Trade Day 1 Summary
Not a big day of movement, and reluctance on Geelong’s part could see them lose out again in their chase of Lions Key Forward Daniel Bradshaw. The Lions are reportedly willing to part with their spearhead in exchange for James Kelly, a player who had limited impact in 2006.
This suggests one of two things from the Cats hierarchy; either they rate James Kelly extremely highly, or believe they can land one of the promising talls with their first pick of the draft.
Securing Bradshaw would you would surmise mean that we must use our first pick on a quality midfielder. Perhaps the Cats believe one of Thorp, Gumbleton or Sellar will be around and they want to keep their options open come draft day. Perhaps they just believe they can get Bradshaw for a cheaper price.
Tim Callan could become a Saint before the week is out, not sure what the Cats would see as adequate compensation seeing as they don’t rate him high enough to play in the seniors. I’m sure their rating of him will go up when it comes to getting something in return. A pick inside the top 40’s would be a good return.
No one seems keen on Kent, but then why would you when you could pick him up for nothing in the Pre-season draft. Not sure if the Cats will care too much as it may make the delisting process easier should they trade deadwood like Gardiner and McCarthy who have also been shopped around with little success.
That is it for day one, hopefully more news at the end of day two!
