Interesting. Normally I'd say that would mean that you're probably more likely to trade them this year rather than next, as you can drive a harder bargain and get a better deal while someones contracted (that's if the talk of him wanting out is true). However hypothetically speaking, if Adelaide were to lose Lever & McGovern, would they refuse any trade on Cameron & hope to talk him around into staying beyond 2018.

Guess it depends on his reasons for wanting to leave, i.e. if there are family reasons clubs are "usually" more accommodating.
 
A genuine first string ruck and two developing options, one of whom is somewhat senior ready, is the right ruck mix. I wouldn't bother chasing a bloke to sit on the pine behind Martin and I don't think there's much market interest in ruckmen this year if we are hoping to trade Stef.

Nicholls is a decent player. Lazy but if he can overcome that he will have a good 6-8 years left in him IMO. He loves to tackle which is something we haven't had in a ruck for ever. I can understand why people wouldn't want him though. I highly doubt he'd be at the Suns next season anyway.
 
Might play out in some fashion:

Tom Rockliff – "Getting linked to Adelaide and Port Adelaide more and more in recent times. Last time I spoke to Brisbane they were reasonably confident he’d stay. Might stay but I’m unsure where he plays.

Charlie Cameron – Heavily linked to Brisbane and said to be initiating the move.

Jake Spencer a chance to come here? Would think he or Nicholls would be perfect pick ups. not sold on Smith or Oscar but definitely do have high hopes for Oscar just needs some time in the gym.

Oscar looks more likely than Spencer .....can do stuff up forward

Looking super fit... the job done on Gibbs has given a glimpse where Fagan will use him... that was one of the great negating tagger and go-with player over long periods of game time I have seen...(IMO, he could be better than Ling) ..Has the ability to work off the opposition more than most taggers and is dangerous running forward as he knows where the goals are...Did all right against West Coast...Interest for me is who he will line up against the Dogs.

Just feel like it would be a waste. He is arguably our best clearance player, not sure if we would want to use him for tagging. Remains to be seen if he could work off his opponent as he only got around 8 disposals iirc

If he could strike a bit more balance I can certainly see the benefit. For his first real go at it he did pretty well albeit a bit too defensively for my liking. To have the ability to win clearances on top of that makes him super valuable imo, not to mention making an opponent accountable Going forward with his marking. I think there's a hybrid role there that could be very beneficial especially as our young guys develop their defensive game
