Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

[quotemokc]

Is Harley a guarantee though?

Someone more educated than us said Harley could end uup like Jake Stringer or Dusty Martin at the moment. That's a fair gap and one im not prepared to sell my soul for

7 Frees against last week

 

[gillon]

Talking down skilful players because they "don't defend."



Where have I seen this before?

There’s a reason you don’t see failed defenders turn out to be great forwards. It’s much harder to impact offensively than defensively.

 

[Duckworth]

Why are the anti-Reid crew all pro Rowell. Do you think Rowell is coming for free?

In terms of football skills I’d say Reid is a 100% certainty. He has proven at AFL level to be a powerful explosive player who can be highly effective in both contested and uncontested situations in every area of the ground.

The doubts about Harley are purely related to his attitude/professionalism with a dash of injury risk that follows everyone who plays the game. Where as with a top 5 pick you have about a 33% chance they become an elite game changing footballer.

If you back in your environment/club to be able to help develop him into a person with professional habits (and he doesn’t get hurt) it’s a statistically justifiable choice based on average outcomes.

Reid efforts this year are pretty average

I know it's west coast but a worrying sign.

Think I'd take the 2 or 3 top tens. Could be 2 x top 5.

Good thing is we’ll know before trade week what those picks are and players likely to be available in those spots.

I dont want Rowell either

 

[Milanista28]

I'm certain Reid will become a top 10 player in the comp when he's settled and happy at whatever football club he wants to play for.

 

[windyhill]

Rowell, good solid citizen. Oliver tried to engage him physically and verbally.yesterday and Rowell just laughed at him, and burnt him off. Reid just wants to win the push and shove, his team is shit and he's just following suit.
Rowell by a mile, if we can wrangle it.
Rowell,adult. Reid,child.

 

[quotemokc]

Is Archer Reid a ruckman or budding forward?

 

[ghostdog]

Hopefully he wants to one day play for a club rather than a franchise.

I'd be surprised if the kids these days care about that angle tbh.

Yes yes, but why would Rowell leave?

 

[Yoda_]

I'll say this all year, let RFK & Rosa play 4D chess while everyone else play checkers

• Essendon finish bottom 4, Melbourne finish bottom 2
• Essendon let Draper leave and gain band 1 compensation
• Essendo could hold pick 2 (Melbourne), pick 4 (Essendon first), pick 5 (Draper compensation)

- Essendon take Cooper Duff-Tytler (pick 2), Willem Duursma (pick 4), Noah Hibbins Hargreaves (pick 5)

Add to that those 2 x second rounders (Essendon's & St Kilda's), and looking increasingly likely more than 1 Category B rookie could be available (El-Achkar, Adam Sweid, Alex Alessio possible as a Cat B father/son?)

turbo charge this rebuild

 

[windyhill]

I know I know. Oakleigh chargers boy, Anzac Day, KBE night, indigenous night, I don't know mate, probably grasping at straws.

Sorry WH. I just don't see it. GC are flying and he's helping drive them. We're at the wrong end of the ladder.

add to the fact that his best mate has just been named captain

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

There is 0 chance we get Rowell. Not even worth the conversation

 

[faible]

Yes yes, but why would Rowell leave?

He's OOC and met with a few clubs over the off-season.

If GCS have a successful year there's plenty of reasons for him to stay up north, but it's not outside the realm of possibility that he'll leave with a compelling offer.

Scream it louder please!

Also Alijah Davey is in this years draft as F/S

This is just straight facts by you Yoda

 

[Petrify]

I do wonder if we should target Oscar Allen over anyone else. Having him alongside Caddy wouldn't be the worst thing

We ain’t giving up multiple firsts for a player like rowell, it just ain’t happening. Rowell is a good player but let’s remember he hasn’t actually done a lot in his career to warrant it. Doesn’t have the body of work that you would give up huge assets for.

to be fair players rarely get traded based on the body of work they have done but rather the possibility of what they could do.

If players were traded on what they have done, Harley Reid would be getting traded for a half-eaten blueberry muffin.......from coles, not a fancy cafe one

Ok, but that wasn't the question I responded to.

If Rowell gets traded, he's absolutely commanding multiple first rounders.

 

[FootyGuru]

How far off is he defensively?
Asking because in McGrath we've got a defender who is a bumbling attacker.

From what I’ve seen of seh as a defender, which isn’t a whole lot admittedly. But he looks as if not more panicked than McGrath with ball in hand, slams in on the boot as soon as he gets it. I’d much rather see if he can be another quick pressure small forward, who can also take a grab.
