I mean, you’d ask for no less than what the Cats wanted for Esava, right? Possibly even more, given in contract

Please text Reid and tell him not to trade pick 4 for lukosius.Ok mate thanks for a very reasonable response. Firstly, I don’t know enough about a couple of those players you have named. I was at last years GF and have to admit it’s harder to hate the Pies these days haha. You should be proud.
That said, with 10 or more first term players 30+ next year (many quite well into 30’s) man the cliff is coming fast. Don’t you agree? Not sure Pies will be a top 6 team next year with so many older players surely dropping off at some point (Pendles, S/bottom, Mikocek, Howe, Elliott etc). Also, conscious Pies are NOW good at extracting value in many trades (Hill, Lipinski) but not all (Schultz seems an underwhelming trade to me?)
In summary, rate Keane and don’t want to lose him. He is under contract and I have genuinely already texted old mate Justin Reid (Crows List Mgr) imploring him to NOT let Keane go for less than F1
& other clubs in Victoria only strengthens our position here
Don’t have him in my must keep listI want to keep him more than most, absolutely . But I am also a pragmatist.
If things get crazy and we are offered well overs take it and use it this year.
Put it down as a recruiting coup, one to make up for some of the sins of the past
Yes but apparently you can’t define a lockdown defender I have learned today which I find strange. So can only assume you are no good at judging horse flesh when it comes to an interceptor eitherDon’t have him in my must keep list

Never thought of it like thatIf, hypothetically, we had the opportunity to trade in mark Keane for no picks and just money, we'd do it in a heartbeat. So why are we not as enthusiastic to keep him. Costs only cap space. Nothing more.
that is if Keane either wants to stay and play as a backup to either butts, murray and worrellNever thought of it like that
Keane has played every game this year.that is if Keane either wants to stay and play as a backup to either butts, murray and worrell
Don't think we'd get anything close to that.Keane and Berry for Pies future first.
The odds are 1 of the 4 will be injured or we could utilise up forward if we have forwards injured.Keane has played every game this year.
But in a world where all four are fit, Keane is good enough to possibly force his way into the team, particularly with more experience.
They're all slightly different which is a positive. In the above perfect world, the call could come down to oppo that particular week. No one is the backup to any others. All four are our defence and are played when required, not every week just because.
The odds are 1 of the 4 will be injured or we could utilise up forward if we have forwards injured.
We shouldn't be looking to trade out Keane unless we are bringing in an experienced replacement.
Burgess should be delisted.
Borlase better as depth.
The concern is have we left it too late? If he’s got a decent offer from Collingwood awhile back he may have already made up his mind to goWe can only put an offer in - its now up to him
If we have tried to pinch him with a previous offer for unders I can only hope we have tried to re-tuck him withThe concern is have we left it too late? If he’s got a decent offer from Collingwood awhile back he may have already made up his mind to go
He cam re-sign with us & increase his salary next season or leave at the end of next season after earning less...The concern is have we left it too late? If he’s got a decent offer from Collingwood awhile back he may have already made up his mind to go
actually good point. IF we hold him to his current 2 year rookie contract (2024/2025) he might be making perhaps (total guess) 300k ish inc game fees in both 2024 and 2025.He cam re-sign with us & increase his salary next season or leave at the end of next season after earning less...
Unless we agree to trade him this year whilst under contractHe cam re-sign with us & increase his salary next season or leave at the end of next season after earning less...
Bottom line is we hold the cards.Unless we agree to trade him this year whilst under contract
