2019 Trade thread

[Dylan12]

So Gerard, Robbo and Bob all put their hands up when asked if Daniher would be at the Sydney Swans next year.

Make of that what you will.

Anyone from adelaide we want?

 

[Elixuh]

Article out today suggesting Laird to Geelong. Some at Geelong must be taking significant unders.

No way Geelong have the salary to do that, secondly think they're after Mids like Stevens & Higgins before Laird. Still confused why Laird would move, he is an Adelaide raised boy with all friends and family in SA. Mind you though, can see us getting one of Laird or Smith. Greenwood, yuck, no thanks.

 

[LIONS08]

Would we be prepared to offer up both GC pick we receive and collingwoods first for Laird? He is a bloody decent player!!

 

[Billy Puller]

I believe this is what I was talking about, straight from the "horses mouth" as it were. And yes I know exactly who you are.

I’m an Ipswich survivor please don’t talk down to me for cheap internet points thanks mate.

I am still in recovery from my Ipswich ordeal.

He would be nice but I think it won’t happen no

Sign at Geelong, get a bonus car dealership IIRC.

Pyke stepping down as coach. Lets see what player movement happens now?

 

[scott_the_man]

Laird is a good player don't get me wrong - but am I the only one who thinks he is a touch overrated and a bit of a stat padder?
I would be all for him at the right price, but I don't think he is worth the price tag some are suggesting. Brodie Smith in my oponion is a much better proposition, he is a real weapon when up and going and I think our medicos will be able to keep him on the park.

I would take Smith over Laird too, Smith is a year older but I think this year he showed how dangerous he is after a long term injury. If I was a Lions fan I'd be thinking our premiership window is in the next few years so getting Smith in and retaining Tom Cutler would be my highest priorities.

I would have to disagree, I do agree Smith would be a fantastic get and I would be stoked to land him however I would rather us target Laird if we had to choose between the two. Ideally I would land both though

Nice new account Dylan.

Personally I’d love to bring in Fogarty, future Gun!

He would certainly be my pick of those listed. Ready to go, serious competition for Mcstays spot.

 

[SizeMatters]

Heard whisper we have two players line up at this stage. One almost certain to come. Not sure who they are though but guess would be the Suns player Ah Chee.

Ford are gone. Peugot anyone?

That would be quite funny if 2 yrs down the track we ended up getting in the player that was picked with pick 12 that we gave up for Charlie.
I would imagine a pick in the early 20’s would nearly get it done now? Maybe the GC pick?
But I very much doubt he leaves S.A.

Sounds like media garbage. Why would a born and bred SA boy want to leave the Crows after two years? Did someone there p*ss him off, or did he just grow up as a diehard Port fan or something?

Particularly when he is going to get more playing time once Jenkins is shipped out.

 

[Lace Out]

There’ll be a few Adelaide player managers taking the opportunity to leverage but in the end there won’t be an exodus..probably only one more than the usual movement you get

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Adelaide will offload a few but they won't willingly give up much quality.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Noticed Aaron Francis is uncontracted. Would we be interested? Was a Lions fan growing up.

 

[Jivlain]

Off to the GIANTS then

I think it was his deceased brother who was a lions fan.
