Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

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

 

[eDPS]

How do you rate the current crop?

It’s an even crop compared to last year, good depth going into the 50s but drops of for me after that for players I would struggle to even take as rookies. Last years top end is better and lucky for Dodoro this is a good year for flankers who could become mids

 

[Sporno 4 Pyros]

Here is the article that mentions Wills being available.
For those stuck behind the paywall it looks like the pies have hit the panic button with their salary cap and the need to keep their big 3, seeing if anyone will take the Aish bait.

Dockers emerge as suitor for Aish

Fremantle have emerged as a likely destination for James Aish who appears poised to be squeezed out of Collingwood.

Has there been a response to them from our end?

Not that I'm aware of.
But it makes me think they'll package one for Jones and another with Bruce.
Would of thought we would use one for cutler

 

[brain taylor]

Rubbish. Give it up Xavi....err...jordani

I like the way Snrub thinks

 

[Milanista28]

Cutler is a pick in the 4th round type of trade

 

[Xavier Menzies]

Cutler is a pick in the 4th round type of trade

You think they'll take pick 65?

 

[TheGrizz]

Cutler is a pick in the 4th round type of trade

Pick 59 would do it you reckon?
With them signing Ellis-Yolmen and and a bunch of gun youngster out of contract they might be willing to do that for the salary.

Bruce is a St Kilda player

 

[fairbump_playon]

Trade week shouldn't be this long. It's a joke that Kelly is the only major trade that went through so far. It should be a week. That's it.
That'll help cut the BS and get straight to the point.

The trades are getting waaay more complex. I’m hoping one day there will be a trade involving all players from all clubs.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Bruce is a St Kilda player

Think he means with Bruce to get Bulldogs pick 13.

 

[JayJ20]

Think he means with Bruce to get Bulldogs pick 13.

Ah. Yeah Bulldogs aren't doing that.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Ah. Yeah Bulldogs aren't doing that.

Tbh I think it’s fair. I’d rate Bruce around 18-20. He had a great year and very much enhanced his value in my eyes. Worth more to the dogs pushing for a flag than a kid IMO.

What would you rate Shaun McKernan if we were trading him?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

What would you rate Shaun McKernan if we were trading him?

Not much, pick in the 50s, might be able to get something better (late thirties) if a team pushing for a flag head hunted him.

Not sure anyone would bother at 29 and injury prone but would actually be a good selection for the doggies now. Chop out for Naughton and English.

You know which club wouldn't salute surely

 

[brutus76]

I'd think more likely:

Carlton get 16 and 21
Brisbane Lions get 9

16 and a future second for Papley and 54
21 gets them Martin

Essendon 5 and Hewett and a 2020 1st
Sydney Joey Jo Jo and 33

Sydney then have 16, 25, 33, 44, 62, 63, 81 and a 2020 2nd
they can use these picks to swap with the Dogs and Saints for future 2nds and 3rds who are in DIRE NEED OF PICKS NOW to get players

That way they'll have ample future picks stored for their 2 or 3 academy kids next year and still a 1st round pick this year.

 

[Andronicus]

What would you rate Shaun McKernan if we were trading him?

Top 5 I'd say.

 

[Duckworth]

I'd think more likely:

Carlton get 16 and 21

16 and a future second for Papley and 54
21 gets them Martin

Essendon 5 and Hewett and a 2020 1st

May as well throw Phillips into any trade involving Essendon and Carlton.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Top 5 I'd say.

Hardly outlandish to suggest a 27 year old whose had yearly tallies of 50, 36, 38 and 36 from four of the last five years is worth more than a late second in a weak draft.

 

[yaco55]

I dont think thatll ever happen with any player, it would be so unprofessional, but could he afford too? If JD is fit he has to play, he's played 10 games in 2 years,

Cam McCarthy sat out a year and Patton effectively stood ou this year.

 

[yaco55]

100% this. If he were to dominate and get back to being one of the best key forwards in the comp then a) it bodes well for us on field which would make JD way up his options more and b) gives us that much more bargaining power as he will still be a RFA to which we have the ability to match any offer that comes his way.

In what world would you match JD's RFA if by chance he plays atEFC in 2020 and he still wants to leave - This is the world gone crazy.

 

[yaco55]

Wills is a limited player who can only play one position as an inside midfielder and even then he's as limited as Myers as an inside midfielder - he is Myers mark two.

 

[TDay]

There are very few things more banal than arguing over how ITK someone is.

For the sake of collective sanity, move on everyone.

I would like to argue that i am the most not ITK, out of all of you

 

[TDay]

Wills is a limited player who can only play one position as an inside midfielder and even then he's as limited as Myers as an inside midfielder - he is Myers mark two.

So we will work on turning him into a flanker then
