Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

We can't trade our first without bringing another first in.

 

[HirdyLannister]

There is no reason for us to blink first for Joey and Raz, their wages would of been already factored in next year so it's not a salary dump.
If Essendon doesn't get what they deem is fair value a trade won't be facilitated.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I can't recall one trade where a high profile contracted player did not come out and say they want to move before the trade was completed.

I never said not knowing anything until trade is completed either. There are lots of players who come close to moving and we don't know much about and a lot who we find out are moving just a day or so prior to a trade happening.

Joe falls in a different category, we know he's weighing things up but I'm saying I don't think he'll come out and announce anything one way or another. He'll just sit back and let the clubs sort it out in the background. I think we'll hear from Joe when somethings sorted or when it's known something won't be sorted.

Have always been big wraps for Tom Cutler. Has a lethal leg on him and not afraid of the contest. Could easily be our best outside with a bit of opportunity and development.

Pretty rough to discredit a player on a singular merit. He has flaws sure but so does everybody.

He'll be a great pick up if we get him. Won't cost too much and will give it his all. In a dream world - we package him up with Ely Smith for a pick.

My biggest concern is his two way running.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Great, another almost player. Not quite a midfielder. Not quite a defender. Not quite inside.

Seriously.! when will it stop?

He reminds me a lot of Crisp, who they also didn’t develop well or see his obvious talent. Just need to pick a position and give him the game time.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Was thinking more 1st round, semantics.

We’ve got Smith and Shiel thanks to first round picks.

First rounders is what makes you. Tigers history was laughable then they got Cotchin, Martin and Riewoldt.

Hawks fan rang into SEN with a trade I thought you'd get a kick out of.

West Coast: Kelly
Hawthorn: 2019 + 2020 1st round
Geelong: McEvoy

 

[rumply]

i think both Raz and Joey will stay...

yeeeeeeeaaaaaah....nah

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Yeh but it's like our team is littered with them lol. Even so I am quite confident that will be a big focus on his game under Caracella. Doubt we'll make any progress as a club if our players only want to go one way.

Actually most of the players we've recruited in the Worsfold era (draft and trade) work hard defensively, and always have.

Peak was 3 years ago when they were adamant GWS were giving up a mid to late 1st for Puopolo coz he was their missing piece.

But yeah, Essington are the delusional supporter base.

It's obvious they both want out, if either stay it's because we weren't satisfied.

The real question is why would anyone even listen that garbage in the first place

Coz listening to morons makes me happy.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Can't like this enough. Ultimately we want players at the club who want to be there. The names you mentioned will be outstanding players for our club and will lead us into our next phase whatever that may be.

We should recall too, there’s not much that says even these two are really keen to leave. If that were the case, we’d have probably heard weeks ago. They’ve got offers and I’d say they’re weighing them up.

 

[faible]

You must be real happy after visiting this place then.

I caught ten mins of it the other day.

Wowee

Just makes you remember the type of people you’re probably dealing with on BF.

Except you guys of course, you guys are cool

With Fantasia I see Port trying to get bargain basement price and Essendon asking for high ceiling price, someone will break.

Based on form, probably Orazio.

 

[BrunoV]

AFL.com saying we’re interested in Tom Cutler.

The biggest 192cm ever recorded.

With gws getting Green this year out of their academy, it’d be smart to try and pry out Hately or bonar. There is only so many midefield spots available plus ward will be back.

They should be for sure and should be looking for key position posts to develop or at least have in the background should one of their senior players gets injured or if Cameron leaves in free agency next year.

If we did end up with pick 5, I hope we put a bid in for Green (and i hope GWS can't match the bid).

According to the AFL.com Trade Talk thread, Dodoro is meant to be on Trade Radio today.
Is that right?
If yes, does any one know what time he is expected to be on?
