Jack Trengove re-injures his navicular (2014) - trade deal off

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Jack Trengove could be traded to Richmond from Melbourne

Not quite sure how to feel about this ...

For those that can't read it, the trade would be Trengove and pick 23 for Tigers pick 12.

I really don't know about this...

[Wiseblood 24,636]

I really don't know about this...

That is the exact reaction I had. Something doesn't feel right about it, but I can't put my finger on it yet.

This better be bull shite.

That would be terrible! Why the f*** would we trade Trengove for pick 12

[Lucifers Hero 37,323]

Noooo Way!

Roos has said he doesn't want more than a few kids in the draft so why would he want another pick!! Give up an experienced player for another 'kid'. You would think we have enough trade power with 2 and 3 to get an experienced player.

Can't see any logic to it all!

Know doubt we have something in mind to use pick 12 with something else to get another trade done. If it was used as part of another pick to get someone like Shiel / Treloar, would you take it?

The ONLY thing that comes to mind is that we have something else cooking and we want another first round pick to get the ball rolling on that other deal. To me the deal as a whole doesn't serve any other purpose.

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 380]

Please no

[JP_ 60]

What? On the face of it this seems ludicrous. For pick 12 maybe, but this is a number 2 draft pick that we've put 5 years of development into and who undoubtedly has his best footy ahead of him.

I can only think that there's something else in play here. Either his foot injury is much worse than we think, or there's another player we're targeting that we need pick 12 for. According to the article it's not like he's requested the trade either.

[What 18,810]

WTF

There must be a player we REALLY want and need pick 12 to make the trade happen? Otherwise makes no sense

I'd say there is something brewing that requires two first rounders but we want to hold on to one as well.

[Bombay Airconditioning 5,968]

Has he delivered??

[Biffen 12,426]

Never would we do it.

Not Puzzles surely.

[godees 661]

Worst trade ever. If we do this I'd be furious. A terrible terrible trade. I'm speechless

[Bonkers 918]

Surely there is more to the deal than what is being proposed.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

[censored] no!

[stevethemanjordan 6,952]

Unless this is part of some elaborate and secretive three-way trade intended to snare Dangerfield, I call BS.

I hope BS.

Trengove NEEDS a pre-season. He NEEDS to be injury free. And he NEEDS to play under Roos for us to see him shine.

[What 18,810]

why would we throw in pick 23?

If they want him then its pick 12 for Trenners

Simple

[Deefiant 427]

Really don't like the look of this. Jack Trengrove showed us loyalty when he initially signed on for three years. Unless he wants to leave I think it would be good if we showed our players loyalty back

[ucanchoose 1,804]

I love this trade

[Lucifers Hero 37,323]

Jack needs a fair run at proving what he can do - without captaincy, without injury!! Please keep him Roosy!

[dee-luded 2,958]

I would give P-2 & P-12 for Shiel & say Devon Smith, but I don't see the getting rid of Trenners as the way forward. I don't like this bit.

[Deetective Sgt. Taggert 380]

Is this part of a scheme to purge ourselves of the Prendergast curse?

[whatwhat say what 19,651]

looks like a terrible deal on the face of things.

a pick 2 from 5 years ago AND a second round pick for pick 12?
