What about in general?
With a longer time this year, they'd have some other out-there ideas possibly?

Its time the AFL got rid of this losing a player for nothing thru PSD/ND.
It is somewhat ludicrous that a Club would receive some compo pick for losing a player via free agency (eg "dud" player , yet a Club can lose an ("elite") player for zero via PSD (eg Tippett).

Giles should happen.
I was told they would try again for the sa boy from bulldogs cant remember his name.
All depends what happens with tippo.
Welcome Jamezy,
I think you may be onto something here. Caddy is looking at a few vic clubs who we could no doubt work into our trade for (show me the money Tippett) George Horlin-Smith from Geelong or maybe even Travis Varcoe or Christiansen or one of Norths big defenders etc. If Caddy looks to Carlton maybe we could target one of their outside mids. Obviously a shuffle of picks would be needed but we have to try to improve our deficient areas through Tippett leaving. We are in need of outside mids a KPD and ruckman.
Would that be Christian Howard?
Dear Mods, how about getting "CaptainDangerfield off the air for a bit. This is supposed to be reasoned discussion not a vile display of abuse and harassment. And to you mate, turn your computer off and give us all a break.

Yes, was from Glenelg.. Sacred Heart boy..
I think a deal will end up being put together that reflects a reasonable value for Tippett. It may not be a straight player or pick swap. It may have upgrades and even a third party. Central to whole thing will be that neither can be unreasonable because we both have strong out clauses. Our trade managers did very well last year, so let's assume they'll be good to go again for this year. And my hope? That we trade for one of those GES picks that delivers us another Crouch!
After you get over the treachery, There are several good parts to this - The opportunity to get a player or pick of some quality, and secondly the freeing up of big dollars. A third aspect is the strong display of leadership from Dangerfield and a fourth is the old ' one concussion away from retirement' question that we no longer have to worry about. Fifth is the fact that he has underachieved for the last contract - his last game was his best for ages.

I'm getting more worried AFGM is on the money. GC have said they won't trade Day or Gorringe and appears as if they're only going to offer the draft pick they get for Caddy.
The media reports may not be accurate to the dollar, but are you seriously suggesting that it wouldn't be around that sort of money? Let me guess, he's going to play for you on base salary.

Howard is a chance, they sniffed last season but he choose to stay.
Crows are seriously interested.
Crows have 3 needs in this trade i was told:
1) Ruck who can play forward (Giles maybe Gorringe);
2) KPD/CHB (I was told someone from Essendon i assume Pears or Hooker) They are also looking at Patful from Brisb but doubt he will come back;
3) Outside midf similar to David McKay (thought it was Pearce, wonder if Howard can play that role)?
*This trade period is gonna drag, so just have to wait and see.
The crows like Horlin-Smith but when i asked i was told its highly unlikely this season.
Wish it wasn't so long. It always gets played out in the media like this with no one showing their hand publicly, same with any kind of negotiation with a house, investment, business, car etc...etc...
I don't mind repeating myself a little in that I think the Mitch Clark trade last year is probably something similar to expect as they are of the same type of player, forward/ruck, similar contract, similar age in their peak, similar body type and atheleticism. Pick 12 got it done last year, I suspect something in the low/mid teens + 2nd rounder. Or perhaps Hayden Jolly who came out last week I think it was requesting a trade back to SA, so he could be thrown somewhere in there as well.
Alternatively maybe a 3 way trade with a Vic team involving Caddy with some swapping of some picks. He just needs to bloody nominate so we can further chalk up some hypotheticals for next couple weeks!!
Just thinking about the mitch clark comparison. With the sub rule the game has changed so that a fwd/ruck is one of the most important positions for teams to fill. This wasnt the case when Clark left Brisbane. I would argue he had been on a steady decline since his great 2009 season as well. Add to this that Kurt has produced the goods in a couple of high pressure finals plus the fact he's got the biggest clubs in the land clamoring for his services and i think KT is easily worth more in a trade than what Clark fetched last year.
Given that draft picks are generally over-rated in most pro sports I think his real value is easily pick 2 but given the circumstances and the fact GC are in the box seat, Gorringe plus the Caddy pick is fair to both teams.
If we were dealing with Sydney I would expect a fair trade but Im expecting AFGM to be right and we'll all be screaming in a week or 3. The GC posters on here seem like a reasonable bunch, lets hope their football club is the same and surprise us all.

Mate, don't worry about CaptainDangerfield - every club has supporters like him. We just smile politely at his rants. He's like that bogun uncle everyone has who gets drunk at Christmas and shouts at the rellies.
