Other club trade talk
Afl.com.au reporting Crouch is being actively shopped by his manager seeking a 5 X $1,000,000 a year contract. GCS apparently interested, but picks 1 & 2 off the table. Would either club do a straight player swap, Crouch for Lukosius?
Lukosius, a pick 2 player himself. But didn't sign an extension with fellow SA teammate Rankine this year. Both SA clubs said last year they're coming for him after his two year rookie contract. Crouch might be the best offer they can get if he wants back to SA in 12 months.
Grab Crouch, draft Rowell & Anderson with 1 & 2, pick 14 to trade or use, bring in good picks for Martin & Ah Chee and work on signing Ben King long term. There's been worse trade periods.
Or in dream world they could try to keep Lukosius, and while St Kilda is tied up with Brad Hill, offer GCS our pick 13 (with a 2020 drafts points trade on our 2020 first rounder) for Ben King and a good money offer that becomes too much in 2021 with Crouch's wage). They then package picks 13 & 14 up to get Crouch and pick 29. Giving them Crouch, Rowell & Anderson, Pick 29, good picks for Martin & Ah Chee and work on signing Lukosius long term. Then that 2020 draft points trade that exchanges also 2019 pick 42 for that pick 29 (13 pick upgrade) which gets Keath from Adelaide. Remaining picks to Freo for a 2020 second rounder (need to upgrade 84 into the fourth round too boost the points a bit too). They're reportedly interested in Roberts as a free agent, and history of twice coming at Jong. They can have both without a fight if they want them.
In: King (13+), Keath (29), Bruce (31), 2020 second rounders X 2, 1 X third rounder & 1 X fourth rounders
Out: Pick 13, 31, 42, 47, 49, 84, 2020 first rounder & fourth rounder, Jong, Roberts (FA)
GCS from us: Pick 13, Pick 42, 2020 Pick 14 & 68 (estimate), Jong, Roberts (FA) - for - King, Pick 29, 2020 19, 37 & 55 (estimate)
GCS Sequentially: 13, 14, 42, 68 (Jong, Roberts)
Dogs Sequentially: 19, 29, 37, 55 (King)
The latter ones are for balance, it's essentially 13 & 14 with players - for - 19 & 29 with King. Two first rounders with players, for two second rounders with King.
Relax, it's not happening! It's just an exercise.

Re: Other club trade talk
I'd trade Lukosius for Crouch if I were GCS. If they can really afford him.

Not a typo. Tom's giving himself a $899K range to cover his bases

Re: Other club trade talk
North aren’t doing the rest of us a favour with good, not great, players $900,000 a year. Polec and Papley now maybe. But it’s Browne, so it could be what he heard from someone on acid trip in a park.

Is Crouch out of contract?
Why would GC trade him for Lukosius? Cant he just nominate for the PSD (last I checked it still existed) and pick him then?

But how much is Papley worth?
He is probably a $700K player at Sydney so it stands to reason North would need to offer him something to get him. I don't have a problem with the number and have been surprised by all the talk about Papley and Carlton being a fait accompli. He is REALLY good and clearly on an upward trajectory...

No he's contracted for next year.

He would fit into the doggies well.

He's contracted. His manager is actively shopping him around. The last I read GCS was leading the pack, but St Kilda & Geelong were interested too. I think I read he's a free agent next year, so they might get more now. Or they can give him what he wants, 5 years t $1M.

Paul Connors mentioned Josh Jenkins is happy to go to any club for the next opportunity and prepared to take a pay cut.

I would too. He's smarter than I thought. Anything would be better than having a proper job!
A lot of AFL players overlook that fact.

Andrew Jarman (yeah I know) reckons that Geelong are interested.
Hopefully the cats mistakenly believe they can have another crack with Dad's Army next year, will make the inevitable fall all the more spectacular.

Nice slap for Essendon on the way through there from Paddy.

Re: Other club trade talk
I love that Ryder didn't dismiss the idea out of hand and was at least willing to check-in on Windy Hole personally if only to confirm, yep, no way I'm coming back here.
Just a bloke who played 170 games in your colours casually telling you to stick it up your arse.

I hear the receptionist at Whitten Oval is pretty hyped for next season.

I hope so, they are going to have to be at their best to sway Alex Keath to choose us over the ultra excited Saints.

Re: Other club trade talk
And another thing, according to Ryder Essington aren't just bad they're 'shitter than St Kilda' bad.
Who think the Saints will make the eight next year?
Okay I'll stop now but I just want to shoot this stuff into my veins. Onya Bombres.

He averages about 14 games a year because of injury. A late first round pick would be more reasonable and I think they have one around pick 15

I know we can't land anyone worthwhile but North are making us look like a wedding in Tuscany; their name is dirt at the moment.

Tom Browne is a surface feeder. he feeds on the scraps and never dives in deep to get the real story. I agree with Mr Papley

We got the receptionist from West Coast over last pre season. Apparently she can type 90+ words per minute but she's had a bit of trouble with carpal tunnel syndrome so it'll be a couple of months before she's back to her absolute best.
She loves the lovely soft floor in reception though.

Hope she steers clear of the energy drinks.

Re: Other club trade talk
Sounds like Dodoro is going to be busy. Feel sorry for Sydney & Port.
Possible Outs: Daniher (SYD), Fantasia (Port) (arguably their two best forwards)
Possible Ins: Pick/s (SYD), Powell-Pepper & Howard (Port)
Howard is a better defender. What to do with Hurley & Hooker with Francis re-signing? Or chasing Martin again? A bit of work to do to ‘win’ trade week. But if anyone can, they can.

Hope we can get Howard from under their noses.
Is it certain Howard is leaving Port?

Re: Other club trade talk
I don't understand why there's not more being made of Daniher casually requesting out of Windy Hole. A bloody DANIHER.
Yeah he's had a diabolical couple of years with injury but if the trade winds blow true Sydney must be rubbing their hands together.

A 3rd tall? He's contracted and as far as I know he hasn't requested a trade or visited clubs.
Port would need a good trade to let him go

Where has it been confirmed he's requested the trade?

Howard looks to be the key to Essendon letting Fantasia go to Port. I think it's a one club scenario. They'll probably de,no Powell-Pepper and Port's first rounder.

This might take them a decade to get out of if everyone unhappy walks. Which is fine by me. You think they’d have locked in a coach and try to sell a vision to the dwindling player numbers.
