Yeah tough trade to get your head around for both teams. Say you added Cerra and Rankine to your already star studded midfield... Now wouldn't that be exciting for a long time.
Although looking at that we should be adding something like our 2nd round pick (currently 32) back to Freo.
 
Cerra/Brayshaw and 5 for Hogan?

I don’t think Dockers would do that. If Cerra said he didn’t want to stay maybe, but I think dockers have 3 options. Hogan/MM/Lobb (Lobb a maybe), surely you could get one of them without offering the your first and your most promising rookie.

Of those 3 though, Hogan is the only one that can kick 50 goals a year for the next 8 years.

Yeah, though you team one of them up with Cox while keeping Cerra and whoever they pick up this year, looks a lot better than Hogan and Cox. Of course the only way to get Hogan is if he wants to come home so that’s why I mention him.
 
Cerra/Brayshaw and 5 for Hogan?
Nope. Navicular injuries are terrible. Last study done into them out of Melbourne (the city, not the club) shows that athletes never have pain free full function again (at least to the five year post injury average the study was testing).

He would need to consent to a medical, as would Melbourne, including radiological examination of both feet and ankles and any sign of fracture would have me put a line through him.

But that's just a medical view. I'm sure the gut feel of other sports fans will argue that point.

Essendon: Out: Laverde In: StKilda 2019 second round pick
St Kilda: In Laverde Out: 2019 2nd round pick

Then

Essendon In Dylan Shiel, Out 2019 First Round Pick & 2019 (Saints) second Round Pick
GWS Out Dylan SHiel in 2019 first (EFC) & Second (Saints) Round picks
 
Adelaide
Out: pick 8, Mcgovern, pick 44
In: Pick 1

Carlton
Out: Pick 1
In: Dayne Beams, Mitch Mcgovern, pick 44, pick 41

Brisbane
Out: Dayne Beams, pick 41
In: pick 8

I think all 3 teams would be happy with that? Adelaide giving up a fair bit but they get Lukosious. Carlton get 2 established guns and a couple of picks. Lions get a top 10 pick for Beams who is on the way out in the near future anyway.

Carlton might need a little extra from Brisbane. Pick 1 has some serious value this year I reckon.

Wouldn’t do it if I was Carlton

Main concern is that McGovern to me really isn't an established gun. Promising, talented, yep. Established gun? Not quite.

While Beams, who should be an 2018 AA mid and is an absolute star, probably isn't quite in the right age bracket or injury history for us to justify using pick 1 on him.

Would love Beams but think it's probably too risky to use pick 1 on him and McGovern who both have a few too many question marks on them. I think with Carltons list we need to play it safer especially with the apparent high value some clubs are putting on the early picks this year.

Overall not a bad hypothetical in my opinion but that's just my perspective from our end of the trade - concerns more so over McGovern probably than Beams.

Reckon Beams would be huge for a couple of years to take the load off Cripps. Maybe not at the expense of losing pick 1 though.

Agreed. We would be looking to sweeten the deal our way I think, whether or not Brisbane would do so is another question. Would definitely love Beams especially if Murphy stops being an absolute crab.

I would give a second for laverde. What a refreshing change to see a trade proposal that doesn't involve the blatant pillaging of another club!

Ahh what?

Nah mate Walsh is the superior player here in terms of age and upside. He is worth more than what you are offering. Pick one is gold and you are giving silver in return.
