We are targeting Maynard and likely to get him.  Its been a long campaign similar to that to secure Langdon.

Assume his Dad ( Peter, an ex Demon ) still works for us at Casey as GM.

What size is this fish? Could it be the elusive big fish we've been trying to land for years? We probably need a riddle here.

Koi?

I'd much rather @Chook in Perth input. If he says so then I'll believe it.

Track record is ace.

Snap 'I'm up. He killed us the other week.

[Simon Port 194]

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)

 

[BAMF 4,346]

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.

Boom! Thanks GNF. Many’s the slip between the cup and the lip of course  but massive if it pans out.

Why does he want to leave Collingwood? Langdon wanted to come home totally different campaign in my eyes.

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.

Easy move to make in terms of where we play and train. Wants to play in a premiership. 

[Dr.D 1,771]

is any of this Maynard news true? 

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,712]

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.

I think we should give Narkle a good 3 year contract.  But what trade bait can we offer?  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!?!?! 

[whatwhat say what 22,732]

Narkle is an inside mid who doesn’t tackle 

Pass

I wouldn't be trading Hibbo he's proven Narkle isn't

Sorry werridee. It was a joke. The point was Hibbo is 31. That’s the age bracket the cats like.

Petrevski-Seton is an interesting one - probably gettable for a third rounder, horribly mismanaged by Carlton, ex pick 6 and only 23. 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.

[Deeko2 812]

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

[DurriePirate 97]

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?

Keep trading forward next year's first until we look like sinking back down the ladder in the 2030s rebuild
