News Charlie and the Lions Factory - the Everlasting Charlie Cameron Trade Thread

[SizeMatters]

I'm going off to watch the rest of the 76ers (good game!). Can't handle being in this mood for the rest of the week. Going to ruin my weekend.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Unless it comes with a future first rounder then I can't see how we have even benefit from this trade.

Serious?

So, hypothetically you think 12 for Cameron and Carlton's future second is a bad deal? That would value Cameron at 37 or so.

12 + Carlton's future third would value Cameron at approx 17.

 

[BRAB]

Freo get Wilson (arguably superior) for a pick in the mid 20s.

It's what happens when you have actual professional's running a club.

Brisbane will always be a joke if they keep overpaying for players like this

 

[Eons]

Don't lose your shit just yet, still plenty of time to give up pick 1

 

[Dom PC]

Ahhhhhh.....****. Pick 12 for a small forward that kicks 1 goal a game... his 4 tackles a game as a small forward does not bump up his value that much.

We could be about to be smashed in this trade.

****.

 

[M Malice]

Freo get Wilson (arguably superior) for a pick in the mid 20s.

Spot on Jack, Wilson is a gun, we are paying seriously overs if we go with pick 12 for Charlie unless something significant comes back our way.

 

[jackess]

Couldn't believe it when I saw that. Wilson's a star.

I disagree about star but it's a good trade for Freo considering he's contracted/

 

[captainrich]

I'm honestly shocked this is terrible

 

[notting18]

I was probably in the minority relatively okay with paying 12 for Cameron if required, but still this reaction surprises me. Some serious underrating of what Charlie can bring I think.

I am not necessarily OK with offering pick 12. But the emotive response difference between pick 12 vs pick 20 is what I don't get. Not too much different in price there for me.

 

[mikey127]

I feel sick in the guts but trying to tell myself to wait and see what happens

 

[Scubaveg]

Hasn't even been a suggestion we have budged from 20 yet.

The middle ground will probably end up being 18 and a swap of later picks mildly in Adelaide's favour.

So what if its pick 12 or 18 or 20 - do we need Cameron or not?
Simple answer is YES.
Lets just wait until all the deals are done before we judge our team.
After giving up 10 and 16 for Gibbs, they would want an earlish pick from us.

Possibly picks 12 & 40odd for Cameron and Carl's 2nd rounder 2018 would be good.
Then we have picks 1, 18 and 20 this year and 3 top 25 picks next year.

What can he bring?

 

[Scubaveg]

We blinked...

We are fcken pussies. Every year we get reamed.

It's quite possible that our recruiters are of the opinion that the difference in quality between #12 and #18/20 in this year's draft really isn't that much at all, and that if it's what's needed to get the deal done, they won't really mind.

talent wise theres a significant difference IMO.

You'd expect something else would come our way if 12 is offered

 

[Tom14]

Serious?

So, hypothetically you think 12 for Cameron and Carlton's future second is a bad deal?

I'd take that and run - spreads out our early picks and we still have 18 and 20. But I'd be shocked if we didn't have to give up something more to get Carlton's future second. That's quite possibly going to be pick 19ish particularly with Gibbs gone.

 

[Eons]

This is no place for reasoning, this is the meltdown thread and people will continue to melt!

 

[Crawb]

**** me. We had a great trade period last year, thought the dark days of October were well and truly behind us....

 

[PattyKwasagun]

What can he bring?

Is that a serious question? Immense pressure, line breaking pace (which we have none of), x factor, proven goal kicker.

I'm aware he's been inconsistent to date, but so has just about every other 23 year old footballer.

Sure, 12 on paper looks like an expensive price to pay - but I don't think we're going to get an option better than Charlie at pick 12 in this year's draft for what our list is lacking.

 

[The Golfing Lion]

Can a mod just red card me please till the draft. I don't want to come here and look but I can't stop myself.

 

[BangyBangy]

If we're giving up 12 he better win us a bloody prelim next year. Will reserve scathing criticism until the full trade is known.

 

[Tom14]
