Reid thus far in his tenure at the AFC has proven to be one of our more competent operators.
He may not be of "gun" status but he's going OK.

Greenwood isn’t a free agent.
2019 Updated AFL Restricted and Unrestricted Free Agent List
The Australian Football League (AFL) has distributed the updated 2019 list of Restricted, Unrestricted and Delisted Free Agents to the 18 clubs across the competition

I know it wasn't a trade but CEY for 47 means we should be asking for more than that for Greenwood.

Justin Reid the list manager? Wow, the bar is set so low.
Champion Data rank him at 32 in the AFL. Hopefully the idiocy of our selection panel doesn't hurt his value too much.
For a player of his age that can't make the starting 22
Ok
But I have no doubt if we were buying a player that was like that abd 27 we would be offering a third

Our starting 22 didn't make the finals and the football department that the selection committee works within has been placed under internal and external review. Maybe they weren't picking the right side? Statistically, Greenwood's last 40 games have him ranked 32 in the AFL, with only Sloane being ranked higher at the AFC. Maybe he should have been in the starting 22*?
*He absolutely should have been in the starting 22.
You are clearly overating the list
But we will wait and see what happens next year I'm predicting 15th

Actually I'm not. I'm saying Greenwood should have been a lock for the 22 every single day of the week and that our selection committee is horrendous.

Wouldn't be surprised....never thought I'd see the day..... hope you're wrong, but I don't think you are!
Greenwood was horrible this year he deserved to be dropped on the occasions he was as was Gibbs and Betts and JJ

Agree with you about Gibbs and JJ.... stupid move giving them long contracts - stupid move talking Gibbs at all... but you can't put Eddie in same category... he knows how to play footy and he tries his guts out... as for Sloane, how can you mention him in the same sentence as those other two hacks???

Don't they want a good "team man"?
You could say the same for pretty much 90% of our players this year. Greenwood was just inconsistent in finding the footy. When he gets the ball, usually there is good things that happen. His marking also seem to have improved when marking up forward. If he ramps up his posession count to around 25 per game, then he's going to do some serious damage.
Hugh's not going to get up to 25 possessions per game. He's a contested ball beast, but he lacks some combination of footy smarts/elusiveness that mean that he just doesn't get enough uncontested footy.
Hugh got 1.8 contested possessions for every uncontested possession last year.
For people who got more than 10 possessions (total for the season) and played more than one game in 2017, only 14 players had a higher ratio: Marc Pittonet, Matthew Lobbe, Natanui, Oscar McInerney, Tom Campbell, Ratugolea, Kreuzer, Brayden Preuss, Ryder, Mumford, Stefan Martin, Sandilands, ROB, and Tom Hickey.
The next 14 on the list after Greenwood are Darcy Fort, Frampton, Witts, Archie Smith, Charlie Dixon, Dawson Simpson, Sean Darcy, Brodie Grundy, Bellchambers, Rowan Marshall, Rory Lobb, Mason Cox, Ivan Soldo and Shaun McKernan.
So Hugh ranks very much alongside most of the league's ruckmen and or giant forwards who pinch hit in the ruck when it comes to finding the ball in space. Not the profile of someone who's going to get it 25 times a game.
One last comparison (against our best contested ball players)
In 2019, Rory Sloane averaged 13.1 contested and 11.9 uncontested possession per game
CEY averaged 12.3 contested and 11.5 uncontested possession per game
Hugh averaged 11.4 contested and 6.4 uncontested possession per game

He can..but if GC finish below us..or anyone else for that fact, they can take Lukosius before we can. So if we can convince lukosius to come soon and just put off contract talks, we need to finish bottom so we can get him in the PSD AND we get pick 1 to offer for Grundy..happy days (just not next year when we get beat every week tanking for a bottom place finish
)

Given the revenge we've extracted against all of the other clubs that have stolen our lunch money, I can see why they would fear our reprisals.
Clubs generally prefer to get a deal done, they don't want to create toxic relationships with other clubs as there many more future trade periods and **** a relationship based industry
