If north can somehow get McDonald with a second round , would you take pick 8 for shuey.

8 and McDonald and we'll think about it.

Sorry to bump this again but I'm keen to get Yeo to the club and by the sounds of things the club has inquired. The sticking point will be that Brisbane probably won't take anything less than a 2nd rounder for him.

The longer the Lions go without a coach the better for us and any team chasing home sick Lions at the moment

Sorry to intrude. Yeo is an absolute jet and will be a star of the comp in the next few years. Out of all the players that have been reported as wanting to leave, he'd be the one all supporters and the club would hate to lose the most. There is NO way we would take a second rounder for him. Would have to be a second rounder with a player thrown in or our second round pick and Yeo for your first pick.

Then keep him

we'd have to iron out his on-field attitude by the soundsof things, but what does everyone think of heath shaw? i would love to see him playing for us, maybe our second rounder plus smith? we need pace and he would be awesome running off half back or on the wing for us. i know it probably won't happen, but hey thought i'd throw it out there.

Isn't he out of contract? If he goes to the club and says "Sorry guys, I want a trade home" then Brisbane won't exactly be in a position to demand the earth.

Not keen. Hate his attitude out on the field. Always arguing with his team mates. Not to mention his off field antics

Yep, he is. If we don't get what we think is a fair offer fair him we would probably threaten him with the PSD where there is no guarantee he would get home. Plenty of clubs would snap him up before West Coast and Freo. In that case he would re-sign or force you to up your offer. We did the same with Freo and Mitch Clark and he ended up going to Melbourne.

If he went in the draft and his preference would be to get home, I dont think any club would pick him up before our 2nd round pick

I'd be surprised if we offered up pick 24 for him.

We will just (eventually) offer our top price (if it gets to the point where there are negotiations during the trade period) and then it will be up to Yeo and the Lions. I assume he'd be open to going to Freo, although they won't offer their first pick, but you'd think they'd definitely be happy to snap him up for their second rounder which the Lions would probably refuse. If a trade couldn't be organised then Yeo could then decide if he wanted to re-sign with the Lions or go into the draft. I think he'll re-sign with the Lions.

 

[UpForGrabs]

To be fair, he only ever seems to argue with Nick Maxwell... and it's probably Shaw saying something along the lines of "I can't believe a flog like you is picked every week, let alone gets to stay captain".

Clark ended up getting a better offer from Melbourne than he did from Freo and Brisbane traded him there. Not sure where the PSD comes into that.

I've said in another thread, can't recall where, that the PSD isn't the threat people seem to think it is. For a start, players have the option of going into the main draft now. In the last 5 years or more, players who have gone into either draft after being unable to get a trade have almost without exception ended up at the club of their choice. Look at Ball, Jacobs, Tippett, Houli, Anthony etc.

I reckon you guys are a prime destination for Heath Shaw. If I've understood your board correctly, a key concern for the Eagles this year was lack of foot speed and foot skills. Heater brings both in spades. Would also appreciate the room to move on the big Patterson Stadium surface.

Eagles should low-ball Pies with a 3rd rounder or something for Shaw. If they're motivated sellers, they'll take it - not least to send him *far* away. If they want more... tell 'em no. See how serious they are to move him.

 

[Chris_6678]

Did see this:

News Talk 6PR 882 ‏@NewsTalk6PR 2h
Eyes and Ears with @SteveMillsPR has heard Richmond Tiger Dustin Martin is in town - a possible move west on the cards?

Not 100% convinced and they probably got it from that dodgy facebook rumor page.

Yeah i would for a 3rd rounder...but i just can not stand his attitude and think it sends the wrong messages throughout the group.

 

[pantskyle]

I'd take Shaw, could get him cheap as well.

Yeo, well if he chose us there is no chance we would consider our first rounder. Our second rounder would be enough.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

We need top midfield prospects, so if Yeo is not that then i'm not keen. My understanding is he's another backman, which we have plenty of (although not many good ones ).
Martin? Well he can play well when he wants to but he has massive attitude issues and its the same with Shaw, so I'm not sure on those trades. Keep our top picks and go the draft i say.

 

[Small Moves]

Shaw would be a steal if we could sting Collingwood for a late second/third rounder. There's no way he'd argue with Glass, that's for sure.

make this happen!

 

[bodazoka]

Martin to WC would be an incredible coup

 

[getgaff]

If we are chasing a small forward (which we should) what are the thoughts on Eddie Betts as a Free Agent.

I wouldn't go anywhere near the rumoured 600 k he wants from Carlton but it could be a good move and means we won't need to look within the first couple of rounds of the draft for a small forward

 

[kane249]

Think you answered your own question there, he wants way too much for what he's worth.

 

[QL 21]

Martin to WC would be an incredible coup

Would be pretty amazing. I still can't see it happening though.

Martin, Wellingham, Shuey, Scooter, Masten, Gaff.

That's a well rounded midfield.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Don't think we need another player demanding the ball inside forward 50, we've already got Kennedy, Darling, LeCras, Hill and Cox/Naitanui/Lycett in there.

If we've got the salary cap room to chase Betts then I think there's more pressing needs it could be spent on.

 

[reimersworstguy]

Hah, Martin. No chance.

 

[twce13]

personally dont want martin, he might be talented but he just reeks of poor attitude and risk. Not to mention his trade value would cost an arm and a leg.

Would much rather he re-sign with the tigers and bend them over in the process.

also dont want shaw.
