2017 Trade and FA thread

How much of a goal kicker is Cameron? Heard he gets a lot of 0 and 1 and 2 goals but never 3/4 etc.

Have you not seen him play? Blistering pace. Creates a lot of goals for Adelaide. Trying to think who would be quicker than him in the AFL?

Yep, creates many more than he kicks.

He's kicked 4 three times, and 3 three times (in 61 games). His game at Adelaide has been built more on defensive pressure and tackling, but keep in mind that (a) he's young (pretty much all of his key numbers have improved each year) and more importantly (b) he's playing in a forward line with Walker, Jenkins, Lynch and most significantly Betts, so goals get rationed around a bit. If he comes to Brisbane he steps in straight away as our main small forward (Christensen will rotate through the midfield), at the feet of young tall forwards who make plenty of contests but aren't yet clunking that many of them, so you'd expect more opportunities.

Has played 61 games for 76 goals and averaging 12 disposals and 3.7 tackles per game. Of note is that his disposals and tackles have been gradually tracking upwards, this year averages- disposals 14.5 tackles- 4.4.

I have, not a lot. But it is usually the Eddie show over there who gets em all.

Yep, creates many more than he kicks.

fantastic

It really is a perfect opportunity for us if it comes off. Queenslander, genuine quality with further untapped potential, comes from an elite club environment, addresses a serious deficit in our team and fits our age profile beautifully.

He also has an existing relationship with our footy manager and we will also have the trade currency to bring him in without significantly compromising our existing draft plans.

I'm really besotted with the idea.

But lets face it.
He plays in a forward line with Betts, Walker, Jenkins, McGovern. He doesnt need to kick them when he sets them up.

Almost to good to be true!

 

[Simba Moyo]

He went to school in Brisbane for a while FWIW.

Very true. A mate of mine actually went to school with him

Would be fantastic, then we just need to pull of the coup of the century and pull Josh Kelly from under the noses of the Melbourne clubs. 900K per season and the keys to Springfield and an apartment off Oxford Street should get Josh over the line.

 

[Cockliff38]

I like the idea of playing an "all-in" set-up at various stages in games, like Melbourne use now and Port used in the 2014 prelim against Hawthorn.

Having Zorko, Cameron and potentially Cox streaming forward off the back of the centre square would be delish.

Would be happy with Hopper or Parish.

Calm down we will all get our biscotti.

I fear the gif coming out again.

Ultimate win/win. Unless we dont land him.

Whitecross to come in for a year or two and progress to coaching role? Highly rated at the Hawks for off field stuff and just being a great professional bloke. Would give our backline some much needed experience. Cutler, Mayes, Witherden etc. would absolutely love to learn off him. If he wants to he could transition into coaching seamlessly IMO.

Cameron would be a perfect recruit for obvious reasons. Forward half pressure being extremely important in todays game.

Wouldn't say no to Trengrove from the Dees either. Would be extremely cheap with potential to be low risk-high reward type selection. A natural leader, great with setting standards etc. Have heard reports he has lost a lot of conditioning and speed though although that was last year after few years out of the game. Could have improved this year maybe with more continuity?

 

[bungalow_bill]

The irony if the Cameron trade falls over when we've almost got him penciled in for round 1 - would be the anti-Schache

 

[Hollow Knight]

Whitecross has never had any interest in coming back sadly.

 

[Cockliff38]

Cockatoo has re-signed with Geelong (two years), so there goes that hope

Don't mind really. I'm sure he'll be decent just injury prone and Geelong would probably still expect a bit for him.

 

[Carlos Danger]

I assume Cameron got or asked for #23 due to the fact that Andrew McLeod wore that number. May not have the same attachment to the number at another club.

23 goes to the best indigenous player at the crows. Previously was petrenko.

Never got caught up in that one. Underperformed and injury prone.

Poor man's Charlie Cameron

Eddie stiff then.

Young indigenous player
