Jack Redden

[Moonshadow 17,673]

That might be a hard sell to Howe.

I am not sure he want to go to a club that is worse than the Dees.

If the options were the Lions or the Dees I know which one I would take.

3 way deal? Redden to dees, Howe to GWS, GWS pick and/or player to Brisbane

[SaberFang 7,151]

What you're watching is a sneak preview of the GWS Giants circa 2025, after they've won their successive premierships.

[CityDee 738]

Maybe but as Roosy will say, how tall is he?

[CityDee 738]

Sheesh 190 cm . its on.

[Moonshadow 17,673]

A final round win over GWS would add a bit of shine to the club in terms of trade appeal. Redden would definitely improve our list. Do your thing TViney/Taylor.

[jumbo returns 6,737]

I don't rate him.

[Pipefitter 2,149]

Can't wait for the "Redden has nominated Hawthorn/Geelong as his club of preference".

[ChaserJ 4,992]

Lions might be one team that might look at Dawes to fill a gaping hole.

Even if they get Schache, he won't be ready straight away.

Redden's a yes with caveats from me. Not worth a high first rounder.

Very good two way player. Not an out and out star, but doesn't put in many bad games either.

Would be a good one to take the load off Jonesy and probably along the lines of what the recruiting team would have hoped Riley might be.

[rpfc 28,247]

someone sell him to me please?

Strong midfielder in his prime who tackles, has neat skills and gives a sh!t.

[jumbo returns 6,737]

Never, ever seen him dominate.

Save coin for a GWS youngster.

[dee-luded 2,959]

Another Jack? There's too many to keep up with at the club now!

But yes. Get him.

that's alright DJ, we just use the family names.... except for Tom & Oscar

One of the gaping holes on our list is winning contested ball...

For mine, the gaping hole in our list is players who can hit targets.

Disposal, disposal, disposal.

[Cards13 9,117]

Brisbane must have the smell of Death...The arrogant way they dragged Fitzroy's casket up North i shall never forget (I remember some Faceless Corporate President Laughing about the deal he had secured during the Press Conference)

What was in the Juice they were all shot with back when Thug Matthews was head hunted??

Pity WADA was yet to be born...i doubt the 3peat would have eventuated.

No Sympathy as the players walk except it will cost us $$$ and players for many years...

The Dees smell like embalming fluid in comparison...

Jack Redden in the Lions B & F (Mullet-Murray Medal) from 2014 to 2011:

2014 - 12th

2013 - 3rd

2012 - Eq 4th

2011 - 3rd

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He's always been lumped in the Rockliff, Rich and Redden group, but I need to be honest I wouldn't know him if I fell over him.

[spirit of norm smith 16,243]

Yes he is a good player without doubt. He will look for success and MFC does NOT offer this. He will return to SA or choose Hawks/Tigers.

[jumbo returns 6,737]

He's not worth it....a GWS player from their twos, or look to Box Hill Hawks.

[whatwhat say what 22,640]

Strong talk port are looking at both he and Dixon from the qld clubs. Redden is good mates with Polec, while Hinkley was Dixon's mentor.

Sgt Schulz and Lobbe on the outs.

You've tried to make this point 3 times jumbo. Any reason why you don't rate him, or is it just a personal opinion?

sorry, we aren't interested in any of those things at our club. Does he come from a nice well off family, and what school did he go to?

Just bored, Wise, bored.

I'm sick of drafting [censored] players.

I don't know if I would class Redden as a 'crap' player, but I get your drift.

I use this line with most players on the market - I'd be happy with him at the right price. I don't want the FD to panic and overpay for someone like him as we simply can't afford to do it. If he came to the club at a fair price then he would be a handy addition and an instant best 22 player for the club.

[Goodvibes 3,596]

I'm interested in us getting better. Redden would make us better. He can turn it over but usually pretty reliable by foot. He's a very solid player. I was hoping one of Newton, Riley or Michie would make it. I don't believe they will. Redden is a massive upgrade on them. I think a change of scenery would freshen him up too. He's a B/B+ midfielder. Similar to Jones leading into his three B & F years. I want pace, contested ball winning ability and elite kicking as key criteria for future mids but that's a very tough thing to find. It's even harder to find if you're us. We need to be realistic about where we're at. Redden is the type of trade that would make us better. We've got to draft A graders and trade for B graders until we become a potential top 4 team and then we might be able to pinch an established star looking for a premiership. Jones, Vince, Tyson, Viney, Brayshaw, vandenBerg and Redden is a good start with genuine hope in Petracca, Stretch and Neal-Bullen. That's 10 midfielders plus Kent, Salem and Watts. Add an emerging A grade ruck in Gawn and we're getting there. It's still the midfield isn't it?

[P-man 13,366]

In terms of repairing the list, he's exactly the type of player we need, talent and age wise. Opportunities like this won't drop from the sky as we saw during the last trade period when it was assumed we'd find that other A grader to add to the midfield rotation. What the right price would be is a separate question but it's a no brainer to be making some enquiries.

[Gator 17,261]

Some people rate Jack Watts but not Redden. It would be funny if it wasn't true.

Redden makes us better, but he has stagnated. He's on a par with Nathan Jones, but is he too similar with our other mids ?

I wouldn't knock back anyone who makes us better. But he's not a 'must have'.

But why would he want to leave a bottom club to join another bottom club. I wouldn't.
