It could involve another club as either a 3 party deal or as a separate trade but then using that pick as part of the GWS deal.

The options are wider than just which of our players GWS might be interested in

Short is very popular amongst the group.
Culture killer.

It would be a pretty ordinary act by the club to trade Short after committing 5 years to him, Short saying he loves the club and wanted to stay and be part of the next era and then the club turning turtle in less than 12 months.

Don’t think that’s how we operate.

It’s definitely not how we operate. Short or Baker will not be traded.

If any players are traded it’s those who want more opportunity eg George.

George is the one that I feel could be in a bind as he has a guaranteed 2023 at the RFC but his future looks to be very limited at the RFC unless something turns on its head next season for him.

He has been rapidly usurped by a crop of juniors namely Moju, Cumberland and Sonsie. Clarke too will be preferred going forward, then is the wild card in Stack.

Might be in George's long term best interest to try and snag 3 years elsewhere.

With the wind shift at the end of this season and George having juniors preferred to him and him losing his incumbency, I cannot see George getting 2 or 3 more years at the RFC, and it's not often a triple premiership player at George's age would have that said of them.

Martyn is delisted for sure; Aarts might try elsewhere but would be very handy to be kept on as a VFL player if possible.

RCD might be on the table same for Hugo, I could see the GWS possibly looking at one of those two.

Fwiw AFL Tonight reporting that we’ve made a bigger offer to Hopper than Geelong have. No other details but almost a resignation by Zeets that Hopper is also off to Richmond.

It makes sense in a football sense but not a human one.

Tine for the "Its Happening" Ron Paul Gif

While trading a player who doesn't want out isn't our thing, the opportunity to recruit to young gun midfielders, immediately putting us back into the Premiership window, doesn't come around that often.

Disagree on this. He is still in our best 22. While not a success in the midfield he has been good off half back and deeper, and remains our best at kicking in.
Won’t be traded. The possibility will not even be raised.
