Recruiting Targets Summary

[Dave Omsby]

Oops sorry , see it's already up , he played one game this year and kicked 3 goals . If he's behind Ceglar though sheesh

 

[VineValerian]

Another inside mid - say Woodward of Hawthorn?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Ryder has touched us up a couple of times playing ruck but Lobbe will still retain the no. 1 spot.

I only posed the Lobbe relegation hypothetical due to the "second big fish" being spoken about.

What if we do get a Sam Day too ?

Just post season / silly season smack talk.

I think we need another rumour to get our teeth into. Jetta to Port?

Is there even a good Jetta these days?

What if we do get a Sam Day too ?

If we were ever going to pull the trigger on him it'd be about now. Extended his contract to EO2016 earlier this year but has stalled somewhat with Tom Lynch rocketing past him up front and Zac Smith and Charlie Dixon much superior ruck-forwards.

Could do with a change of scenery and the opportunity to supersede Schulz.

Aaron Young is being sought out by a few clubs.

Might net Port a draft pick which could be on-traded for somebody else?

I expected this domino to fall. In a perfect world we'd keep him, but he is exactly the kind of player you lose (and sustain) when you become a top 4 type side.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Happens to a lot of clubs... Hawthorn lose Kennedy & McGlynn... Geelong trade guys like Prismall and Maloney.

Being a quality side means you cant keep all your quality players.

Probably has more value than Newton as well. The perfect way for it to fall out would be to get a nice return on Youngy that we can roll up into something larger, retain Newton's upside and have him take Young's minutes. Would not begrudge him going some where for more opportunity, would clearly add something to a team offering more time on the ground.

 

[Killer Power]

We can't afford to lose more than 1 of Newton, Moore and Young. Even if not getting the last spot in the team that depth is needed for when the injuries inevitably come. Why isn't anyone asking about Mitchell?? You know it makes sense

Would Melbourne be one?
Would Trengrove or Toumpus as possible trades from Melbourne still be possible?

 

[QPower]

I'd trade Newton and Moore before Young. He has the highest ceiling of all 3 IMO. He has also just signed a two year contract.

Personally think out of the Moore/Newton/Young trio, Moore has the biggest gap between perceived and actual value. Former pick 9 and all that. If one were to leave for better opportunities, he'd probably garner the best deal. That said, it would probably come down to who jumps first. I feel that our depth can sustain it, and Brendon Ah Chee will become the next player in this bracket.

I know that Carlton are one of the clubs interested, but I'm unsure who the others are.

I suspect Melbourne would be one? given they need to add as much talent as possible to their 22.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

If it helps us get Sam Day then do it....

Young for their second rounder?

We could potentially snag Makenzie for Young, I wouldn't be to upset if that was the case.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Or Day...

If someone said to me right now, "you can have Day or Young on you list tomorrow" I would pop around to Youngies to help him pack up his place and drive him over persoanally.

 

[Chachi]

I could live with Geelongs 2nd rounder (32) + a swap of late picks in their favour but getting only 50 is pretty annoying.

7 News reporting Port's interest in Lowden.

Lowden looks ok and I'm not sure if there's even a choice to be had but wouldn't Gorringe be a better fit?

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

We can lose one but we can't lose two of Young Newton Moore.

Key midfield depth and Young is the best of the lot.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

I posted it last week, but can confirm now that Lowden will have a tour of Port on Thursday.

For me Young is a keeper. I don't believe he wants to be traded so I don't believe it will happen. Just because other clubs enquire and would like certain players doesn't mean a thing. Just like us enquiring about Day.
In regards to Newton, unless he wants a trade, what benefit is pick 50 really going to give us?
