Hot Topic Trade/Free Agency Talk 2021 edition

Apologies if I missed this earlier but this place can sometimes move very quickly without going anywhere so I may have skipped a few pages...

 

[Mezzoculo]

That tweet is giving off some strong TBrowne vibes.. "...still some chance to be delisted..." yet also "...Blues being strongly urged to give him another year...".

 

[Jatz]

I didn’t pay quite as much attention this season but I’m shocked to see O’Brien potentially getting delisted?

Surely if we don’t think he’ll make it, another club would offer something for him?

 

[feffs93]

Why is everyone overrating other players and under rating ours.

Why is Brander worth more than SPS? SPS has shown 10x that of Brander.

And Cerra is worth pick 6.

Could think of 10x games where SPS has been better than average TBH

 

[Les Grossman playaaaa]

Eldest son is close with a sibling of a current listed Carlton player. Sibling mentioned some discussions and one referred to LOB having an atrocious diet and not following club recommendations. Also said a lot of the younger brigade are very upset that SPS is moving on.

Think it is acknowledged that the info was leaked to early and we should of split our first earlier -- essendon we're in front of us in the National draft and would of kept him -- as fate has it he probably should of stayed .. think durdin will make the deal sweeter in the end got something this kid.. amazing closing speed -- should of been exposed more but them's the apples ..

If we were pressured by the media in the decisions we made, it's no bloody wonder the joint was cleaned out and perhaps Austin should have gone with them. Who cares if it was made public we approached/lured Saad? I'm not sure I buy that. I also don't buy that Essendon would have used the pick they got for Daniher, on a player that publicly wanted to leave them. If Dodoro spun that one and it was believed, Austin is an idiot...

Corey Durdin could become Eddie Betts and it still doesn't make the deal any better in principle. I'm hoping Austin can have a much better trade period this time around, because he didn't have a great start if you ask me.

Fair enough

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Weird. I'd say he's one of the most attacking field kicks I've seen in the last decade. He goes for, and generally hits, targets that very few others would dare try

His ability in choosing and hitting targets is a real strength of his, has good footy brain and good mover, it’s manner in which he plays so far in his career that he needs to improve a bit…

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Yep, completely wrong.

Ok no problem…
All good, I’m not hoping the kid doesn’t come on, very talented, just think he always has and still does cruizes too much…

Another club has.

 

[Arr0w]

With us?

Not with us, with Lions

 

[Arr0w]

Any offer for LOB wouldn't be much, I would rather hold on to him for a year under a new coaching group/gameplan

A lot to play out here

A lot to play out here

Yeap...and it could go either way.

 

[Accidental genius]

I also think lob should be retained. His games at season end were pretty good.

we also saw improvements in some players like Kennedy and Dow in particular.

Maybe it was power’s influence but it looked like we were slowly starting to have some sort of a “player development” program in place. Hence I would keep the fringe players that we know have potential to become good footballers. Lob is one I would keep.

 

[El Topo]

I really liken his game style to Gunston from the Hawks, he would be more suited in that 3rd forward tall with his skills and footy IQ…

He has the attributes of a powered up version of Adam Tomlinson, he belongs on the wing

Just wondering. Given GC plethora of picks this year, could we trade our future 2nd to GC for maybe one their picks this year and a future GC 3rd. Then use either the GC 2nd or our 2nd pick plus our 6. Just wondering if there is a way of leveraging here for picks given GC practically won't be able to use all their picks this year...

 

[Uncle Fester]

Can some of the Carlton wog squad get on to Cerra and get him to nominate the Blues ASAP - you know some nice Italian 'persuasion'

That was done they day he was drafted. This has been coming since then.

After 12months Melbourne came to accept that Tomlinson on the wing was a failure and moved him back. Like pretty much every other time playing a tall on the wing has been tried. Has a team made the finals doing it?

I’m not a fan of playing talls on the wing, nearly all get found out quickly, he may be the exception with he’s skill set but it’s down forward for me…

Shows how much attention I've paid this year - maintain however that Luko is a tall flanker who gets categorised as a KPP based on his junior career

Rendell again, talking about North list "zoohar" wow

You don't mess with the Zurhaar....

 

[4thchicken]

Looks like suns aren't looking for a lot of picks so perhaps something along the lines of

6 -> GCS -> 19, 22, 43, 55 -> Blues
19 -> cats -> clark -> freo
25 + clark -> cerra

Leaves blues with 22, 43, 55, 61, 79
