It's amazing that fringe list cloggers somehow garner currency in trade week.
Brock McLean looks to slow for suburban football, Bate couldn't get a game in an ordinary team,they even let Miller go who plays that role and Bate still couldn't get a gig!!
Paul Bower is Craig Ellis post 1997( uncoordinated)
I'd like to see us just use the draft and if we're going to do some trading bring in those 17 y/o GWS listed players. Marcus Drum aside just look an hour up the road for a template.

McClean was being touted as the Luke Ball of 2011 for a while there.

Ha! Thanks for the morning laugh! Was it Carlton supporters preaching this?

Re: Trade talk: club-by-club analysis

All well and good if a fringe player at another club that could do a role for us costs us only a 3rd rounder. Call me cynical I don't see that happening. We got screwed last year, nothing will change this year if we go down the same path.

That a fair enough. I do agree that if we picked up a player from another club with our 3rd pick, we want to make sure he will become a permanent fixture to our side.

Permanent fixtures like last year trades Vez and Dj?

Vez could yet be a good pickup, next season is do or die for him.
DJ.....well I will reserve judgement.

Re: Trade talk: club-by-club analysis

Interesting wasn't it,

Ross Lyon found a way to use Ray in a far more constructive way, where he largely got the ball and handballed to guys behind him who set up the play. They rarely used him as a creative wingman.

He'd certainly come back a better player

Depends on the price and what he wants in salary

Will Toovey actually leave? - some heavy posturing on both sides it seems

Disagree. He would be coming back exactly the same player and would be completely pointless with us.

What did we give up for them? DJ IIRC was a third rounder which was a complete and utter waste and everyone here said it at the time.

McCaffer would not be a waste. Good age and a good player, would slot straight in.

There is a difference between trading for duds and trading for fringe players who are actually pretty good.

Josh Hill's manager says Josh happy to goto West Coast

Their picks include 45,67. Could we take 45? I'd see them pushing for 67 or later.

Anyone be happy with that?

if they offered 45 we should take it and send them a nice Christmas card.

True. Don't think Hawks budged on late 30s pick last year. 1 Year on #45 would be a Godsend

Re: Trade talk: club-by-club analysis

If we miraculously get 45 from WCE, Would that be enough to snare Macaffer? Guilt-free trade if true.
