Geelong can’t use our dealings but I am sure they will try. Having said that we still have the upper hand as we don’t have to show our Carlisle hand* until well after the Henderson trade will be done. Geelong has had a long run up with Henderson and I am sure there have been discussions between...
If we get him for free it would add a bit of heat to the rivallary for the next few years. However, I agree, I'll believe it when I see it. I would hate for any of our own half decent players to burn us like that.
Two different trades but I am sure the Geelong list management team would be aware we could land Carlisle for massive unders and using that as leverage to not give us a first rounder.
Surely SOS won't trade Hendo for Geelong's second rounder and J. Walker, it would be an average outcome for us. Would prefer Hendo and our second rounder for Geelongs first rounder. However, I suppose we cannot have our cake and eat it to if we get Carlisle in the PSD!
My too cents worth regards off season movements at current stage.
I think Bell will get back to QLD; dream trade will be swap for Aish and various picks, Aish would fit our ideal age profile, however, not sure if he wants to come to the club, we can afford to pay overs for him, however, doing...
Carlton should get a late first rounder for Yarran. Clubs like Richmond, Fremantle and WCE will be willing to part ways to secure him. Stranger things have happened though.
I would take Kolodjashnij over a second recond pick in a weak draft, he is still 19 years old, hence perfect age profile for us and will be great alongside Weitering, Buckley, Tuohy, Byrne, Fields and one of Rowe/Jamison down back.
Would do Henderson and Menzel for Kolodjashnij and your first round pick (Pick 11).
Would push for exchange of picks as well, our Pick 38 for Geelongs Pick 29.
Thoughts...?
Jury is still out for me regarding Henderson. Although he is a better CHB, with him at CHF it allows Casboult and Everitt off the leash, not to mention Kreuzer rotating forward. With him gone we are going to have to play Jones or Watson in that position, both aren't up to AFL standard.
On the...
Would GWS want two players?
I would think they would want a top end talent in return or a top pick, they wouldn't want two "B Grade" players, they have enough depth.
Less than 3 hours to kick off! Can't wait to walk down to the 'G!!
White to Martin
Jamsion to Riewoldt
Rowe to Vickery
Kreuzer to smash Hampson
Midfiled to go head-to-head...
Will be a good contest, hopefully we pip them at the line!
GO BLUES
If Yarran is to leave, it will be a first round pick.
He has currency, right age bracket for all teams, and adds polish.
HARKER mentioned North, W.C. and Adelaide- that would get us pick in the 10-13 range, maybe a swap of later picks and a deal could get done.
Very rough on Simmo... Yes, we are in rebuilding phase, however, we need some older heads on field and around the club for next 2-3 years. Simmo is only 31.
We definitely have something to work with, but as BM123 suggested we need a young A grade KPP and a silky midfielder. Hopefully, in this years draft. Weitering and Schade may not be possibilities now with our improved performances, however, Francis is looking a likely type that will be able to...
Sorry if I came off in the wrong matter, I think Carrazzo adds balance to the team, he has always been slow, however, he is quick with his hands and releases the outside run. I think he has got his timing back, he adds value to the team with leadership and his output has been very good of past...
I think Jamo will be touch and go... I'd keep Carrazzo in, solid game and is getting better each week! We still need old heads out there, we can't get ahead of ourselves. I would bring Boekhorst in for Walker, however, I'd prefer Boekhorst playing full games at the moment. If he comes in as sub...
Very good points.
If we lose Yarran or Henderson (or both) and not finish bottom two which is looking likely (thank goodness) meaning no Weitering or Schade, I can see us having a look at Plowman or Tomlinson.
I'm liking Henderson, Casboult, Everitt and Kreuzer rotating through the forward at...
