Add Pittonet to the trade out column and I'm in.
TDK going out of the side injured is one of the main reasons the team lost all momentum. His rise coincided with our rise to 2nd, his injury has coincided with our fall out of the 8. His bounce around the ground and around the midfield especially when the ball is on the ground somewhat made up for our midfields lack of leg speed. Don’t ask me how that’s possible but to my eye since he’s been out of the midfield we’ve had no drive and look like a tortoise.
I’d go as far as to say I’d rather trade Walsh than trade TDK. Guys like him don’t grow on trees.
Madness to suggest trading him. We have to do everything we can to lock him away long term.
Pitto must be traded for whatever we can get our hands on and we need to lock TDK away to a long term deal.

Maybe next year. Can't go into a year with TDK HOK and Mirkov as our our ruck options. Pitto is valuable even if he's a lazy french croissant

I’m saying that’s worst case scenario. At their best, they are much higher than that. Young got a multi year deal after being one of our best players during a patch where Weiters was injured. The Pitto signing looked incredible when he came in mid year and looked like Dean Cox early in the year. Cottrell was one of our most important players during our run at the end of last year, and Durds is a more long term project, due to his injuries this year. But clearly Voss likes him

Nah **** it, let’s trade Pitto while he still has currency.
Let’s just cross fingers HOK and Mirkov improve. Some luck had to go our way surely

I would be dropping Pitto for Mirkov this week. Another preseason into HOK/Mirk and they will go past Pitto.

And I don't care what anyone says Motlop and Owies can gagf. Slowest small forwards in the comp who fumble every 2nd possession. Make crap decisions with ball in hand and really all they do is kick goals and thats it. Pressure is garbage, provide 0 in the air, terrible kicks inside 50... I'd honestly rather Durdin than either of them if he was ever fit.

We need to trade one of Cerra/Hewett/Kennedy. Honestly I don't care who it is at this stage.
Doesn’t make sense to me

Maybe so but they are entirely untested atm. Pitto might be annoying the hell out of us but we atleast know he can hold down the fort when needed. Even if it's as ugly as all sin while he's doing so.

Yep. Whichever will provide the most value and open the door for someone else in that mix. I want to see Cowan and Kemp training on ball this off season.

I guess my perspective is that while they are untested, at least they haven't failed the test of being an AFL footballer miserably the way that Pittonet has. Maybe they'll be good? As long as we hold onto Pitto, we will never find out.

I actually think we’ve gotten ourselves in abit of a tough spot and are somewhat stuck. The types we need are hard to find.
For me I’d be wanting to have 8 or so changes. I can’t see Owies and Motlop working in the same side so make our choice and let one walk.
Hopefully we would get a pick inside the Campo bid so take 3 picks to the draft plus two Campo boys.
Just take best available tall defenders or players with really good speed. Outside of that their really is no point, on trade the picks for future picks on draft night if there aren’t those types available/worthwhile at the pick.
Chase a Tom McDonald type defender.
Then chase a couple of Richard’s/Garcia/Stone/Konstanty types because although it’s probably unlikely to come off it would transform the side if it did.
I honestly can’t see a big name who is the type we need coming available without huge risk. I also couldn’t imagine being able to trade our future first into this seasons draft but would do that in a heartbeat

WE don't even need a B+ ruckman. Take the 2 firsts and run, then find whichever ruck is on the discount rack this year and buy cheaply.
We desperately need some young talent after gutting our draft hand for the last 5 drafts trading to find thr 'missing piece'.
If there's a way we get to two first rounders in ahead on Ben Camporeale this year, and two first rounders next year, while only giving up a 25 year old ruck who has one good season so far under his belt... i think we have no choice but to take it.
The only other path i see to genuine improvement is to trade one of the two big forwards for ideally a pick or two, some depth and a younger replacement. Essendon have too many talls by far and might give up depth to add big Harry... Melbourne also desperate.
It would hurt to lose Harry but I genuinely can't see how else we improve our list enough to escape the 6th-10th quagmire we are in now...
It does hold the club in the position to trade the players vs OOC.
Problem is they’re showing little on the park to warrant any trade/s to benefit CFC.

We can very easily improve our list without trading Harry. The issue is our peripheral players don't compliment our big guns whatsoever. Replace the slow plodder types with players with more speed and skill and we're better off, even if they're similar in quality.
How do we add players with speed and skill? That's the exact combination everyone wants right now and Hawthorn's little run (and demolition of us) is going to make everyone double down on that.
So how do we add that when we have maybe one pick in the top 10, need all the rest for F/S picks (who aren't those traits)...
Slow-ish and clunky by foot (but smart and versatile) has been going cheap the last few years... that's how we got Hollands, Acres, even Hewett all nice and cheap.

We get those skills at the draft and via free agency and trade. I genuinely believe the club hadn't identified it as a weakness up until this season and thought Cunners, Martin, Williams etc would be enough this season if they could stay fit and healthy.
