'Cats attempt to lure St Kilda's Jack Steven to Geelong' (The Age) 10/09/2018

Geelong’s drive to continually land A-grade stars in the trade period is showing no signs of abating, with the Cats making a play for St Kilda gun Jack Steven.

It comes as Geelong publicly declared on Monday that it was embarking on a “deep analysis” of its list management strategy....by Sam McClure

Geelong can get lost as Jack is very much a required player, and unless they are prepared tp trade Dangerfield they can forget it.
Jack would be foolish as Geelong are nearing the end of their successful period and all their top players are looking cooked.

Anyon beefing further Richo proof??? Takeaway???

Enrico_Misso · Mon 10 Sep 2018 7:33pm

It certainly looks like Duckhead and Chequebook are cooked.
Both failed against Melbourne.
Obviously Kray Brother 2 wants another gun midfielder to join Dangerfield.

Lets say he does request a trade to go back home.
What realistically could they offer us in a fair trade.
For me minimum would be 2 first rounds and one of them around 10.

SemperFidelis · Mon 10 Sep 2018 8:18pm

Can’t see there is any deal good enough to get this done.

And then there’s the fact that WE CANNOT TRADE of the only players it was worth turning up to see this year ... if Stuv goes and Richo stays there’ll be a riot.

SemperFidelis · Mon 10 Sep 2018 8:18pm

Bloody double post

longtimesaint · Mon 10 Sep 2018 8:22pm

We should ask Geelong the availability of Dangerfield and see if they like it!

suss · Post: # 1755938Post **suss** » Mon 10 Sep 2018 8:29pm

I love him but he’s 29 and would net us a first-round pick.

I’d trade him if it becomes an option.

Win/win I reckon.

That would be the last straw for many members.

Tell them they can have him and longer for Dangerfield. See how they like that

DJ Higgins · Mon 10 Sep 2018 8:35pm

He is our best but he is getting on. This and next years first round picks would be tempting

I’d take kelly if he agreed to a long term deal

Kelly wants to go back to WA. He is not going to another Vic Club, let alone the Saints.

According to AFL rules I thought Geelong had used up trading their 1st round drafts for the time being.

So if Steven at his age is worth 2 first rounders what would you value Martin or Kelly at?

spert · Post: # 1755951Post **spert** » Mon 10 Sep 2018 9:11pm

I wouldn't stand in Jacks' way of going to a strong club, and playing in winning teams with possible finals -he is not getting reward for the work he has done with us.

To me atm Steven is contracted so that means 2 first. If out of contract then 1 first.
Being contracted means we have the power.

Rocket · Post: # 1755953Post **Rocket** » Mon 10 Sep 2018 9:27pm

Hosed down by Richardson and Scott on AFL 360. 2 years to go on contract.

Not that, that means a lot

bigred · Post: # 1755954Post **bigred** » Mon 10 Sep 2018 9:30pm

Two first rounders. One of those around 5 and the other mid teens should get it done.

Geelong are in decline with their top players 30 and more.
Unlikely to make finals next year and they are getting desperate to keep topping up.

When does he become a free agent?

At the right price I’d do it. Have to involve first round pick/s

Joffa Burns · Mon 10 Sep 2018 10:06pm

Well if he was to go we’ll take Geelong pick 12 & WC first pick say #17 they give Geelong for Kelly in exchange for 28 YO Steven.
