Brisbane are better off trading some nominal pick if they want him. The primary reason is that if they wait until the preseason draft, Hudson will have missed about 6 weeks of preseason. Additionally, it allows them to sort out the rest of their list with something locked in that they can work around.

Something nominal doesn't do a lot for us though. Would we be better served but just letting him into the PSD?

I don't know how. We get a pick that may or may not be of much use but in the process we get a good trading partner in Brisbane and give a player who gave us is all another year at AFL level. I don't think it helps anyone involved to just let him go in the PSD.

With a bit of luck GC might decide that they too want Hudson and we can get a bit of a bidding war going.

How old is he?

He had a great year in 2010, but was quiet/injured this year?

At the right price, I'd consider it.

He's a bits player who only does well in a team that's firing. We have enough bits players.

If we effectively replaced Hill, Reid or Addison with McCaffer then I wouldn't mind.

He's a physical player and a hard worker. All depends on what sort of game plan we have in mind too.

I don't mind him as a player but he is one of the worst kick for goals you have ever seen.

So we trade/delist Addison who's a physical player and hard worker for McCaffer, who's a physical player and hard worker?

I've got nothing against the kid, and anyone who knows me knows I'm a big Addison fan, but neither of them give us anything that makes our team better.

We can't have 40 odd kids on the list.

Personally I don't think Addison isn't up to AFL level. For the talk of his competitiveness, he doesn't bring it very often. McCaffer is an upgrade, from my point of view.

McCaffer > Addison by a long way.

+ macaffer can kick goals

That's not the point I'm making. A tough hardworking player is great. They set good examples and keep other players honest.

McCaffer is probably better than all of our fringe players, but will he make our team better, because that's all I care about.

If we were seriously looking at contention next year and a guy like McCaffer might give us that extra x percent, then maybe it's worth pursuing. But as it is, we've done our share of trading for fringe players, and our record isn't outstanding.

Re: Trade talk: club-by-club analysis

We have been reported to be interested in Farren Ray in the HS.

What would it take? I'd be slightly interested. He's a decent role player, but we wouldn't want him distributing the ball again.

Also, Toovey is on the move from Collingwood. Considering we need defenders - should we look at him, and what would he cost?

**LostDoggy** · 11-10-2011, 07:07 AM

Re: Trade talk: club-by-club analysis

When we even looking at these fringe players? So what if McAffer is better than some of our ones we should delisted. He won't improve the side by much.

I know, lets get Franklin and delist Addison, will that improve it much?
