The difference is we really can't afford to lose Keath.

You underestimate what he brings to the team
We got 2 x 1sts from them for a floating intercept defender.
I guess they’ve realised he’s not a key defender and now they need to back to the market.

Anyone playing as an intercepting half back at Adelaide looks like a champion.
We’ve lost nothing in losing Lever. He’s average and taking a big pay cheque off of Melbourne.

JFC, what is wrong with Melbourne, is SOS outsourcing?
Maybe they think Keath can play forward, I reckon he could.

So would you give up a top 5 pick...even with 19 back, to play him in the F50? I like Keath, think he has done a great job this year but he isn't playing a role you'd go to the bank with cap in hand over; especially for a role he isn't playing.
I'm happy for them to do it though
No you wouldn’t say no to a top 5 pick for a 28 year old Keath but we aren’t getting that for Keath.

So what are they trading?
I mean we are talking about a guy who will definitely be in the AA extended squad, possibly the team and they are going to offer 600k to get him. Isn't like they can say they will get him for free in the draft, no way he goes into, no way they let him if they are thinking 600k per season.
At the moment it’s speculation, I suspect when push comes to shove they won’t pursue him if the cost is too high
Him and Hugh in the same boat there. I wonder if our footy dept guys take this into account? In terms of earning potential, these 2 are pretty unique beasts.
Timing is important though. Talia will probably play for 2 more years on good coin. Can we afford to keep Keath as well given we’ll be needing to pay big coin. Might squeeze Harto out which I think will be a problem as Talia is better when Harto is in the side and that’s not reducing as Talia’s body ages.
If you think they are going to push all of those 4 out you obviously don't know our club. Yes they should .

I would trade either Hartigan or Talia if it came to that to keep Keath.
Package Greenwood and Keath maybe. Got a feeling that Hugh will be gone given his public statement that he’s ready to sign but has heard nothing from the club. His manager will be receiving preliminary offers as we speak.
I’ve got a feeling this year might be different, outside of Wilson and Hunter, our 2s is full of young talent who look like they have a plausible career ahead of them.
Not sure he’s that crucial, he’s very good though obviously.
Jordy Butts is putting together an excellent season in the 2’s and he is most similar in size and style to Keath. 198cm, good intercept mark and very good ground/play making/decision making skills.
Currently we don’t have anyone developing that is more a Talia/Hartigan type and that’s something we need to address.
I’ve no doubt the preference is to keep Keath, but if Melb blow us out of the water on salary + agree a reasonable trade it won’t be a bad outcome.
Keath cost us nothing, is 27 and unlikely to play anymore than 100 games at best. Turning him into a good 1st round pick won’t be the end of the world
It was funny when he got isolated one on one against Mason Cox

This is actually the club's bread and butter for getting good draft picks if we insist on a non-bottoming out policy.
Draft and develop players the best we can who either stay or net us some good picks to either have access to classier players to draft or trade for players of need who want to come to us.
Wouldn't be surprised if the club has thought about and arrived at this conclusion quite some while ago.
Noticed how we seem to have more premium draft picks the last few years? The end result of players like Lever, Cameron and McNuggets very much follow this script - and we'd have had another 2 r1 picks had we not gone for Gibbs.
When we will be in trouble is if we cannot identify, bring in and develop talent and no one wants our players.

North, in the best draft of ten years, traded a first for Polec.
Anything is possible
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
It's not a case of underestimating. My bet is this form is a fluke, a career year from someone who has never looked like a best 22 player before, and it's taken 8 years.
Equally to that, we will have to make a choice between Greenwood, and CEY this season as neither will be on depth wages anymore. I'd choose Greenwood every single day and twice on Sunday.

Not that I am for letting either go at all, but they would both be ideal for Gold Coast - Greenwood as the big bodied mid to help their younger mids and Keath as a very competent defender to help their younger guys out. What would both be worth as a package? - maybe their own 2019 1st rounder if we also included our 2nd rounder (not the carlton one)
