Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Super-mega-ultrathread

[ziad]

We should not consider trading pick 1 unless it involves Bennell or O'Meara.

The way things are looking we will have the opportunity to pick one of the top 5 midfielders available with our first pick. Conca and Yarran can come in somehow but our first rounder should not be used.

Fine point well made.

 

[Falco]

Pick up Dom Sheed with our first rounder, perhaps try and trade Mitch Brown to St Kilda for a second round pick? Maybe even put Ash Smith out there for trade?

 

[twce13]

today is hard evidence that we need players who can damage from the boot. we damaged ourselves, turn overs, turn overs turn overs.... need more class in the middle.

 

[Magnum27]

Why would Carlton want Brown?

After watching today we've missed the boat on a getting a decent trade for Brown, 2nd rounder at best is all we'd get now. We can now see why they have barely played him.

 

[lewigie]

Our defense is the only ****ing good thing about our side. The rest of the ground is just a write off (bar Kennedy and Darling).

We get ran over in the 4th quarter because our defense is running back and forth covering no pressure in the midfield, for the whole game.

Brown is fine, I mean what other tradeable defenders are there in the AFL that are better than him?

 

[ChampRevesby]

You cant blame the defence when it's heading down there every bounce. Our midfield is the worst in the comp and the only way around it is to start the rebuild. Even at full strength we are miles behind in talent compared to the best in the league.

We must have been watching a different game.

I didnt see the game, how did Cale Morton go? Did he show anything?

I know he only had two possessions in over a quarter of footy...

Only got 20 minutes. Hard to tell. He needs a full game.

Yeah but we've got Sydney next week, reckon the MC's going to roll the dice with him and pick for that game? Or, do they send him back to WAFL and pick him for the game against the Bulldogs the week after?

Happy that Cripps seemed to show a bit - I know he's got some haters out there

 

[Spooky17]

Yeah I don't see Yarran as a desperate need, I'd really like to hold onto all our picks within he first two rounds to be honest. We need class through the middle.

Yarran has always drifted in and out of games.

This very much. It's a good draft to have our first two picks available

I must preface, I'm not a Morton hater, but is it just me or did he look incredibly skinny? Looked like a gentle breeze could've knocked him over!

Delist/retire/trade:
- Newman
- Embley
- ASelwood
- Smith
- Nicoski
- Hams
- Dick

 

[new breed]

Didn't Hams and Dick sign two year deals ??

Pay them out !!

 

[Marlin01]

Dick is a rookie and Hams signed a contract of unknown term last season.

 

[JackOutback]

Dick's a project player...is there any reason we would be cutting him loose. I don't know his WAFL form, but people seemed pretty keen on him last year.

 

[new breed]

Dick is a rookie and Hams signed a contract of unknown term last season.

I thought Dick was added to the main list via the draft last year ie pick 62 ??

 

[Marlin01]

He can't get on the park for a sufficient period to use his talent. It's tough for the bloke but we need to jam our list with midfield prospects and hope we can find a couple of diamonds in the rough asap.

 

[Marlin01]

Ahhh you're correct. Pick#79. We don't have a contract length for him though.

The other good thing about jamming our list with midfield talent is there's also the off-chance the one's who aren't successful as midfielders may have utility value in other positions. LeCras was an U/18's midfielder before we drafted him but I wouldn't play him anywhere other than in the forward line.

 

[new breed]

Hams and Dick would be on low contracts plus match payments but I think Dick may stay and hams floated as a trade maybe .

Dicks? I'd imagine it would be pretty short

would be lucky to get a fourth-round upgrade IMO

Hagdorn's best article for a long time. Actually sounds like he has some idea of what's going on.
