2017 trade hypothetical thread

[HairyO]

Except all our draftees from 2016 have signed on until 2020???

Boyd was in his first year wasnt he?

And did GCS really sign up all 2016 kids on 4 year contracts? That is absolutely insane. And how on earth can the kids all have agreed to that?

 

[JRyan23]

Tom Lynch is captain of the club and by all reports was happy to sign on from his current deal about a month ago, but that was before the horror run and sacking of Eade. Still reckon he will stay but never know

McKenzie is the type of player a team in premiership contention should target.

If he's just in the side to use that weapon of a boot, he'll be handy, but he can't do much else.

Wouldn't mind him taking the kick ins on a small SCG.....

Yep all four signed pretty much two weeks into arriving due to liking the way the club was run as well as facilities. All signed till end of 2020

Rubbish. A third of all players dont make it to 3 years and they got 4 years without lifting a finger.

The club is desperate to stop the exodus and has to pay a huge premium.

That is a sign of a desperate club not a sign of stability.

And I would put money on at least one of them asking for a trade anyway.

What's their other option??? Honestly?

For their sake I hope it's Scrimshaw who wants out.... don't rate him even close to where they took him

Expect one of those players to look at options this year.

 

[Prem17]

Darling is a strong bodied young KPP whilst as good as Gibbs is he is 29 going on 30. Might have 2 Years left at his best.

My point is that Darling's best is nowhere near that of Gibbs

 

[JRyan23]

I don't understand all you blokes just speaking down on the Suns, they have signed to the club for a reason. All you blokes say is 'they'll leave anyway' or whatever. No none of those players will look at options at the end of the year and maybe one leaves in 3 years, but the point is they have signed to the Suns for 4 years, no reason to keep having a shot at the club

Re-sign cop criticism, let blokes walk cop criticism, I suppose we are very easy targets, just easy to beat up on.

 

[kane249]

Potential is in the eye of the beholder

Just like Jarrod Waite

 

[Nutjob]

Didn't Birch flat out refuse to bee traded last offseason? Or am I thinking of someone else.

That was breust I believe

I disagree with Darling being worth more than McGovern but anyways. With West Coast being in mediocre land ladder wise you'd think they have to make some bold trades and try something to get out of being mediocre.

Bold bu atttracting talented midfielders.


Bolstering an area of strength makes zero sense

Quality may simply need to be built at the draft

 

[Rimmer]

Each of us knows what we need to make our club better but we either overvalue our own players or want to trade people we don't want for elite players at other clubs. Let's try something outside the box ... Jack Watts could fit into a number of clubs looking for a tall forward and utility player, not sure i see any glaring needs at Melbourne, what do Melbourne need that they could trade for Jack Watts?

 

[Thetrader15]

Just like Jarrod Waite

Chris Mayne

 

[Lazza16]

Chris Mayne

Who did Adelaide eventually get in the Tippett deal ?

Key defender. That's why they're chasing Lever.

GC lose players who refuse to sign

'What a weak and spineless club, stands for nothing can't retain young players no one wants to play there'

GC sign a bunch of highly rated kids to 4 year deals

'Idiotic decision making these kids have done nothing signs of a desperate club'

Never change Bigfooty

 

[Pea Nut]

They got a bloke named Draft Sanctions. He went alright. 100 times better than Chris Mayne on 500K a year for four years.

 

[buttermuffs]

Sorry u can keep clay Smith

Yeah like we are giving up 18 for clay smith. CC is the only player I'd do that for (in reasonableness.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

If Darling is worth more than McGovern, why do so many West Coast fans want to delist him on the spot every week ?? He has copped a huge amount of flack this year, and if he was really any good, he would be 'untouchable' from a trade point of view. Yet those same West Coast fans seem to have a huge amount of interest in trying to bring in McGovern ??? Doesn't make much sense ??

Rubbish it's just fans taking out frustration . Darling is better than mitch McGovern in every way except marking .

Then why the huge interest in McGovern on big dollars ??

We got rid of Tippett and Trigg

 

[Thetrader15]

Rubbish it's just fans taking out frustration . Darling is better than mitch McGovern in every way except marking .

...and performing in finals (even if he hasn't played in many yet)

 

[Groin guru]

Would suit your club in my opinion. If you can make ted richards become a good player you can do it to anyone. I agree. His kick straight down the middle of the SCG could be a weapon.
