With what and on what coin? Don't see how a contending team could afford him

How is the Saints my team? Was talking about Jake Carlile. However as I have said we are long shots, Geelong probably have the cards in terms of depth players that could get it done, Hawks have the money. We are dead set 20-1 at that is at best!

Not enough. They haven't even begun to show the sort of upward trajectory of the Poachers.

Yeah, I was quoting your example of Carlie and referring to another poster about the Saints. Apologies.

He could get whatever he wants in terms of money at GWS; he ain't leaving to be a part of another non-successful side. He's no Ablett or Judd in that he's already won a flag and happy/ready to take up the challenge. He's played in 45 matches and won 5. **** THAT!

Carlton, St Kilda and the Bulldogs will all go very hard at him and they should all have a top 3-8 pick to hand over, in addition to players. St Kilda will have plenty of cap room too if Riewoldt retires at the end of next year.
Essendon obviously will have no chance of landing him so suggestions of a trade for Carlisle are pointless.

Would Geelong entertain the trade? Quick question but a tough answer I guess? Would you give a first rounder and a good player for him?
Didn't really answer my question though

He wants success...why is he going to the Bulldogs and the Saints again? How many flags have those two sides won? No disrespect but they are buckleys chance. Carlton maybe and they will go all out for him, so will Collingwood.
As for Essendon, I am against trading Jake Carlile BUT if it is for Cameron we would do it. However as I have said, we are long shots.

Easy. Hawthorn could. Buddy has gone, and they have that money as 'spare'

Trade him to us in return for us going easy on you this weekend.
Because realistically it's the only way a deal will get done, how is a contending club that is aiming for a flag able to give up the required picks or players?
And who do they give in return?

Hmm, as regards cash it would have to be a 6 year deal and then one of those years they blow it out to 2.5 million or something stupid. A team with a lot of veterans retiring in a couple of years might make it work.
To get him: I think it would honestly take like 3 solid players. E.g. from Geelong it would be someone like Duncan and then a couple of others I guess. As others have said the big factor is trying to convince players to go to GWS.
Sorry, I'm all giddy at the thought of the possibility it might be possible to get him. I'm not thinking straight.
And what would they trade for him?

I think any club seriously has to considering going for it. Having him alongside Hawkins would be out of this world. I think it would take someone like Duncan, pick 15 and maybe an up and comer to get the deal done. It's in GWS' best interest to deal otherwise he walks for naught.

Depends what GWS want.
What if they came to you and said Joel Selwood and Horlin Smith and he's yours?
You can build a team around a Cameron, those kind players come along very rarely.

Jesus you make it tough, but in all honesty... Selwood, Harry Taylor and Hawkins (maybe Motlop) are about the three untouchables. Would never trade my 3x flag winning captain for anything. But yeah...shit...
Honestly I don't think top end teams would have the currency, and Cameron probably doesn't want to go to a rebuilding team.
My prediction: He stays, for another year at least.

You'd let Hawkins and Motlop go...

As I said earlier in the thread, I would drive Andrew Swallow and Ryan Bastinac to the airport myself in return for J.Cameron.
And that's our captain and a good established midfielder with another 8-10 years in him.
Maybe its just me and Cameron, but FFS, the kid is unbelievable.
Giants wouldn't do that.
