Hey Pies,

Just wondering where the board sits with Bobby Hill (don’t need to discuss the details) and Darcy Cameron potentially heading back to WA?

WCE have put a big contract to Cameron which is the only reason he’s likely to consider leaving but have absolutely no idea about Hill staying or going.

We’ve got the Hawks draft picks this year so goodluck tonight.

Doubt Hill will move this Pre-Season but there still a chance Cameron will ask for a Trade

Based on the suggestions here I think we’re a little bit apart. If it happens and based on our list boss I suspect it will land on the Hawks 1R, which I expect to be pick 10 before FA.

Somewhere around pick 7-10 would be about right imo given Cameron’s importance to our defensive structures and the fact that he’s still contracted.

DC and Bobby each in their own right is worth an early first round draft pick plus some. One is an All Australian level ruck with 4-5 years left in their career. One is an exciting young Cyril Rioli like norm smith medallist for goodness sake!

Surely, surely, the Pies know better than to let DC walk away for a few hundred Gs??? I mean, SURELY!! No player of his calibre would willingly go from a top 2 team to the 18th team in the comp unless it was for money. I mean I could name half a dozen players we could delist and replace with new rookies, to generate enough surplus to pay DC what he deserves and retain him. I don't see paying DC market rates as anything like the disaster that the Brody Grundy contract was.

Bobby from all reports is happy at the pies so if he does move we know its purely for personal reasons and I doubt we'd stand in his way although we'd want fair compensation

Cameron is contracted, we'd be after pick 1. You're not just getting the best ruckman, you'll be get a real leader. Someone who would drive standards and make the younger blokes stand taller.

Nah can’t agree with that. The optimist in me could justify it, but the realist in me says we aren’t getting pick 1 for a 30yo ruckman who’s never been All Australian, regardless of his current form or importance to us.

One year younger than Cameron. What does a Ryan for Cameron swap look like if Hill left, no doubt this board feels extra pick(s) are needed?
Click to expand...
It doesn’t, We wouldn’t want Ryan, our small forward stocks are pretty good even without Bobby.

Reckon Clayton Oliver to the Cats is almost a done deal this season. Oliver will agree to rip up his current deal to get the trade done

Given the no of players they are linked to , it is a huge surprise they still have any farms left to give.

They might have to annex nearby suburbs and call it geelong.

The only thing I will say is that we currently don’t have a player with the speed, agility and marking ability that bobby possesses to come in and replace him . Hayes will require time .

Jai Saxena has a bit of pace, x factor.

just for a reference:
carlton traded picks 12 and picks 14 to get pick 3 from the eagles.
we paid F1+34 for schultz.
freo paid picks 10,11,18 for bolton,14,and F3


As it stands eagles have : picks 1,will likely get pick 2 (allan compo),pick 12(from hawks), and could very well get an end of 1st round pick as part of an afl assistance package.

so bobby's value would have to be 2 first rounders.
if picks 12 and picks 14 can get you pick 3 , picks slightly higher than those 2 should be able to land you pick 2.
so we will not be out of bounds asking west coast for pick 2 for bobby and change, or get two first rounders in the early 10's for bobby.

I get what you are saying jen, saxena and hayes to a lesser extent aren't yet proven at the big stage,atleast not yet. Bobby is a proven game winner, a true x factor who can turn a game on it's head. So our first preference would obviously be for bobby to remain with us , but if his circumstances change suddenly then we have to gouge eagles or fremantle for high value.
 
Hypothetically Darcy Cameron say he wants go to to Eagles

How about this:
Darcy Cameron + 2027 First Round Pick (Keeping 2026 1st available for King and 2027 likely useless if Tassie come in)

We Get: Eagles 2026 1st and a 2025th 3rd.

Otherwise the simpler trade is to give Cameron in a straight swap for The Hawks first round pick that the eagles currently have (likely pick 11-14)

If DC goes we wouldn't even come close to getting what he's worth to us which is why we need to keep him.

We’d get even less if leaves in 2026 when his contract expires unfortunately. Try to keep him if he’s open to it, but it might be forced upon us

The whisper I have heard (apparently coming from a business associate of his) is that JUH has a handshake agreement to cone to us next year. Sceptical I was yes, but this source was well in front of the Lobb/gun situation well before if came out.
I’m taking it with a grain of salt, but if we could turn him around and get him cheap enough, let’s go!!!

King is a FA next year. Dont need picks.
We'll likely need to keep our 2027 first for Eli (or we can deal with points when we get to that point)
Pretty sure we can't trade a F1 at this point, unless Mccarthy is bid on in the first round (which is possible, but nobody knows, given how raw he is)

Yeah but we get one more year out of him while our vets are still around. Post next year a semi rebuild anyway

I would hold him to his contract. Obviously try and extend the contract too

Ben King isn't restricted? that'd make it even better!
