Would you take him, maybe he can become another Ray or will he just be a waste of time? discuss.

[SENsei]

Would I take him?

No.

Hang on that was too hasty.

<thinks>

<millisecond>

No.

[plugger66]

Yes for sure.

[Saints94]

Yes for sure.

Why or are you just being smart?.........

[SENsei]

Yes for sure.

He's just being Mr Contrary with sarcastic overtones!!

Denham stuck to his guns with this this morning on radio. Not saying it's right,but he is right more often that not. He said it will be the first trade done in trade week.

We'll see

Who do you see getting traded in trade week?

[reincarnated]

Yes for sure.

Plugger is smart. The difference between picking up McMahon as opposed to Ray or Dempster or the Schniederman is age and ability to do one thing really, really well

Ray could always run, Schnieder was always a clever forward. McMahon offers what exactly apart from being 26+ with limited awareness, poor disposal (despite mainstream media saying otherwise) and not too quick

So despite looking like a young child he doesnt have one great strength we could use to better our squad

Draft pick probably. Howver I wouldn't know.
I don't rate McMahon at all....having said that I didn't rate Ray either

[SainterK]

If we didn't need to give up much, and someone in our coaching staff has a connection and feels they can get something out of him....I wouldn't be strongly opposed to the idea.

I really want to trade L.Fisher for a draft pick or a decent player back.

Swap for 4th round picks and the Tigers pay 3/4 of the final year of his deal

Essentially we get a seasoned player without having to shell out too much who would be a Leigh Brown type replacement. Not even close to giving us a good show but a good quarter here and there and a target hit could be okay if circumstances provided

Do you think there are any other players we should target in trade week anyone?

[ausfatcat]

wouldn't get a game.. Isn't of age to develop, why bother?


And there a thread from yesterday on this

[Armoooo]

Don't rate him.

Didn't rate Ray.

If we are going to be giving up a pick we would have passed on anyway I'd be happy to back the team's judgement.

But assuming we are planning on getting him for depth what would be the odds of him getting a game, he'd be behind Goddard, Gram, Fisher, Gilbert, Geary, Ray, Baker etc. he'd only get a game in the most dire of circumstances...

Steven Salopek would be number one on my list. Brett Ebert wouldn't be far behind.

[Saints94]

Anyone interested in Drum from Freo or Seaby from the Eagles?

Major fan of Salopek regardless of the childhood ties. Ebert not so much - he would be criticised on this forum from the get go playing with roo and kosi and not kicking bags re gwilt

Say if we were interested what should/would we give up for them?

Anyone interested in Drum from Freo or Seaby from the Eagles?

Drum has shown nothing in a team that is re-building and giving seemingly everyone who is recently drafted to play sneior football. Whilst Drum has had a few games he has shown bugger all

No to Seaby although fast forward a year and the decision could be a good one if King retires. We would then have a quality mature ruck, ample middle aged back up and a young developing ruckman

[Armoooo]

Anyone interested in Drum from Freo or Seaby from the Eagles?

Drum - No, absolute dud.

Seaby - Would have been last year, not anymore, IMO McEvoy has probably already overtaken him and if not, he certainly would have by next year. Wouldn't be able to get a game ahead of Gardiner/ King either.

He will go to a club where he can be number one ruckman, maybe somewhere like Melbourne...

[plugger66]

I'd be going for someone like jones or even johnson.

Lol, I don't know why I'm bothering to ask but which Jones and which Johnson?

Salopek is a quality player and everyone has poor years whether through injury or poor form. Considering our first pick will be late in a shallow draft we would want to attempt to hold onto it unless a great deal comes from another club in desperation for say Maguire - Hawks

If the club found a way to get to first rounders somehow then and only then should we chase someone of quality as we could/should still have a first round/kind of high pick left to draft a decent kid

[Saints94]

Drum kicked 4 goals against the Crows in Adelaide in 2007 191 cm utility comes from Congupna 5 mins out from Shep, I say worth a look and with Seaby can go forward and kick the 3 or 4 goals a game.
