Trade/FA rumours

[one-eyed]

The Lions want James Aish to go to North Melbourne, most likely as part of a deal for Ryan Bastinac, but Collingwood at this stage remain Aish's preferred destination.

If Aish is to be traded to Collingwood, Brisbane would rather receive a future second round pick, such as the one the Magpies are expected to receive for Nathan Freeman.

I would be telling Carlton it's pick 31 or nothing for Yarran.  Be prepared to walk away from the trade and take our picks to the table.
They already have 1,20,21 so 31 fits in nicely with those.
Sometimes you cant give what you dont have
If we give up pick 12 for him now then we may as well bend over in front of all other clubs and take it.

We're not giving up pick 12 for him. Don't worry.

but if you're arguing we could get a better than pick 12 for Ellis then you also think he's surpassed his potential. 

Nope on the contrary

I don't rate him that highly, just like I don't rate Astbury that highly (hence why a 2nd rounder would have been a steal)

But for reasons that only the AFL industry can explain they (AFL inndustry) rate them highly.... that's why Ellis B could get us a pick in the top 10...

A THREE-club trade is expected to be finalised this afternoon that will result in Zac Smith joining Geelong and North Melbourne ruckman Daniel Currie heading to Gold Coast.

The clubs are working out the finer details of whether one transaction or two is necessary, but the Suns will ship ruckman Smith to Geelong in exchange for picks 49 and 53.

Gold Coast will then on-trade pick 53 to the Kangaroos in exchange for Currie.

Yep amateur hour at its best, and here I've been defending them like an idiot.

I should be ashamed

ruck stocks are all good guys Dan and Blair told us. Hammer, big soldo and ivan nothing to see here

 

[🏅Dooks]

Could have got Dawson Simpson too.

Barr a complete left field unforseen deal, trade period is an overwhelming fail especially if:-

- we cough up 12 for Yarran; or
- we can't get a deal done for Yarran (manufacture a late first warly second rd) except for pick 12.
