No player is untradeable if you get way overs what you think their true value is. Luckily we have people who know more than you running the club.

Which would be the same people that declined pick 12 for Armo.

Id take pick 12 for Armo but I dont believe it was offered. If it was maybe they wanted 21 back.
But straight armo for 12 id have taken.

Having said that - along with Jack and Roo - hes probably our most important player in 2015. Top 3 for sure. Possible Skipper in 16 or 17.

In theory yes. Anyone is tradeable.
Would you trade Roo for Cameron and WHE?

But its all just hypothetical. I don't believe the Tigs would have offered pick 12 for Armo straight swap. Just like GWS would never offer Cameron and WHE for Roo.

Not sure its really all so unbelievable.

You don't seem to be upset about people mentioning Steven being traded and he is clearly a better player. Armo is tradable like nearly every other player but it would have to be a great deal for both the player and the club. Its a business. Things change quickly.

If either of them is injured or off form we are going to be absolutely belted.
Absolutely, Con. The next two to three years are crucial for the development of our young midfielders. At this point, Jack and Armo are clearly our best two in the midfield and it would be madness to trade either of them. It would be a case of one step forward, two steps back. You build a midfield over time, piece by piece. Those two are the foundation stones, whom you build around.
