Trade hypotheticals

Jarryd Blair for Garlett? Blair is one of the players Mick liked. I know value wise it's unfair, but its not like Carlton is expecting too much for him anyways

Apparently the WA clubs are into Howlett.

Would be a trade equal to the Collins-Grigg trade that rocked the AFL world.

dont get it.

 

[Mego Red]

Starting price. But they wouldn't pay that anyone because if they could get him they could get him as a free agent.

Restricted free agent. We would match any offers.

I know for a fact that Heppell is a lifetime Essendon supporter and stoked to be playing football for the Bombers

If it's left to him he will never leave.

Remember this is trade Hypotheticals!! So it's about what they would be worth. Heppell is easily worth as much as Judd was on open market...

However let me assure you his mum is LIVID with the Essendon football club and if they continue down the track they're headed she will do what she can to get him at what she thinks is a club with a culture fit for her clearly talented boy.

My opinion he's worth the moon

Top 3 pick in this years draft, a late first and a top 7 player at any club.

Eg 4&5 and Viney from the Dees

Holy shit, he's not worth that. You have CRAZY ideas of value.

What would collingwood get for Tim Broomhead from a SA Club?

If Port didn't have such terrible depth in the ruck/fwd department I'd give up a first rounder. But I doubt it would happen.

Would you trade for sinclair?

I'd go for Giles, Gorringe or Lowden before Sinclair atm.

The rumours that were heavily into Sam Reid seem to be getting louder. keen to here what other people think would be a fair trade for him. Personally I think a top 6 pick is overs but our 2nd rounder is obviously unders. I'm thinking pick 6 (or there abouts) for Reid + something small in return, not sure what though.

Your first and 3rd for reid and their first will do it I think.

If we had a first, probably would.

I just don't see why Sydney would trade Reid. Contrary to popular belief following the Tippett and Buddy acquisitions, their key position depth is not good at all.

Sydney offered us pick 23 and Jesse White for Tippett and one could easily argue Tippett is a much better player.

2nd round pick MAX.

Doubt he has much value maybe our third . Not that interested anyway with ASADA hanging over his head .

Different situations though, don't think a 2nd rounder would get very close at all tbh.

They might not have a choice though that's the thing, no ones saying Sydney's going to go shop him around but we can offer him more money and the lure of being the main target at a young up and coming club that could have a forward line built around him, which id probably say would appeal to him more than 3rd or 4th fiddle, maybe even being sent to defence at Sydney.

Sure he's under contract and they could keep him but if he wants a trade I'd be very very surprised if they didn't just take the top 6 pick, especially in a draft where there should be quite a few KPD options available which probably suit defence more than Reid anyway, and with the amount of high picks they've got coming in (under this joke of an academy system... But let's not go there) they can set up their club for another 10 years here.

I'd give up a first rounder for Sam Reid easy. Unders. How long is left on the 5yr contract?

Or he could stay and be almost guaranteed finals berths and an opportunity for premierships for the next few years at least. If he was out of contract and we could offer some extra cash, it might go as you say; but I just don't see our appeal being strong enough to convince him to force Sydney to make a trade.

Have the Swans put an illegal clause in Reid's contract saying they have to trade him for a 2nd round pick? If so I agree this is a very fair trade.

I don't see why the Dogs would want him. He's a reasonable player but he'd just be another Crameri, Jones, Grant, Stringer etc. and not a genuine FF/CHF target.

Throwing money and draft picks at Boyd/Patton/Cameron I get, but Reid would cost too much for what he would add.

I understand that point too but I can see how we could have a bit of pull in this trade. Anyway kinda pointless discussing whether they will trade him or not as none of us have any idea whatsoever, but lately we've heard from a number of different sources that it's a real possibility so I'd rather just hear what non biased people would think he's worth.

I'm with you on that - it's what I've been arguing on the Dogs board since the rumours started a few months ago. We'd have to overpay, and he's not the kind of player I'd be prepared to do so for.

That said though, I don't agree that we shouldn't want him. He isn't a genuine target, no, but he improves our structure immensely. I actually prefer him as a defender and it's at CHB that I'd be playing him, but if we are to assume he plays forward, he takes heavy minutes up the ground and provides a target around half forward - something we've been seriously lacking. I don't think anybody would argue against the fact that we need to find a genuine #1 target from somewhere, but Reid would be within our best 22 with ease and add a lot to our forward structure. It's not just a #1 forward we're lacking, it's a forward. At the minute our three key forwards are a ruckman (Campbell), a midfielder/medium forward (Stringer) and a medium forward that's playing predominantly up the ground (Crameri), with another midfielder (Bontempelli) playing minutes there as well. I wouldn't complain if we did get him as I see how he improves us, but tend to agree he'd cost more than his output is probably worth.

Why couldn't he be a CHF or a FF though? Apart from Jones I don't see Reid like any of those other guys at all. Every time I've seen him play deep as the main target which isn't very often at Sydney, he's done really well and he definitely is capable of being a roaming CHF which he plays a similar role to up the ground.

Maccas made it pretty clear he wants a good functioning versatile forward unit, I just don't think it's his main plan to find a gorilla stay at home FF.

What Reid offers is another tall target (one that fits perfectly with the lists age demographic, being still young and developing but a couple of years ahead of our core young smalls) that brings the contested marking we truly lack up forward, but without being a liability defensively and is also capable of moving up the ground which I think is huge for what we're looking for.

We can absolutely build a really good forward line around Reid, Stringer, Crameri and Bonts IMO.

 

[beetz]

Reid is contracted and currently in the best 22 of a team whose premiership window is well and truly open for this year and following 2-3 at least.

Why the hell would he want a trade to the lowly Bulldogs and give all that up?
