Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

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

 

[DonsRule]

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

And considering that we are paying him somewhere between $750k AND $900k a season, the reported Sydney offer if $800K-$1m wouldn't be too far outside what we would have put away for him you would think.

Yeah there's no way Joe is anything but a 1st round compo. He's not going to Sydney for the 'lifestyle' hes going for money. Same as Tom Lynch and Buddy. Gold coast finished 17th so had pick 2 and got 3 for Lynch. Hawthorn finished 1st so had pick 18 got pick 19 for Buddy.

 

[PhoenixBonez]

I'm ok with Dodo's interest in Cox if he's getting Bonar as well.

 

[JayJ20]

Wait is this the guy with the palm tree tat?

Nah it’s the one that plays like a palm tree.

 

[Paul_Barnard]

Signing Mason Cox would be the nail in the coffin for the next 3 seasons.

 

[Squeaky]

**** 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.

Me too!

 

[JT_the_Man]

I’d like to think we are looking at Cox as a low cost option to replace Zac Clarke?

 

[Bjchan13]

Wait is this the guy with the palm tree tat?

Thats memberberry ex swan. Bruce is the ex GWS consistent, lead up marking forward. Good player.

 

[JayJ20]

Not sure how to feel about Cox. Will be a stop gap recruit, but Z.Clarke proved that stop gaps can be very damaging...

To us.

Would recruit just to beat Richmond though.

Cox would be on half decent coin and he rarely rucks. Would be much cheaper to get zac smith or tom nicholls as a backup.

 

[carnthedons]

I don’t have a level of “no” sufficient for Mason Cox

 

[JT_the_Man]

Cox would be on half decent coin and he rarely rucks. Would be much cheaper to get zac smith or tom nicholls as a backup.

I just can’t see why we‘d recruit him to play forward. Makes zero sense to me.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Why don't we just get Jenkins? Seriously. He would cost us very little and, even though he's a cherry picker of the highest order, he can at least compete and is better than anything else we're likely to get.

Mason Cox? Good God.

 

[Zach Package]

Clarke is a better ruckman than Cox, Cox doesnt ruck a lot and when he does he doesn’t look that grear

 

[JayJ20]

We could do with some cherry pickers and downhill skiers. Might mean we actually beat GC by a decent margin.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Surely we are taking the piss if we are looking at Cox?

Can it get any worse? If we re rookie Jake Long then I'm done.

 

[Beerfish]

Please let us rookie Jake Long.

 

[Stopher]

Cox replacing Clarke would improve the ruck accuracy for goal by about 10 million %.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

The Essendon clan has 'circled the wagons' in attacking Daniher - BJ, Lloyd and even Uncle Terry - Just as well JD is overseas.

that's the opposite of circling the wagons, mate

 

[JT_the_Man]

Please let us rookie Jake Long.

Some people just want to see the world burn.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Hypothetical of course;

Sydney out: Pick 5, Pick 25
Sydney In: Joe Daniher, 2020 second rounder

Essendon out: Joe Daniher, 2020 second rounder
Essendon in: Pick 12, Pick 18

GWS out: Pick 12, Pick 18
GWS in: Pick 5, Pick 25

Obviously rates Joe at roughly pick 3 or two mid - high first round picks but some people don't want Essendon to recieve this. Gives GWS the points/picks to match academy prospect Tom Greene bid early whilst Sydney get there man and are able to keep the likely pick 9 they recieve from the Tom Papley deal. The 2020 second rounder is the sweetener that gives Sydney points for the two high end academy kids they have coming through next year.

I dunno, was just playing around with the picks etc after Pure_Ownage suggested the Giants would want an early pick for a likely Green bid. Perhaps pick 9 instead of pick 12 coming to us but it was something to think about and a very real possibility.

out: Daniher, 2020 second rounder
in: Melksham, Laverde

Yeah nah

 

[Haychh]

How about we take this Cox news for what it is. A complete media beatup.

No trades getting done has them clutching at straws for news.

It was probably us just gauging what he would cost on the off chance we could get him super cheap. Collingwood probably want a 2nd and we probably said no thanks.

Everyone relax

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Why is everyone saying cox to replace daniher when he would clearly be a ruck

Dodo said on Monday we are after a midfielder and a Ruckman

 

[JayJ20]

If we’re going for a stop-gap forward/ruck, then Jenkins is the most logical option.

Will cost nothing and can actually play alongside McKernan as a viable forward.

Cox will have a couple of blinders and mope around for the rest of the year.

 

[vast]

I was less embarrassed during the saga.
