How's My Trade Value: Simon Wiggins

July 4th 2008 02:40
Player: Simon Wiggins


Why their team should trade them:

Wiggins would be better suited to being on a team that has a big centre half forward, Wiggins could then take the role of a secondary marking option around half forward. At Carlton, he won't be a regular in their midfield, and isn't tall enough to have a big impact up forward.


Which team would be a good fit:

The Kangaroos need to add a piece or two to their forward line. In 2009, they will have plenty of big forward targets but will need another player like Corey Jones who can either play as a secondary marking option or go for an occasional run in the middle.


Similar trade in the past:

Smaller players who could kick goals, like Kent Kingsley and Callum Chambers, have been moved to new teams in minor trades and Wiggins might also be worth a low draft pick. Aaron Hamill was a short marking player who was traded from Carlton, he may have been a bit overvalued at the time by the Saints.


Possible trade scenarios:

To Carlton: Leigh Brown
To North Melbourne: Simon Wiggins

To Carlton: Wayde Mills
To Brisbane: Simon Wiggins

To Carlton: Saints' third round pick
To St Kilda: Simon Wiggins

Most of the players mentioned in the posts about trade value will stay with their teams. Wiggins would be more effective if there were more tall forward targets at Carlton, and he could play better if he was against shorter defenders every week.
