List of Trade Trade Rumours: Part II

[Sunny_]

To be honest, Caddy is likely doing a tour of a few clubs. Except for Melbourne, which he put a line through. That's not super surprising about the North stuff.

There was nothing about last nights revelations that "surprised" me.

The inner Melbourne clubs

Carlton
Collingwood
Melbourne
North
Richmond

- Richmond are unlikely to prioritise a player like Caddy with their 1st round pick.
- Collingwood are unlikely to have the salary cap room if the Cloke rumors are correct.
- Melbourne have not been linked at all with Caddy.
- Carlton are rumored in the media to be interested in Caddy
- It has been publicly reported and acknowledged by the North president that Caddy will be taking the time to tour the club facilities. The North president stated Caddy would be "an ideal fit"

If it's "a single team in the inner Melbourne area", then it looks like being North.

Would be a damn good pick up for North but what do they give up?

First rounder wouldn't be enough. They would want a top 10 pick. You think you will need another pick in the 10-20 range.

THIS North supporter responded with the following:

That was a joke though right?

 

[Slattery_20]

That's pretty much all the big rumors and what are likely to happen. As for Goddard, I suspect more clubs will join the race. Although Essendon are the front runners for him at the moment, I think Geelong are a huge chance and if I was forced to tip where he would play next year I will go with Geelong.

Can't wait for free agency and the trade period, exciting time of the year.

I very much doubt Cats will be able to afford Goddard. He will be on a very healthy wage.
Clubs might well be trying to work out how much cap space the others have got.

I was refering mainly to TradeDraft's copy from Facebook:

Well respected journalist Damian Barrett has this evening revealed that Gold Coast youngster Josh Caddy has informed the club that his preferred destination is Collingwood.

He has asked Gold Coast to organize a trade to get him to Collingwood in trade week, so that he can be with his ill father.

Caddy was taken with pick 7 overall in the 2010 draft.

It would mean that Collingwood part ways with their first round pick (no 18 at this stage) and a player.​

You've exactly reiterated my point. If he's saying "Collingwood only, because my dad's sick", then that's laughable given all the other options there.

I'm not saying Caddy wants to come to Melbourne but is there an article or source on him not wanting to come.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

That was a joke though right?

An opinion is an opinion.

I probably wouldn't part with pick 17 for Wellingham and knowing Collingwoods interest in Pederson, I would try to engage a trade along those lines.

Perhaps a lower pick thrown in, but you always go high on your first bid, don't you?

 

[The 747]

No, I think we could end his career once and for all. What do you think smartass?

You are the keyboard warrior calling an elite footballer a "shit truck"......waaah dont like someone picking on you though?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

North is becoming a bit of a factory for talls. Happy to chase Pederson simply on their past history of being willing to lose good players.

Love the logic there I mean, sure Carlton are linked to Caddy, and have a higher pick to offer the GCS, but he is having a look at your facilities (something he will be doing for most clubs he is linked to) mean he will be going to North. Would this conclusion have anything to do with your hope that he goes to North because you follow said team ???

Cats have a few retirements that would have been on decent coin - they were chasing Boak pretty hard so they must have some spare capacity

I find it hard to believe our three time premiership playing, Brownlow, Norm Smiths, AA players would cop a bloke who has never won anything coming into the side at double their pay.

Boak signed for around 400k
Caddy will look for ~3-400k
Goddard ~6-700k

AFAIK all the guys they're losing were last year's veterans & hence, partially outside the cap.

I reckon Goddard will look for 800-1 million.

Where did I discount Carlton?

I provided hard evidence that Caddy is interested in North.
There is no hard evidence providing any link with Carlton.

 

[Slattery_20]

Whatever the money is, it's a lot; and I can't see Geelong (nor Collingwood) getting into that sort of range.

On SEN, word on the street is that Fremantle have offered BJ $3.4million for 4 years - $850k
They are also rumouring that Essendon have offered even more

What's it come to? A 20 year old who hasn't really shown anything yet is getting guided tours of clubs and getting his balls licked - like he's friggin royalty!

It was reported that Boak re-signed with Port for $700K PA. They were reportedly offering him more than anyone else (shows the state their club is in when they have to offer someone more than everyone else is offering just to get them to stay!)

Word on the street is that Freo have offered him 5 years and that it would be more than $850K PA, although the rest of their offer might be through 3rd party arrangements/sponsorships.

What about the article in the Australian yesterday reporting that Caddy had already met with 4 clubs, including Carlton?

He's going to crowbar a bloody big contract out of someone, is what it comes down to.

Richmond doesn't show prospective draftees around it's facilities? Is that such an outrageous act?

Has this been ratified by any of the clubs in question?
