Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

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

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Trade period is just about over with still some dominos to fall. But I really want to know one thing;

Understandably we've spent a lot of time dealing with Joe/Sydney - but we are really going to go into another season without trading for a big-bodied midfielder?

No Brodie. No Wines. No Sier. No Greenwood.

What the **** are we doing to address perhaps our most pressing need?

Yeah I’m getting a bit concerned tbh. Dodoro’s view is that our list is entering the premiership window. There’s no window without improving our midfield.

Hopefully we’re having some conversations in the background.

I'd like to think so, but geez. I'm getting a bit worried. If we don't trade for any midfielders but keep Daniher; this would still be a failure of a period for mine.

Reckon Bombers are too accepting of guys that have average to poor disposal skills. Would be nice to get some silk in that department. Don’t reckon we will ever threaten until we get that.

 

[JayJ20]

Also, why aren’t we looking into Jenkins? Reportedly willing to play for 200K. Adelaide reporting no club has approached them. If Daniher is leaving, it makes a lot of sense. Can’t rely on Smack and Brown only.

If daniher isn't leaving .....do we need Jenkins?

Perhaps they are confident of an outcome.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

No Brodie. No Wines. No Sier. No Greenwood.

Three of those guys were/are unavailable.

No we don’t, but if he does leave...

EDIT: and Jenkins is much better than Brown any way.

 

[MarkG]

Reckon Browns major issue is soundness. Limped off early in final after starting well. McKernan’s issue is consistency.

Jenkins is completely sound, has a big tank and consistent.

 

[Mercurial89]

Daniher’s swans window closing. No way he’ll go through this circus again next year, unless there’s a T Kelly like treasure chest forthcoming in the next 48hrs.

I still think it gets done, not that I want it to.

Media has been pretty reasonable for us on this trade. I'd assume we may get a mental health type article in the next 2 days to put a bit of pressure back the other way in the court of public opinion.

There's simply little to no one available that can fix our midfield next year

Devon Smith is as much of the answer as anyone on the trade table

SPP was the best bet

Doesn't have to be them specifically although it's definitely been left too late. I'm sure GC would've parted with Brodie if an offer were presented to them earlier. There are plenty of them in the league. Going into another season without one is poor list management if you ask me.

Devon Smith is not the answer at all. He's a small flanker. Bit of mongrel about him sure. But he's no Wines/Brodie aka a player we need inside.

Nothing going to happen til Wednesday, it’s like being given a school assignment several weeks before it’s due and starting it the night before it’s due.

Certainty to get done then

That's what it looks like to me

This is awesome. No way Joe goes there next year after this. They have fumbled their chance. Pretty lucky they’ve attempted it this year, if they’d made the play next year as a free agent we’d be in trouble.

 

[Del28562]

I dont understand why the bombers wouldnt entertain taking 5 an 9 for daniher. It allows them to inject 2 quality players on their list, where they havent had first rounders for a while.

You can get jenkins cheap 3rd or 4th round pick, whose output for a year should be 25-50 goals with the ability to play substantial time in the ruck, which is one of the bombers weaknesses.

Dodoro could even be brave and try send 5, 9 and heppell for 1 and 2. I dont see a spot for heppell next year, hes not quick enough for the wing, not big enough for on ball and players like parish have gone past him. You could be brave like clarko was with lewis a couple of years ago.

You could use one of the picks in the 30s for the young gws mid and i would think the bombers would still be strong shot at top 4 even with trading joey and heppell

Smith is half the answer - manic pressure on the oppo midfield.

Not so useful when one out in a marking contest against Fyfe or smashing Bontempelli out of the road en route to a clearance.

Hmmn. So maybe that’s only one third of the answer.

You are assuming 5 and 9 has been.offered? They don't even own 9 Yet

They've offered 5 + 25. Not 5 + 9.

Heppell could easily go to half back and be the best in the competition. Did it in the final and racked up 30 touches in his best performance of the year. Problem is he's still great inside, just not as great as others leading inside players. Also he has been AA as mid so I think judging his year as a true representation of his football when he carried significant injury is unfair.

Daniher, Heppell out
Rowell, Anderson, Jenkins in

Interesting thought.

 

[Del28562]

They will end up with 9 for papely, that is the only way they have a chance with daniher

They've offered 5 + 25. Not 5 + 9.
