Problem is he is very highly rated at our club . So your right price and our clubs may be a long way apart .Could see us being interested here for the right price, especially as Rawlings was the one that drafted him.
Funnily enough he reminds me a bit of Leigh Brown, who we got in a similar scenario from Fremantle.

Almost all on our board including myself would be happy for him to stay .
The only reason some posters want him traded is for the draft capital he would provide as we don't have very good picks and we were bundled out earlier that was expected .
They see him as surplus to need atm and are not looking towards the future
But we are not talking about worth but what we would accept for a contracted first round tall with 3 years development.Oh course it is, but I'd be interested to know what your idea of draft capital was?
I think he's probably worth something anywhere from 25-35 in terms of picks now.
But we are not talking about worth but what we would accept for a contracted first round tall with 3 years development.
I do understand your point .
I feel if this trade period we let brander go for pick 25 or over there would be outrage .
You have missed the point completely."3 years development" is only relevant if there has actually been 3 years development.
I'm sure he's physically matured which is half the problem with talls of his age, but he probably still has the same amount of question marks on him as any first year tall forward regarding his actual ability at the top level.
Like you said, it's as much about WC recouping some draft collateral as it is Brander moving for better opportunity.
I don't think there would be a huge line for his services unless the trade value was fairly reasonable though.
Those are ask reasonable possibilities but I think the contract length with Clark gives us an extra year to find out.How about the Eagles keep Brander and play him in his position and see where that takes us. The trade value of Brander right now is likely at the lowest it will ever be. We would get a late 2nd rounder next year in any case.
Let Clark stay at Geelong and if he has another year like 2020 we pick him up for a late 2nd next season. If Clark has another nothing year in 2021 the same as 2020 his value will slide.
People who think Clark's value has increased after showing absolutely nothing in 2020 are dreaming.
Those are ask reasonable possibilities but I think the contract length with Clark gives us an extra year to find out.
By next year Mitch Duncan is 30, Cam Guthrie and Sam Menegola both 29. Getting a preseason and no injury interruptions next year could change the dialogue substantially.
Similarly an injury to a 33 year old Kennedy could also change the dialogue on Brander if a reshuffle puts him in a consistent 3rd tall position but you really only have next year to find out unless he signs on.
I don't think it's the right time to be drawing conclusions on either one in any case
I would be more than Happy to give our 1st rounder with a 3rd coming back
Would fit Richmond perfectly with Jack coming to the late stages in the foward line and Astbury getting near 30 in defence
Nah i would rather just keep brander TBH.West Coast would be utterly stoked with that.

Yeah I'm a bit confused by the Phillips link. We're not short of outside playersYou are likely correct.
It will be interesting if the Cats pounce on Phillips from the Pies, they chased him last season.
Also Higgins from North.
Both these guys will compete with Clark for midfield time.
And if you also snare Crouch and Cameron as Fa's that will impact non established players $$$ on future contracts.

That is a sh!t deal. I just vomited in my mouth.
A pick upgrade to a sliding pick in the 20's for Brander.
Maybe stick to commenting what you would like your club to do.
You should probably take this a bit less seriously.....
