Mega Thread 2013: Trade Hypotheticals

[Theo X]

Lucky he said no. You could nearly land Dale Thomas for that

Agreed, he was a Melbourne supporter too. Don't really want Thomas on big money tbh, sounds like his ankle's rooted.

Steele Sidebottom for whatever we can ****in get for him, tbh at this stage i'd probably take a used condom.

He's not worth that!

You're right a used condom is probably overs for him,

Depends on who blew in the condom

I haven't watched a lot of Pies games this year, where's he at?

Would of happily given a first round pick for him 18 months ago.

Still worth a first round pick

Yes agree somewhere between 14-18

I honestly don't see gws trading off pick 1. But are there any best 22 defenders not necessarily KPD that could be snagged with picks 10 and 20? Obviously my want for mackie has been stated but what other players from other teams are available. Preferably between the ages of 22-28

We have loads of "best 22 defenders" (Fisher, Dempster, Gilbert, Gwilt, Roberton, Stanley, Simpkin, Geary, Wright, hopefully a Brown/Frawley type next year, plus the back flank is a good place to introduce some of the younger ones), but the two that might fit the bill well are Gilbert (who I believe you were interested in last year) and Gwilt.

They both have loads of experience, including finals and multiple grand finals and have both played very good footy in finals and of course SOS was the one coaching them (our backline) then, while they were both basically at their best (especially Gilbert, who came 3rd in our B&F in 2010- before all that off field stuff later that year put him right off track), so I think he would rate them pretty highly and know what they are capable of. Both of them were well and truly in our best 22 in those GF years and both were under 25yo at the time (they were two of the youngest in the team).

They're both only 26 still and if we do land a Mitch Brown, or someone like that for next year, we would probably be looking to offload one of the 8 or so other "best 22 defenders" that we already have, to make room for him, because there simply aren't enough spots for all of them and they are basically all better than VFL standard. Gilbert of course also brings versatility in that he can also be swung forward and has also played a lot on the wing in the past couple of seasons, thanks to his pace, plus even some time in the guts, with his big body and ferocious rugby-style tackling being an asset in there. And both of them can play on both "talls" and "smalls" in defence and have done so throughout their careers.

One of them may even be an option in a potential trade for Taylor Adams, who I think we'll have a good crack at, as we really need to add to our midfield and clearance/contested ball winning.

 

[Tulip]

Personally feel that pick 1 is for NN level players (obviously need more then 1 for NN) and not for stopgaps. Pick 10/20 are for the frawley and Mitch brown(wce) level players respectively.

Good luck getting Frawley for pick 10...

Kreuzer Or Yarran Plus 1st rnd pick for Pick 1[Boyd]
GWS will ask for Kreuzer>>>>Carlton would offer up Yarran>>>>GWS Refuse[Rightfully so].

The question is,Would the Blues have the Balls to Trade someone like Kreuzer for Boyd?

 

[Igloo]

This is my favourite part.

The Bulldogs met with the Giants recently and signalled strong interest in purchasing the rights to Boyd via the No.1 pick.
A Dogs-Giants deal wouldn't be difficult, because it would involve no more than the Dogs swapping from pick No.3 or 4 to pick No.1 (again, we assume the Demons aren't 18th).
The Dogs wouldn't need to part with as much, because pick three is worth far more than Carlton's eventual pick. Therefore, it behoves the Blues to be daring. Kreuzer and Yarran have the currency to trump the Dogs, the Lions and probably most clubs, particularly if the Giants keep Carlton's first pick.

If I were the Blues, I'd trade Kreuzer, for sure.

 

[BlueMaster1]

Yep take the put

 

[Sydswans0512]

If the blues were open to trading Kruezer clubs will be lining up

 

[the_slurpee_man]

Think this deal would be great for both clubs.. but i doubt it.. these things just dont really occur that often.. people are always very scared..

 

[HBF]

Kreuzer is rated so highly within the club, and has the respect of every player. I can see where Jake Niall is coming from, but I doubt the club would be willing to part with Kreuzer.

Kreuzer is better around the ground and up forward than both Hampson and Warnock. Warnock would shade Kreuzer at the centre square bounces. IMO, think we'd be giving up too much for the No.1 selection.

 

[Addison Bale]

I love having a team that I support full of local talent... I don't know what it is but I just like hearing about a player coming home to WA so I have put together a wish list for my team West Coast, of all the players I want to bring home.

My Personal "Wish List" for West Coast is as follows;

• Jaeger O'Meara from the Suns (would trade anything for him... except Kennedy, Naitanui, Darling, LeCras or Masten or Selwood)
• Harley Bennell from the Suns (Similar to above)
• David Swallow from the Suns (Wouldn't trade anything for him but wouldn't mind enticing him and trying to have his as Kerr replacement)
• Brandon Matera from the Suns (Don't really rate him as highly as he was when taken by gold coast in pre selection, but I would love all Matera's to be playing with the eagles and maybe he would be better suited at WCE)

• Stephen Coniglio from GWS (Loved the way Stephen goes about the game I think he is just not playing as well at Skoda as he was here at Subi... Would give almost anything for him)

• Andrew Swallow from the Roos (need I say any more, class act and would love to have the two brothers)

• Daniel Rich from the Lions (Need I say more on him too, fantastic kick and great grunt work... couldn't think of a better deliverer to Kennedy, LeCras, Darling, Cox, Naitanui and Hill.

• Alex Rance from Richmond (Not the best defender but with both McKenzie, Hurn, Waters and Schofield around him he should be a good pick up)

• Harry Taylor from Geelong (Would be the perfect fit and just wish that he accepted the Eagles offer mid season)

• Cale Hooker from Essendon (Not one of my favourites but much that same as Alex Rance)

• Kane Lucas from Carlton (Hasn't probably reached his full potential and I think would benefit from a move home... good speed and space maker, just needs a better disposal efficiency)
• Jeff Garlett/ Chris Yarran (Great players which would add great speed which is greatly needed)

• Lewis Jetta from Sydney (I still wish we picked Fyfe over Sheppard but if he wasn't available I would f loved to have grabbed Jetta)

Some Players that recently were drafted that I wish we had also;

• Bradley Hill
• Kamdyn McIntosh
• Marco Paparone
• Jordan Murdoch
• Josh Simpson
• Tom Mitchell

I'm sure I left some out but what do you guys think? any players you wish you could bring home to your states this trade period?

My Personal "Wish List" for West Coast is as follows;

• Jaeger O'Meara from the Suns (would trade anything for him... except Kennedy, Naitanui, Darling, LeCras or Masten or Selwood)

• Than how exactly are you going to get him?

 

[Lemma]

You wouldn't trade Masten or LeCras for Jaeger? Jaeger is worth more than both put together

 

[Sydswans0512]

If Jaeger wanted to move back to WA think of the Judd deal that's about what you need to offer

So if GWS said they'd give you the #1 pick for Kreuzer alone, would you say no?

 

[Seb78]

Kreuzer and 1st rounder would do it (although Carlton paying overs). The Yarran option wont not sure he has the same appeal as a Kreuzer

While your at it swans will give their first rounder for Yarran Mick doesn't seem to like him.

--
Your 1st rounder will probably be between 14 - 18, would you play that for Yarran? 18-22 would probably seem fair price to pay for him imo
