David King Trade : We lose Hurley & Bellchambers. Gain Yarran/Gibbs/Dal Santo

[daffo]

Would you take this deal?

GWS Giants.
Gain: Hurley/Bellchambers. Lose : Pick 1 & 19

St Kilda.
Gain : Pick 19. Lose : Dal Santo

Carlton.
Gain: Pick 1. Lose: Yarran/Gibbs

Essendon.
Gain: Yarran/Gibbs/Dal Santo. Lose: Hurley/Bellchambers


I would really consider this. In the next couple of years we will lose a couple of Hooker/Hurley/Crameri/Gumby etc. This is the best chance of getting some value for our talls.

In before the sqibbs bashing.

I'd probably just keep 1 and 19 TBH. Would ease any salary cap issues over the next three years, allowing another free agent and possibly net us a superstar forward.

 

[Tommy08]

I understand it's only a hypothetical, but Hurley has a 5 year deal. So it's not really even worth bothering about.

But for the sake of it...I think we'd be the winners out of that trade in a football sense. But I love Hurls so I wouldn't want it to happen

 

[TheDinosaur]

Hurley is going no where.
Surely Gumbleton, Bellchambers and Pears could be offered for the same picks?

 

[Kong]

 

[BrunoV]

Just a bloody nonsense suggestion.

We lose what is probably a once in a generation defender, and generally gun KPP, as well as a number 1 ruck for a goal sneak and a one paced midfielder we don't need (that Carlton really do).

Why would Carlton bite into the stocks of its quality players when it could just offer Gumby a contract?

 

[Macca18]

The only Essendon tall that will be elsewhere next year will be Gumbleton.

Hille will retire at the end of the year and if Paddy goes down through injury/suspension our ruck stocks are very limited. Bellchambers is an essential signing.

The coaching staff rate Hurley, forward or back, far too highly to get rid of him. The fact he has just signed a massive contract as well means he won't be going anywhere.

Just stupidity from David King.

 

[Pweter]

In this sort of scenario it is too easy to get caught up in what we're getting rather than what we're letting go.

Wow, we get Yarran, Gibbs and one of Montagna/Dal Santo.... could certainly do worse
Wow, we can not trade in any players and just get picks 1 and 19 from GWS... hnnggg
Oh crap, we really have to give up Bellchambers and Hurley to do this. DO NOT WANT!!!!!

 

[Lord Nicholson]

If Bomber had his salad rolls, Hirdy has his water bottles.

Need a highlights package of Hirdy's Mount Franklin Moments.

 

[eth-dog]

Wouldn't touch those squibs from Carlton

Pears and Belchambers most likely IMO. In that order.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Beyond the fact that it's pure fantasy football, it's a collection of individually dumb trades.

 

[Stopher]

Not ideal, but still MUCH better than Sandilands + Duffield.

To think people actually get paid to come up with stuff like this *shakes head*

 

[Rack Watts]

As soon as I read David King, I entered the thread to say 'As soon as I read David King, I entered the thread to say "As soon as I read David King I entered the thread to say" '

 

[Rack Watts]

I wouldn't want to lose Hurley, ever.
Bellchambers maybe, for the right trade. I'd like a speedy, silky mid in return though.

[Rack Watts]

Also, Dal Santo is like 56 years old.

 

[im rick james dog]

Im sure gws would much rather Mark Maclures potential trade; Sandilands and Duffield for Pick 1 or Dane Swan for Pick 1. The guys an absolute clown

He also compared Jobe and other Essendon players with Lance Armstrong because they were all "good blokes"

 

[daffo]

haha. I was expecting that response.

 

[Pweter]

haha. I was expecting that response.

You only had to look in the Trades thread for pretty much the same conversation

 

[Drummer_19]

I recon we could get the #1 pick for Jobe and Goddard prob. Should do it.

 

[Jade]

Would you take this deal?

No.

Hurley is one of three or four players that are quite simply off the table no matter the compensation.

 

[Zach Package]

why is anyone considering this?

King is there to create conversation by suggesting stupid deals. No one's going to pay him any attention if he says 'essendon's list is in a really good place, they should just stay the course'

Absolutely stupid trades, both of them

 

[Browne Eye]

Monumentally stupid trade.
We give away our second best key position player and our second ruckman, both of which are YOUNG for:

1. A non-team player who sooks it up
2. A squib
3. A midfielder who's close to the wrong side of his peak

F*** no.
