Oh this board said the same thing about Betts, "we can get him in the draft, save our money, he costs too much"
Sometimes you trade to improve your team and Yarran would improve our team
It's unreal sometimes, just exactly how many Chris Yarran's have come out of the draft since he was taken? Not many players come to mind instantly with his skillset, pace and x-factor.
A former pick 6 however, may come at a price. People seem to be underrating him here. A required player at Carlton no doubt and not one they would like to give up easily given he is still only 24. Unless he wanted out, we would probably have to pay close to full price. Id say a high teens, low 20s is around the mark.
If we can get Brisbane's 2nd round pick in some form of Aish trade, would people take Yarran or go to the draft with it?
People will crucify me for even mentioning the idea, but what if CC turns out to be a slightly better version of Petrenko? Betts is 29 now. Wouldn't Yarran be a handy card to have up our sleeve as a replacement! But regardless, his skills would not go astray on our HBF. He is an upgrade on Hendo (ATS) who we could finally trade to a Vic team (or keep) if need be for maybe a second rounder?
