The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016

Stevens and Roughead. If Hrovat comes in and plays well it may lift his profile. Go...

[jeemak]

Got to name names J-Man...

I didn't frame that properly, as I think it's more likely we'll part with draft picks (including future picks) over players, which I know will annoy you.

But I wouldn't discount a Wallis, Picken or Stevens being offered up to get us something good.

[Murphy'sLore]

I've heard that an even bigger name than that has been discussed. Pure hearsay though.

Go on.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have bigger trades than Honeychurch, Hrovat and Roughead on our minds.

It's abundantly clear, even if and when we are uninjured, we're going to need more KPF and KPD depth very soon (1-2 years). Apart from Dad I don't see that in any players that haven't been tried in those areas already.

That means we're going to have to part with something more significant than the three mentioned above, unless we part with high draft picks.

Get ready for it.

Haven't posted here for a long while but I've got to say these comments intrigued me.

The advent of free agency means there are KP players available for no trade cost every year, so I'm not sure your premise that we have to trade for players holds up.

Furthermore, it surprises me to see anyone suggesting Wallis, Picken or Stevens being traded. Three of our best character players. Three of our better players. Its rare for these types of players to be traded at all IMO. And I'd consider it highly unlikely any of the players you've mentioned go anywhere - even if we did trade for a KP.

Just my opinion.

[jeemak]

In order to secure decent KPP via the free agent mechanism there has to be decent free agents in that category available. Which ones do you have in mind?

I'm not suggesting we trade those three, I'm suggesting I'm prepared for the advent of it happening.

[LostDoggy]

I didn't have anyone in mind specifically but Hurley (effectively), Watts, Mitch and Nathan Brown, and Vickery are all FAs this year. Any of them would make our list better IMO (some more than others ).

[jeemak]

I'd be happy with any of the five you've mentioned.

[comrade]

Only Hurley and...god, I can't believe I'm saying this...Watts interest me from that group.

I think Bevo would utilise Watts correctly, and he's a ripping kick for goal.

[LostDoggy]

Vickery!?
A big HELL NO!!!

[Dancin' Douggy]

If we trade Wallis we are absolutely and truly insane. INSANE!!!!

[Dancin' Douggy]

Vickery!?
A big HELL NO!!!

Oh for gods sake vickery. Please refer to 'talls of shame file'

[1eyedog]

No to Vikery and the Browns. They won't improve us at all. Vikery is Jack Redpath in terms of output and the Browns are Michael Talia's.

[Remi Moses]

Definite no to Vickery . He's a nearly type, as is Griffiths at Richmond .
Mitch Brown is to injury prone, and Nathan Brown is now on the outer at Collingwood.
Watts will get re-signed at Melbourne I'd think .

[Murphy'sLore]

Go on.

Someone with undoubted gifts on-field, but allegedly a history and an off-field problem that the club hasn't been able to address to their satisfaction. I'm pretty sure you can figure out the player.

I don't know how reliable this source is, so approach with caution.
