The Trade Thread

Fire away....

[PeterJames 46]

Davey. might get a rookie pick.

[Eth 4]

I think it's too early to discuss.

[Guest watts04]

newton = might get a potato

[Footynut 302]

bundle davey, bate, dunn, newton together in a package deal for GWS for whatever we can get in return

[ICU2 Jerry Jerry 257]

This.

Win win for both clubs

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Hardly. Clubs wont buy showbags of other clubs NQRs.

a kebab with the lot would be fair

[ICU2 Jerry Jerry 257]

they could get the whole bunch for 1 top 20 pick I reckon. Win for us and they get some cheap list fillers to help them pay for a few marquee types. Like I said, win win

Posted this in another thread: Unless Davey shows something during the rest of the year I agree we should at least consider trading him. It could be a win-win situation if we can secure either a very high draft pick or a promising youngster from a club that is close to a premiership and has a stronger midfielder where Davey is not the first to be tagged. I would rather see a young guy get a chance after today's performance

Its just a win for us. They dont need stocking fillers for Xmas. Clubs arent that dumb.

[Tony Tea 2,806]

Newton for Kozzy. Spud for spud. Lose / lose.

[rumpole 515]

We need a strong key forward badly.

[Range Rover 1,935]

Davey for any mammal with a vertebrae.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,030]

Perhaps GWS would poach Davey off us?

Honestly, he's worth a hell of a lot to us and is just in some really poor form at the moment, but Nobody has enough credits in the bank to survive in the senior side after a game like that. Obviously we can't and won't trade him, but he has to be dropped.

[Striker475 696]

Morton for a small back of some sort.

[Mydee 288]

Fire away....

Aweful post trade bait is an off season distraction. You don't know what injuries or game plans these players have to enjure.

[maximum bob 462]

Put them on the Table asap and frig the contracts. Possible destinations.

Newton - any VFL club other than Casey

Bate - could Carlton get fooled again?

Davey - GWS will need a mentor for any brothers on the list

Green - a year ahead of Robbo & JMc...retire gracefully...or Carlton...maybe they won't get fooled again

Morton - Shepparton United et al

[stuie 7,374]

Haha, funny thread, like ANY AFL/VFL/SANFL/AusKick team would want any of the players we don't...

Good times

Well they are playing out of Rooty Hill, not going so well for them so far !!!

[Guest Artie Bucco]

Probably wouldn't be any interest in any of these, but on the table:

- Bate

- Dunn

- MacDonald

- Newton

- Warnock

Happily delist any left over after trade week.

You'll be lucky to get pick 83 for those 5 combined.

[Guest Artie Bucco]

Yeah, that was more like my "time-to-move-on" list.

Trade-wise, I think we'd need to consider offers for most players, but it would have to be a good deal.

Realistically, we'll need to trade a good player at some stage, to improve the list when we're in contention.

Much like Geelong sending us Moloney, to get Ottens.

Some are untouchables, but if I'm brutal about it, right now I'd consider trades for:

- Jetta

- Bennell

- Maric

- Rivers

- Moloney

- Fitzpatrick

- Morton (extremely hesitant)

Jetta, Bennell and Maric have no currency and are still in the infancy of their careers. They won't net you a good player, and the pick you'll get for them is unlikely to bring you a better player.

Rivers has a lot more value at Melbourne than externally. Won't go anywhere.

Moloney is just an idiotic suggestion. He is so important to our midfield, he is one of our only leaders and he will make the lives of Scully, Gysberts, McKenzie and Trengove much easier.

Fitzpatrick will get a lot of "who the hell is that" from opposition teams. Is currently worth less than Juice.

Morton is the only player on that list with real currency and who would net us a good return, but IMO won't get us anything near the value of his development potential. I'd be very very careful and wouldn't dream of trading him for anything less than a top 10 pick or a really good developing KPF.

[Guest Artie Bucco]

I was being brutal.

I think you underestimate how other clubs would view our young players.

They also have recruiters that would have followed some of our kids & rated them highly, just like we did with Jack Redden even though we didnt get to pick him, as an example.

Moloney has serious value and I think we could afford to trade him.

It would hurt, but it's about the trade off of short term pain for long term gain.

Morton will be a seriously damaging player and I think we still wouldnt get enough for him now.
