Trade Deals that will never happen

But probably should
1. Carlisle to Fremantle for either their First Pick (let's say 15 or 16) or a Top 5 mid from their squad. They will come under increasing salary cap pressure and need a long term key defensive tall.
2. Watson to either GWS or Suns for a 2nd Round Pick plus squad player. OK before you all go nuclear, this is a classic Sydney or Geelong trade. Allow a club Champ to leave in his twilight years in order to gain a long term replacement. Of course Jobe will never be forced into this situation but he would have significant currency with GWS for example who are on the rise whereas we are in decline.
3. Zaharakis for a similar yet smarter version. You see, I don't think Zaka adds enough to our squad yet in the right team could be very handy. I would see him being a decent trade to a club which has a player wanting to return to Victoria. For example, Zaharakis plus a depth player for Dangerfield.
From the above scenario we could pick up 3 to 4 quality mids and or draft picks. Losing Jobe would hurt for a year but his replacement could add value for a decade. Zaka and Carlisle are big enough names to attract interest with the trade result being a net gain in terms of what the team needs.
