Trade scenario

[SuburbanMe]

Speaking to my brother, and the subject of trading came up. My brother mentioned that Jack Watts would probably be well under Malthouse, and suggested a good trade would be Watts for Murphy.

I was impressed with that call, and upon thinking about it some more, would jump on it.

What are your thoughts guys?

I don't think Watts would be good under Malthouse (and he's worse in a shit team) and I think Murphy for Watts would be a bloody daft thing for Carlton to do.

Lol, Carlton would piss on that deal.

Really? At the end of the year, we'd be switching a 200 game 28 year old club captain and one of the better midfielders going around in the competition for a 100 game 24 year old flakey tall flanker / weak forward type. Carlton would think hard over it but I think they'd end up shitting on the deal.

We'd need to offer a fair bit more, Watts and a second rounder at least.

We should probably have a trade, draft and free agent thread soon. Just a general off season thread.

 

[Devastating Boris]

I would love that but there is no way it could happen. If you're talking straight swaps you're more likely looking at yarran id say.

 

[Blackas87]

If we could land Murphy as a trade, Dangerfield as a free agent.

A Midfield of Jones, Dangerfield, Murphy, Vince, Tyson, Viney, Brayshaw, Pretracca would be pretty dangerous, Dreaming though.

Will never happen. No player of any note wants to come to us.

I would swap Howe and Watts for the right deal. Both are next to useless tbh and will have some currency. Would love Yarran. His kicking skills is exactly what we need. Wouldn't go for Gibbs, and Murphy would be off the table I'd assume.

Problem number 1: Malthouse is unlikely to be coaching Carlton next year.

 

[Demon 16]

If Carlton do trade out their senior players, they will be after draft picks or quality kids.

Murphy would be the type of player we would be looking at though.

Yarran, but not Gibbs? Yarran is like Sylvia, potential whichgets shown only often enough to be kept around. Gibbs is just about the best player on their list (with Murphy) and is a mid which is all we should focus on. Mids, mids, mids.

 

[SuburbanMe]

If Watts can't be traded for someone like Murphy (even with another player thrown in for good measure - McKenzie?) then we're not gonna get much at all for him. The only other team that would probably even be interested would be St Kilda, and off what I've seen, I'd take Josh Bruce, but doubt they'd look at that.

I wouldn't be so keen on Gibbs to be honest.

He has the playing style that would suit our list, but he goes missing way too often for a top tier mid. He's on the soft side as well.

St Kilda would be after picks and kids as well, I would have thought.

I reckon it would be a side like Sydney or Hawthorn that might back themselves to get more out of him - but they would only throw up a second round pick - which would be in the thirties..
