How many of you would call getting Yarran and Bennell and losing Lennon and our first round pick a win?

 Just putting it out there. I would accept getting Yarran and Bennel and two other players, one a ruck and one more mid, an Aish, Redden, Treloar or another for the loss of our first rounder for this year and next and losing Conca and B Ellis.

I mean what's a fair price seriously?

I accept we are likely to get Yarran, perhaps Choco Williams can weave his magic with this bloke and get him to work harder, put in the required effort and not sook

However, our 2nd round pick + Lennon is far to high IMHO.

2nd round pick only or a player only - nothing more

I agree, I have really warmed to the idea of getting Yarran so much so I can't wait to see him play live round one... :thumbsup

Ok that's a fair trade, and I wouldn't be giving up anymore than that too.

So that leaves us with our round one pick, where does that go, Bennell?

After that where are we left with securing a ruckman and do we need another top line mid or backman and at what cost? We will have a third round pick unless we trade players for a better pick and the players on the trade table would have to be: Conca, B Ellis (I doubt), Lennon (so the rumour goes), Astbury and the lesser likes of Dea.

So when do we go with that lot or will the RFC think Yarran and Bennell is enough?

What if.......
Geelong give there first round pick (pick 9 at this point) to Carlton for Henderson.
Would you take a swap of first round picks 9 for 12 and Lennon for Yarran.
So we'd lose Lennon and pick 12 and gain Pick 9 and Yarran. I'd say that's about as fair as it gets.

But what would you use pick 9 for? Bennell? We won't get that deal anyway bro!

Negative Loui. Had a look at pick 9 vrs pick 12 and over the last 10 years and there is a marginal difference between the 2.

Unless its used to get another quality player like treloar through the doors the answer is no for me

Just putting it out there, a Lennon for Yarran straight swap would see Punt Road burnt to the ground!!!

Yes agree. I really think it's as many have said, Yarran for our round two pick.

So now that's sorted, how do we get Bennell?

Agree wouldn't trade Lennon for Yarran.

Would trade say Morris for Yarran

Or Lennon for Yarran and their 2nd round pick

Exactly,

Carlton thinking they'll snare Lennon and a pick for Yarran is nonsense. Why would we give our first pick with 2 years of world class development who was breaking into a finals side away for a player who's career is hanging by a thread because of the complete stuff up that is their club. Absolutely dreaming
