last year. pears i'm not too sure about, If fletcher retires he should feel confident in his job security

Nice fantasy, do you intend to publish?

That was before all of the bullshit why hasn't he signed?

 

[Sydswans0512]

How about Jesse White then?

 

[Zach Package]

That was before all of the bullshit why hasn't he signed?

maybe he's just putting it off until the end of the season? it's not that unreasonable to suggest he want to say and just hasn't put pen to paper is it?

 

[Asgardian]

How about Jesse White then?

Isn't he a crowbot?

 

[Sydswans0512]

Isn't he a crowbot?

Na he wasn't good enough for them Shaun Mckernan has way more upside

 

[Sainter93]

Wants to stay in Melbourne and apparently StKildas offer is about 250k over Richmonds a season.

Why would St Kilda offer a huge amount for Martin to come, when they wouldn't do the same for Goddard?

 

[Asgardian]

Not in this man's league.

Daniel Stewart going back to Queensland?
24 year old, 199cm, 36 games

 

[The Finger]

Goddard is 28 while Martin will come up with the next group.

 

[Sydswans0512]

Goddard is 28 while Martin will come up with the next group.

They were saying he has been offered 520k I'd try and sign him for 5 years @ 650k a year

Port to have a crack at Sam Day?

 

[kickballfoot]

Say Choco Williams gets the Melbourne gig and Dustin Martin wants to go with him for $$$
Dustin Martin for Pick 2.
Who says no?

 

[Asgardian]

Port to have a crack at Sam Day?

It would be nice, but unlikely.

The talk over here was that he hated Port Adelaide as a junior footy fan, things like that change, but still??????

Also the Suns would not give him up easy or cheap.
