Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[Cap]

Get in Watts ear. You can see there is something to work on just needs to not be Melbourne*



*said the same thing about Tambling

 

[Mego Red]

I think there is something to work with. Watts could be good. But needs a vastly different team environment.

I'd just avoid Watts like the plague unless we can get him really cheap, like 2nd rounder or lower.

Lower

 

[spenze]

I wonder what Yarran would cost?

I mean they coughed up Garlett for pick 6 trillion...or 61

 

[JP Sauce]

The Tambling experiment has scared me off wanting Watts.

Plus he's shit.

 

[MRB37]

You can't teach toughness. Wouldn't want to give up anything big for Watts.

 

[Grenville]

As I said, no harm in it given the lack of real trades to discuss. I just think it's unrealistic to suggest trading players like JJ & Lyons, given the club's history. These trades sound great on paper (or computer screens), but the reality is that there's almost no chance of them happening as the players have to sign off on the trades and none of the players listed have shown any indication of wanting to leave. In Lyons' case, the very opposite is true - he's had offers and decided to stay loyal to Adelaide.

True, but if Lyons stays on the outer this year the odds on him requesting a trade have to go up. Best for both parties.
On that basis i think discussion of potential deals for him have plenty of merit. With that said i dont think there's a chance in hell of getting Aish for Lyons and a second rounder.

Lower

Ed or nick ?

Second round pick, somewhere around 25-30 I reckon.

 

[RodnyDangrfield]

Would Michael Talia be interested in joining his big brother. Out of contract this year, young key defender.

If we could get Yarran for a second rounder I'd be super stoked

 

[spenze]

Ed or nick ?

I'd rather either of those two than Watts

I don't know what's keeping Lyons here, but if he's perma-sub/ressies for yet another season, I'd suggest he's a huge chance to be traded. We are well stocked with his type. He would have almost zero value if he spends most of the year in the 2s though.

Agree with some of your sentiments re Jenkins, though I believe we would trade him (or others) vince style if it means improving the squad. The "new guard" has shown it isn't afraid to go in a different direction to that of the past (eg tex captain), so it's not hard to imagine a different approach to list management/trading.

What we have done over the past 15 years hasn't delivered a premiership after all.

I imagine Bulldogs would be pretty keen to keep him. And there is a family connection with Footscray. Would be a handy pick up though, he seems to be developing.

I would be stoked to have Yarran, boxing aside he would fill a hole in our 22.

I'm pretty sure it was an upgrade on a late pick?

I bet Chapman didn't push Yarrans head into the ground

 

[AFC979810]

Didn't you tell us Walsh had guaranteed Lyons he was best 22 that's why he signed for 2 years

Absolutely. Happy to put my hand up on that one and admit I got it wrong.

Now I just cannot understand why the hell Lyons signed? Can't get a game in the side and we still have Brad Crouch, Matt Crouch, Sam Kerridge all waiting in the wings. Plus he is fighting with Mitch Grigg for a spot in the 22.

Had guarantees of senior football at 3 other clubs. Baffling to me.

 

[Pdub]

I'd take Toumpas, but not Watts. Watts has been with Melbourne for 7 years now, he is what he is, and will always be that. Watts wasn't a stand out in his draft year, he had a great under 18 tournament that made him stand out, but before that he wasn't a stand out, he just found form at the right time, when he was bigger than everyone else.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

We should've gone for M Talia last off season. We desperately needed another mature KPD on our list (many were saying this pre trade period). He was on the outer, would've come relatively cheap, had the DT link, and was slightly diff in style to DT/Hartigan so would've been complementary to their style and all 3 could've played against tall forward lines. If we get an injury to a tall defender now we are screwed in the short term.

Yarran would be an awesome get for the right price.

 

[Tex Support]

If Trigg FC is going full rebuild, I'd get in their ear about Lachie Henderson...

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Ok, so let's take our hopeful hats off.

If you had to give one solitary pick (no additional pick or player swaps) what would L Henderson, Yarran, Aish be worth? They are all the right 'type' of target.

I'd give our first rounder for Henderson.

To be honest... I'm not fussed on James Aish or Yarran.

 

[Bacon8]

Wouldn't want Yarran with our 3rd.

I'd go Henderson in that mix. Genuine swingman - great at both ends.
