Glen Quartermain: How the Fremantle Dockers get Tim Kelly trade deal done
Where do these idiots come from? Glen Quartermain takes the cake here...
In the article he wants us to give Brad Hill to St.Kilda for their pick 5. St.Kilda then give Stevens to Geelong.
Then we give picks 5 & 6 to Geelong or pick 5 plus Sean Darcy for Kelly, pick 18 and Sam Menegola.
So effectively we lose Brad Hill and our first round pick for Kelly and pick 18 plus an injury prone player.
or we lose Brad Hill, our first round pick and Sean Darcy for Kelly and pick 18 plus an injury prone player.
WTF!!!!
How come an out of contract player like Kelly is worth more than Brad Hill who has 2 years left on his contract?
In this scenario I think we are getting screwed royally and Glen Quartermain is a complete idiot.
Here's an excerpt from the article;
"So here is how the Dockers can “act in the best interest” of their stakeholders.
Hill is traded to St Kilda and the Saints’ first pick, No. 5, heads to Freo.
Steven is released to Geelong.
The Dockers then trade either picks five and six (their first) to Geelong for Kelly — or pick five and young ruckman Sean Darcy, who the Cats are into like scalpers on a finals ticket to help solve their dearth of ruck stocks. It is an area that could well cost them this year’s flag.
The Cats also send their first pick, currently 18, to Freo along with one last piece of the jigsaw — bullocking midfielder Sam Menegola.
WA’s Menegola has been squeezed out of the Geelong side after a long injury lay-off mid-season. It would be a remarkable return for Menegola, who the Dockers de-listed in 2014 — as did Hawthorn three years earlier.
Darcy, who Fremantle acquired with pick 38 in the 2016 national draft, re-signed with the Dockers for two years ahead of this season, but there may be merit in the move. He hails from Cobden in Victoria’s western districts, so would be returning home."
