Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[tl92]

Surprised at the lack of excitement over the possiblity of Sicily playing forward IF we land the Barrass/Battle double.

He's pushed forward a few times this year and scored multiple games on those occasions.

It wouldn't need to be a permanent move, but can anybody tell me why this couldn't work?...

B. Hardwick Barrass Scrimshaw
HB. Amon Battle Impey
C. Weddle Day D'Ambrosio
HF. Moore Dear Sicily
F. Watson Chol Ginnivan

Swap Hardwick and Sicily

This thread makes me wonder what I'm not seeing in Battle. Convinced many are only this wedded to the idea of getting him because it doesn't mean a trade.

He's a very good player, who can swing forward if required. And only 25 (I think) so has 6-8yrs to play.

Well, who doesn't like free Tramopolines?

Since the barrass news made me think he wasnt coming even tho id hope we got both. What is holding him up then

I understand he won’t make a definitive call until the end the season.

Dunno. The free Vietnam era flamethrower does it for me.

Very strong mail again tonight. Battle ain't moving.

Maybe why there is so much noise about Barrass now.

Not against us missing on both tbh.

Dusty, Baker, Bolton and Rioli.

All likely to be gone come seasons end.

Couple of tough years ahead at Tiger land.

Honestly, Richmond would want a ransom for him and he just isn't worth it currently.
Freo could use him as a finishing piece, but his inconsistency is costly, WCE would be criminally negligent to go after him at this stage

Jack Graham out the door too. He’s a spud but still an experienced player.

They need it though, the list is putrid

Most he's kicked is 3 goals in a game, 12 in a season. This is part of the reason why I'm confused. It doesn't feel like a serious use for him.

They are lucky they’ve timed their bottoming out just prior Tassie coming in. Possibly back to back #1 picks coming up.

Sicily forward as a pinch hitter = very good.
Sicily forward permanently = not sold.

When he has spent extended time up there it doesn't feel like he has the impact. Maybe it's because he has only recently spent time there when things aren't going well, but I would much rather him further up the ground maybe on the wing where we can get better use out of his weapons.

We're at the point in which other players can do what Sicily does quite well, at least well enough, that we can afford Sicily as a forward. Dam, it might just be essential for us to win a premiership next year.

I'd love it if we go there playing mostly as we are, then shifted him as a high/CH-forward as a wildcard in the finals.

Jack Graham….: Remember there was a time when people were declaring him a gun

Slow plodder with poor skills that has 3 flags.

Yes but I would rather Sicily in his best role than a player worse than Sicily in his role, and Sicily playing another role worse.

Swinging forward to bag 3 in a game every now & then is pretty handy. I don't think anyone sees him playing as a Forward, but I like the ability to drift forward during games

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Bolton would be worth a lot and Richmond need to start their rebuild before Tassie come into the league.

Freo are gearing up for a flag tilt. They have some great pieces already and are one of the youngest sides in the league, plus they have a great draft hand. They'll make this happen.

The tuggers trade thread is awesome. The 1st rounders they are "expecting" for their players is hilarious.

To keep those feral Crows fans at bay, eh?

He's done it once

You can never have too many flamethrowers.
