I would swap CCJ for Laird no problems.

Where do I sign?

Laird is a star.

Plenty of Lairds out there but not many great big blokes.  Not that he is great yet but could be.  Future captain.
There certainly isn’t many Rory Lairds out there and you are kidding yourself if you think there are.
In saying that you probably think Houli is in the same class so there probably isn’t much point going on.
CCJ could be a good player but he could also be Dean Putt Mark2.
Jumping the gun I reckon thinking anything else.

We have Nank at 25 years old, who will be our number 1 ruck for a minimum of 5 more years, and Chol and Bolta who can play that forward/ruck roll with Soldo as back up at 23 years old.

To get someone good you have to give someone good/potentially good

Imagine a back 6 of
Grimes  Astbury  Stack
Vlastuin Rance  Laird

Teams won’t be able to score.

Handbaggers are into Laird apparently... :shh


In other news: Burgoyne just re-signed with Hawks - not going to GC.... :shh :shh

Not sure where your going with the Bachar bashing but he's not going that badly I'd say being All Australian in 2019. 
Everyone's opinion is different I guess which is half the fun of trade speculating.  Still reckon CCJ is a star in the making and wouldn't be trading him.

He is a good player Ramps- and would only get better at a decent club.

Connor Blakely from Freo reportedly open to a trade ...the club has liked him previously... played defence this year after returning from injury but looked far better as a mid late last year.....would do a straight swap for McIntosh if he wants to leave, otherwise would give up one of our two late second round picks that we currently hold... :shh

Essendon reckons it can poach Jeremy Cameron if Daniher leaves  :rollin.

-------------------------------------------------

Fremantle's Connor Blakely could still be available to clubs in eastern states despite signing a three-year deal with the Dockers only months ago.

Victorian clubs have been made aware he could be available for trade as the club’s turbulent off-season continues.
