2019 Trade thread

[Brett C]

Not sure Greenwood would be that much of a boost, coming off an ACL and hitting the 30...Could be wrong though.

Think you might mean Levi greenwood from the pies. Hugh Greenwood from Adelaide will be 28 next year, one advantage is that he only started in the AFL in 2016 so doesn’t have the miles or knocks that a lot of players his age have.

He’s not a superstar but still a good B grade type player the Suns desperately need.

 

[Fitzroy bears]

Perhaps go and watch some Adelaide games. He would immediately be the quickest player in our back line and has a huge kick. Can play wing as well. We badly need someone who can give us run out of defence.

Hate to be the kill joy but let's be honest.....he won't have to break any sprint records to beat the likes of witho, rich, Gardiner, Adams and Andrews. They are not the fastest bunch and all though I like the idea of getting smith....I wouldn't be putting him in the "lightning" category either. Imo I think Laird is faster and would gladly take either cause I think they both have skills that fill a need

Hate to break it to you but Rich regularly hits top 5 quickest speeds on the afl tracking app in our games.

Agree we need a runner from half back. I'd throw everything at Whitfield next year, but I think we'd have no chance of prizing him from Gws.

Agree with some of the other posters. Smith is a handy player, but I'm a huge fan of Cutler. I think he'd do the same as Smith back there. There must be more to it him not getting selected, especially over Zac Bailey this season.

I think Eagles would be faster and more agile than witho not to mention height n strength!

Brodie Smith on SEN radio said he's contracted for two more years and will be seeing them out at the crows....

Charlie is just a massive troll.

[Big Sauce 21]

Rory Laird will have to do

 

[Bucking Beads]

Wouldn’t mind if we were into Brad Crouch tbh

 

[BRAB]

Literally shaking at the Smith news.

 

[Football Pope]

Seem to recall an Ex-Captain of ours said the same thing.....

Edit: Smith's twitter has a love for Charlie... https://twitter.com/Brodiesmith33

"Reports circulating this morning that Brad Crouch is close to joining the Gold Coast Suns on a 5 year deal worth around $650,000 a season
This would be a huge blow to the crows, given Betts has already told the club he is leaving, same with Sam Jacobs and reports Rory Laird could be on the move to the Lions.
Adelaide are trying everything to entice him to stay, minus offering him a 5 year deal which is what he really wants."
#AFLinsider

“I’m contracted for two years … I do (want to stay).
“That’s just Charlie (Cameron) being a bit sneaky over there I think.”
Brad Crouch has been the talking point more recently, with Tim Watson reporting on SEN Breakfast that he is “very close” to agreeing to join the Suns.
However, Smith just spent a flight from Melbourne to Adelaide with Crouch, who apparently says he’s not aware of any Gold Coast situation.

Crows defender Brodie Smith shuts down trade talk

Brodie Smith will be at Adelaide in 2020 and believes Brad Crouch will be as well.

Of course he'll be saying that for now. The Crows B&F is still a few weeks away.

Don’t think we’ll be able to make the trade happen. Will require a Lachie Neale type trade.

 

[BangyBangy]

Tom Morris on Talking Footy saying the Greenwood to Gold Coast deal is done. Good for them. Good for us too. No problem at all with players going for whichever deal sets them up best for their life going forward, it's a self seeding thing really, if that's all that's driving him, then he's not the best fit for our club.

Lets just play Cuts seriously don't see the point of going after Grant Birchall

Also said that the Lions were chasing Birchall - really don't get that one!

According to Richard Earle we’re after Cam Ellis-Yolmen

I'm told CEY is a bit one-dimensional, he pretty much plays at the coalface and isn't so versatile outside of that. But in a way that fits with Fagan's MO, he's happy to take on guys like Lyons who aren't really well-rounded but can do one thing well.

 

[blueiris]

Jordan Lewis has him linked to Us because he believes Birchall is capable of doing what Hodge did at the Lions the only difference is Hodge is a great leader and master tactian and possibly future coach and Birchall is 31 and massively injury prone

I've got no problem with that whatsoever. It's a free hit, only cap space and a list spot.

 

[BRAB]

I think we've been linked to CEY since at least 2016.

Could this finally be the year it happens.

 

[blueiris]

Apparently CEY is Brodie Smith's bestmate I'm guessing they're this year's McCarthy Neal if we do get both hopefully it turns out just as well as this years trades

 

[Fagenslions36]

If we can’t get any legitimate a grade talent we should juts looks at just getting ah chee , and then go to the draft for a Half back with pace and add to our midfield depth .
