If J.J. decides to leave how do we deal
At the start of the year i never considered it a possibility he was going to leave. As the year progresses i am less certain.
Should it come to pass that other offers are too attractive for him to pass up, how do we progress so that we get a fair outcome? What is a fair outcome?
He has a skill set that is hard to replace and one that should be highly valued to any suitors.
What leverage do we have to ensure we don't end up over a barrel like we were with Hamling's trade?
If push comes to shove and we are offered a poor deal by say a mid to high ladder finishing West Coast or even Freo, would be put pressure on all parties by threatening to let him go in the preseason draft?
As a reigning Norm Smith medallist and in his footballing prime he surely must be worth a top ten pick at the very least.
The problem is a top ten pick still doesn't compensate us for what we lose in terms of his importance to us on the field.
Interested in how folks here would frame a deal.
Re: If J.J. decides to leave how do we deal
I'm pretty confident he's staying, despite him having a manager who appears out of his depth.
That said, I'd target a very good player in a straight swap (plus a pick if it's a good, but lesser player) on their list or target another good player elsewhere (ie Josh Kelly) and look for a three way trade.

First rounder and Duggan/Crozier
Re: If J.J. decides to leave how do we deal
I'd be targeting Zac Jones in a three way trade.
He is as quick as JJ, and breaks the lines in a similar fashion. Good kick, powerful build and tough, and unlike JJ plays more midfield which suits us as ours is a touch slow.
I'd imagine from our pov it would effectively be JJ for Jones, I don't think there is enough of a difference in value to require draft picks.
Re: If J.J. decides to leave how do we deal
Jones is not as explosive I don't think. Both attacking but I think you'd need to weigh up JJ's goal kicking ability over Jones' hardness.

Keep hearing Essendon are the main suitor at this stage - how about Hooker and their 1st round draft pick?

Jones is pretty explosive. I don't think he'd be much different to jjs pace. He has also kicked 5 goals this year. He isn't like for like but he would be a good get and would bring similiar things to the team.

Hooker is on $800k per year for five years. Are you happy for us to pick this up? I'm not.

Where are the Bombers getting all of this coin from? Aren't they about to sign Daniher to a $2m deal?...and we all have suspicions as to how much Hurley cost
Re: If J.J. decides to leave how do we deal
Is 'kick the dog' an acceptable answer?
*apologies to dogs everywhere*
I don't even want to fathom this. He's one of us. Pay the lad. Sign the lad!

Would consider Jones and a second round draft pick. You're comparing a Jones with a Norm Smith medallist FFS.

$2M over 3 years for Daniher. Given the new salary cap....he's signed on for a bargain for Essendon.

If West Coast, I'd like to include Tom Barrass in the discussion.

Agree, 'Pay zat man heez monay'.
Re: If J.J. decides to leave how do we deal
We can't just pay every player what they want.
