Who are the players that we have the depth to cover and that actually have significant trade value? I would do Clarke + in a heartbeat but don't think they will.
In terms of similar trade value Neale is the stand out for me. He is clearly one of our top midfielders, and is nudging AA selection. With them losing top midfielders this trade season he is what they will ask for imo. They also won't draft deep, meaning they could have 2nd round picks available.
I think that is where the conversation is likely to go, and with Weller, Blakely, Langdon, Grey and Ballard we could consider it.
Bring on the flames, I am ready for it.

Neale has played 3 years of quality footy and is now in line for an AA.
MCarthy had played half a season of quality footy...not sure that's value for money

Do we have any idea yet why McCarthy wants to come home? I think this will be a big decider on if we get him or not.
If he wants home just because he misses our beaches then GWS will try and rort us... but if it's something serious then we might find a fair trade.

If McCarthy keeps his manager making noise about coming back then we are in with a good shot.
After that re: Neale.... They would need to give us a pick as well. He is in the AA squad so is worth more than McCarthy and could add further to that value with a norm smith in a winning gf team!

Ryan Daniels (7 Sport) was saying on Friday night that Chris Mayne had been mentioned as part of the deal for McCarthy?
As much as it would break my heart, if we get McCarthy, Mayney might be out of a Job

Silly talk really. GWS are going to be saying Sunshine is not in the equation, but both clubs know that virtually every player is tradeable. If we want to land a decent key forward then there will be a price to pay. It is as simple as that. Especially given that he is contracted.
Mayne was close to being a part of the Mitch Clark deal way back when. McCarthy would be a pretty good return for him, his harassing and forward pressure is underrated - mainly because he kicks goals too.
How do you rate each of their trade value? I think they are similar and the difference can be balanced with 2nd round picks.
How do you see the depth in our young midfield? Neale has been sensational, and no team would want to lose him, but he is one of the few midfielders we have who would appeal to them, along with Hill and Fyfe.
I still think we're light on quality to be frank...Bennel may ease that...but if I'm Lachie Neale I tell them to piss up a rope
I'd do that.
I don't want Neale traded either. But if we want a forward we will have to give something of value. Picks or a player. And fyfe and hill are off the table.
Gws may want Barlow... As much as I love him Id do that but he's not young so they might not want too.
Didn't answer my questions.....
I'll try another angle. Do you think Blakely will be afl standard?
When do you see him getting a game?
Given he is an inside mid, could he replace Neale?
Do you see any actually realistic trades involving a best 18 player who would be in GWS best 22 from next year?

Not really . silly talk to speak of trading him IMO . You dont rip your heart out to save your feet. Neale and Fyfe are the nucleus of this clubs midfield for the next decade and Lachie has clearly proven himself as a big gamer. Of course we are going to have to give a lot to get MCCarthy back and we should do our best . SUbes, Zac C , Clancee , Mayne ,Silvagni , Weller draft picks we can still offer a fair bit without giving up the crown jewels
Yes with our first pick...but my assessment of our quality is relevant.
We're not strong enough midfield to give away Neale. I still see our midfield as a weakness particularly with ball movement

Perhaps, but they need ruckmen and Suban would walk in to their 1st 22 in my opinion. I must admit GWS obviously gonna play hardball . still to trade Neale would be crazy
So in that option the comparison is;
Neale for McCarthy and a 2nd round
Versus
Barlow + 1st round for McCarthy
Or effectively Neale=McCarthy+Barlow+1st round+2nd round
Barlow=McCarthy - 1st round - 2nd round
I agree... Hopefully lachie improves his use as he has done. Looking for a goal and 27 this week from lachie!
We will need to give quality for McCarthy... Just remains to be seen how much we are willing to part with.
