Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VI

[adsla69k]

I heard Gary Lyon this morning drop the Essendon player to Sydney thing too. He sounded legit but also like he couldn't say anymore, Watson deflected. Maybe it's a story being saved for the footy show tonight. Gleeson would hardly warrant holding the cards close to the chest, I'm thinking a Hurley or Zaharakis with the former being an upgrade on Hanners, maybe colyer too? Could we still be blindsided by a Francis trade?

Saints. 1.3m for 7 surely won't be turned down.

700 per year over 7 would be more realistic

Wonder how his body is holding up

A colyer and Gleeson combo could work

Didnt Sheedy say he would be a Brownlow medalist one day? (A few years back)

Yes he did

But he won’t

I like him very much and would be a good fit but I don’t think he is at that level

Other teams are willing to pay more over the same length ... so yep not happening

Given the fact that GWS has given the OK for Shiel to speak to a Victorian Club, i.e. one Victorian club.

That club being Essendon.

Is it possible that they have a player(s) in mind as a trade?

Realistically, it would have to be somebody that would fit within their salary cap. They are in their premiership
window, so they would not mind getting somebody in their late 20s.

It could be somebody completely out of left field like Hartley and McKernan + Baguley (BOG when we played them last)
or maybe one of our young backmen. Perhaps a guy like Laverde.

They would want a hooker or Hurley in that scenario

They would want a hooker or Hurley in that scenario

Getting rid of one of those two would be like selling one of your kids. Couldn't see it happening.

Laverde again? He seriously signed 2 weeks ago.

 

[MarkG]

Not saying we should be trading him... reckon he will click like Langford in the near future.

Just trying to imagine who GWS would be looking at. Griffin has just retired and they are likely to lose Shiel and Lob.
They lacked forwards against Magpies in their final. So guys that can play midfield and forward. Langford would also
appeal to them big time. Even Begley.

I would never get rid of them. Just saying Sydney would be after those type of players over the previous post of:
Hartley and McKernan + Baguley

 

[Andronicus]

Yes he did

But he won’t

I like him very much and would be a good fit but I don’t think he is at that level

By that level, you mean as good as Priddis?

Baguley ?



This board is loose

 

[Dave]

All of it?

If you’ve seen one.....

 

[Dave]

Would trade Ridley before Gleeson

GTFO.

Laverde just re-signed, no chance he’s traded.

Yep GWS will go after a VFL backman, a journey man forward and a guy not long for this league. Of those three only Hartley is possible but GWS is more likely to ask about Gleeson or Zaharakis than these borderline AFL players.

 

[quotemokc]

GTFO.

As it currently stands Gleeson is a better player than Ridley.

Overall I would rather not get Parker because he is a flog.

 

[Eleven 38]

Surely Ambrose could be in there too?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

According to Brasha on blitz who claims to have sources say it’s Parish the swans are enquiring about

Hopefully he’s been clogging our list for years

We can't afford to lose midfielders.

Posted on BomberBlitz!

from a bit further on....



Good job BigFooty guy... and the delusion of Carlton supporters is limitless.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I agree.

Parish is out of contract next season If I'm not mistaken
