Trade hypotheticals

on the weekend he had a good 5m of clearnace running down the wing and he decides to run into the opposition player and handball is out of play turning it over..

At least the handball goes out and you have Barlow, Fyfe, Mundy and the man giant Sandilands in the ruck/throw in

Was Probs margetts umpiring.

Who knows...I go back to a Bill O'Reilly quote (cricketer)..."I only tolerate umpires because the laws of the game say they have to be out there"
 
Would anyone entertain a trade of a (probably mid-late) 2nd round pick for Essendon's 3rd (likely to be 45-50) for any of the players Yoda_ mentioned earlier (Jetta, Hardingham, Nick O'Brien, Pears), or Ariel Steinberg? I imagine we'll be looking to trade into the 2nd round. Or even a close exchange of 1st round picks, potentially, though I guess you'd have to be very keen on someone filling a need. Steinberg in particular has been killing it in the VFL and is unfortunate to be behind our handful of KPDs, Hardingham hasn't played much this year but is a handy versatile defender / swingman in a pinch, and Jetta's problems are from the shoulders up, he might benefit from a change of scenery. Any takers?
 
I'd be keen to throw Blair, Lumumba, Goldsack, Young and Josh Thomas on the block and see if we can get a decent player back or draft picks.

I would hardly be expecting the world for any of them though.
I'd consider Goldsack for some depth or 2nd tall until Apeness is ready. Would our third rounder get him?

He's a free agent.
 
Trying to keep the bullshit out of it, what impact will the ASADA shit have on the value of a bombers player?

Eg - if Pears is worth 30 (or 40 - or whatever) without the risk of suspension - then how much does the ASADA risk impact his value?

If he has received a show cause, and if the court case fails next month, then a ban is a very real scenario. I know I'd want west coast to be pricing in this risk.

Similarly, how will this risk impact the recruiting of players from other teams?
 
Let's say GWS end up with pick 1

Carlton

Give: Garllett and Pick 5

Receive: Pick 1 and Tomlinson
1. No way would GWS do that.
2. St. Kilda are certainties for the spoon

So GWS are downgrading a pick AND a player? Why in gods name would they do that?

For pick 1 they could pry Hooker or Talia loose. Probably get a sweetener as well.

They could make a play for Bennell, Heppell, Wingard.

Garlett? Garlett??

Hooker is now worth pick 1 after 1 good season?
 
Cheers for the article. I actually meant what would it take to trade him from a Freo perspective

Re-reading the article made me think it probably won't happen so trade value is probably irrelevant. Pretty sloppy stuff and probably made-up, much like most of the information in it. As for what we would get for him, that's out of my league. Never get it right so I leave that to the experts.:)

By my records he has had only 1 top 10 finish in your B&F? A 9th last year behind Heath Hocking.

Number 1 draft pick plus a sweetner? Please that is fantasty land.
So which of his 2012 and 2013 season's weren't good?
 
Doesn't impact value, may impact whether you risk taking them.

I disagree. IMO the risk of a ban should be factored in if the decision-making process is rational. The only question is how great a risk clubs see it as.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts. Happy to agree to disagree but I can see the logic in your opinion.

Where did he end up in your B&F in 2012? Solid last year - break out this year. But we may have difference of opinions what constitutes good.

Go and ask the Saint supporters to swap McCartin for Hooker.
