Chris Tarrant Trades
Collingwood forward Chris Tarrant could be the major name in a huge AFL trading period. Does he want to go, are Collingwood listening to offers and what teams want him? Former Magpies like Paul Williams, Nick Davis and Mal Michael have benefited from leaving Collingwood so Tarrant has to be considering it. Collingwood are impressed with Rusling and Thomas and they fill some of the spots that Tarrant did. Collingwood have to offer something of value to get value back so Tarrant is probably seen as a trading chip by the Magpies.
It has been reported that West Coast and Sydney are after Tarrant, when Roos was interviewed about Everitt yesterday he also mentioned Tarrant as a player they will talk about. After their win, West Coast have said that Tarrant isn't someone they want, this could just be West Coast hiding their intentions or they feel they don’t need him after winning the Grand Final. Hawthorn have been mentioned and Adelaide are also a team that needs him. But what kind of trades could Collingwood make with Tarrant, following are some ideas.
Tarrant to Sydney for Vogels and pick 15.
Tarrant to West Coast for Staker and Gardiner.
Tarrant to Melbourne for Yze.
Tarrant to Hawthorn for Everitt and Jacobs.
Tarrant to Adelaide for Reilly and pick 14.
Tarrant to Western Bulldogs for Skipper and pick 11.
Collingwood could have many offers to consider. They could get a 1st and 2nd round pick and stock up on youth. A draft pick and a player could help them both now and in the future. Buckley, Rocca, Prestigiacomo, Burns and Clement are not going to be around much longer so adding an extra star to push for a premiership might be a better option.
Recent trades of key forwards could also indicate the value that Tarrant may have. Nathan Thompson cost the Kangaroos two first rounders, while Ottens was a similar price for Geelong.
Tarrant should be worth a first round pick plus a player or another draft choice. But what he ends up getting the Magpies, or if they keep him, will be known in just over a week.
