Traded Aaron Black [traded to Geelong for pick 92]

[MisterMarcus]

In all seriousness, we've basically got our Kersten replacement for 30 Picks cheaper.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Only problem is his salary.

 

[Orange Agent]

In all seriousness, we've basically got our Kersten replacement for 30 Picks cheaper.

But did you really need a Kersten replacement?

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

good luck to him and the rest of his career. think north are happy to have his estimated 400k off the pay roll

 

[2006_Eagles]

He'll be traded somewhere for a token pick/gentlemen's agreement.

We're not receiving anything of real worth for him.

 

[freofc1994]

Suban...make it happen

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Tag, your it, he is your problem now.

Seriously though, he still has something to offer at afl level.

 

[MisterMarcus]

But did you really need a Kersten replacement?

We need a "third tall" type down there. We have Hawkins, the resting ruck, and a bunch of medium/smalls.

Kersten may not have been it, but we do need that type of player. Might as well take a punt on Black with such a token pick.

Fantastic get from the Cats, so much upside with Black!

 

[andana]

Should have kept him to trade for Fyfe next year.

 

[TwentyNine]

Thank you Chris, your check is in the mail.

In that I assume we're paying most of his salary.

 

[TwentyNine]

In all seriousness, we've basically got our Kersten replacement for 30 Picks cheaper.

In that he'll play purely VFL football, yeah.

Should have kept him to trade for Fyfe next year.

Fyfe's a free agent next year.

Which, obviously, is the only problem with that scenario.
