Recommitted Jonathon Patton [contracted to 2019, stayed at GWS]

[davis_756]

Doubt it the cap space money will be used for Kelly,Congilo,Whitfield on longterm contracts

I do think he will be traded but the point will remain they no longer need to do so if the other 4 are gone so they can't be forced into accepting whatever essendon offer.

I think Essendon will give 2 firsts but they probably want something back maybe they pick they get from Lobb will be traded to Essendon?

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.

We will hold them if we don't get the right deal.

Would take him for a token pick if GWS want his salary off the books.

Geez he'd be a 600 to 1 shot mate. He seemed like the next Jonathan Brown when he was 18 but the poor dude is shot.

Rumour that Hawks are into him. I’d be ok with giving him a crack, even if he doesn’t play next season.

No guarantee that Scully will be on the park in 2019 either.....That's a combined $1.6million of our salary-cap, sitting in the stands for 12 months.

Only for a nominal pick at best thanks.

Getting Patton cheap is much more important than getting beams for 2 1sts.

I think that’s definitely the expectation!

I think the game style now has gone past him.

That’s what they said about Hawkins and look at his 2018 season.

Could turn him around, like Tyrone.

 

[pinot]

Hasnt played enough football - this is one unlucky guy.

 

[Orange Agent]

The rule changes might help him a bit. Is still a decent lead and mark fwd and had an exceptional set shot for a while. Depends how the coaches play it with the guy starting in the goal square, some may go a small there to sprint straight up the ground.

I was thinking more like Jono Hay. Or Lance Picione. Or... you get my drift.

 

[PhatHQ]

I’m all in on “The General” to Hawthorn, along for the ride with Scully.
He has the time to rehab, we have the cap space & we need a FF.

Get it done!

That's what every club has said about every player looking for a trade. Really nothing new.

Every contracted player?

If they are contracted its unsurprising.

If they arent then obviously they wouldnt.

He's worth a punt, the knees have robbed him of the brilliance but a competent FF who understands how to play FF (an underrated skill) is structurally quite valuable.

 

[Stifler's mom]

Would rather the Pies chase Patton than Beams.

 

[1990crow]

Brisbane, Gold Coast, Geelong, Hawthorn, Saints, Melbourne (with Hogan going), Collingwood should all be having a crack. If they got him onto the park and didn’t get unlucky with another ACL he would be a major asset up forward at least providing a contest.

How many of your recent premierships was Jarred Waite was involved in?

 

[Tbone McGraw]

I doubt gws let Patton go, unless they think he is done due to injury.

Is it 3 times he has done a knee?

He is done imo, already slow and lumbering and lacking defensive pressure and with how the game has changed I could only see him filling in at a bottom team
I would think he would be a more immobile version of Casboult
Sad as he had so much potential and his 2016 was pretty good
Anyone offering a 3rd round and I think the Giants would take it

 

[shintemaster]

Unless GWS are paying the majority of his wage (which would seem to negate the appeal for them considering they need to dump salary $) I personally would only be entertaining a trade for Patton that involved GWS also handing over picks to my club. I don't see why any club would be willing to take Patton on at their cost. Just my 2c.
