Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VI

[Westlo]

Jack Martin will look good in red and black in 2020 then.

Can't wait for GC to delist him a year early so we can get him in as a DFA.

Isn’t he OOC next year anyway??

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Could the club try Mitch Brown in the ruck?

Could the club try Mitch Brown in the ruck?

No.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

No.

Not full time but pinch hit when Bellcho comes off for a rest I don't want to see Daniher get used in the ruck and McKernan is a bit short.

McKernan is taller and heavier. Brown far too light for the ruck.

 

[Phone]

technically the club could try him

 

[Beerfish]

And theoretically they might.

It seems to me they just look at the previous 4 years when deciding whether you can trade a future 1st.
Forget about how it will look in 2020 for now.
When 2019 trade period comes around we will have taken 3 1sts from 2015-2018. That’s all they are concerned with so we are good to go with trading more future picks.

When 2020 comes around, if we haven’t taken 4 1sts in the 2016-2019 period, as seems likely at this stage unless we bring in more 1sts, we may be restricted from trading further future picks (depending how the AFL are feeling at the time).

Deleted my earlier post because in fairness to McGowan if that's the case it's a fair summary.

If we can trade ourselves to the point that we haven't had a first round pick for 4 years and that fits in with the rule to prevent that scenario from happening so be it

 

[Nifft]

McKernan is taller and heavier. Brown far too light for the ruck.

If only Brown had a longer neck....

 

[I Remember Bluey]

McKernan is taller and heavier. Brown far too short in the neck for the ruck.

EFA

Edit: Beaten by nifft

 

[Keystone agony]

No.

I believe he is at the end of 2019. ie next year

 

[Yoda_]

Have we picked up Tom Campbell as a DFA yet?

 

[Godzke]

Apparently Blues are prepared to trade #1 if they get two picks inside top 10. Do the rules allow trading of future picks at this stage or just picks for this draft?

Why? Are we planning on not making finals for a couple of years?

 

[Godzke]

Not saying we should trade for it, just more fyi

I think if they're smart they go 1 for 3 and 6, then try to turn 3 (Rankine) into 5 and 10.

1. Walsh
2. Lukosius
3. Rankine
4. Blakey (StK bid, Syd match)
5. M King
6. Rozee
7. Smith
8. Thomas (WB bid, NM match)
9. Caldwell
10. Hately
11. B King
12. Williams (Yes, better forward but is still a good ruck)

Who is they?

Who is they?

Carlton.

 

[Haychh]

Gold Coast would be silly to do that deal imo. Surely they’re better served getting 3 SA mates up there together and try and get them all to stay rather than 1 Vic and 1 SA boy

That's what I'm doing as GC. Or trying to turn 3 into 5 and 10 to get Lukosius/Rozee/Hately/Valente (leadership a big tick)

You don't need to be smart, you need other clubs to be morons to make those trades. Giving up 3 and 6 for 1 and 5 and 10 for 3 would be so dumb.

Only chance would be one of the SA based clubs willing to pay completely over the top to get access to the SA player they want.

Doubt it will happen.

 

[TheGrizz]

Have we picked up Tom Campbell as a DFA yet?

Almost.

Just waiting on the certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages to confirm his name is offically changed to Tom Scampbell before contracts are signed.
