Versatile Andrejs Everitt almost certain to change clubs

[bulldogtragic]

A major let down and in all honesty I can see him and Hill fighting for the same position next year.

And should Hill win that battle, Everitt is worth sweet F&%K all next year. Sometimes you win with trades and sometimes you lose, it's like buying and selling shares when you 'think' it's optimum value is reached unless it's a blue chip (Everitt ain't a blue chipper). And of the two i think Hill is the more important too.

I agree and now is looking like the perfect time to sell.

He's a contracted player so we hold all the aces and to be honest I'm against trading out such a (potentially) quality player for a risky unknown.

i think we need to keep him but actually give him a proper chance rather than bringing him in for a few games here and there. the fact that he doesn't seem to have a permanent position has probably contributed to his up and down performances. i say we use him as a lead up forward like bobby. he has the speed, seems ok overhead and unlike the rest of our forward line, actually has some height.

as for the whole trading with carlton deal, i don't really see the point. there's no point getting a second round pick for him since the draft is supposed to be pretty shallow, and the only player they have that we would need is fev, but we all know that aint gonna happen.

What are the chances of the following three way between Port, Hawthorn and us. (Salery cap aside):

Basically pick 8, 9 and 15 and players Roughead, Burgoyne and Everitt change hands, resulting in:

1. Everitt to Port for pick 8
2. Picks 8 and 15 to Hawks for Roughead
3. Hawks on-trade Pick 9 and 15 to Port for Burgoyne.

Hawks: Pick 8 and Burgoyne.

Port: Picks 9 and 15 and Everitt

WB: Roughead

I would do that in a heartbeat.

that deal will never happen. hawthorn would never give up roughead. the whole point of hawthorn trading so aggresively is to help them win another flag, and for that roughead is crucial. it would be a nice family reunion though.

Not bad at all. Can't see Everitt going that high. Can't see Pelchan agreeing either. But a good effort.

Perhaps Everitt to St Kilda/Melbourne for pick 17 or 18 is more realistic.

Dogs trade: 15, 17/18 and 32 to Hawks for Roughy.

Hawks trade: 15 and 26 to Port for SB.

Hawks lose Roughy for two 1st rounders and a second rounder (decent compensation). Traded into SB (1st and their 2nd rounders) and pick 17/18 and 32. Leaving them 9, 17, 32 and SB.

Still far fetched...

why the hell would we trade OUT a promising tall player? WHY??????????

The only reason would be if the player doesn't want to be there. I'm not sure if this is the case but it would be strange for us to actively shop him around.

Sorry if I'm not following something but....

How the hell did the Everitt rumour start anyhow???

Does he want to be at the WO or not?

I dont think he should go, and if he doesnt we need to get a decent established player ie Roughead (that wont happen unfortunately)

The first I heard about it was in the papers.

I think he should stay as well but if he wants to go why keep him?

Even stranger that he signed a multi year deal about a month ago.

Something has gone down in the last few weeks, but thankfully we've got him stitched up and have some leverage in any trade dealings.

[LostDoggy]

I don't understand. Everyone in the media says he is now a 'certainty' to be leaving but there is still no real quotes from Eade, Fantasia, Everitt or his manager stating he is looking to leave.

Totally agree, i am waiting for one of these things to occur.

[Keepa Movin' Griff]

To trade Everitt seems ridiculous, they need to give him game time! As already mentioned this years draft is weak at best after 10, so we're only going to get a speculative for him anyway. Against Collingwood in Round 22 i really liked some of the things he did, he was backing himself which is half the battle, he looks an ideal replacement for Eagleton on the wing IMO.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Wasn't Everitt's draft a "super draft?"

If so, pretty disappointing if we end up trading Everitt for a pick in an average draft.
