Mega Thread 2014 Free Agency and Trade discussion

One for the experts here:

How does Petracca stack up against Shiel/Treloar?

 

[Big Jim 11]

More of a throw away line than anything else

Its not a throw away line when yesterday evening he was on the same show saying to the same people that we are 100% done with picks 2 and 3 and will definitely be taking them to draft

Its just very interesting he would change his tune like that

Talking to my mate again this morning, Melbourne and GWS are far from done talking. Frost is one but there are more discussions. GWS Want either 2 or 3 baaaaaaad apparently.

Don't be surprised if another Tyson deal is done.

?????

I'm not an expert but he's more explosive than Shiel, but not as classy. Definitely a better kick than Treloar. Bigger than both.

Did you hear it or just read the tweet?

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Can feel a GWS pick upgrade deal involving 2/3/6/7 brewing. Particularly if we're keen on Lever. Apparently GWS offered up Tomlinson to the Saints trying to get P1.

 

[DeeWong6996]

I'd be happy to go down a few spots for Greene. Not sure if GWS have any other mids they are willing to give up that we'd be falling over heels for tbh.

Something similar. He owns a Kebab shop

I can't say much more because he's been in trouble before. (he gave up the whole O'Rourke and Jaksch thing last year)

"It's not likely to happen," Mahoney said. "There are only a small number of players you would use them for.

This is what the AFL site quotes him as saying. Maybe GWS have mentioned one of that small number of players...

Very much doubt we'd be after Greene. He's the worst kick on their list and goes against Roosy's 'no DHs' policy.

Toby Greene and Frost for 3!

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

I am 100% certain we aren't going to do a deal with 2 or 3 that doesn't involve us getting 6 or 7 back.

 

[DeeWong6996]

Wait, wouldn't we get a good pick back aswell?

Not that I'm an expert but it's hard to judge because while I watched the years that Shiel and Treloar came from... they were with GWS so weren't playing U18's!

I'm not an expert but he's more explosive than Shiel, but not as classy. Definitely a better kick than Treloar. Bigger than both.

But pretty much this - plus he can roost the ball 60+, is a physical beast and a great mark for his size (like Fyfe, except he relies less on athleticism to take contested marks).

Thought on Tomlinson?

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Thought on Tomlinson?

I like him, but we don't reeaaaally need another tall.

 

[Cannon82]

Thought on Tomlinson?

Looks a good player to me - should make his mark this year with Boyd and Jaksch gone and Patton injured. I'd imagine it'll be him and Cameron lining up the key posts for GWS this year.

 

[Devastating Boris]

Toby Greene and Frost for 3!

Similar I'd say but I doubt its Greene to be honest.

Wouldnt call myself an expert - but on personal opinion I would go;

1) Treloar
2) Petracca
3) Shiel

All slightly different types, but I see Petracca as similar to Dangerfield in style, not as prolific winning the ball, but stronger overhead.

I should admit though - I have a pretty big hard on for Treloar.

Was going to say the same thing - I struggle to compare him to Trelosr because I didn't see him as a junior, and it's unfair to judge CP against him now.

A Proposal has just been knocked back by MFC. No idea what it is though.

Petracca is just a man beast. He honestly looks better built than Boyd. Battering ram would be the only apt description.

 

[DeesFan]

I just thank god that I have given notice for my current job and dont have to do anything but follow the trade talk.

thou my email is melting down

 

[Demon 16]

Toby Greene and Frost for 3!

I'd want a pick upgrade in there as well. Say, 23 for mid-teens.

Guck I hope they're playing hard ball.
