Reimers

The thing Essendon need is a quality midfielder.

The West Coast list is full of one paced plodders with ordinary skills. I hardly think Woosha would be prepared to offload one of the few mids that buck this trend.

Not at all, It might seem like a lot of face value as Stevens is an unknown quality, I don't think you would doubt Reimers is currently a better player than Stevens, IMO best 22. Reimers has proven to be a match winner on multiple occasions and has attributes that West Coast need (Pace, Finishing and Aggression) and Stevens has attributes that Essendon need (Strength and Inside ability). Its also not like a middle pick (late second/third) in this draft will be more than a 40-50.

And that's why you wouldn't trade him. He's a highly rates high draft pick from a strong draft. Could be a superstar, could be run of the mill, could even be a dud. But you wouldn't trade him for an injury prone half forward.

On potential and unknown quantity, Stevens has more currency than Reimers. No club would do that trade unless they twigged that Stevens had major deficiencies. Nothing yet has suggested that. he plays tonight at 4.40pm EST
 
Reimers is probs one of my fav players to watch when he is on. Would hate to see him go as showed early this year hes going to be good. I thought he played well enough to walk back into the side after injury, obviously fitness must have been an issue. Hate to see him go and if he did want to leave wouldnt want him to go for much less then Stevens to be honest.
 
Bar untouchables like Natanui, Cox, Kennedy and LeCras they have nothing.

Biggest list of turn over merchants in the comp. Would not touch anything West Coast had to offer unless Knights wants a crab.

Reimers must be re-signed, too talented to let go of.

Riemers is one of the only players on our list that has the potential to be elite. There is no way in the world that he would be sapped for a plodder like Selwood. We already have an abundence of his type.

He was playing good footy in the 1's and then was injured. He would have been recalled already if not for getting injured again. He isn't going anywhere.

Yep. We already have the one paced, tagger that can't do anything else in Welsh. I already want Welsh to make room so I'd hate to see two of the running around in the same team.

Keep Reimers. Has flash and a lot of potential just needs to get some form in the VFL after his injuries.

Yep, our list looks like Geelong, in the skill department, when compared to West Coast. They are clearly the worst team in the competiton when it comes to skill levels.

I couldn't care less as it was't my intention. You started the thread and you posed the question. Do you really think Woosha is going to offer up anything decent given the fact that your list is full of one paced midfielders that can't kick? We have enough on our list. We don't need your crabs.

West Coast board are saying Reimers for Spangher straight swap is fair. Apparently A Selwood would be paying over the odds.

Yeah coz we really need another tall. Especially one that would be about 7th-8th in line to get a game.

McKinley maybe. Maybe 2nd round pick.

Just depends if West Coast rate him and whether or not he wants to leave or knights wants to offload him.

Unfortunately I'm not. I suggested Selwood for Reimers and got no takers. They are well keen on Spangher for reimers straight swap. And there's still some who wouldn't do that deal.

There's the proof that both boards over rate their players.

Might as well answer your OP.

Reimers was probably the only one of a few players that were giving it their all at the start of the season. He then injured his wrist during or after the Collingwood match, round 5.

In the past few weeks, he has made his way back into the VFL. Had an decent game if I recall two weeks ago, but had a poor one last week. Currently playing as we speak and according to a poster on BomberBlitz, is having a good game.

If hypothetically he wanted to return home, and specifically to West Coast, we would probably ask for not a top tier player, but maybe someone in your second tier, we'd also have to throw in a draft pick. Either straight swap for a draft pick.

Unfortunately all 16 teams' supporters do. Just a fact of life unfortunately. Everyone wants to trade duds for stars and no one wants to even consider trading a starting 22 player.

Our second tier is pretty shit. Reimers is probably worth Priddis but I get the feeling West Coast rate Priddis much higher.

You mean McKinley + 2nd round?

Still wouldn't do it. We have Williams an he can't even get a game. Why would we give up one of our only potentially elite footballers for a guy who may not even be an upgrade on Williams?

We need a youngish inside midfielder with polished skills to compliment Watson whilst the likes of Melksham develop. Do you have anyone on your list that fits this criteria that you wouldbe willing to part with? Thought not.
 
Oh dear... So a 21 year old, who has had 4 years in an AFL system to get him up to speed, who has played 30-odd AFL games and averages almost a goal a game, who has good disposal, a good goal sense, and great vision with plenty of X-Factor is not worth a plodder like Adam Selwood? Your board need to get a clue. We aren't going to ship a player like that off for a 26-year old average negating midfielder, or a 23-year old undersized KPD of which we have an abundance who are younger and have shown more or have more potential in Pears, Hooker, T.Slattery, Daniher etc.

I think Reimers and a 3rd round for Luke Shuey would be fair based on potential, age, and what each has shown so far at AFL level. I would be reluctant, but would probably accept a straight swap in Reimers for Stevens. Obviously some biased on my side, but nothing like what you guys are throwing up with Reimers for Sphanger.

At least Reimers would be in our Best 22, I mean seriously, Spangher?

I would have had Priddis in your 2nd tier. FWIW, Top tier is Kennedy, Le Cras, NicNat and Cox.
