Trade hypotheticals

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

I'm not trying to be offensive but if the media are right, no club wants Garlett.

I can't see us dropping down the 2nd rnd for him. If that's what Blues wanted I wouldn't bother with him.

Is he contracted? If so you will keep him.
If he's out if contract we can either trade said pick, wait until 1st list lodgement & he's delisted & pick up via delisted FA rules or draft him via PSD.

I'm not fussed if he gets to MFC but I wouldn't pay much for him.
Is Melbourne not a club? I assume Garlett has nominated Melbourne because he's been made an offer
 
Option 1:
Bris: Beams
Coll: Greenwood, 5
North: Merrett, 25

----------------------

Option 2:
Bris: Beams
Coll: Greenwood, 5, 55
North: 25, 30

--------------------------

Option 3:
Bris: Beams
Coll: Greenwood, 5
GWS: Patfull
North: JOR

Treloar and family are reportedly mad Carlton. Robinson was linked with a move to Collingwood.

Brisbane
In: Beams,
Out: Pick 5, Patfull

Collingwood
In: Robinson, Pick 5
Out: Beams

GWS
In: Pick 7, Patfull
Out Treloar

Carlton
In: Treloar
Out: Pick 7, Robinson

Not sure what needs to be added/moved to balance it out a touch more. Carlton obviously getting the best out of that deal.

Treloar for Pick 7 and Robinson? Get real.

Ok if I really need to spell it out, no clubs had reportedly wanted Garlett until he announced today that his preferred club is Melb.

I'm not looking for a fight over this & you are arguing semantics.

Like I've said, I don't really care if we get him but if we do I wouldn't give up much, hence the 4th rnd pick offer or pick him up via means where Blues get nothing.

Tough one. Option 2 or 3 for North.

Feel that North will want a player in return for Greenwood, but the possibility of two 2nd rounders is tempting, especially if we could on-trade it for someone. Who though, I dont know.

I'm not looking for a fight or arguing semantics. There's a pretty big difference between 'the media are reporting that no club wants him' & 'he's been linked to Melbourne & that's the very reason he's being discussed here'.

Again, there's absolutely no reason to trade 4th round picks. In practice there'll be no difference between Melbourne's 4th round & Carlton's 4th round. If Carlton want 5 draftees then their 5th round would be pretty much the next pick too (although maybe Essendon would still be picking at this stage with their draft penalties).

EDIT: What you're really saying is that you wouldn't be interested in trading for Garlett

So apparently we're keen on Varcoe.
How do we make the trade happen?

Hopefully a second round pick, more likely a third rounder. There isn't much of value for Geelong on the list that they would likely get access to. Lycett would be good, but West Coast is unlikely to trdae him with Cox gone.

Sounds like McGuane last year. Announced he wanted to come to Brisbane... except it turned out Brisbane wasn't hugely keen on him. Ended up signing as a DFA to fill our last list spot.

Would Geelong settle for a third round pick?
I would back us to get a better player for our needs in the draft in the second round.
But I'm a realist and expect Geelong to demand more than a third round pick.

With talk that Treloar could be interested in a move back to Vic, even if GWS don't want to move him on, perhaps there is an opening for Melbourne to try and snag themselves a bounty.
Pick 2, 3 and their 3rd round pick; and in return they get Treloar, Cameron/Boyd, Frost. Melbourne add to their spine depth, and GWS now have picks 2, 3, 4 to start shopping around to secure some ready made talent. Gold Coast have finally realised to move up they need experience and went and got Malceski, and while GWS got Shaw and Mumford last year they need more experience to ease the burden on the likes of Shiel and co.
3 picks in the top 5 and they could manouvre with St.Kilda to get number one, while also bringing other ready made talent.

Wouldn't GWS ask for pick 1 for any of Treloar/Cameron/Boyd?

Roos wanted Garlett before Garlett nominated Melbourne and you are seriously selling him short, he'll be a very handy addition if he can keep his head on right.

I'm not selling him short at all. I've said he has obvious talent but I wouldn't give up much for him.

He can kick goals which is an obvious need but due to his circumstances & the fact that at this time no other club has been linked to him it is a buyers market!

Now does anyone know if he's contracted or coming out of contract?

Quick question. People seem to think that Mitch Clarke is worth a 2nd rd selection. Question. If this is so then why isn't Garlett worth the same?

Clarke. Most goals scored in a season = 27 and 29.
Garlett. Scored +39 goals x3 of the last four years


Clarke. Hasn't played this year due to injury and mental illness.
Garlett. Hasn't played a lot of football this year due to injury and off-field issues

Clarke. Concerns he won't get back to his best due to health and off-field issues.
Garlett. Concerns he won't get back to his best due to health and off-field issues.


Yes one is (supposedly) a KPF and on a small forward but one is also proven to be within the top handfull of players for his position and the other hasn't.


Yet Melbourne supporters will go on about Garlett having little to no trade value and Clarke being worth a 2nd rd selection .........
