Offseason Trades

[GoLions]

Carlton won't trade Menzel unless you give up a lot!
Is Kerridige actually that good?

Also with Seedsman and Hampton signing won't you have like 6 half backs that all should be playing at AFL level?

Yeah, Menzel is pipe dream more than anything. I don't think anyone expects to grab him this year, we'll just wait til he's out of contract ;)

With The Seed and Hampton coming in it changes to team around a bit. I'm guessing the 6 half backs are Smith, Laird, Henderson, Jaensch, Seed and Hampton? I think the idea is too rotate Hampton, Seed and Smith around HB and the wing with Hendo in the SANFL as depth and Jaensch still recovering.

This is how I see our 22 at the moment with Seedsman and Hampton included.

B:Brown, Talia, Lever
HB: Laird, Hartigan, Hendo
C: Smith, Thompson, Knight DANGERFIELD
HF: Douglas, Walker, Lynch
FF: Betts, Jenkins, Cameron
R: Jacobs, Sloane, B.Crouch
I/C: Hampton/Seedsman/Cheney, M.Crouch, CEY, Grigg/Gore/Atkins

That looks better ;)

Hahaha we'll see ;)

What about that?

Gains
Hampton, Seedsman, Gore and Menzel

Picks #9 and #13

Losses
Sook Dangerfield, Sam Kerridge

With two of Bonner, Milera, Ah Chee, Burton and four young recruits, team is set to build for sustained success built around the spine of Sauce, Talia, Lever, Walker, Crouch and Sloane 8)

In all and mainly thanks to landing Menzel who I rate, Tbag is extremely happy with the crows workings! Extatic really!

I've really liked our moves too! :D

Very, very happy with the trade period but we might not be completely finished.

We currently have 6 players out and Wright looks like a certainty to join that list making it 7 with 4 coming in, so we have 3 spots on the main list. I believe we are intending on upgrading Kelly & O'Brien to the senior list and obviously using 9 & 13 in the draft, so we need to find one more spot. Unless we are only going to upgrade one of Kelly or O'Brien then this all means nothing but if we want to do both we might be looking to offload a contracted player in a trade somewhere maybe for a pick next year.

Another thing you should love Tbag is Hampton, Gore and Menzel were all Crows supporters as kids as well.

I think we'll be looking at Milera and McKay in the draft like Pk has us doing the draft thread.

Think we've done well injected some pace into the team which I think was/is sorely lacking. Most of those guys can use the ball pretty well which also hurt us a bit in 2015. All in all if Gore and Menzel can remain healthy I give us a 7-7.5/10 with room to improve if we can land a couple of good kids in the November draft. Would also like to see Milera picked up, Francis would be the other but hard to see him still there at #9 really. Miracles do happen though lol.
