What do you remember of the Tippett trade?

Why do not just extend the contracts for all required players and front load them with this years spare salary cap. Draft guys like Kemp and avoid trying to get Daniher etc. Accept next season is about getting game into players again and at next years FA we can target Grundy/Daniher with little or no draft cost and plenty of cap space available for long term contracts.

One way or another Grundy will be locked away by then.

That deal reported would be... unfathomable.
Much easier to fathom is the idea that Barrett just simply doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s the type of bloke who reports based on heresay, then calls it a ‘bombshell’ when the opposite outcome happens.

Most posters see this thread for what it is - kicking sh*t around and discussing a bunch of wild and maybe not so wild hypotheticals. Sometimes some posters get a tad too emotionally invested in some of those hypotheticals though

cutting through the hysteria that seems to have gripped this thread, I'd be pretty happy with an off-season of:
IN:
Daniher (2020 first + sweetener?)
Bennell (free)
Cutler (pick 42 + sweetener?)
Draft Kemp @ pick 5
RETAINED:
Papley
Jones

We paid nothing but salary cap space but you can project that he forced a few players out down the line?

Why not add in a date with Kate Upton while you’re at it.

Draft picks are grossly overrated
Going over old news but Buddy came along the following year and forced a huge exodus of players unless you are squarely blaming Tippett for that and ignoring Buddy’s salary.

Dalrymple is talking to Green...no way pick 5 is involved in this. ... is there....If so.. the board should step in and relieve some of our list managers from their post

Papley must be staying... What would Melbourne offer for Papley

If Kemp can ever run again maybe....which we have no way of knowing given his surgery was so recent and he won't be able to play at all next year in any reasonably conservative injury management scenario. (Which you'd want your head read if going anything but conservative on a young kid with a severe injury and high draft pick).Holy s**tballs
I just watched Brodie Kemp highlights.
See for yourself
Draft Prospect Brodie Kemp
Shades of 'the Bont' as Brodie Kemp continues to rise
Brodie Kemp has transitioned from key position player to midfielder and the tall midfielder is rising quickly in the race to be crowned the likely No. 1 pick, writes Chris Doerre.www.espn.com.au
A dead set gun. Tall, fast, skillful, athletic, smart.
Are we going to let this bloke go and go and get Daniher?
FFS.
I feel ill thinking about it.
Imagine Kemp, Dawson and Blakey running around together in a few years. Wed be unstoppable.
Pass - even more so if there are guys just as good available with no injury.
Because Buddy will be a year older.
The appeal of Daniher lies largely with the idea of pairing him with Buddy in the forward line. Yes, at 25 we can see him as a successor of sorts, but if we're pursuing him hard this year, it's because the club hasn't given up on another run at a flag before Bud retires.
That's not to say we'll win it next year, but if they spend 2020 working out how to play with each other, Blakey/Dawson/Rowbottom continue to develop, and we somehow find the right combo of players/structure through the middle, who's to say we can't be right up the pointy end in 2021/22?
Leaving Daniher to next year opens us up to the possibility he changes his mind or gets recruited elsewhere, and Buddy plays out his last few years rebuilding with some nice draft picks who might come good long after he's gone.
I'm torn as to whether it's the best strategy, but I reckon that's the motivation here.

Nobody trusts Barrett - people are reacting to the proposed deal he put forth. There is a difference. I'd rather the club knew the fan base's feelings than not.

The club would do their due diligence in looking at draftees and then still decide they’d rather use the pick on Daniher.
I hope with everything that we don’t take this route.
They are. Not as overrated as an OP-stricken Joe Daniher though.

The draft is over-rated and the AFL should do away with it. Sorry kids!

Eh? How would we get him with the number 5 pick if we gave that pick to GWS (If that is what you are suggesting)?
I'd pay a premium for sure, but that one sounds a little metaphysical.
He'd totally be worth a selection at that point in the draft though from all accounts...

Would be pretty shocked if GWS don't match for Green. Maybe we're trying to setup a trade with them?
