Trade hypotheticals

Agree that there'd be more interest in Jones than Griffiths but would have thought there's more talk about latter because Dogs unlikely to be trading Jones? (or am I missing something?)[/QUOTE]

I don't think we will be trading him as such, but I am sure their will be interest from several clubs in a guy who hasn't proven he can/should be the number one forward but certainly could be a good number 2 KPF option. In saying that if we acquired another good tall forward which is all the rage at the moment there is no reason why he can't take his game to a new level in 2015. I'm not sure if he's disgruntled playing in the 2's in the past 4 weeks but he certainly is too good at VFL level.

However this trade period looms the largest on Jones out of any player on our list. It is no secret that we have plenty of money to splash and that both Patton and Reid are the main targets. A lot of our supporters suggest it is unlikely that we will be able to get one as both are required players by their respective clubs. But if the off chance happened and we were able to get one then for the sake of Jones getting back into our best 22 then he would be hoping that it is Reid that comes to the dogs rather than Patton. Particularly as Reid has the flexibility to play 2nd ruck or we could even use him at CHB which in my personal opinion is a greater issue than our forward line. But patton if we managed to get him would solely be anchored to our forward line and Tom Campbell would remain as he currently is as our 2nd ruck/KPF. That could find Jones on the outer.

Hypothetically if we got either of them our forward line would look like

Hunter Patton, Crameri
Campbell, Stringer, Dahlhaus

or

Hunter Reid, Crameri
Stringer, Jones, Dahlhaus.

How much would Jamie Elliot be worth??

Is guess 1st rounder and maybe steak knives
Personally I wouldn't trade him as he's proven quality, contracted and young and would therefore want overs. Steak knives don't interest me as I think we are good at developing players from late picks or even rookies, have reasonable depth and need more quality or experience in the right areas. Would need to be a top 10 pick for me to even start to think about it.

Would carlton consider swap for garlett for jetta from essendon,both players could to with a change.

Why would Carlton do that. They are both out of favour small forward, but one has the potential to be a 40+ goal kicker the other doesn't.

he is not getting a game,so he is not kickin 40 at the moment.
 
Griffiths for Crozier?

Would the dogs do Jones for Dylan Grimes?

Grimes looked like he was going to be a star and hasn't went along with it, Jones similar.

No, definitely not. Jones has shown the capabilities to play extremely good football, he just isn't consistent and his work rate is up and down. Grimes just isn't very good from my perspective. Grimes may end up making it while Jones doesn't, or vice versa, but it's not a trade I'd be prepared to do.
 
On the topic of Crozier, I'd love to have him at the Dogs. Wanted him in the 2011 draft (obviously selected Clay Smith out of necessity) and saw a bit of him as a youngster, grew up in the same area.

Probably been covered, but what would people expect us to give up?

Surely Freo would have to throw the steaknives in for that, Jones has more experience than Crozier. We have Hunter and Honeychurch already though.

I don't think so, both pretty even.
 
Broomhead is the one you need to worry about. Kennedy was always staying.

Well there has been some talk late today that he also Possibly Re-Signed.

Though will have to wait and see
