Aaron Shattock

[Mong]

I haven't seen it mentioned here but it has been reported (today's The Australia for one) that Aaron Shattock has told Brisbane that he wishes to be traded to an Adelaide club.

Rucci made mention that the Crows still have another couple of trade options on the go, maybe Shattock is one of those.

Any thoughts? Worth chasing?

Shattock could be a handy player for the Crows.

 

[baaaallllll]

I would have thought he might struggle to get a regular game with the Power and hence we might be more attractive by being able to give him more opportunity but I would not give up too much to get him. How about a straight swap Gags for Shattock

I've heard similar whispers up here in Brisbane. Have also heard his name mentioned in a complicated alternative to the Carr deal (involving a number of clubs and Shatts going to Port). That alternative is for if Freo don't want to treade Schammer.

Shattsy would be a great pick-up for your club IMO. Could be a ready-made Tyson Stenglein. I'n not saying he's as good, but he's definitely cast in a similar mould. Just a shame he's got a few ahead of him in the midfield up here and that he had a foot stress fracture in the last part of this year.

I would think the Lions would be happy with a 2nd round pick for him.

Maybe for a late pick, not exactly setting the world on fire. For someone with those stats, I'd also want them to be a few years younger.

Age 24, 57 games, averages 9 pozzies and 3 marks per match.

First and foremost, he is not a 10-year player.

Secondly, although it's tough getting a gig at Brisbane...I'd rather the Crows traded some of their own deadwood for late picks than pick up someone else's deadwood for our late picks.

I would only consider Shattock if there was nothing better on offer in the pre-season draft (assuming Lions delist him).

Thats a pretty tough call, considering where both teams have finished on the ladder the last few years, dare I suggest our deadwood is nowhere near the quality of the BBFC deadwood Having said all that, I wouldn't sell the farm to get him here either, Burton for Shattock? Maybe Shirley and Bock, and toss in Ladhams for goodwill.

Well KG said the Crows are doing a deal with Brisbane that will get us Aaron Shattock. Someone emailed in and said it will be for a 2nd round draft pick Than I am not happy with

Obviously we want Shattock as he is a decent tagger and can play in a variety of positions and is hard at it. He would be a hell of a lot better than Shirley so I would be happy to get him but NOT for the 2nd round draft pick

Agree with you Stiffy, would be good to get him but would not want to trade our second round draft pick.

and I agree with you baaa!!!! I definatley wouldn't swap him for one of our 2nd rounders. I'm a bit disappointed as thought we might have offloaded one or two of our multipe 2nd and 3rd tier players by now.

I agree too that Shattock would be a handy pick up, but wouldn't give up our 2nd rounder for him.

The fringe players don't usually get swapped to later in the week when the big deals have gone through (or are seen to have failed). I still hold hope that we will turnover a couple of players & land a couple of others. We need fresh blood in our squad.

I'd be ********ing ********ed off if we gave away one of our current first 4 picks for Shattock. He is simply not worth that.

We do need fresh blood in our squad, let's hope some deadwood can be traded away for late picks.

He is worth late second rounder but we can't afford to give that up. If we could get him for pick 40 I would happily do that deal.

 

[Skippy_14]

Agree with Stiffy.

From the Brisbane board and also heard on Perth radio

Melbourne radio SEN reports Shattock deal is done.
Shattock to Port Power.
The Lions get Port's second pick No: 35

Brisbane trading yet another player back to their home state.

Love it.

Adds more weight to the argument.

Watch this space for a full wrap up after trade week finishes!

And thats the attitude that has arisen because of all the backbiting from other club supporters
