Looks like he will be leaving the eagles at years end. What would you give up to get him?
We def need a hard running midfielder like Kerr to help out Pendles in the midfield. Is cousins a possibility?
I hear Carlton are chasing Kerr big time also..
 
There just arn't enough threads on this subject. Let's see how many we can have. You beauty! :thumbsu:
 
Two of Fraser, Rusling and Maxwell plus our first round pick maybe throw in our second but the Eagles wouldn’t take it. They’d want a top 3 pick. If they could be assured Rusling was sound then maybe they give it a thought.

Two players and our first pick, plus possibly our second pick too? Jesus. I rate Daniel Kerr too, but that's over the top. Plus, I don't think the three players you mention would interest the Eagles anyway. Remember, he's under contract still. The Eagles have the whip hand and won't part with him for anything but a very good deal. That's the problem.

Kerr would suit us perfectly. But the asking price will be too steep.

We have the best resourced recruiting department in the country. And in the last three years they've added the likes of Pendlebury, Thomas, Goldsack, Brown, Anthony, Clarke etc to our list. Let them do their job and keep building the list. We're moving in the right direction IMO.
 
Reid + 1st round + who ever else they want bar the obvious untouchables

LMAO @ suggesting WCE will do a deal with Maxwell in it.

Seriously, what do you think it would take to get a quality midfielder to a club that needs one? We’ve been here before. WCE would probably tell us to PO if we offered that. Maxwell is a good clubman Fraser is a former number 1 and Rusling is a good prospect as a quick lead and mark forward with kicking queries. Our forst pick will probably be between 10 and 14.

I would do this deal is a heartbeat.

Collingwood wouldn’t offer it and WCE wouldn’t accept it. I don’t doubt for a minute most Collingwood fans would think it was crazy. That all adds up to we won’t win the flag again in 2009.

The asking price for one of a the few ingrediants to a red hot flag chance for 3-5 years is too cheap? Mate, it is a bargain at half the price. If we could pull that off and somehow snare Cousins assuming he was on the straight and narrow (I have my doubts) we could concentrate on a ruckman and FMD we are in the mix with Bells on.

What price that? Name it.

So you'd trade us out of the first two rounds of the last uncompromised draft in years; plus offer Fraser, who, for all his fallibilities, is still clearly our number one ruckman; and THEN throw another player in on top of it? And even then you say West Coast would tell us to piss off? Well, you're probably right. They won't want a package of players, which just creates list management problems for them because they have to accommodate them. They'd want a better deal than that. Which just reinforces my reluctance. Would you be prepared to trade Pendlebury for Kerr? Or Brown and our first-rounder? Or Thomas and our first-rounder? That's what I'd be asking for if I were WC. Would you do that? I wouldn't.

Pendlebury for Kerr would be incredibly stupid. Just robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Well yeah..you'd have to have some exceptions.

Pendlebury, Thomas, Cloke, Brown, Clarke, Didak, Swan, O'Brien.

Anyone outside that group i wouldn't be disappointed in losing.

Why do people put Didak, but not Leon

would absolutely hate to lose Davis

Well Leon is a WA boy, and whilst i would hate to lose him, especially after all the faith we have put into him, you would think the Eagles would love to pick up a WA boy that can play the rest of his career there.

So we lose 2 midfielders (1st round and Davis) for one elite midfielder with issues

The key to winning this trade is giving something we already have a lot of, ie: key forwards, it has to be Reid and 1st round.. otherwise stick with the kids

Yeah i see what you are saying, but we'd be trading for an excellent inside midfielder who knows how to get a clearance.

If we had 15 first round draft picks i'd feel confident we couldn't draft one of those.

And yeah i'd rather give up Reid and our first round, or Rusling or something, but if they said Davis or bust, then i'd be sad to see him go, but i reckon we'd have to do it.

I have to point out here that if Kerr were to leave, WC would NOT be looking at deals that involve multiple players coming to the club. Given that we're going to most likely promote 3 Rookies + the 3 player minimum drafting, bringing 2 or 3 players in to replace just 1 is going to make our problems worse, not better.

I would think from Collingwood that WC would ask you to use some of those players mentioned to upgrade your 1st Rounder, then use that upgraded pick plus a player.

Just as an example (excuse me if its a bit over the top, just making it up on the fly): Ben Reid + 1st Round (8-13) to Port Adelaide for Pick 4.

Then Pick 4 + Davis (we desperately need a quick, skillful small forward.) for Kerr.

Would you guys do that?
 
Brown + Top 10 draft pick might get the deal done. Still WC would want more.

spot on.
 
No-one's going to pay that, they'll wait another year if Kerr's that desperate to leave the WCE and then grab him when you have little leverage. 1st rounder + Reid + Davis? I think you're taking the piss. Judd went for considerably less than that.

Thats going to be the issue. WC would want more, and somewhat justifiably so, but no club would be willing to pay more than that.

And Sampler, I wasnt taking the piss. I even said it was probably over the top when I suggested that trade.
