Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[Jeffcrowe]

Hopefully we can get M.Talia as a DFA. Trade in Hampton for 2016 2nd and a 3rd back our way.
Then trade out Wright.
Trade Kerridge and 32 for Menzel.
Don't think we will get Anderson, going by Nobles comments.

Wright is untradeable

Delist wright

Jarrod coached my lad after Greg Mellor the previous year. Was a decent fella and good with the kids, if not a great coach (hard to match Mellor who was brilliant). Not a bad appointment imo, builds rapport well, good communicator, role probably suits him better than coaching.

 

[whitey_1975]

That would make rushing the Danger deal a bit odd.

Oh so eloquent in so few words. Bingo!

 

[Wood_Duck]

Cmon WD you know better than to believe that shit

Call me naive, but how could I know it wasnt true. He was out on the piss all night missed 2 meeting and his plane to Perth. I didnt even realise there was some doubt.

he's done some absolutely incredible work at the club. some absolutely fantastic players have come through

 

[CROWS84]

He's slid a bit. I'm just not sold. I like him, but by March next year he'll have gone 21 months without a game. It's a long time.

Thanks mate. Yeah it does seem a pretty big risk, I haven't seen him play but liked the sound of him from what you've said.

 

[whitey_1975]

Call me naive, but how could I know it wasnt true. He was out on the piss all night missed 2 meeting and his plane to Perth. I didnt even realise there was some doubt.

His manager explained the whole Richmond thing, and quite fairly it made sense. He doesn't appear to want to go to Vic so Vic media talk him down

 

[Magma]

This is the only reason why I personally would want that deal. Would much, much rather 9 and 13 over just pick 5.

Only thing I can think of is if Francis will slip to 5...

that would be my concern too. can't see him making it past 3 unless gc have changed their opinion on him.

he'll be a star though. there's a lot of cooney about him

 

[Bicks]

Interested how you would compare Burton before the broken leg to Francis as draft prospects.

 

[feenix67]

Greg Mellor probably deserves the credit for that. Along with Gary Irvine, the previous u16 coach. But we digress

 

[Wright Away]

I find it strange that we have been so tight lipped about everything we have done over the last 18 months, now we have Nobes telling the world after the first day of the Trade Period exactly what our plans are....

I'm really hoping we throw the kitchen sink at Menzel and Anderson to go along with Hampton and give us the X Factor we so badly need(and confine DMac and VB to the SANFL for the rest of their careers).

He has a history of being a big mouth.

Unless I am confusing Noble with the dimwit Harper.

 

[Magma]

Greg Mellor probably deserves the credit for that. Along with Gary Irvine, the previous u16 coach. But we digress

no problem with that at all. all these guys put in major work behind the scenes and deserve more plaudits then they get in my view.

 

[froggy32]

To be honest if it came to it id much rather Gore over Murdoch.

Murdoch just doesn't do a lot for me. Already 24 so probably has little scope ahead of him to improve, and is currently a C grade player.

Actually he's 23 - only his 4th year

 

[Jeffcrowe]

9 & 13 for 5 & 23? I like that.

Would only do 9 and 28 for pick 5

 

[feenix67]

Absolutely 1000%

 

[FantasticShirt]

That would make rushing the Danger deal a bit odd.

Unless Geelong were the ones rushing it

 

[spexau]

Disappointing we couldn't lure him but Gore is probably a similar type player

 

[Jeffcrowe]

pick 5 could possibly net francis. he might be there at 5, he wouldnt be there at 9. depends how high we can go, and what 3 and 4 decide to do.

GC will take him with pick 3

 

[Aaron929]

Noble was just asked if we were interested in bennell and gave a flat out no. Asked about Talia, Anderson and Yarran, said if they can help improve our list who knows.

Honestly seems like they know exactly who they are going to land.

 

[macca23]

Well, we can rule out Bennell as a trade target.

David Noble was asked this question just now on 5AA and after a few seconds delay, his answer was simply a blunt NO.

Obviously we're knocking back any interest in him for the same reasons as the majority of the clubs have already.

 

[Max Cottaletta]

Anyone who heard Nobes on 5AA would probably reach the same conclusion as me that Anderson is not even on our radar. Yarran sounded more likely and that is even unlikely.

 

[Tyls83]

Disappointing we couldn't lure him but Gore is probably a similar type player

Brisbane being forced into accepting unders yet again .

 

[Magma]

GC will take him with pick 3

i fully suspect they will

 

[Scorpus]

Disappointing we couldn't lure him but Gore is probably a similar type player

We didn't really hear his name linked to us, so maybe we didn't want him?

If we did want him, very disappointing we couldn't get him

 

[Niximus]

Unless Geelong were the ones rushing it

But why would we go along with that. If Danger and Hampton are all we want to get done and we have until next Thursday we could wait.
