Just finished dinner and what a riveting conversation with a friend of a player manager whos info in the past has been pretty solid.
Lever fielding alot of interest from vic clubs. Using it as leveridge in his new deal with adelaide. Doesnt want to leave. Unless we completely low ball him or he gets a 5 year million doallar a year deal hes staying.
Mcgovern is staying. Wants to repay the club.
Josh Kelly is weighing up his options between north and adelaide. Gws cant match the huge offers. Apparently our deal to him is massive and larger than anybody in our team has atm. Close to a million dollars a year and in the vicinity of 7 years.
Otten is fielding interest from collingwood. But is likely to stay a crow.
For arguments sake.. because I find trade period fantasy so fun.
Andy Otten to Collingwood for 3rd rounder compo
Our first and 2018 2nd and Douglas for Josh Kelly.
2018 first and Mackay for Gibbs.
Use our 3rd rounders times 2 to get Edwards FS.
Upgrade Keath and Greenwood, retire Thompson.
Out: Thompson, Mackay, Otten, Douglas, Gore.. but who will be our whipping boy now?
In: Kelly, Gibbs, Greenwood, Keath, Edwards, 2nd rounder (short 2017 list)
Likely team and depth..
Luke Brown ~ Kyle Hartigan ~ Jake Lever
Rory Laird ~ Daniel Talia ~ Bryce Gibbs
Brodie Smith ~ Rory Sloane ~ Josh Kelly
Tom Lynch ~ Taylor Walker ~ Charlie Cameron
