Do you think Brisbane's Jason Akermanis is worth picking up at the end of 2006 - assuming Brisbane don't offer him a new contract?

I think he is, he is a class act. Who cares what his opinions are he is a freak on the football field. He adds that extra speed/class that Essendon lack at the moment.

Thoughts?

His wort it picking up as long as it is the right price, if it is to high then let him go.

I would take him for sure, a deal like 3rd rd pick and Mark Bolton would satisfy us??

Do you honestly think he would want to come to a club in Essendons position?
He may only have a couple of years left to play and he certainly wouldnt want to play for the rabble that is Essendon
 
not for essendon, who will you give for him anyways?
 
no risk involved at all, his going to be a great player for the next 3 yrs at least

You mean 3 years at most.

He is a very good player, but you dont trade for these types.

Two points

1) he is contracted to brisbane next year so he has to be traded

2) Matthew Lloyd has already come out publicly and declared he wouldnt really suit our club.

Then what is the point of Essendon recruiting Jason Akermanis if they arent near a Premiership?
 
i havent said essendon should get him, i clearly said they shouldnt

No he doesn't.

Brisbane can delist him, but if he isn't picked up, they have to pay out his contract.

Ty Zantuck was contracted to Richmond last year. We delisted Daniel McAlister when he had a contract, hoping someone else would pick him up. We redrafted him rather than paying him out.

Sorry Longy i forgot i had to put up a super technically correct answer for you ;) I know the situation was the same with Zantuck but lets face it we are talking chalk and cheese.

So you are confident that Brisbane will just delist Aker and not want anything for him ?

1. If we got him for nothing. Yes.
2. If we had trade/deal/wrangle. No.
Too old, too risky.

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't want to pay anything for him (other than a reasonable salary).
However, if we were to get him for free, which I severely doubt, I think it would be stupid to pass on a player of his class.

I really don't know to be honest. It's a pretty rare situation.

If he walks, what happens then? Will Brisbane trade him for whatever they can get, but then will Aker agree to the trade?

Will Brisbane refuse to delist him and force him out of footy?

If he's in the PSD though, I'd take him in a flash.

So you should to.Its common sense that he wouldnt want to come to a club like Essendon and even a dud like you should be able to understand that
