I get not wanting to bring in a 32 y/o defender in. But Haynes is a quality player to fill in injuries + development in the VFL for the young squad we have there.
He was horrendous last week whilst filling in and will get dropped next week. 33 next year and I'd imagine he'd be looking for a 2 year contract. He doesn't play as a key defender, more as a McGovern type 3rd tall. So he could be the break glass in case of emergency type to replace Marchy but not S. Durdin.

If he could recapture any of his old form he'd be a great acquisition but that's a big if. One year absolute maximum for me.

Is there any more substance to the Aleer rumour other than that Collingwood flog McGuane suggesting it? Has everyone bought into Fat Mick's reasoning, seeing how he just loves our club soooooo much????
Let me know please?
Come on I let you know two months ago Haynes was on the radar, silence in regards to Aleer, wouldn't mind him though;)

Pretty sure it would be one year
 
Because it frees up 400k in salary cap space, and gets us a second rounder?

If that helps us get Petracca accross the line (Owies for Trac) Im doing it.
Yeah - a second rounder wont help us get Petracca.

I'm not sure I want the Petracca show at Calrton - seems to be unravelling.

I'll keep Owies - rather than pick 38.

Agree, wouldnt be trading Owies for picks (unless tied to a trade for KPD or talented small forward). Love Owies, but think he is at top of his value now and overvalued at that.

Honestly, Charlie draws three players at most contests. There's two of our forwards going spare, anyone with footspeed and goal sense will clean up --> see Williams

He's had his best year.
He's a really smart goal kicking small forward.
Someone will give us a 2nd round pick for him.

Owies not tall. Not fast. Can't keep his feet. Useless up the ground. Not clutch.

But third in our goal kicking for a couple of years now.

Imagine how many he'd kick if he was good at anything.

His greatest strength is his smart positioning. Can't be underestimated. He knows how to stand on the right side of his opponent and own that dangerous space. Good mark for his size. And a very reliable shot at goal.

So many times our dumb players ignore him when open and bomb it to the top of the square. Could kick a lot more goals.

And he managed to avoid injury!!!!! Precious commodity on our list.

It looks like he will be trade bait but those goals will be missed.

Oh hello!





WEST Coast defender Tom Barrass has confirmed his intention to be traded to Hawthorn.

The 28-year-old has been the subject of trade speculation throughout the year and confirmed his desire to move to the Hawks at his exit meeting on Tuesday.
 
I was never moved by Haynes rumour and based on some posts during their game last week against the dogs it doesnt sound like hes going to be of too much value.

Another nothing type trade :huh:

But the Aleer trade sounds very promising :thumbsu:
I'd hazard a guess that he's there to cover Kemp going forward.
 
Yep. There are kids you watch and they just look AFL ready. Lord is one of those. Since being drafted he has looked likely. How he wasn't drafted defies logic. Kids just has it all

Just needs a bit more strength and a better engine for role he plays. Only 19

But even in the mid season draft he was barely mentioned pre-draft as likely.

It was a bit left field at the time wasn't it?
