Hey ABC Radio - stop copying my ideasI think a lot of Blues fans appreciate were selling low, which is why many would prefer a player over picks. Ideally a player who hasn't delivered amazing results for you, but has had games where they've shown their potential.
Brander seems most likely, but I'd also be interested in where your list management team values Petruccelle. If SPS is being recruited as a mid/fwd, who do you expect would be pushed out of the 22 for him?

Stats don't mean much, just look at Tom Mitchell and compare him to Cyril Rioli. Ask Hawks supporters who they'd rather have in their team right now.Statistically SPS has him covered on almost all stats this year and SPS had a very poor season.
Not a great player to look at statistically TBH. He's an impact player in the forward line who averages just under a goal a game and has great pace.Statistically SPS has him covered on almost all stats this year and SPS had a very poor season.
Am I taking crazy pills??
I don't want to be mean, but SPS isn't worth anything. He has extremely low trade value. Carlton had half their team out in that final game and he still couldn't get in the best 22. And Carlton aren't exactly world beaters.
He may have potential, but potential as a selling point can be used for a player who is like 20 and only gotten a handful of games because a great team squeezed him out. Not someone who has played close to 100. Luke Duntan I would personally take over SPS, and he got delisted!
Whilst you weren't meaning it, that would actually be a pretty ideal mediation tool. Get rid of the preseason draft, and allow for live player trades on draft night.That's how I feel about him as well. When I think about trades I try to consider where the player would go if he walked into the draft and said he'd be happy to play anywhere, which instantly increases his pick value compared to the actual trade situation given that in reality he's OOC and has nominated West Coast
With blokes like Sheldrick/Dittmar projected to go 35-45, I think most clubs would take their potential over a player that hasn't fired a shot in 2 years (regardless of position). I couldn't see SPS going in the top 60 picks to be honest. Feels like a token pick type trade only - if he'd been a pick 30 in his draft year he'd be lucky to get rookied and I can't see why any value should be attributed to what he did in junior footy 6 years ago.
By comparison, if Cerra walked to the draft I reckon he's behind only Daicos, Horne-Francis and maybe Darcy (haven't seen enough to comment).

Wherever a player gets picked, that pick goes to the club they are departing.
E.g - If Cerra goes to the draft, and a club bids for him before our pick 6 (let's say pick 4), then we can either lose him, or try to facilitate a trade with that club to get him (perhaps that's our pick 6 and an upgrade in the second round). Freo gets to use pick 4 then and there at the draft.
Doesn't impact the rest of the order, and ensures clubs are paying a value equal to that players market value at the draft.
Ha, late second or early third is probably about where it sits IMOJust thought I'd check in on this thread, what's Samo's value down to now? A 5th rounder?
edit: if that is too much for SPS, perhaps that first rounder could nab them both SPS & McGovern?wc could split their first pick, thereby keeping the necessary 1st round pick, but also giving one for SPS.

wc give Bris 10 & 29 for 14 & 18, then trade 14 for SPS & McGovern to Carlton.
Blues then give 6 & 14 to Freo for Cerra.

Adding an extra handful of sh*t to the existing bag of sh*t doesn't make the bag of sh*t worth more.
Unless West Coast are going into fertilising and farming.
What happened to his tackling? Went from average around in the 4 season to averaging just under 2 this season
He's soft. Hate to say it but it's true. Gibbs 2.0 but not as skilled and that's saying something. If he wants to go home we should just get it done for his sake and not worry too much about what we get. He just isn't firing at the Blues like we wanted him too.What happened to his tackling?

Rather than our own doing I would say its his doing on why he has gone backwardsSPS for Petrocelli is a clear loss for Carlton both on output and potential, however most Carlton fans appreciate we are going to get unders for Samo and most of that is our own doing.. and a straight swap might just make the most sense for both clubs. WCE cap is allegedly tight so replacing1 similar salary with another might be good business. Personally I would rather something like this over any likely picks we would get in return but its not often a straight swap for players happens.
If we don't get anything for Samo it won't be unders. He would struggle next year at the Blues, I can't see him making the 22 at any point especially if Cerra and Hewitt come on board. There are better players to come in as well such as Brodie Kemp, Fogharty and Marchbank. I just can't see where he fits in next year. Depth player maybe if we get hammered by injuries? Petrocelli has a bit more heart. I'd say that's a win for the Blues.SPS for Petrocelli is a clear loss for Carlton both on output and potential, however most Carlton fans appreciate we are going to get unders for Samo and most of that is our own doing.. and a straight swap might just make the most sense for both clubs.

If Carlton is lucky maybe get a 3rd round pick.
Worth absolutely nothing.
