Mega Thread 2016 Trade/Free Agency Discussion

Ahern only hasn't played because he did his ACL. Was pick 7 in his draft. Steele, whilst not quite the same quality of player would still be in most teams 22 this year, including ours

This is another reason he shouldn't be used as a trade for a first rounder. Ridiculous. Steele, who I like, is over rated on BF. If you can't get touches in that midfield you're doing something wrong.

I'd rather Vickery to Griffiths.
Griffiths is a little girl in a mans body.
Soft as butter.....
(I'm not saying little girls body's are like soft butter btw....)

I'm leaving that joke alone and far away from me

Aherns NEAFL 2015 form prior to doing his knee:
2015 Season

2 NEAFL Burst in and out of the game with 15 touches. -
3 NEAFL Burst in and out but wasn’t a major factor. -
4 NEAFL Best game so far with 30 touches and a goal. -
5 NEAFL Zipped in and out of the game. Working on consistency. -
6 NEAFL Classy effort on the outside. 18 touches, one goal. -
7 NEAFL Rested. -
8 NEAFL Best afield in tight win. 29 disposals, two goals. -
9 NEAFL Bye. -
10 NEAFL 34 disposals and a goal in 192-point rout of Lions. -
11 NEAFL Continued good form with 23 touches and a goal. -
12 NEAFL Continues to press hard for senior debut. 31 disposals, goal. -
13 NEAFL Bye. -
14 Senior emergency.
15 NEAFL Not as prominent with 18 touches, zero marks. -
16 NEAFL Dynamic with ball in hand and got plenty of it. -
17 NEAFL Seven inside 50s to be among Giants’ best in big win. -
18 NEAFL In and out a bit this week. OK without being great. -
19 NEAFL Fantastic in open space making things happen. 28 disposals. -
20 NEAFL Bye. -
21 NEAFL Burst in and out to be a handy contributor. -
22 NEAFL Drifted in and out for 15 possessions. -
23 NEAFL Bye.

Sounds like a goal kicking mid/forward, like that combination.

You wouldn't steer clear of him because he's done his ACL. Thats a positive for trading in a way, because it means you get him below value.

Like the,idea of Steele and Ahern . Gotta say Prestia didn't do much to suggest he s worth selling the farm for , perhaps a direct swap for Lennon could get it done , Elton maybe , they need key defenders

Selling the farm isnt what some have said tho. That is over the top of just a first rounder.

 

[theflea]

witts and broomhead for your 1st round draft pick

No.

 

[Bojangles17]

Where did you hear about Ahern? Thats a new one to me

Whispers here and there

watched the 4q last night , he did some good things in that , so did conca as well fwiw

Hibberd looks set for Melbourne but I'd like us to have a crack, assuming Hurley is staying. Or even if he isn't. He was tracking really well before the WADA appeal happened. All things going working out, having Hibberd, Yaz, Houli and Grimes around Rance and Astbury or whoever else is pretty good.

Classic Stevo, obviously caught up on big footy from our posting two weeks ago.

Ch7 news. Stevo was talking about Hurley training with the rest of the banned Bomber players and then mentioned at the end of the report that GC are in discussions with Prestia and that we are very keen.

 

[Sassafras]

Immediate thought was Lachie Neale, but he's a midget, not big bodied. His girlfriend is a legitimate 11/10.
.

Dan Richardson isn't interested, he likes to settle for about a 7.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Apparently us and Stkilda are into brad crouch. It said Victorian clubs but only specified Richmond and saints. Would be suprised if we weren't into him.

Prestia for our first this year
Crouch for our first next year
Steele for a 2nd rounder we have to trade for

Never happen but would be amazing

Use Lennon, Mcbean and tv for currency

 

[Scullz85]

I think we need to target a quality defender or quality forward as well as a mid. We need to trade to get into the draft.

It's the awesome name. If he were Jack Smith no one would care

 

[Wrenny]

Would anyone here trade Ben Lennon for Jack Steele straight swap?

I still think Lennon has huge potential. Do not want to trade. If it were to happen though, it could potentially be seen as fair.

Rory Thompson from the suns. After rocket gave him the rounds of the table Sunday night. Maybe he will be looking for a new home
