dazzledavey36 56,334 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I'd much rather @Chook in Perth input. If he says so then I'll believe it. Track record is ace. 4 Quote

Simon Port 205 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Just a few ideas for the types of players we need. Take with a grain of salt. Half Backs to replace Hibberd and Jetta: Ed Richards due to the plethora of half backs the dogs have; Johannisen as a short term fill Dan Houston and try get him back to VIC, Coffield as maybe a change of scenery would help him Eggmolesse-smith as a very cheap option for depth who has upside and skill Outside mids to support Langdon: Liam Duggan, Brayden Ham, Justin mcinerney, Oli Florent (long shot), petrevski-seton as a hybrid mid on the cheap to rejuvenate his career Ball use/forward of centre players: Jack Billings as a free agent, Rhylee west who we bid on when he was initially drafted who can't get a regular game, Ben Ainsworth, Kane Farrell, Petrucelle, Lachie Schultz, Luke Breust (2 year contract for the experience to help with kozzy, spargs and nibbla) Quote
BAMF 4,483 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I seriously rate Maynard. Collingwood would as well. He wont be cheap. Weid and Brisbane's second rounder would be a steal in my opinion. Quote

Well... they have terribly handled their salary cap and jettisoned good players in their prime and apparently may need to do so again. They have an old playing list with most of their better players 27 years old with a heap of others over 30. Their coach just quit. The board are infighting with a large spill on the cards. He is 24 and probably doesn't want to play his prime in a rebuilding side. 4 Quote

DistrACTION Jackson 10,728 Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 I think we should give Quinton Narkle a crack. Hopefully take advantage of Geelong's desire to top up with 30+ year olds and nab a guy who otherwise would be in their best 22. Has shown good signs at times and maybe a change of scenery would help. 1 Quote

Perhaps let’s look to trade out a player like Hibberd for Narkle. Nothing against Hibbo. He’s 31 so right in the Cats perrrrrrfect age bracket!?!?! 2 1 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,855 Posted June 24, 2021 Posted June 24, 2021 Narkle is an inside mid who doesn’t tackle Pass Quote

Option on the wing and half forward - he's not really a defender or inside midfielder Quote

Option on the wing and half forward - he's not really a defender or inside midfielder I really rated this kid early in his career but he's gone backwards tremendously. He's horribly inconsistent. The only role I could see him playing for us would be a high half forward or wing which involves a lot of selfless running which I'm not sure he's the guy for. Maybe a change of scenery & some better players/mentors would help. You're right with the trade value. I wouldn't offer anything higher than a late third. Quote
Deeko2 865 Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Just re-visiting last years trade with the Lions which so far has been a win - in points value at least. We gave up: 2021 first pick (currently 18 @ 985 points) Pick 25 @ 756 points Pick 68 @ 59 points Pick 69 @ 49 points Total = 1849 We received: Pick 18 @ 985 points Pick 19 @ 948 points 2021 Lions second pick (currently 33 @ 563 points Total = 2,496. The difference of 650+/- rates to around pick 29. If NGA & Father Sons pop up our 2021 first pick that the Lions own may drop a few spots which makes the trade even more favourable. Obviously if we drop a few games the difference will drop and the trade doesnt look as good. So as positive as this has been, it leaves us with bugger all trade currency with our first two picks currently sitting at 33 and 39. If we're keen to play in trade week, I definitely wouldn't be surprised to see someone like a Weid offered up 1 Quote
DurriePirate 97 Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 So if the Maynard trade is on the table who/what do we give up? Vanders straight swap? maybe throw in Chandler/Bedford for an additional/improved draft pick? 2 Quote
