Traded Campbell Chesser [Traded to Carlton for 2025 2nd round pick #41]

[The Nostradamus]

The 22 year old former first round pick out of contract but apparently eagles have an offer in front of him

Yet to sign so potential watch on maybe coming home to a vic club for a fresh start

 

[FD2646]

I hope he jumps ship and goes back to Victoria.

 

[stallon]

Hope he re-signs.

He would fetch us unders in a trade due to injuries.
If he can stay healthy he looks like hes gonna be a good player

Have the injuries been different each time or reoccurring?

I hope he jumps ship and goes back to Victoria.

wasnt it reported he signed a 2 year deal?

That’s the offer not signed yet

wasnt it reported he signed a 2 year deal?

Offered 2 years, the offer came late in the season by the sounds of it so his manager has told him to take a bit of time to think about it, they were all off on footy trip this week so a decision after that is likely.

You’re only doing that if you have similar offers on the table.

 

[bzparkes]

Very keen to stay, according to some in the WA media. As long as the offer's similar to what Vic offers are, can't see him leaving.

 

[Tugga27]

I'd prefer we offer him a 1 year deal but can he probably wouldn't accept it.

Two years should be the maximum, regardless of what he's rumoured to be offered by other clubs.

 

[branedotorg]

hard to value him tbh, what do eagles fans expect to get if he does leave?

 

[crankygeese]

The kid has talent, his body just hasn't behaved. I'm sure the Eagles would prefer to keep him and would be willing to give him the deal he wants to ensure that. Maybe it's 2 years instead of 1 or an extra 50k-100k. They have the cap space. If he doesn't work out it won't really impact their rebuild, if he works out then he'll be a handy piece for a number of years. Surely the Eagles keep him.

 

[Elite Pete]

hard to value him tbh, what do eagles fans expect to get if he does leave?

Yeah hard one to value. Would’ve been close to not getting a contract offer if it wasn’t for some decent afl games late in the year.

Still very much an unknown player 4 years in. Only had a couple of decent games in the wafl when he returned from injury and probably didn’t deserve his afl spot late in the year. When he came in had some afl standard games which is no doubt why they offered the 2 years.

Blue crabs go for about $20kg at the moment.

 

[Taylor]

He looks pretty good when he is fit, moves well, creates by foot. If another club wants to take a punt on a guy who has had his entire career derailed by injury so far then they could really get something special for close to nothing here.

A second round pick from a team in the finals would feel like robbery one way or another, entirely depending on what happens with Chesser over the following two years.

He played a good game against us late in the season in a pretty dirty day for the Eagles. There's definitely something to work with if he can get his body right. Hopefully he stays as the trade price would be low for him considering the injury history.

 

[Lia]

hard to value him tbh, what do eagles fans expect to get if he does leave?

Not much considering he was no certainty to even get a contract 6 weeks ago. Hope we keep him now, he deserves credit for his resilience through injury and improvement on the field.

 

[BartBart]

It was unfortunate that he was one of the three season ending ankles done in the pre-season game in the space of about a quarter in 2022 v Freo at Lathlain Park (along with Sheed & Yeo).

That 30 mins or so has played a not insignificant part in the club's recent woes.

I think he showed enough playing on a wing late in the season (with Maric on the opposite wing) to be given a 2 year contract. Seems to be able to cover the ground required.

 

[Purple Suit]

Soft outside player made of tissue paper. Not sure what is more unbelievable, WC putting a 2 year contract in front of him or Carlton chasing him. I thought he was getting delisted a month ago.

I feel like he's is a similar player to Liam Henry without the patch of big disposal games in his 4th year and not as durable. If he leaves I think WC will come out the winners in the trade.

 

[Wce17]

I hope he jumps ship and goes back to Victoria.

I hope you shit the bed in finals.

 

[Barrybran]

hard to value him tbh, what do eagles fans expect to get if he does leave?

Not much. I'd like a second but his career to date probably doesn't warrant that. He's worth more to us holding onto him than he is in a trade.

 

[Bostonian]

I don't know why we want this guy (if true) hard pass please.

 

[Barrybran]

He's not Gulden but he's at least achievable. I would like to keep him though.

 

[Bostonian]

He's too injury prone. We don't need that.

We held onto Cunningham/Marchbank for 3 years too long.

This feels like a Cunningham mk2 situation.

 

[WillHayward]

Worth nothing to another club or in a trade.

May as well stuck it out at the Eagles and either become something or be delisted after two years.
