Matt Clarke wraps up the trade period - 6PR

 

[TerryFilk]

This is the time to trade For Walter, when he is OOC and not happy.

He’s not OOC and there’s an hour or two left, it’s not happening this year.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I'd give pick 13 for him, not sure I'd go as far as pick 2

Jed Walter + 15 for 2 move the needle much?

 

[Mop]

Meh. North told him to look around. You’re not getting the best offers for someone who is an ordinary player in that situation

You sure about that? Pretty sure they were caught off guard

 

[stallon]

Yeah, but you don't rate midfielders. I've had this argument with you before, we're you named all these fringe players as mids for us. It was Hutch last year.
HBF is our least needed position for a high draft pick IMO

McCarthy is a better mid than half back, I think he will be a very good mid for us.
Duursma and Patterson are mids long term imo, they just start as outside players like most youngsters with pace do.
Allan still unknown but id consider him a mid before a defender.

Whatever you think about my feelings about mids is irrelevant, we have mids and we lack a running half back.

It was never that I dont rate mids, it was that I understand transition is more important than pure stoppage players like Sharp

 

[Bender_]

Pick 19 for Walter and we don't bid on Robert Pattinson.

 

[WCE777]

I'd give pick 13 for him, not sure I'd go as far as pick 2

He is worth 13 this year while 1 year left on his contract.
I would wait until next year when he is OOC and unhappy and he will be a late 1st round pick imo.

 

[Godfather32]

Jed Walter + 15 for 2 move the needle much?

Not unless we can move up with 13 and 15, which doesn't seem overly likely

 

[ThePuma #9]

low possession and outside. So yeah, you're probably right but imo not a great need for us.

We have quite a few running half backs now in McCarthy, Ginbey, Duursma (maybe), Baker if we leave him in the backline.
I like him and wouldn't be upset if we got him, but don't actually think he is pick 2 worthy.

I think you will find he transitions to the midfield in due course.

 

[Bender_]

We don't want inside mids, the game has gone past the need for them.

We also don't want outside mids, we need contested players.

You c*nts don't know what you want.

 

[eaglevision]

Melbourne have shown they are the most serious about moving up to the top of the order in recent times with huge offers. They gave the best offer for Harley and I would consider their F1 extremely valuable.

1 for 7,8 and their F1, with an F2 or something going back would get me interested. I don't think there is that big a difference this year for us between 4,5 and 7,8.

There’s a clear top 8 in my mind, only issue here is if the two left at 7,8 are X Taylor and Schubert. Assuming we take CDT at 2 which I think we will, we’d be left with no midfielder from the top bracket of players.

If we did that trade I’d want to trade 2 as well with Essendon.

 

[WCE777]

He’s not OOC and there’s an hour or two left, it’s not happening this year.

Obviously didn't word that right, a couple of responses incoming.
He would be a better get next year when OOC and unhappy if JUH takes his spot.
Lowers the price and more of a need then with someone longer term to replace Waterman who will be done in 4 years.

 

[leighmo]

Dev Robertson will be delisted and join WC as a DFA. From Cal Twomey.

We did it!

 

[Elite Pete]

Steele to Dees for F3. Would’ve been nice imo

 

[BG__]

Jed Walter + 15 for 2 move the needle much?

Pointswise, if we traded them 13+34 and made no bids it’s equal to around pick 2

 

[Mop]

Trade Radio discussing Sydney's salary cap at the moment - sounds like it's getting seriously tight.

To the point where salary coverage of Curnow's contract is being discussed between the teams.

How bad must Curnow want out if he’s prepared to essentially forgo a million bucks.

That’s mad

 

[Elite Pete]

 

[FatPizza]

just saw a certain player who just got cleared to play afl again up at karrinyup
surely we wouldn't would we

I'm concerned for who he needed to assault to get a bloody parking spot...

 

[Mop]

Steele to Dees for F3. Would’ve been nice imo

I don’t disagree but it was never likely

 

[Woutizmoo]

We don't want inside mids, the game has gone past the need for them.

We also don't want outside mids, we need contested players.

You c*nts don't know what you want.

half back flankers with swervability?

 

[Elite Pete]

I don’t disagree but it was never likely

Agreed but he jumped pretty quickly when a team showed interest. Probably because he gets to stay in Melbourne

 

[WCE777]

I think you will find he transitions to the midfield in due course.

agree, Patterson will be a balanced mid in time, he already doesn't mind the physical part of the game

 

[Patron]

There’s a clear top 8 in my mind, only issue here is if the two left at 7,8 are X Taylor and Schubert. Assuming we take CDT at 2 which I think we will, we’d be left with no midfielder from the top bracket of players.

If we did that trade I’d want to trade 2 as well with Essendon.

Yep that wouldn't be the one's we want left in combo, but that would be extremely unlikely. Richmond and Essendon won't both double up on mids. One of Robey, Sharp, Cumming, Grilj are highly likely to be available at 7. Odds are two will be imo and I would be fine to run the risk with one of Schubert or Dovaston which would be both be good for us.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Patterson would be an unbelievable pickup.
His play style is made for modern football.

 

[WCE777]

Steele to Dees for F3. Would’ve been nice imo

Geez that's a good deal, he was worth a 2nd round pick to someone including us, sounds like a salary dump by STK and get get out of here?

 

[mitchzz]

Steele to Dees for F3. Would’ve been nice imo

F3 for Aleer? Lol
