Shannon "Shaguar" Grant

bellzy · Sep 17, 2006

What would rival clubs give for Shannon Grant in this years draft? Here at North we would reckon a mid to late first rounder, but for a 30 year old mabye that's a tad hopeful. As it's well known, he is a star player, and wil be for 2-3 years time.

Honest/propper answers only please.

HE is a gun player but clubs that are rebuilding wouldn't give away their first round draft picks even though he is worth that.
Kangas wouldn't trade their best player anyway

I seriously doubt you would get that this year.
Late 1st rounder/early 2nd rounder more likely.

Given your scenario, what is Aker worth in the eyes of North fans?

Philhawk · Sep 17, 2006

He would be a handy player during our rebuilding process ...

Would Pick 24 and a player like Boyle/Brennan suffice?

Im thinking more of the 7-16 region, Someone like Collingwood, W.Bulldog's, Sydney etc etc could use him. Remembering he was an All-Australian last year.

Well it looks as though it will be the doggies 1st rounder and S.Power, who is a good player.

If it was the Hawks id take their 2nd rounder & J.Lewis but they would never do it, they are on a one way rebuilding process.

I think he is worth a pick 5 or so but clubs wont give that up for him. I think you should target geelongs pick 7

We wouldn't give away Lewis, particularly when he went at Pick 7.

At best, North could expect a player like Boyle/Brennan/Reis/Ball in addition to Pick 24 for Grant I reckon.

If he had made AA again this year, the he would definitely be worth a Top 10 pick this year, if not Top 5.

The fact that he didn't have a good season could have been overlooked if he wasn't 30 though.

I stand corrected if that's the case. Would make a slight difference, but in the grand scheme of things,

a) He's too close to the 'taboo' 30 years
b) North wouldn't trade him anyway

Ummmm Brisbane are NOT getting our first round pick. Eade has stipulated many times we are NOT giving it away

Mordecai · Sep 17, 2006

Last year was the year to trade him. Uncontracted and a stellar season.

This year if he was coming from another club i wouldn't want him. Poor season and approaching 30.

I'd take pick 24 and L.Brennan.

Thewlis Dish · Sep 17, 2006

As a North fan, I don't see the point in trading him, as he has been a very good servant of the club and we'd never get proper value. Would be a trade for the sake of trading.

Why? Brennan is trash and pick 24 is a lottery, even in a percieved 'superdraft'.

and you would be an idiot.

Pick 24 and Ladson!!

bellzy · Sep 17, 2006

He's still near carear best form, after an AA last year. One bad season can't dictate a players carear. Anyway, coaches and recruiting staff know just how dangerous he can be, and at worst, he still has an impact on every game.

Both clubs lose.
Grant should be retained. His value to us is more than his trade value. However, if it is a "youth policy" we have then such deals have to be considered.

seems fair??
