Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

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

Tom Browne saying we would likely get a 2nd round pick (18-30) for Daniher via free agency next year and Sydney hold all the cards. Seriously lol

If Sydney only offered him 600k a year he'd scrape in as a 2nd round compo. Anywhere up around the million a year and hes easy 1st round compo. Tom Browne is a peanut

 

[SaintsSeptember]

You guys would be better making a play for Josh Bruce than Cox.
At least he's good at ground level.

 

[Andronicus]

Thinking about it a little more, I've always thought I'd love to see mason cox disappointed after a big ANZAC day loss, so this could work.

How does the bloke have a job. Daniher isnt going to signing at sydney for anything under 750k a year

I think Cox is being courted as a ruckman as well as a forward. I would have zero objection to making a play at Bruce though.

Pick 32 just doesn't sit well with you blokes does it.

We'd be looking at Cox as a back up ruck that can push forward. I wish we'd been onto Bruce earlier purely as a forward but looks like the dogs have done all the work needed to get him.

I shouldn't have laughed at this, but I did.

 

[Darealrath]

Cox is almost a pure forward. Seems to play as much ruck as Joe.

Do not want.

Seems like they they convinced him, but he's contracted. He was likely to go to Collingwood last year.
Match the contract under offer and make a fair off to the Saints, and it could work.

 

[Beerfish]

Wait is this the guy with the palm tree tat?

What's the rumoured contract?

 

[Jager bombers]

Not at all. Cox would be a Z Clarke replacement not a Joe Daniher replacement

if we're looking for an upgrade on Clarke, i'd rather try get Paul Salmon out of retirement again

 

[carnthedons]

Nah that’s the pride of Gippsland, Timmy Membrey

 

[Zach Package]

If he could genuinely ruck we’d be singing a different song but he’s a rancid footballer

 

[Howard Moon]

I don't think a club can have two cult figures.... Tippa last seen on a rocking chair out front of the hanger with a rifle waiting for cox ..you just keep right on driving pal, this joints only big enough for one of us

I would love that to happen. He's a consistent player. Worth a pick as low as 18 in my opinion

 

[Beerfish]

Disagree. We need more cult figures. They help fill the void that the lack of success at anything has created.

 

[Mercurial89]

I question how keen we are.
We will just be shaking trees because this Daniher thing has caught us out and we would be canvassing all options, key forwards, ruckman, rucks that can play forward.

Remember this time of year a question is reported as a team chasing a player.

 

[dnbassador]

Why don’t we just cut Blues out of it?

Daniher to Swans
Pick 5, Papley some pick swaps

 

[Bjchan13]

heck that was good. I was at that final v west coast in 02. Was great cheering him off in the 4th when we'd won and his work was done.

 

[BomberARMY]

**** me dead, Mason Cox now, really? Wtf is Essendon even doing anymore.. have we really given up so badly...

 

[Howard Moon]

Disagree. We need more cult figures. They help fill the void that the lack of success at anything has created.

Yeh but for every cult figure there needs to be a whipping boy, it's the order of things.. one gains power from the misfortune of the other like a parasitic svengali.

We only have one Zaharakis... Unless , does this mean Langford remains?

 

[SaintsSeptember]

What's the rumoured contract?

4 years i think.. Not sure the money.

 

[eth-dog]

4 years i think.. Not sure the money.

Hm. Would have matched 3, as long as the money wasn't outrageous.
