Traded Aaron Black [traded to Geelong for pick 92]

[boncer34]

Manager has confirmed he'll be exploring his options on trade radio. Thoughts? Who wants him? What does North want?

 

[go you pups]

Freo alert!!!!

Freo alert!!!!

Freo alert!!!!

Freo alert!!!!

Freo alert!!!!

Not sure about this one. Maybe a swap of 3-4th rounders to complete the contract and we will take his salary off Norths books. Front end his contract with match day incentives.

Will at least provide competition in the forward line. Bonus if he comes on in the new environment

 

[boncer34]

You'd imagine Freo would be excited.

How much?

Probably to off load his contract - 2 more years.

Was not likely to make our 22 next year. We would be better off to off load his contract and get some established mid even if he is 30.

they offered a 1st rounder a few years back but since he did his shoulder he's gone to shit. Would take a 3rd rounder if it freed up cap space to use elsewhere. He's on good coin.

I laughed at this more than i should have

This has been signposted for awhile now. Clearly he has not come on as expected, and with Roos recruiting they have shown they have little faith in him. Fremantle won't give up much at all, and North are probably more interested in the salary relief than the trade itself. Perhaps Mzungu if a player was wanted. There won't be many draft picks available.

Mzungu.

Sold...you are lucky he turns 30 by the start of next season, so he fits in with our list profile.

hasn't recovered from his injury unfortunately......or is mentally weak...would rather not have Mzungu, not because i don't rate him but because of his age.....Would Freo consider giving up Weller for Norths first round pick and Black.....maybe with some pick upgrades involved?

No.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

No.

fair enough

 

[doona]

A bag of home brand chips should get it done. Not sure the market will be there though. shouts out to me like Jack Anthony mark 2.

And we should have marketed him as the next Gunston and sold him on 2 years ago.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

He got a 4yr deal at the end of 2013.

Excessive?

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Sorry, I should give a better answer... its not a bad offer - your pick maybe being around the 16-18 mark? plus Black.. Depends on if you believe the rumours that he wants to go home. If Freo caught wind of it - then they would look at such offers. Possibly 3 way trade with you and St Kilda.

But - we want to keep him, will be a gun

not on the talent he had showed up until that point.

 

[GarnerSmash]

At the time no. 2013 was his first real season and he averaged close to 2 goals a game as second/third banana. Looked the goods, then injury got him again. Since then he just hasn't looked like playing at the same level at all. Needs a new home, and it should get done if the price is reasonable.

All good mate. Pick 15 (before any compo) so probably around the 18 mark. Black has asked to be traded and he'd go home to WA if given the opportunity.

North need a player like Weller desperately. Would be interesting to know how Freo rated him. Were into him in a massive way before he signed his current contract.

Would have been smarter then the long contract!!! To be fair though, at the time you didnt know you were going to get Waite.

 

[HBFlanker]

you would think Freo would be keen but i'm not copping Sheridan or Crozier in return

 

[Jeremias]

You are dreaming if you think Fremantle would offer either of those players in a swap for Black.

 

[Purple Suit]

3rd rounder then, his value has seriously dropped. It would be more to get his contract off your books that you would be doing it. You might even have to pay some of it.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Cooked as a north player. Good luck to him
