Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
He is contracted so GWS only deal him if they are getting overs otherwise they just take a second next season if he doesn’t come on.
Yes they do get done.. but the Crows won't get short changed for a guy contracted for 5 more years. It would be a top 10 pick or there's no incentive for them to trade.. the thought of us getting him for a second rounder is delusional to be quite frank. It's not like he's home sick or has personal reasons to request the trade that the club feels obliged to facilitate. They hold him for at least another year rather than get destroyed in a trade. And let's be real, if we were in the same situation we'd all be saying two top 10 picks or a top 10 and some extras for a guy tracking nicely and contracted. Some people here even think Jack Martin is worth a pick in the 20's. Rachele won't happen. You can say I told you so if it does but it won't.
He'd be cheaper than Rachele. One is playing senior footy and the other is not. He's 4th in line behind Taylor, Buckley and Idun. Only one year left on his contract and they get more for him now than if he doesn't play much next year and ends up out of contract. Also, GWS are quite reasonable at moving players on when they're not in the best 22. And also define your definition of cheap.. I said he's gettable, not that we'd get him for peanuts. Late first round pick is about right. 12-20ish kind of range. Which you could argue is slight overs given he's not getting games but would be fair to shake him loose. The amount of suitors matters little once he nominates a team.. they deal solely with that team.
i'm not even a fan of the kid frankly....

I agree I think if you give a pick inside maybe 15 they might bite but I think more likely ~10. Outside of that it is completely pointless for them, they are contending and if they do get injuries having him come in is a huge advantage. KD’s are in huge demand and he would have to be one of the more exciting ones available next season so I still think they will get a decent pick.
Would have thought Aleer would be more Atlantic/Indian? And Rachele is Mediterranean certainly.
My uneducated guess is his repeated injuries are as much his fault as the clubs but it would be interesting to hear from anyone who knew from both the player and the club their take on this.
I think they are worth persevering with. If we get rid of all our injury prone, never available players then there’s more scope to be patient with these speculative types, the whole point of the cat b rookie concept.
I think Adelaide or Geelong would be prepared to take Pitto. Also rucks have irrational trade value so I wouldn’t rule it out.
Next season is a very important year for both. At least being under contract if they want to leave or a club wants them at the end of this year then we should be able to get some sort of value back for them.
I like Cerra but his talent ceiling is nowhere near Petracca who is a superstar. IMO at his best he is borderline All Australian which is still pretty amazing. His injuries though are very concerning.
Caleb serong but with pace
He's ready to go so I think it's worth the punt.
Slow, short, inside mid with ordinary foot skills. Hopefully not.
If we are looking at a one paced mid surplus to 'young' midfield I'd rather look at Powell at north but again, not sure why he'd come and be fifth banana, or why we wouldn't look for a point of difference rather than more of what we've got.
We are trying to win a premiership.
Not always. We have Lord that has just debuted and looks the good imo.
One of our inside mids either plays as the sub, plays in a different position or doesn't play at all when we're at full health due to too much likeness in our midfield mix.
I quite like him too. Definitely seems closer to 195cm when he plays, solid lockdown KPP.
Depth player, not a front liner. One who could replace Nigel on the rookie list…
I am in favour of trading Cerra.
Why trade Cerra? Isn’t his upside larger than anything we would get in a trade for him?
