If brander asked for a trade we would accommodate him . We are not Geelong.West coast won't trade him unless there's an exceptional offer - he's contracted & we rate him v.highly

We won't shop him around
The problem with the mitch brown trade was saints wanted a contracted player then tried to low ball us .Agreed we wouldn't shop him around - but not convinced we'd accommodate a trade if requested. Can see us taking the mitch brown route of asking him to play out his contract, unless an exceptional offer presented itself.
What position was he playing in the WAFL?No one knows. That's the problem.
West Coast will need to clearly communicate to both Kennedy and Brander that 2021 will be the last year Kennedy plays.View attachment 981817
By the end of 2021, Kennedy will probably be done, and Darling will have already seen his prime years (ages 25-29, 2017-2021), while Brander and Oscar Allen will still have what should be their prime years well ahead of them (2024-2028). I'd commit to both long-term as the Eagles' tall forward combo of the future.
Talls take longer to develop.So Clark a AA u18 half back / winger at pick 15, showed a bit in year 1 but nothing in year two due to injury and better players keeping him out. Needs time to really develop.
Brander, AA u18 chb pick 13. KP back or forward. Third year stuck behind some very good premiership talls and Oscar Allen, hip injury derailed his chances mid season. Shown glimspes but to date cant force his way into a premiership side.
Gee, they sound very similar dont they?
But the Eagles would need to add another 1st plus Brander to get him?
Now then it would be the. Eagles turn to laugh and say GAGF! And they would be spot on too.
Both clubs rate these kids very highly internally. BF posters only rate their own.
West Coast will need to clearly communicate to both Kennedy and Brander that 2021 will be the last year Kennedy plays.
Sounds like good planning to me.
Well he hasn’t kicked a goal and is about as threatening asa wet lettuce but hey eagles supporters think he’s more valuable than Tim kelly and oh did I tell ya he was AA chb in his junior days therefore he’s guaranteed to be superstar.I have only seen Brander play up the ground , Whats his foward craft like ?
He was highly rated at junior level where do the eagles supporters see his future best position foward/defence
Brander is still competing with Darling Allen Waterman and Williams post Kennedy though.

What would the most opposition fans would be willing to give up?
a) 20-25
b) 25-30
c) 30-35
d) 35-40
e) 40-50
f) 50+
Narkle and 34 is all I'd be giving up at this stage
and who ever they target when they get a chance. My bet is McDonald will be on the WC long term target list. .. and Rotham probably a chance to get games too?
In the end ..it's in WC court. He is contracted. If they want to keep him..he stays.

Id give B if we had such a pick but we dont..C and narkle would be my likely offer and i doubt you take that.
Thats true...he was one of a number of players id consider in such a trade, not the only one.
So a fringe mid and the Cats pick 40 after compo picks and bids for a contracted Brander PLUS a 3rd rounder?
There is a reason why Geelong have been keen on him for multiple years and wanted him in the Kelly trade.
If he was out of contract and asked for a trade its a starting point. But no way wouldthey lethim go under contract for that.
PO which other names would you suggest to be considered ?
What type of players do you need? I had a few in mind but i expect youll only trade him if it fills a need for you.
We didn't want players..

For eagles to even consider trading such a phenomenal talent cats would have to give up Clark and their first rounder .
