Is Wellingham a match winner?
At his best Broughton beats match winners, thats his biggest strength. A guy that can stop a match winner is just as valuable as a match winner.

West Coast overpaying for Wellingham because their midfield is so shithouse they desperately need a midfielder doesn't make Broughton worth a first round pick.

Back on topic, interestingly the media heads in Victoria rate Clinton Young ahead of Danyle Pearce, Terry Wallace and Cam Mooney both agreed they would prefer Young over Pearce. As a result they were shocked at the compensation for both players. Of course Wallace thinks Chaplin is a champion.

Ask any Port supporter and they wanted to keep Pearce over Chaplin, looking forward to comparing the form of both players next season.

Yeah that's ridiculous. Pearce doesn't break down every season either, he brings more skills than Young and younger.

The topic is Broughton.
 
That so many clubs rate his ability to completely lock out an opposition forward while providing a link in the switch and running into space for a get-out-of-gaol kick should highlight just how good of a bargain we got with that late rookie pick four years ago.

When he plays in defence, he is in our top ten players and one of our five most important on the field.

I want a first round.

Lol young is ten times the player Pearce is. If we didn't pick up Pearce is fa period and were asked which player we would rather 99 out of 100 would say they would rather young
 
KPR, DP is way better than Young.

Anyway, back on topic, get involved Essendon! Let's get a bidding war going. I want some more picks.

No, he isn't. Have you bought into the Hawthorn hubris or something? Young is a decidedly ordinary half back flanker with a decent kick. I can't believe how many dead ordinary players at Hawthorn get the dry stroking from other fans just because they play in a side with Franklin & Mitchell.
 
Bad call!

Dreadful call!

Surely you'd have thought Broughton was a required player and when played in his CORRECT position (as a lockdown defender), he's as good as anyone. Ross has played him out of position this year but he's Best 18 for mine.

The only way a trade should be agreed to is if we get a fantastic draft pick and by that, I mean first round or early second round pick or a player that fills a need. Anything less is just a joke and should rightly see Bond crucified by the supporter base

I actually think that may have been forced upon him due to the back injury he had been carrying and if he had a significant finger problem that would make defending a tougher task as well.
Ross loved Sean Dempster and i think Broughts is pretty much the same player so this is all very interesting to me.
 
Our defence is based around a team system as seen in the second half of the year when Broughton was injured (as im watching replays of the games Rnd1-23 he was actually very serviceable up forward contrary to popular belief).. his undoubted ability to beat opponents 1v1 is probably worth more to other sides than it is to us, so no harm in seeing what offers can be tabled.

Decent first round pick which increases our chances of gathering a KPP player as well as having our Pick 17 still in tact, i would seriously look at it. Anything less and they can jump though

As opposed to the standard bigfooty notion... Bond recruited him so Pearce will be a star for us!!!

Pearce is a soft downhill skier who won't add a discernible amount to our team. Young whilst overrated is a much better player than danyle imo

They are both downhill skiers, but Pearce is the more naturally talented of the two, and by a fair margin.

It's not a dreadful call because you are on the same page as everyone else and I'm guessing the club. Unless we get a very good offer, broughton will be playing for us next year

I think young works harder which in my mind makes him a better prospect. Pearce wi dominate nex year against gws, the bulldogs and Melbourne but I'm tipping we will see nothing of him against the hawks, Sydney and west coast

It's a moot point anyway. We have Pearce on big dollars for the next four years the pies have young, and obviously on a lot less money than Pearce considering the pick 66 vs the pick 30 compensation given

I'm just referring to all the rumours of interest in terms of dreadful call, that's all
 
Ok, well three clubs are apparently interested, either there will be a bidding war or it will fizzle out. I won't be unhappy either way... Providing broughts goes back to the backline for us if he stays
