List Mgmt. Possible trades for 2016

[Jeffcrowe]

The thing with trading in players is that it's not like going to a nice retail store where you just waltz in and order exactly what design you want, at the exact size, for the exact price you want to pay.

I imagine its really more like a Sunday morning trash and treasure stall. Youre not really sure what you're going to find, and you have to sort through what's there to find what fits - sometimes there might be something you weren't really looking for or don't even really need, but you can't ignore the quality. Or someone's junk might be you're treasure, you just have a bit more imagination.

So maybe a 185cm mid might be perfect, but maybe a 175cm mid is all that's sitting on the table. As long as they work, does it really matter?

It's really about what's there, what's available, and what you can make of it.

Basically get quality through the door , train them well and let them fight for their spots

Standard rises with more quality on the list and Comp for spots

Jack Steele would be top of my shopping list, pick 24 2014 draft to GWS, Canberra lad so no Victorian go home factor, 187cm 86Kg, not yet a big reputation, tough/hard at it, inside/outside mid that can play forward too...kid is a future gun in waiting. Would gladly give our 1st for him next draft.

Spot on bicks

Wayne would love him because can rest forward and take marks

Could be the best tackler in the Comp which doesn't hurt either

More importantly his name is pretty badass. Sounds like a renegade police officer who doesn't mind crossing a line to put the baddies away.

Yes that appeals .....the flexibility of roles & not having too many mids of a similar type

 

[azza77]

Tim broomhead out of contract at years end

No offencem but he's also fairly shit to be honest. Showed some flashes but he does nothing for me.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

This will never happen and he's vice captain but if Carlton were looking to offload Kade Simpson because they are building for future for a CEY and or 2nd round pick I'd strongly consider it

You could release smith to midfield and wing rotation and get 2-3 good years out of Simpson

Hibberd prob works better if you could pry him away without giving up anything

If we can get seasoned quality without giving up much then we maximise the window we are heading into

Simpson will be 33 next season?????

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Simpson will be 33 next season?????

Yeah missed the boat - fair call , thought he may be 31 but even that's 2 yrs too old for such a move

Maybe we should recruit Michael Tuck - he's aging well

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

Wonder if the club has looked at Jake Barrett from GWS. Absolute ball magnet at NEAFL level and has only had 1 game in his 3 years (pretty sure he came on as sub). Pretty quick too from memory.

His cousin is Luke Breust if I remember correctly.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

His cousin is Luke Breust if I remember correctly.

He's a poor kick , short , wins contested ball well without polish

Reminds me of a worse version of Sam gray but they both find he footy at will

He is quick but doesn't do much on the outside

What about KB .....heard he wants the games record back

You'd have to think the age profile of any traded player will be in that 22 - 26 year range

I'm happy with 26-29 if they can play and realistically some of these bottom clubs may want to do a st kilda which has worked out OK for the saints

You give up plenty to get a 25 yr old in his prime compared to a 28- 29 yr old

I'm talking a needs player for 3-4 years max for our window

If only boomer was a bit taller we could offer him an Alistair lynch like contract

ATS stage of where our team is placed ......get the best, not worried about the cost ....the window is open NOW

 

[Sanders]

Nope ....another midget ......speedy player, but honestly he again is not the type of player we need

Prestia is a line breaker ......we fixed up that deficiency already at the trade & draft table

hard to imagine a midfielder better suited to our needs than Prestia.

that you disagree is only more evidence that he is what we need.

 

[Sanders]

Is there the slightest chance that anyone on this board want;s to chase a player over 175cm ???????

10
Dion Prestia
Height
175 cm
DOB
12-10-1992

most of us have higher footy IQ's than the average pre-schooler and therefore don't have stupid, arbitrary ideas about midfielder height.

how old do you think Kade Simpson is? this might even be his last year.

About Michael Tucks age

Why didn't anyone take Caleb Daniel earlier?

 

[Sanders]

earlier?

how much earlier should he have gone

 

[Jeffcrowe]

earlier?

how much earlier should he have gone

Earlier than that midget from hawthorn ( the tassie kid taken in the 20s)

Daniel far better than him

yeah, we'll see. they've got plenty of runs on the board
