Traded James Stewart [traded to Essendon for pick 77]

[List Manager]

James Stewart's name has been bandied around as a potential trade out of GWS this coming off season.
Can anyone share any news as to which clubs may be interested in trading for him and what his trade value could be?
GWS supporters share some thoughts on which position Stewart may be best suited to as well as some strengths and weaknesses.

I'd be interested in his services from a Hawthorn perspective.

Genuine Ruck/Forward potential. Probably not good enough as a specialist in either, but combine both, he offers a bit.
With Hawthorn's interest in Vickery seemingly pretty concrete, not sure the Hawks will be considering him

 

[whatwhatsaywhat]

Would take him at the Dees.

Would like dees to have a look as a ruck/forward option.

 

[Supersuns]

He looked pretty good last year for them. Stuck behind Patton, lobb and Cameron though so don't get much a run at it.
Good set of hands on him

 

[grouse mate]

He's not very good in the ruck, If thats what clubs are after I'd look elsewhere.

 

[dlanod]

Passable to good forward. Indifferent ruck. A 2017 second rounder would probably get him with no worries if he wanted out, simply because just about every team wants forwards. It'd probably be a third rounder if he was out of contract.

From the GWS website
"Another talented tall who found it tough to play quality football on a consistent basis in the seniors, despite fantastic form in the NEAFL. Stewart threatened at times to have a breakout game, but it never eventuated and he spent several stints in the NEAFL. Used as a permanent forward with some pinch-hitting in the ruck. If he can start taking more grabs and finding more of the ball as a key forward, a spot will open up in the forward line for the versatile tall."

Not exactly a glowing reference. Academy points cut out at Pick 73. Anything before that would be OK

 

[Established1870]

Straight swap for Lobbe thanks.

What 22yo is rated a "good or better" ruck?! They take time to develop.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Would swap him for Majak

 

[Jeremias]

There has been talk for a long while now that Carlton are very interested.

Don't be surprised should he be a part of a package deal.

 

[TheBeardAmigos]

would like him at Port.

Can't SOS let us have this one?

(And Steele)

He's a fwd who could maybe swing back if needed, wouldnt want to rely on him playing ruck for much. I liken him to Simon Beaumont.

 

[jakefooty23]

Would have him at Freo, but unlikely he'd want to come. What is he worth?

 

[Jeremias]

Nope.

Looks like you can chase Steele though - seems unlikely he'll be at Carlton next year.

How is he at the HF / leading forward role?
Given we have zero depth in the area (hence chasing Cloke) we're probably going to consider anyone taller than 6 foot whose surname doesn't rhyme with "lickery".

Saddens me that it's now likely that I will have to put up with these jokes





...not to mention lickery himself

From what I can tell he is out of contract

From May 11
"Winning Whitfield's signature is a significant coup for the Giants, who will now turn their attention to out-of-contract youngsters Caleb Marchbank, James Stewart and Jack Steele."

I can't find any news of him re-signing, and if he has signed since May this thread become pointless.

 

[nahnah]

3rd rounder at best

 

[van peebles]

Pies apparently have sounded him out and would like to develop him into 2/3rd forward option.

Chf is probably his best position, he's quite mobile and a decent kick. He is probably the most like replacement we have for him Cameron which is why he is stuck in the 2's. Club would probably prefer to keep him for depth but it would be up to him, he's never appeared to be unhappy about being in Sydney.

Would he go to Collingwood given what happened a few years back?

You're right, I'll update the title.

Probably only a late future 2nd rounder at best then.
