Trade Talk

[Basti28]

It's Michael Rischitelli FFS.

24 years old. 24.4 disposals (10 contested, 4 clearances) 6 tackles. Ranked AFL top 50 for virtually all key statistical indicators. He would be ranked number 1 across the board at Brisbane if not for S. Black.

Those stats would rank him 1st for clearances, 2nd for contested possessions and 3rd for both disposals and tackles at North.

The previous 7 x pick 16-17 draft picks:

Pittard-Menzel
Schoenmakers-Blease
Lobbe-Taylor
Brown-Hampson
Douglas-Pfieffer
Pattison-McQualter
Willoughby-Morrison

 

[DarwinRoo]

Good for him but he is not elite and not even close to being worth a first round pick and a player.

 

[Joshen]

not even close to being worth a first round pick and a player.

Agree. He would be a good get no doubt and would offer alot but his price would be too much imo his main weakness is his kicking no real hurt factor about it I would prefer a player with quality footskills if were are going to trade for a midfielder.

 

[Tas]

Walker missed a soda from 10m out that cost the Crows the game, bet he wont play next week.

 

[Twinkletoes]

I didn't say I agreed with it, I just said it's what they'd be asking. If you don't believe me, just head over to their board.

Luckily, for all AFL supporters, negotiations on trades won't be run by BF posting communities.

 

[Mr Reliable]

I can't see the Hawks dealing on either Roughead or Young. If anyone is up for trade at the end of this season I think it's going to be Ellis, Lewis or Murphy. Would any of that trio attract interest?

Not Murphy, although he has improved this year.

I can't believe the Hawks would let either of the other 2 go. Good midfielders don't grow on trees.

 

[Groucho]

You guys are aware that if you're going to get Walker from Adelaide you actually have to give Adelaide what they perceive Walker to be worth, right?

After watching him tonight he ain't worth much!

 

[Groucho]

What he is worth and what Adelaide perceive him to be worth can be two completely different things.

Well of course that's right but I guess what I was saying is that I doubt we would have any interest in him at all.

 

[tiltraise]

Forget about Walker if we're looking to trade with Adelaide we should be looking at Chris Knights.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Chris Knights and Salopek would be the ones who I would target.

 

[big78sam]

Forget about Walker if we're looking to trade with Adelaide we should be looking at Chris Knights.

Apparently Matt Rendell, our recruiting manager said Lindsay Thomas is on our shortlist. Knights or Shaun McKernan would seem to be the logical players involved, with picks thrown in as well where required to keep both sides happy

 

[roos_fanatic08]

What else would it take to get Thomas to Adelaide and get Knights to the roos?

 

[Mordecai]

Chris Knights is genuine class. I worry how durable he is though.

 

[Passmore]

Obviously there is something going on internally if he can get 18 touches in a team that gets absolutly hammered and then gets dropped the next week for someone like Ricky Dyson. Houli would be in our best 22, and i have no doubt he'd be in Essendons if something shifty wasn't going on. He has been having big totals in all his Bendigo games yet can't break into the side. You obviously havn't seen him play if you are comparing him to Jeremy Clayton.

Bachar Houli in our best 22??!! FFS.

Add Petrie, Zeibell, Anthony, Goldstein, Thomas and Lower to the line up from Sunday plus possibly Tarrant and MacMillan next season, who's spot does Bachar take?

I've seen Bachar play enough to know that he is an ok footballer. That's about where it ends. Personally if we are trading, I want players who will make a difference to our line up, not average footballers.

Don't forget the Essendon factor here. They rate their players way above what is realistic. Ricky Dyson was the second coming of Peter Matera 3 years ago. Now he's the dud keeping Houli out.

 

[The OBSTacle]

Jaryd Roughead? (maybe needs to be the main focal point without Buddy)
Justin Sherman? (outside runner who kicks goals)
Bernie Vince? (inside and outside mid who is a ball magnet)
Michael Rischitelli? (tough as nails onballer, also very quick and can push forward to kick goals)

I would be stoked if we could pick up any of these 4 players for the right price.

 

[Firebat]

The right price being 4th rounder + fringe player right?

Roughead - Hale & 1st round pick
Sherman - 2nd round pick/Urquart
Vince - 1st round pick
Rischitelli - 1st round pick

 

[GarnerSmash]

Roughead - Hale & 1st round pick
Sherman - 2nd round pick/Urquart
Vince - 1st round pick
Rischitelli - 1st round pick

I honestly cannot see us parting with our first round pick, regardless of who's on offer. Clubs are getting better and better at recruitment and a first rounder these days is almost a lock for a good to very good player. Apparently this draft is very strong too, so we will likely get a good 'un at 17.

Agreed.

We've got the best in the business with Brycey and I'm sure the club will continue the youth policy and pick up another quality kid.

Most likely a skilled mid with pace would be on the cards for our first pick.

I'm seeing CJ (ret), one of Smith/Obst, Hale & Benjamin as the most likely to hit the road.

I wouldn't have any idea who the club may target from other clubs, if any.

And nor should we unless it's part of a package to get an absolute gun with his best years ahead.

Personally, with where our list is at, I wouldn't go near anyone over the age of 22-23.

Have we actually ever ended up in front when we have traded away early drafy picks? Armstrong, Colbert, Thompson, Hay readily spring to mind. And while all except Hay brought something to the club, we can't really say that any were a resounding success.

 

[Hunters Host #3]

We have to be realistic.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if we are big players in trade week. Brad will be the coach who backs his players in, and only trade out of necessity or if he see an offer as hard to refuse, or seemingly in our favour. Gibson was our only trade last year and Brad will back Bryce and his footballing environment to get the best out of our younger players.

IMO, I would prefer to make one trade maximum, if the opportunity presents itself, and go knee deep into the draft again (with our 1st pick in hand).

I said Knights was an option at the start of the year, and is the type of player we should be looking at. I don't think we would be paying overs if we went after him. He would be a nice acquisition, but I wouldn't be chopping and changing too much with our list during trade week.

Brad won't do it.

 

[kool kangas]

l heard somewhere during the week that Knights either had or was going to re-sign with Adelaide......Cant remember where though.

 

[Zondor]

Surely a Kosi for Hales trade is on the cards. :stern look

 

[DarwinRoo]

Roughead - Hale & 1st round pick
Sherman - 2nd round pick/Urquart
Vince - 1st round pick
Rischitelli - 1st round pick

Vince and Roughead are good players but we should stay away from Sherman and Richitelli is not worth a first rounder, I don't know how people could even consider him to be worth that much. Would we get a first rounder for Wells or Swallow?
