Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014

[AndrewVadermk2]

No because Harry is not a FA. That will be a trade.

thanks and bummer!

 

[AndrewVadermk2]

Lose Eddie to free agency, trade Jeffy, delist Ellard?

if he can't cement a place at the Bulldogs, should we chase him?

exactly, not worth anymore than a 3rd round surely

Interesting that the bulldogs recruited Panos, originally. They have built a forward line of classy flankers who can rotate through the midfield - Bontempelli, Stringer, Crameri.

Panos was a good competitor in the U18s, where he could use his size against kids. But he was too one dimensional, which would seem to have been addressed as an onballer.

A chance with one of those late picks we'll pick up in the trade period. Snag Membrey too!

Panos was EVERYWHERE in the SANFL GF. Impressive given against it was against a lot of AFL talent

He certainly made that game his bitch!! Could do worse than throw a rookie spot at him!

 

[De Iulio2Wiggins]

Liam Jones nominates Carlton.

I like where this is headed. If we field 15 forwards who average a goal a game, then we're guaranteed of kicking 100+ points a match (assuming the midfielders contribute a couple as well). QED.

Anyone here know much about Box Hill's Sicily? I don't see him breaking into the Hawks forward line anytime soon.

He was only drafted last year. Can't see him getting impatient.

You reckon etsal1?

I thought he had so much confidence about him that he could well be impatient by this time next year.

I meant can't see him being impatient this year. Unless he's so arrogant that he thinks he should get a game in one of the best forwardline's in the comp in his first year in a premiership year.

 

[choo]

I hear Sicily has a good boot on him

 

[AB_Blue]

Has a temper like a volcano as well......

 

[Big Sim]

Big Family too.

 

[Mezzoculo]

I knew that part, Em! He's behind Gunston, Breust, Puopolo and perhaps Cyril so would have to be extra patient. As the others have said, he is a firebrand with an ego to boot so may be jonesing to get a crack. He already seems to be wasting away in the VFL.

Obscure US-English verb but possible reference to Liam's flight to Carlton.

we should not discount him simply because he could not cement a place at the Bulldogs. If he has the attributes we want then please consider him.
Different coach may be just the thing.
Changing clubs may be the spur to generate a long fruitful career.
Many other players have fallen into this category before.

Of course we evaluate every player wanting a change of club. But 26 games in 5 years doesn't scream PICK ME.

Livewire players under 6 foot are a dime a dozen.

robbo replacement - yea bring them in

 

[inyourcool]

No, they always end up getting the boot!

 

[fnm_just a man]

I think he is no less skillful then quite a few of our players and works much harder both ways.

IF that's the case, last resort type trade then ... Not convinced he's starting 22 though. Most of our less skilful players are hardworking.

Hawks, swans, cats get criticised unfairly for landing FAs however this is a reflection of how well they are ran.

They also happened to be the best teams when FA came in. And FA looks set to give them a big helping hand in staying that way.

Being a top team at the time FA was introduced is a very, very fortunate position to be in.

Indeed.

Plus the fact that the Salary Cap has increased 400k on 2014 (a cool 900k since 2013), has the top clubs sitting pretty, and can continually top up.

True. Although Freo dont seem to be able to land anyone haha. Players dont want to move all the way out west

 

[GT619]

Pelchen: We've spoken to @KristianJaksch and @jono_orourke from @GWS_Giants. We're certainly interested in getting those boys to the club

 

[Blue and Silver]

I am curious. Is there a certain point where extra money stops being a selling point?

Surely the difference between 700k and 800k a year, while huge from one perspective doesn't seem so important when you consider the change in quality of life would be minimal
