Bellchambers and GWS

[kilbluff1985]

Damo reckons GWS are set to offer Bellchambers 420k per year, 4 year deal

He not a free agent though so still have to work out a trade right?

[Vinny]

Yeah some sort of trade will have to be organised.

Heard this couple weeks back on The Footy Show. Wonder what will happen from here :P

[AFEV]

Could easily walk Ball style though so we have to be careful.

[Ziplock]

what would you take for him?

he isn't worth pick 1, and you guys mightn't have any picks to add to it.

Pick 19?

like, if he walks, we're guaranteed to get him afterall...

[kilbluff1985]

i dunno Adams wants to come back to Victoria doesnt he?

[AFEV]

i dunno Adams wants to come back to Victoria doesnt he?

Doubt Bellchambers is worth Adams...

Do you think WHE would be available Zip? We need a player of his sort.

[kilbluff1985]

they can have Jetta to lol

[Ziplock]

i dunno Adams wants to come back to Victoria doesnt he?

adams hasn't signed yet, but I dunno if that means he wants to go back to victoria- he's probably just trying to play the game and get as much out of his contract as he can.

and I really doubt WHE is going to be an option, I think we're pretty keen to keep him, and he's re-signed, so I assume he wants to stay as well.

they can have Jetta to lol

I... don't think we'd want to waste the list spot... :P

I honestly think we'll try to retain our players, and deal in the picks we have this year. Only adams and haynes are out of contract from our youngsters from memory.

I feel if we're making a serious play for him, we'd probably offer what I assume will be pick 19- unless one of our players really, really want to go home. If you guys knock it back, we'd just take him in the PSD :/ 

[AFEV]

Or, y'know, he could be pulling an Adams and just be hunting more money from the Dons. :P

How far would Bellchambers + Our first round pick get us? Assuming we do keep it that is.

[Ziplock]

that's the issue, I dont think you'll keep it

atm though, it's what, pick 16? that's 3 picks below our 2nd round pick :/

If you offered something like

bellchambers + a young back/forward + pick 15 + an older player you might be able to get pick 1 I guess.

luke darcy reckons carlton should trade their first round pick + yarran + kreuzer for it though :P

I dunno, I guess we'll see. As you said, bellchambers could just be playing the field :P

[silloc]

if he had to leave, i'd be happy with a straight swap for Adams. we'd need to force hille on for another year but, and maybe get sikora on the rookie list.

[Hawka]

Surely Essendon will lose Gumby or Bellchambers
And i have said this before and will say it again
Gumby is your best forward but Daniher will overtake him soon , But still Gumby >Cram >Hurley

[Nige]

With the likes of GWS and the Dogs circling, it's almost certain that one of Belly, Stewy and/or Gumby are going.

[silloc]

if it were me it'd be crameri. gumbo/daniher will have been getting a lot of practise with each other
And Hurley is our best forward if he'd play a full season

[kilbluff1985]

Yeah Hurley is our best on talent alone just needs a full season to live up to his potential
