Would take him for a token pick if GWS want his salary off the books.
Pretty sure Gawns had a few reco's and is still going strong. Would be stupid to even think of getting rid of the general. It's ok to release a few for the cap squeeze but this is getting ridiculous.His name came up on our Trade thread last Friday I think.
Too many knee recos. GWS would probably want way more than anyone would offer. And I cant imagine clubs offering big long term deals to someone who is surely 1 reco away from medical retirement.
I don't think you understand what's going on. It's GWS actively considering trading him out.I reckon Patton stays on. Got a few years left IIRC on decent money with his injury history, that is some good job security.
Patton doesn't need to leave, he can just turn every trade request from the club down. With the way his knees are holding up he may just want to ride the next years out with a guaranteed income for himself in Sydney's his current deal on good money before his career is over.I don't think you understand what's going on.

Actually Hawks would be a good fitYeah chuck him in with Scully
The suggestion is that he would be traded to a club with plenty of cap space who would pay him the same money and duration as he would get at GWS, thereby getting the exact same guaranteed income. GWS would relieve some pressure from their salary cap, the club taking him would have plenty of cap space and give a minor pick in exchange for a bit of a dice roll that maybe he comes good.Patton doesn't need to leave, he can just turn every trade request from the club down.

Is GWS posturing to hold onto Shiel for 12 months by dumping Scully + Patton? Surely those 2 plus setterfield and lobb would have been on a combined 1.1-1.6mil next year so it puts GWS in a position where if essendon don't come up to what they are requesting they will hold him.
