The rumour ive heard is that we are targetting Mitch Morton by offering Coughlan and Pick 33.

We would then pick up his brother Cale with our Second Pick.

Thoughts?

We'd have to give something more. Maybe pick 30?

Morton + 30

for

Coughlan + 33

Comes down to Coughlans knee, if Tiges think its gone then I think that might be a fair trade.

From what I gather Coughlan was angry with the Tiges for the poor treatment and reco done on his knee. Blames the club for alot of his injury concerns. IMO if we were willing to give Brad Smith a chance, why not Coughlan

That's not true as far as i can tell. He holds no grudges at all, the second reco was a result of an accident in the shower which alerted him to the knees condition. His first reco didn't take properly, a consequence of the difficulty in attaching the tendon graft to the tibia/femur and this is a common problem in many cases (I.e. not the club, the doctors or club physio's fault). He won't be leaving and certainly not for Morton who we can get for nothing in the PSD.
 
I really hope Cogs doesnt go. Hopefully he'll stay. This Morton bloke, I havent seen much of him. Is he even any good?

Sounds like a shitty trade to me :thumbsd:

They also said Tigers want to pick up Mark Nicoski in the PSD. The same Mark Nicoski who signed on for 2 years like 5 days ago

But your right. He is our of contract. Which makes this thread even dumber
 
I would smash my keyboard, repair it, then smash it again out of spite

Effectivly the trade is Coughlan, pick 33 and Cotchin for Mitch Morton and Cale Morton

Coughlan is a proven midfielder who will have a full preseason behind him, Cotchin is the safe high draft pick we need and our recruiters are normally pretty at scoping out talent with our lower draft picks.

While Mitch Morton is a HFF/Wingman of which we have Brown, Pettifer, Edwards, Conners, Jackson, Tambling etc.

While Cale Morton is a 79kg 192cm outside wingman/flanker who could potentially be anything. However, I don't think we need any more receives or "small" key position players like Riewoldt, Moore, McGuane and Thurstfield

We need taller players, I would not be too disappointed with we pick up Cale Morton. If we pick up Cotchin also not disappointed. I think we know what our team needs. So we have to back our recruiting guys, on this one. Who said we ae going to trade for Mitch Morton?

The fact we have pick 35 instead of 33 leads me to believe this to be another unfounded rumour. IN the event that this went through I would not be happy especially if we gave up Coughlan and a pick for basically an untried kid, even allowing for the fact that Coughlan is coming of 2 recos
 
if we gave up cogs, pick 33(or 35) and cotchin for mitch morton and cale morton - i will feel sick to the stomach.:(

Reported on AAP:

"The Tigers were confident of securing West Coast forward Mitch Morton for an exchange of second and third round draft picks."

So Morton plus pick 30 and 46 for picks 19 and 35.

I'm OK with that, although there's a fair chance we won't actually use pick 35. It could be a our 5th pick, and we might not have 5 spaces.
