GWS happy for Adams to go as was Geelong ( varcoe).
So did we also poach Ball Jolly Brown & Malthouse to win 2010?

Sydney Stack could be electric and offers something quite a bit different to our group.
Unfortunately, we stand to get nothing for DeGoey if he leaves and we recruit McStay.Pep wrote:^^^
If JDG and Grundy do leave/get traded, then we need to come out with what the bummers got in the 2020 when they lost Saad and Daniher, 2 top 10 picks at least... to either on-trade for ready made players/replacements, or to draft another gun mid and best KPP prospect.
What I think we need is Full back (could be McStay) and eventual Howe replacement (maybe Dean), and gun mid. So maybe our defence is already sorted?
I think our forward line looks better with Kruger, Henry and Johnson in the line up, they look to be pretty dynamic and have an eye for goal.
We don't know how this trade season plays out, but I think the future is bright either way.
Unless Brisbane agrees to trade McStay rather than accept their compo pick.Boot wrote:^
It could happen but the Cameron scenario was pretty unique in that both clubs wanted him so badly, they were both prepared to pay a premium for his signature. Ultimately, the cats sold the farm to acquire Cameron as a trade and in return GWS would have pulled the matching bid. At least it stuffed up the Cats drafting strategy for a couple years. The best chance for a club to get a return on an upcoming free agent, is to entertain offers on that player one year before free agency kicks in. In that situation, at least the parent club has an amount of control regarding a fair outcome ( ie Dangerfield ) It would also need the player to tell the club, no matter what you do, I don’t plan on being here in 12 months time.Boogie Knights wrote:Isn't deGoey a restricted free agent? We could 'threaten' to match an offer to force a trade... it's worked for a few other teams... GWS/Cameron/Geelong...
You'd be able to get something pretty reasonable back I'd imagine - look at a young player and 1st pick...
