Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014

[coryne]

Agree coryne but would take time to assimilate with our team and structures/plan. Mightn't always get the 3rd defender as if he gets on a role, I could see him getting some attention. All about confidence with him - if he's not getting a mark, push up to the wing like Cas and earn it.

Reckon we'll be happy with him if we get him cheap enough.

Does it matter if it takes a while for him to gel into the side ??? We won't be pushing for #17 in 2015 anyway (please prove me wrong boys !!!!!!!!!) And if he gets onto a roll and starts getting more attention then all the better. Would love nothing more than Cas or Henderson getting the 3rd defender !!!!!!

Point of difference. He struggled at the WB as a primary target. He would be a 3rd tall at Carlton behind Cas and Henderson, and would also have the 3rd defender.

Agree with this.

Some players look awful in a bad team. Make the change, focus off, leads to much better output.

I like this much more than jesse white and q lynch rumours we recently dealt with

I'm pretty sure that my opinion of some people on this forum has kept them awake at night a few times.

That and the ad for Annabelle.

That doll is ****ing freaky...

Blues building for sustained success
Carlton’s recruiting team will take a two-pronged approach to the upcoming trade period and drafts, as the Blues look to build for sustained success.
Last year Carlton was one of the most active clubs over the trade period, securing experienced recruits Dale Thomas, Sam Docherty and Andrejs Everitt. Meanwhile through the draft period the Blues brought in further experience through the addition of Cameron Wood, along with young talent including Patrick Cripps, Nick Holman, Blaine Johnson and Ciaran Sheehan who all made their debut in 2014.
Recruiting manager Shane Rogers says he plans to adopt similar tactics this year.
“We’re trying to build the future of the club and we’re trying to address it in two ways. Firstly via the draft and bringing in young, fresh talent; secondly we’re trying to trade in players in the 21-24 age bracket who can have an impact now,” Rogers said.

Several clubs shown interest in Jeffy.

Rogers says if trades are too expensive - we'll keep our picks & go to draft. In other words - Dogs won't be getting much for Jones.

Matt Finnis on SEN - saints want 3 picks in top 20.

If they trade pick 1 for pick 3, JOR & Jaksch they'll still need to find another 2 first round picks. Hopefully they trade pick 1 for something else then.

Personally I think St Kilda are in la la land. Pick 3 JOR and Jaksch is more than we gave for Judd whos credentials at the time were already in the afls elite. I understand pick 1 holds a fair bit of value but they are dropping 2 spots not placing themselves out of the top 10.

I personally think STK are nuts for trading pick 1 for JOR, KJ & pick 3. JOR & KJ haven't shown much. They're essentially trading Petracca for JOR, KJ & pick 3. You'd want a proven player + a very good pick for pick 1. Neither player is proven. Imagine if both are busts.

This trade would be an absolute killing for St. Kilda esp in a fairly even draft like this year. Is Petracca that much better than McCartin and/or Bradshaw ??? One of those two would STILL be available at #3, and they will have also acquired JO'R and Jaksch in the process.

I thought it would be us chasing him.
HS said yesterday that a club had given him a deal & he accepted but they wouldn't say who it was.

Is the type we need - but I'm not thrilled.

Feel like we're doing a Richmond.

What's with all the Bulldogs rejects being linked to Carlton, I preferred hearing us being linked to Tom Mitchell

 

[etsal1]

Pick 62 the article says.

The Blues have been in talks with the Bulldogs about a trade, which could be achieved by as little as a fourth-round selection, which is currently pick 62.

 

[coryne]

so our 3rd and 4th rd selections for Jones and Tutt ???

More so - why are we asking for them to come in the first place. Jones I could live with. Jones + Tutt - not so sure.

Yep, if they get GWS's #3 pick back as well then a massive win by STK. 3 for 1 & you'd like to think a pretty decent pickup for #3 to add to the haul last year & handy youngsters in JOR & JK.

 

[The Bighouse]

In that case we'd really want our 5th rounder for Tutt. J. Lyons may not be on the table if we're trading for Tutt.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Why would we be interested in Tutt?

 

[Cori]

'ello chaps, just wondering what the dogs would have to add to Jones in order to steal Cameron Giles from you guys? Is he well regarded within the club?

I have no idea.

 

[The Bighouse]

Was our last Canberra product. A. Hamill?

Try your second round pick AT LEAST. Very highly regarded.

 

[Cori]

I followed his progress a little last year as someone I would have loved to have seen at the dogs. How has his development been this year?

Broken foot didn't help his case after a fair start to the year.

Still in moon boot and will need to build core strength but has some terrific traits as a player.
