I think Braun would be alright. He's pretty much at his peak at the moment. Only thing I don't like is his height (or lack of it) and the fact that he's two years older than Stenglein.

Honestly,
I think we have plenty of bargaining power, as JR said two clubs want him. he has a preference, perhaps a strong preference. But if push comes to shove, and AFC & WC can't agree he has limited choices: go to melbourne via PS Draft, or move to Freo. At that point he goes to freo imo.
If 2 clubs with an antagonistic relationship like Freo & WC are after the player, a fair deal will be offered by one of them.
After the Nick Stevens incident I would expect his manager to be looking for some sort of assurance that WC were prepared to trade seriously for him.
WC & Freo for that matter usually get things done, and this will get done as well.

yeh, it was weird because it was almost as if they emphasised it or something...the intro into the stenglien leaving the crows began;
"the eagles wont trade young gun south australians beau waters or sam butler for tyson stenglien who has said he wants to join the eagles......then it went to the story".
i get the feeling the eagles are steaming over the thought of waters going home.

The eagles have already used their third round pick with f/s for Mitch Morton so i does limit the deal if thats what adelaide wantJars458 said:

Quite right. Braun will not be a consideration, for the very reasons you have listed, although he is currently enjoying a purple patch of form.
Jones is zero chance as well. He's just plain not fair compensation.
Adelaide will target their main need which is a young mid-fielder with the ability to go on with it when the big guns peter out in about 3 years time. That's why they will target Waters from WCE or Schammer from Freo.
Personally, I think Freo would trade Schammer for Stenglein, as they are desperate for a mid-fielder with accountability.
The competition will possibly force WCE to part with Waters.
Adelaide WILL play hard ball on this one after getting egg all over their face with the Carey trade. They have to, after alienating their supporters even further with the public perception of their handling of the coaching appointment.
They need an act of public redemption to regain credibility with their supporters.
Reilly?RaDaR ReiLLy said:I cannot think of captain material now that Stinger has gone....
Really?AngelEyes said:Reilly?
Well maybe that will stop people saying he should be included in a TRADE to GO HOME. #$%@ theorangeapple said:
it was weird to come out with a statement like that first off. Surprised me a little. i thought it would be somewhere in the report towards the end but wasn't expecting them to say it so bluntly.
RaDaR ReiLLy said:Really?
honestly I think Kenny Mac will be future cap-it-ano with Stinger gone, but Reilly would be worth a mention at the captain table.
Well well well, dont we want something from myself truly?AngelEyes said:honestly I think Kenny Mac will be future cap-it-ano with Stinger gone, but Reilly would be worth a mention at the captain table.
Kenny Mac may be too quiet. But having said that, Reilly doesnt know of the word called 'speak'
The more I think about it and after reading all the opinion on this thread and others on the same topic I feel that the AFC and WCFC will have difficulty coming to a direct agreement. I sense it could be Freo or some sort of a three-way deal.
OR NOTHING!
OR NOTHING!

Which is why Johncock will come through as the new captain...
anyone else got that Kasey Chambers song in their head now?
Why hasn't Dean Cox been discussed further as an option? Maybe Stenglein and a 2nd or 3rd for Big Dean? WC still have Gardiner, Seaby and Johnson - and accumulate another midfield gun...
Omigawd no. Kasey bloomin chambers..hate her hate her.AngelEyes said:
Yes Johnscock is a good one actually. I like it
The Sarge will lead the AFC into the new, er, decadium...

Sorry, no dice. Too old.llosis said:
The AFC is looking for young midfielders to fill the void that we 'missed out' on 2 years ago. Our midfield group have aged and there is no stand-out to fill that gap.
Craigs philosophy?? Fix the backline; build the engine again and and release the 'old boys' forward.
Glad to have young Waters aboard.
Well, that throws a spanner in the works doesn't it jessjessjess-jess said:

Actually I don't mind Braun as a player & reckon he under-rated. Probably wouldn't be willing to straight swap with Stinger, but could be evened up with fringe player or swap of draft picks (say our 3rd for their 2nd round).Mad Dog said:
Surely you don't believe that. C'mon, history will tell you that in situations like Stenglein's a fair trade is reached between both parties 99% of the time. What happened last year with Nick Stevens and Jade Rawlings happens once every blue moontheorangeapple said:
