Would we trade ARMITAGE for ADCOCK?

If the rumours are true about ADCOCK wanting to return to Victoria then such a trade would work for both clubs. ARMITAGE is a QLD boy having had a fair amount of involvement with the LIONS, hence I think they would be very interested. ARMITAGE was a first round selection which would be the asking price for ADCOCK you would think.

Such a trade may also path the way for a further trade involving WOODS?

armitage is not tradeable, players have to be on a playing list for 2 years before they can be traded by afl law.

really? if your talking about his Afl games, you have obviously watched different games to me. He wasn't ready, needs a big pre-seasona nd hopefully cements a spot in the top 22 this season as has happened with gilbert this year.

Adcock and Wood, is that a firm rumour?

I am not saying he set the world on fire hes a kid, but as i said the limited anount of what i saw still made me tick the boxs hopely for a future with the saints

wildgoose · Post: # 470266Post **wildgoose** » Fri 05 Oct 2007 12:35pm

He has been here for a year, and you want him traded, haha. Armitage could play 200 + games for all we know. I wouldn't be trading him yet.

Eastern · Post: # 470269Post **Eastern** » Fri 05 Oct 2007 12:40pm

Lets draw some comparisons:

Armitage .........Montagna

Joey spent 3 years developing where he didn't exactly set the world on fire. Would you trade him now? I think not.

Armitage would still be on a very steep learning curve for at least another 1-2 years. I wouldn't be expecting too much out of him until 2009 !!

I'm pretty sure anyone can be traded as long as all 3 parties agree to it (the player and both clubs involved)

Dan Warna · Post: # 470271Post **Dan Warna** » Fri 05 Oct 2007 12:43pm

concur on monty.

till 2007 about 1/2 of the forum would have grabbed a second round pick for him

adcock is fantastic though and probably behiind judd the best thing on the market atm.

i would think to get him would cost a first round pick.

It not that I want him to go Wild Goose, I just think that ADCOCK is a bit more advanced and exactly what we need. Hard at it onballer with pace who can break the lines.

ARMITAGE may become that player but I bet he will always be looking to return to QLD...why not have two players settled at their clubs for the long haul...

Beej · Post: # 470276Post **Beej** » Fri 05 Oct 2007 12:53pm

Adcock was on the brink of the All Australian side so I think they'd probably be after more than just Armitage if they were forced to trade.

Very good player is Adcock, I remember watching him as a kid playing alongside Brad Dick from the Pies and Andrew Swallow from the Kangas. Pretty handy midfield line as it were.

Swallow Dick Adcock

Yes.

Can't be delisted though.....or at least not without fully paying the player out.

Adcock signed on at Brisbane last week.

DK27 · Post: # 470282Post **DK27** » Fri 05 Oct 2007 1:02pm

You can trade Armitage.
I think it is a fair trade. Adcock is a very good running defender with proven form. Armitage has potential to be a good midfielder but also could be a dud. Fair trade for Brisbane and StKilda.

mad saint guy · Fri 05 Oct 2007 1:50pm

ANY player can be traded if both clubs and the player agree.

Would definitely trade Armitage for Adcock, but that would only happen if he wanted out of Brisbane, so he wouldn't have just signed a new contract if hw wanted to leave.

Good player for potential to be a good player. Lopsided.

Would need a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick to even make brisbane consider it.

Brisbane would want more than Armitage, They would want at least a 2nd rounder aswell. Thatys if it were to happen, which i think is unlikely.

Would we trade for ADCOCK?
