Could we pull this off?
What is the chance we could pull a Trent croad/Luke hodge style trade with Gc at seasons end involving Goddard?
It gives us the opportunity to rebuild with quality.
First pick Lachie Whitfield and possibly a Gc listed player in exchange for Goddard.
Thoughts?

Re: Could we pull this off?
This idea seems to ignore one important factor, i.e. that the player needs to agree to be traded.
Now that may not be a problem if GWS offer him millions to move. But if GC are only prepared to offer BJ about the same as us, or any other Melbourne based club, why we he agree to go there? He'd be unlikely to see a flag there in the time he has left in the game.
So unless GC makes him an enormous offer that he wants to accept I think you can forget all about this "plan".

Do you expect him to be a decent player again this season and future seasons, or are you blind to the fact he has been CRAP for a while now?
What happend to the Eagles after they lost Judd?
Did they implode?
Similar to when we lost plugger then played in a GF a few years later.
Oh, and didn't Geelong win a flag the year after Gazza left?
It's not all bad if he goes and we play our cards right......

Re: Could we pull this off?
I've always loved BJ and will be happy if he stays, but his on field performances and body language suggest he isn't enjoying his footy which in turn causes speculation about his future.saintbrat wrote:for goodness sake isn't it enough that the media keep harping - why are supporters

The post is hypothetical suggesting a trade which could be a best possible outcome if he does decide to leave.
God forbid the the harping that would occur if he left as a free agent to perhaps Carlton or freo!
Re: Could we pull this off?
I agree Brat.
Wait till he hits some form again.
Then see how silly the concept of him leaving is.
Even the fact he is one of the few players in the 24-27 bracket, it's just nonense.

Re: Could we pull this off?
GC wouldnt have the cap room GWS will. I also think that is Freo miss cloke look for them to chase him as well.
unfortunately i think he will go.

Re: Could we pull this off?
Why would they give up anything when they can get him for free given he's a free agent and there's no way in hell we can match their offer?
I think it would be better if Beej left as well, but we'd get the compensation picks, not the #1 draft pick.
And even if they had to trade something for him, it wouldn't be that. This place is ridiculous sometimes

Re: Could we pull this off?
coaches votes suggest BJ has been pretty good.
maybe some smarty pants are trying to talk his value down.
so i think gc need him pretty badly. they should throw the kitchen sink at BJ. they dont need any more kids.
so i think it could happen. its not completely crazy.
