2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Hope it's just that. A Rumour. Not a fan. Had to Google him a week or two back to find out who he was.

Just checked his Stats. 28 years old, 55 games since 2014. No idea how many he's missed through injury, but based on that it's a massive NO from me.

He's actually a really smart footballer, and as good a shot for goal as there is in the competition. At VFL level he plays on ball and gets big numbers, at AFL level plays as a small forward.
I'm not necessarily advocating getting him, but trying to colour your perspective more than a google search.
You may recall that he kicked a 50m set shot goal after the siren to beat the swans on a Saturday night. He kicked 35 goals that season.

If we're recasting Wallis as a forward then is there a place for Lloyd?

Perhaps it's just noise but there are suggestions May might jilt the Suns as well.

While everyone's falling over themselves to bait Lynch I wouldn't be averse to us exploring.

Yes, yes, I know we've got key position defenders up the wazoo. But how many good ones do we have?

We've chased May almost every year since he was drafted, why wouldn't we do it again. Hearing 'no' doesn't stop us from going again any other time.

More seriously, say Young does find his way to Adelaide, Morris retires and Roberts is delisted with question marks on Collins if he stays (and the Hawthorn rumours are false) and with Roughead going, Trengove takes the ruck/forward spot. We'd have Adams (lots of injuries), Naughton (inexperienced) & Cordy (not a gorilla taking type) with Wood as the interceptor (unlucky hammies). Chasing May might be worth it again. Moreso if the GCS throw the house at Wallis (such that he can't say no - his manager confirms they're interested in him) for leadership and a needed player type, but we threaten to match the offer and demand a trade that includes May. But without a player demanding to go there, I've no idea how we'd satisfy a trade. And hopefully Wally signs ASAP.

I have asked Bullies where he read this rumour and he didn't reply so I assume he din't read it or heard it anywhere except on WOOF. Are you just repeating what you read on WOOF BT?

Bullies I think said Young wanted to Adelaide, and I've not heard that on here or generally. What has been floating around here and if memory serves my correct, was mentioned in a news article, is that Adeliade are into Young, but he's a contracted player so it means absolutely nothing unless there's something in it for the club above and beyond a talented KPP we have contracted. Lots of clubs are into lots of players, but he's contracted.

I haven't read anywhere bout Crows interested in Young so just interested in the link from anyone who read it.

Hah! We should be able to turn that little situation into a third round pick at least.

I've just spent 15 minutes going through the site looking for it. But I'm giving up. In all though, Adelaide would be extremely neglectful not talking to his manager, they need a player like Young, a kid who probably wouldn't leave SA again and he hasn't cracked a game all year with us. Whether he leaves or whether he has told his manager to tell them 'no', who knows. But I'd be staggered in the Crows list manager if they didn't reach out to his manager at a minimum.

Maybe the reason Young isn’t playing is because he’s told the club he wants a trade back to SA ?

You’re now Barrett’s ‘club source’ for this certain trade in his doors thing tomorrow!

They would be fattening him up by playing him there a great deal to be had. I thinks its all just highly speculative that are interested in him. Id prefer to keep him.

Especially if another club is interested.
