2014 Trade/FA Discussions

[Fatcat08]

If we didn't get Butcher last year in the Polec trade its fair to say we either a) didn't want him or b) port didn't want to trade him

ridiculous piece of writing.

 

[SizeMatters]

Butcher for a 4th rounder seems fair to me considering they stole Polec from us.

 

[Fatcat08]

and why do the pies need a ruckman? I thought Grundy was the best thing to come along since the wheel? Before him Witts? Who's coaching the rucks these days down at collingwood?

Pretty sure that Ben (The Beard) Hudson is the ruck coach at Collingwood

Hudson came out of retirement (again) onto the rookie list but was ruck coach as well.

Fasolo can't get a game and isnt the type of player we need. Could see Martin wanting to go, given his age, might want to go to a club in a premiership window, thought theirs seems to be closing.

Sam Shaw from the Crows, Butcher from the Power and Jones from Dogs. Look into this Lions.

I don't feel Jones would add anything to our list we don't already have. He hasn't set the world on fire at the Dogs and I feel he is not the answer to our forward issue, but in saying that if we can get him for cheap ( which I doubt we could ) I wouldn't say no.

 

[Rivanwarder]

Do no want Fasolo. No defensive side and has a terrible taste of venues when it comes to Melbourne night life.

 

[cotter101]

No, neither would I but if the price was right...

I haven't seen a lot of the Pies this year. How's Fasalo travelling? (with the understanding that this is very hypothetical)

We'd need considerable overs for Martin if we were to trade him. Whereas on current form, Fasolo wouldn't even come close.

For the cheap yes. Jones is a proven contested marking specialist something that we lack at present.

Ace was a pretty good contested mark...

 

[Dom PC]

Ahmed Saad anyone? If successful, it would mean one of Green, Zorko and Taylor could move into the midfield rotations full time. While I am not fully into the idea. Would be worth a look at least I think.

 

[a mayes ing]

Personally I would jump at this. Been a fan of Butcher for a while. We've got a good track record of straigtening out bad kicks.

What about Banfield?

 

[Davemonkey]

What about Banfield?

We never knew if he could kick straight. He kept dropping the ball.

 

[rusty08]

i know it's been thrown up before but Martin from the pies would be a handy get imo. Much rather him than fasalo.

Begs the question...whatever happened to our poster "Lions Insider"?

It's not just his kicking.
He's just not a very good player at all.

No, neither would I but if the price was right...

Did reasonably well playing off half back for a while I think. Got injured and returned to the forward line as half the players on Collingwood's list seem to be unaccountable flankers. Got dropped.
Has talent but I don't think he's the kind of player we need.
Re-signed this year anyway.

Do no want Fasolo. No defensive side and has a terrible taste of venues when it comes to Melbourne night life.

Also refers to himself as 'The Prince of Perth'.
Definite red flag.

Why Sam Shaw?

 

[John]

'News' publications need to sell content. Making stuff up is a fine way to do this.

Stop it!

 

[Panthera]

Agree. I think Jones, Casboult and Darling would all be attainable and we should risk paying slight overs to get them here

Darling, yes

So we are targeting a key defender from a club short on key defenders and two key forwards from clubs desperate for a key forward. Cool

 

[cotter101]

VFL form been impressive. Most of the Collingwood boys think he deserves to be in the side. Been in the bests 12 out of 17 matches, kicked 13 goals and averaging 27.5 disposals, 5 marks and 4 tackles a game.

I'd seriously consider Saad.

 

[Ironmonger]

Pretty sure Darling re-signed at the Eagles at the start of this year.

 

[PTizzle]

I'd be very keen on Kyle Martin or Josh Thomas from the Pies. Both would probably be within the realm of possibility too.

Would hate if Stef went there though, he'd absolutely kill it for them...

 

[SizeMatters]

How about Leuey goes there instead?

I imagine Kyle Martin would be best 22 or thereabouts for 3-5 Victorian clubs. While he does seem like a good player and he was eye-catching at the Gabba last year, I'd be surprised if he preferred us over Melbourne, Carlton, St. Kilda etc.
Thomas might be a better chance since he's a Queenslander.
