Semi-decent midfielder or pick in the late 20s.
i'd do that in an instant based on what i used to know of him. Mind if i ask why his value's come back so much? was a top 3 key back in the league

Been a liability this year. Will be 29 in May.
If he wanted out, I can't see WC getting more than that.
I would like a nice package

he was out for a year with an ACL injury, lost a lot of weight to reduce the stress on his knee, and came back into a new system of play under a new coach. form hasn't been great and he just looks undersized ATM for the role he has to play. all pretty common stuff when it comes to big guys coming back from such an injury, & IMO he just needs a pre-season to get back to his best.
also he'll be 29 next year... though not sure that's as much of a concern for big guys as it would be for say midfielders.
honestly don't think he value has plummeted anywhere near as much as some around here believe. his best is phenomenal... to the point people were writing our 2015 season off when he went down. he's contracted so probably gone from an early first round pick to a second round pick... but who knows, a team that needs an experienced KPD badly may pay overs.
personally don't think we'll trade him unless he wants to leave.
Well said roxy, of course we are where we are ... aren't we ALL !

Makes me wish the "eagles into Koby Stevens" rumours were true.
We'd have to consider it, surely. Fletcher Roberts defends "just ok" but is the slowest thinker on an AFL list - I really think EMac would be an instant upgrade.

For the Hibberd pick YES.
If he got his body right would let Hooker play CHF then.

Surely not. We already have Hartley that is just as good and is 6 years younger. Francis and/or Ambrose can fill the 3rd/4th tall defender roles when necessary.
You'd do that as a saint supporter??? That seems crazy to me. Id never give up steven for that

Srs troll is srs.....
Eagles win that trade by a mile surely you joke.
Where do we sign?
An Eagles supporter put that trade up on the saints board a few weeks ago. He couldn't understand when he was absolutely torn to shreds by the saints folk.
You have all validated how ridiculously stupid it is. Thank you.

So petulant.
Will give you guys Tom Curren and perhaps a late pick
Doubt St Kilda will go too hard for him. He's 28 and struggling with his body. I think we'd prefer to go after someone with a bit more footy ahead of him.
To WB fans, what would we have to add to EMac to get Honeychurch to come west?
he better not
I like Mackenzie, but i really don't see him being a major need.
