What if Melbourne were clear they weren’t giving anything back?

How were we getting their contracted player then?

Good faith trade. Get it done to help the player. Paid overs in reality. Melbourne wanted to keep him. But let him go easily because of his circumstances.

 

[crow2crow]

Cheers.




Don't take any horse accounts seriously.

yeh hes a mare. i have heard another source there is a 4th target and that we are still actively tring to trade someone out.

 

[rabidcrow]

Ugh, no thanks.

They will be in our top 3-4 choices seemingly. Have been linked to both - and Draper. Haven’t heard us linked with Travaglia at all - or Smith, or FOS

Definitely the others though

Wants to go to the Cats... but Dees wouldn't allow it.

Don't think they have changed their minds.... but they are all over the place.

They want him gone but they don’t want a Geelong type deal for him - which is fair enough

If Rioli gets Richmond pick 6, they should be handing the first rounder they get for Baker to Gold Coast

And if Baker is worth pick 14 (via Hawthorn for Barrass) then Richmond should hand pick 32 back to West Coast.

Basically to get pick 6 they should be handing over Rioli, Baker and a second rounder

 

[adelaidecrows]

I thought Roo said there was an unnamed target yet to be released about a week ago. After Peatling so its not him.

It would not be hard to trade out a fringe player, nearly all of ours are bottom barrel third and 4th rounders in value. So I wonder if its a current name best 23 player. (not Murphy) he is a 6th rounder and no one will want him. Not to speculate but there really is only one player that could bring back any real value. But a name player surely would have leaked to the media. So its hard to say, especially the player im thinking of.

The only other sort of players would be best 23 players that have told the club that although contracted they would be open to a trade back to their home state.

If Geelong gave them their 1st rounder and offered to absorb 80% of his contract the dees would drive him to Geelong themselves.

Pick 14 for a player who averages 19 disposals and kicked just 14 goals. wowee. Are West Coast that desperate?


If Richmond get that done, that is the crime of century. What a steal!

 

[crow2crow]

We do but the club doesn’t think that

ned reveals that tim silvers does think that. others may not but he does.

McHenry? Surprises me that he’d say something like that about the club in public

we all know it should be laird but wont be but as i said even smith would be a win

 

[crow2crow]

McHenry? Surprises me that he’d say something like that about the club in public

thats why i said i suggest you all listen to the interview. its right at the end. he has no vested interest

 

[adelaidecrows]

we all know it should be laird but wont be but as i said even smith would be a win

If depends if they are trying to get value like a first or 2nd rounder or simply clear a spot. Laird doesnt get a 1st or 2nd rounder. So it depends on what they are trying to do.

 

[adelaidecrows]

McHenry? Surprises me that he’d say something like that about the club in public

Why? I dont think the club treated him great in his final year. They could have dropped him back to the Sanfl quietly but went public with this farscicle non statistical shape running role which all but made McHenry a joke amongst the supporters. They they threw him back to the Sanfl. So kind of can see that maybe he hasnt parted ways with the club on the best of terms.

Doesn’t seem like the kind of guy to have a direct pot shot at someone in public

Anyway I’m listening to it right now, it’s more along the lines of “if Silvers thinks more staff are needed, I’d be on board”

 

[crow2crow]

i think laird gets a late second

to clear a spot go smith

Sholl?

 

[El Doederino]

Sholl?

I think Sholl and Butts are the most likely who we would be fine with leaving and other clubs would have a genuine interest

There was also talk that clubs were into Dowling when we weren't playing him

 

[George Kramer]

Some are getting greedy and based on some flogs rumour.

We aren’t trading anyone out or in.

We are done after Peatling.

We have brought in 3 good players.

Last year we brought in Burgess.

Be happy.

It is incredibly rare for players to remain unnamed if they are being shopped around. Someone would have leaked it.

I would never say never about trading anyone out though. Just because we dont know about it doesnt mean the club isnt shopping around a list of players for draft picks.

 

[El Doederino]

I reckon the 4th option is Draper.

ROB is out of contract and a free agent next year. He might get offers from Vic. He seems highly rated over there. If he went, we'd be stuffed as Strachan is not good. Draper is not much better, but is good cover for ROB during the year, and an option if ROB did leave.

Dodson won't be ready for a while. We were into Goad last year. He'll have a 3-year deal, so might be working on getting him back?

Well, except for the Burgess part

Done after Peatling?

I hope we're considering a trade with North for pick 2.

If we swap 2nds and 3rds with GWS for Peatling then I wouldn't be opposed to trading 4 + GWS F2 for 2.

Why when the top end of the draft is so even and that’s not going to get pick 2, besides I doubt we are swapping both picks, one of those they’ll keep, likely the 3rd.
