Prediction What deals don't get done?

[Chaisa]

Every year there's always a deal that doesn't get completed or a player who was rumoured to be on the move staying.

Which of those happen this year?

Personally would be interested to see how McGovern gets done if the rumours of Gold Coast beating Carlton to the punch on signing McAdam are true (obviously if not then that probably happens). Especially given they seem linked to Setterfield too and given the Gibbs thing I'm not sure Adelaide will be willing to bend over.

Similar case with Tim Kelly - not sure Gaff and Lycett compo will have the quality the Cats want. Could see Sydney's pick 12 coming into play here given they'll use that pick anyway to match Blakey.

As for someone who was rumoured to be leaving but stays....it looks like Moore and Lonie will be two of those. Scully and Lobb perhaps?

 

[iameviljez]

Lachie Neale is the one I'd have my money on. I think that there's enough incentive (between West Coast being "in the window" and Kelly's contract running out next year) for Tim Kelly to move, but the Dockers have a history of playing hardball. They managed to pull off an enormous heist over GC last year with the Weller deal, and are more than happy to sit tight and stare down Neale and Brisbane for a year if needs be.

Neale will get done for overs if last year was anything to go by. And straight swap of picks for hogan. Gaff will stay. That wont happen. He will wantto redeem himself and win a premiership

 

[Wojcinski]

Mitch Duncan
Rory Lobb
Jesse Hogan
Chad Wingard

None will change clubs for 2019

I`d add Jack Martin too.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Anyone trying to get to Essendon. They're notoriously hard to deal with.

 

[doona]

Sydney signing a big name player.

 

[Suma Magic]

Won’t happen: Martin

50/50: May

Decent risk of not happening: Kelly, Hogan, Wingard

Stewart, Saad, Smith and Stringer say otherwise.
Thats 4 players in two years, 3 last year.

But yeah, lets say hard to deal with because its an easy sledge and plays off the chip off your shoulder

 

[Tom14]

Jack Martin. Nothing to do with Essendon but I don't think anyone can possibly satisfy what Gold Coast will ask, and I don't think he will be a FA when out of contract next year so no reason to move him on.

Essendon hard to deal with hahaha. Try Gold Coast, my friend.

Garbage.
Garlett was a first rounder and wanted to return home for family reasons. We ripped up the contract.
Ablett got home for unders IMO.
We paid overs for Weller.
We accepted unders for Bennell.
We accepted unders for Saad.

Probably overs if his injury run continues lol

You forgot wanting two firsts for Jack Martin

Yeah I don't see GC getting rid of Martin in the same off-season they're losing Lynch and quite possibly May. Unless someone gives them a mammoth offer.

As for Wingard, I have no idea what's going on there. Had you asked me three days ago I'd have said he stays for sure. Now I dunno.

Lachie Neale is the one I'd have my money on. I think that there's enough incentive (between West Coast being "in the window" and Kelly's contract running out next year) for Tim Kelly to move, but the Dockers have a history of playing hardball. They managed to pull off an enormous heist over GC last year with the Weller deal, and are more than happy to sit tight and stare down Neale and Brisbane for a year if needs be.

Would've agreed before the Hogan and Lobb news broke. Now I think they'll play ball to increase their chances of getting them.

 

[Jeff76]

Kelly won’t get done, Eagles don’t want Kelly as much as Kelly wants the Eagles.

 

[TwentyNine]

Geelong will eventually flub on Tim Kelly. Think Fremantle probably wind up dealing Neale if they can get Hogan, but if not then reckon they might hold him. For all that they are shithouse at, they don't tend to blink.

If Neale stays then Hogan stays at Melbourne too as Freo won't have the currency to land Hogan and stay in the draft this year. This will affect May also if he nominates Melbourne, but imo Sydney should go hard for May to replace Grundy in the medium-long term. Not sure where Collingwood are at with May now seeing Moore has recommitted to Collingwood.

Imo Freo are posturing to get the biggest return available on Neale, like how they bent GC over for Weller last year, can see a deal similar to the Dayne Beams trade going through for him. Brisbane have a lot of currency in regards to draft picks and role players who could be useful for Freo, so I expect it to get done if Freo are serious about Hogan.

Fair enough too

 

[Suma Magic]

All the big deals will be done I think. Except for Kelly.

I can't see Kelly happening. They want double what everyone thinks is reasonable PLUS WCE doesn't even have half of the picks Geelong want.

When you go the lengths of arranging trades with clubs that he has ruled out, then making them public, you know the club has no interest in trying to get a deal done with west coast.

 

[Squall]

Everyone going off the media reports. A lot of incorrect information floated out over the last week.
Tipping Hogan, Neale, Wingard, Kelly, Beams & May all get done.
