With Luke Power seemingly on his way out at the lions (according to acker) James Bartel may now be a huge chance to get to his prefered destination. Brisbane. According to some, Bartel has no intentions on playing for Collingwood or Carlton and if he decides to leave the cats, the lions are the only club he wants to play for. With power and 500k out of the way, the lions will now be able to pay jimmy the 400k he thinks he deserves. To link up with Darren Cresswell would be ideal for Jimmy if he turns his back on the cats. Apparently best mates. (although only knew each other for 12 months). The cats in turn would not be able to fit Power into its cap, so there would have to be a 3rd party involved in the trade. My tip is Essendon will get Power and the cats will end up with pick 7.
 
Would be a poor result for us getting only pick 7 for a ready made midfielder in his early 20s.

Also, why would a player choose to move to Brisbane to be with an assistant coach who could be anywhere in 1-2 years time? It's not the same as moving to be with another player or coach who are more like permanent fixtures. Assistant coaches tend to have short tenures and move around a lot.

I've got a feeling now that he'll sign this week anyway.
 
you must be excited about this jack, it warrants 2 forums for you.
haha

I just feel pick 7 is not enough. need a player with it i think.

But i hope he signs.
 
Jack you brought up P7 and Eagleton in the other thread. Dont like that. Why does it have to be Essendon, why not deal with the Pies instead of the Bombers.

Bartel to Brisbane
Power to Collingwood
P5 to Cats

I Essendon ,id say we would look to lower our R2 pick eg.

Bartel to Brisbane
Power, P31(Cats R2) to Ess
P7,P23(Ess R2) to Cats

I wouldn't think there would be too many deals done between the pies and the lions. Essendon have heaps of cash to splash. They just don't broadcast it like the pies

They arn't dealing with each other. Power to us for Bartel. We on trade Power to to the Pies. really when you look at it that way, Power would be worth the Pies R1pick(P5) and R3 pick(P37)
 
Like i said on the Drafts and Trading Board, Geelong will be looking for pick 5 and a player, if they are going to entertain trades for Jimmy.
