Hypothetical Trade

[Drummond]

Channel 10 News just said that Meesen has just put contract talks on hold, and considering he’s out of contract at season’s end I’m not overly confident he’ll be back next year.

I believe Richmond’s Danny Meyer is also out of contract at season’s end. He’s 20 years of age, originates from Glenelg, and is reportedly home sick although that’s just speculation. He’s struggling to make an impact with the Tigers, but has performed quite well with Coburg in the VFL.

So considering they were taken at picks 8 and 12 respectively in the 2004 AFL Draft, would you trade Meesen for Meyer?

I don't understand why you are so obsessed with Meyer, you have made a few threads about him and every trade thread you mention Meyer. Isn't he struggling to get a game with Richmond?

Pass.

As I said, he is struggling to get a game with the Tigers however I wouldn’t let it detract us from his potential.

Incredible pace which is something we’re currently lacking, excellent athleticism including a great leap, and is known to apply good defensive pressure.

The way I see it is Meesen is out of contract at the end of the year, and considering he’s just put contract talks on hold you would suspect that his chances of being here next year are minimal. Meyer is a South Australian who was highly rated in his draft year, put him in the right environment as he could thrive IMO.

If only we could trade posters.

OK then, I want suggestions from all you guys about who you would want in return for Meesen.

Pavlich is off limits, as are Cooney and Griffen. Who else does that leave? As much as it pains me to say and whether you like it or not, I HIGHLY doubt Meesen will be here next year. So who else is on the cards?

 

[Gets!]

Why don't we wait until the end of the year?

 

[Deledio2Conca]

I find it funny that the only 2 posters who said yes were Tigers Supporters

I know everyone loves you on this board, but boy do you love to sit on the fence.

Every thread we hear the same thing about waiting for these things, well why wait? I’ve just started a simple discussion about potential players we could get in return for Meesen if he is to leave. I’m not saying he’s gone, but the bottom line is that it’s not looking likely that he’ll be around next year. So how about you stop dismissing every thread which remotely discusses the future, and tell me would you would like to target.

If Meesen is to leave we’ll get something pretty decent in return, so who/what should that be in your eyes? It's not hard.

I have my doubts too that he'll still be around next year. Ideally I'd like him to stay, but if he's determined to leave then I just hope he can play some really good league footy for Norwood in the second half of the year and get his trade value as high as possible.

I'd be interested in looking at Meyer, but the Tigers would need to sweeten the deal. They'd be guilty of indecent assault in a straight swap for Meesen.

Meesen is out of contract. Richmond needs a young ruckman whose been in the system. Meesen has been at a good club. Richmond has the first pick in the PSD. And there are rumours all over the place in Melbourne today that Meesen is coming to Richmond in the PSD.

That won't happen unless the kid has no integrity whatsoever, which I highly doubt. There'd be way too many Vic clubs interested in securing a promising top 10 pick ruckmen for him to go PSD, unless he does a Nick "Judas" Stevens. I doubt our club would've recruited a kid with that sort of character. We've learnt our lesson in that area.

 

[Supertiger]

Opportunity to play and a decent salary may get him to agree to a PSD deal. by the way Meyer is a good player. hed be sensational at Adelaide, the kid needs to play in a good side with experienced players- he hasnt got that at Richmond.

I'm guessing you started the rumour.

I very much doubt Meesen will end up in the PSD as the Crows would do a deal if he wanted to leave.

Well we got Pick 17 for Fergus Watts who did very little in his 5 AFL games with the club. And he really only had the 1 standout game in his two years in the SANFL. We drafted him with the 14th Pick. Considering he was the most highly rated ruckman in his draft year, I would suggest Meesen would be worth a bit more than what Watts was.

Serious? Well that certainly makes it a very interesting time for the AFC. I don’t believe Meesen would be one to walk out on the club and give us nothing in return. But regardless, if he wants to end up at the Tigers then I’d much rather make a deal to get Meyer than to be left with nothing. Even those on this board who don’t rate me or my views on Meyer would be with me on that one.

 

[The Coon Dog]

If he does want to return to Vic & is out of contract then Adelaide's bargaining power is somewhat limited.

If another club offers you player x (but significantly less than you would like) you might have to accept that or lose him for nothing in the PSD (ala Nick Stevens).

Unpalatable either way.

 

[Gets!]

Nick Stevens is the only player who has basically just walked out and gone in the PSD. Clubs will usually do the right thing and work things out.

It won't happen as there'll be too many clubs interested in him. Tell me which Vic clubs couldn't do with a top 10 pick, 200cm ruckman, who can play forward, who's had 3 years development in one of the best systems in the comp?

I didnt start it, infact I only heard it late today. This rumour probably started in Adelaide where it was reported on the news or something.

He's bloody well on the money though. He is not sitting on the fence, he is just realising that we are halfway through the season so there is no point crapping on about trades and draft choices now.. we have footy games to win and hopefully finals to contest. Wait till that is over before crapping on about what player to trade for the norwood bloke. I feel the same way and the amount of stupid threats about who we should trade for and ####ing draft in 2015 is getting pretty bloody ridiculous right now. I am not sure what has happened to the Drummond who used to post on here before aliens probed him and inserted permanent PMS.

Apart from his first year with the Legs when he wasn’t physically ready to compete in the ruck, he's barely spent more than 10 minutes a game up forward. Maybe, and it's a big maybe, he’ll be a decent forward down the track but at this stage he’s too easily out bodied and doesn’t have strong enough hands to be a forward.
