What is the Trade Whisperer's accuracy like? I remember all sorts of stuff flying around during trade period last year, but has anybody actually gone through and checked the rumours he posts against actual outcomes?

So you got the trade whisperer saying we're offering a million dollars to a guy and Kane Cornes saying we're in a worst cap position than Port with no room to move. Good lord, who do I believe?
If one of them called heads, the other tails, the coin would land on its side.

Hell yeah you would. Forget about the right terms. If we can get him we should do it. We should go hard and offer overs. Worst case we force a melbourne club to pay him more than they would have otherwise.

Caro said a few weeks back that we aren't any worse off than most other clubs salary cap wise, As default I disregard anything Kane says.

Would love Kelly. But he isn't a free agent though is he?

Warchest trade:
-Kelly (on a lucrative deal) for our 2017 First (pick17) and 2nd (pick 38)

Bonus Geelong mode:

-Trade 2018 first for Gibbs, maybe some late picks shifting around

Adelaide yearly walkout special:
-McGovern to Freo for their first (say Pick 8) [could use this pick by itself to get Kelly]

Daddy's boy:
Get Edwards with 3rd round draft pick (pick 54, maybe more depending on how we shuffle picks)

Trade candy:
-Try and get a pick 30-50 by trading one of Kelly, Otten, CEY, Menzel, Dear, Cheney....Mackay?

Kelly is not a free agent. He's require us to give GWS two first round picks

It would take a good offer. From all reports, kangaroos have offered Kelly 9 million over 9 years or something.

IMO, that's unders.
Think Alistair Lynch from Brisbane. Pay will skyrocket over the next few years.

It depends. What NM are offering is already bordering on the ridiculous. What if he does an ACL or spends the next 9 years with persistent injuries.

If there was a prospect that he could go to the draft and only 1 club was willing to take the risk then he could potentially go in the draft and be taken with that clubs final pick.

If we were prepared to offer say $12m over 9 years and NM say no thats too much then GWS wouldnt have much of a bargaining position. I think the longer the contract offer the less chance of another club stealing the player in the draft. With 4 or 5 year contracts all bets are off and GWS can really demand a good trade in return.

Would Kelly even get a game with all our organic growth? :eek:

Hopefully North Melbourne are his other major suitor. Confident no one good would want to go there.
Maybe it's just me but I find it funny that norf are trying to swing the cash around acting like they are a destination club. Norf is the mingas chick at the bar that even when you are drunk you don't go for.

Wasn't ******* Kane bangin on the other week about how all the crap that had been written about Ports bursting salary cap was now no longer an issue because of the new CBA and they were on easy street contracts wise. The CBA musta had a few Pear specific clauses written into it. We've been hoodwinked again I tells ya!

edit... wow, so dipsh!t gets censored these days, there you go!

Kelly's Dad played at North and the kid was (is?) a diehard supporter which along with the supposed godfather offer must give them some chance.

Intruiged why McGovern is constantly being linked to go to Freo from our posters. Is it because we think Freo will have a better pick to give us therefore he's going there??

Honestly he's not going to Freo unless his brother will be playing there in 2018.

McGovern will stay here or will go to the Eagles.

In his draft year he said playing for Freo like his Grandad (?) was his life long dream

Or some shit
