Thread: 2012 trade targets

  1. #1

    2012 trade targets

    I know its a bit early, but with Braddy retiring it frees up a bit of cash and whilst watching the WB v Adelaide game tonight, i keep thinking Rory Sloane would fit in really well with us.

    There would be numerous others throughout the league. Any thoughts?

    He'd fit in really well at Collingwood or Geelong as well.

    They won't let Sloane go. No chance! Great prospect.

    Maybe we could offer over the odds, get him like we got mummy.

    According to the Telegraph today (which supports what I thought) that Bradshaw signed a 3 year contract for 1.2 mill.

    Doesn't that mean that the money carries over into next year so we actually don't gain any financial advantage? The other option is that they pay him over the first two years for which it worked out that for 9 games he received $133,333 per game. Well that works out same over 3 years as well.

    I can see why there is not much incentive to recover.

    for me I am comfortable with LRT playing a bit upfront at FF as long as we have Goodes and Reid playing upfront as much as possible also

    Daniel Menzel I think is an extremely dangerous player and although only 188cm he is very hard to mark up on and lethal with the boot.........which would allow us to have Rohan still being groomed to take over Tags role in the future and Menzel upfront !!! to ad lib style players

    also it is interesting that given we a father son with our first pick........... we are in a great position ie we can give away a high pick because we can still pickup the father son pic in the 30's or 40's ????

    Nope, we'll have to burn our first pick on Tom Michell leaving our first live pick this year in the late 30's, that's where we got Sam Reid!

    I thought all the father/son picks were utilised in the later rounds of the draft.

    I may be wrong but my understanding is that if you nominate them as later picks, other clubs can pick them up with earlier picks.
