Hahahahahhaha Byron Schammer

resigned unfortunately. Lamb i think could be on the outer up there with Jetta, Rohan, B.Jack occupying those kinds of flank/sub fringe roles, and I think we could offer him permanence in a forward pocket, kid is very clever around the goals.

As far as alternative talent goes, we've got Clothier coming through this year who is a free hit and fits a positional need, yet we probably wont pick him. bizarre.

When I think of Jed Lamb, I keep thinking of Pat Vezpremi (sp?). Did well with his kicking at draft camp/combine but hasn't really developed into something they had hoped for.

 

[eth-dog]

Doubt they are giving up the son of a club legend any time soon.

As for Luke Parker, that just sucks.. I'm not completely sold on the hype of Jed Lamb.

It was a joke. Would prefer McGlynn to Lamb but that's unlikely

No they won't, that would be restraint of trade for players.

So they strip us of draft picks but allow us to trade for draft picks. A bit hypocritical

 

[Yoda_]

surely we would not entertain trading belly for anything higher then a pick 19-20? Unless a player is also part of the deal.

Was reffering to a pick anywhere between 1 - 20 or 1 - 30.

How is it hypocritical? We'd have to pay for those draft picks, not get handed them for free.

 

[WEEVZ]

These are the list changes I'd make (keep in mind its speculative):
Keep: Bellchambers (Unless he's involved in a trade for Pick 1 so we can get Boyd), Hooker, Melksham, O'Brien, Winderlich, Dell'Olio, Hardingham, Crameri.
Trade: Pears, Jetta, Davis, Colyer, Gumbleton, Davey.
Retirements: Hille, Lovett-Murray, Fletcher (Though I hope he stays 1 more year).
Delistings: Hunter, Steinberg.

Trade/Free Agency targets:
Thomas (Adds run & polish)
Longer (A replacement for TBC if he's traded)
Sylvia (I know he's iffy but he's in a crap team)
Watts (Could be useful either up forward or down back if we can harden him up)
Adams (If we could work a trade that would net us him and Pick 1 that didn't cost us too much great)
Martin (Would add a fair bit of X-factor to our MID/FWD lines)
Karnezis (Haven't seen much of him but could be worth a look)
Vardy (Young gun ruckman, has had his share of injuries but can play).
Hanley (Getting better and better with each season he plays, more than useful off a half-back flank).

Draft targets:
Boyd (If we can get hold of pick 1)
Garlett (Appears to have turned a corner in terms of attitude).
Tipungwuti
Sikora
Jydon Neagle (Father-Son)

I realise we probably won't end up with most if any of the guys I've listed as targets but it'd be great to get a few of them wouldn't it! Thoughts?

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Karnezis is a decent shout, he's a pacy wingman. Not sure about his skills though which is probably criterion number one.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Hanley would be worth swapping pick 11 and a player for without hesitation. Would be the perfect addition to our midfield, and pretty much finalise our team.

I was thinking about the criteria I would have when selecting players.

mine would include 1) workrate, 2) skills, 3) decision making would almost be the top 3 IMO

Thats what I was thinking, if we could get him and Martin...well lets say flag tilt here we come

 

[ZaharakisFTW]

Is Hanley out of contract?
either way could not see him him leaving Brisbane.

 

[Wattos Waste]

is Martin even on our radar? he should be

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Wouldn't have close to the cap space for that, but Hanley would be an extraordinarily good addition. 11 + Gumbleton for him without the slightest hesitation.

 

[eth-dog]

Martin, Hanley and Watts would be the three I'd target. I'd also like a mid-sized lead-up forward to play that Monfries role

 

[Yoda_]

One player I was going to mention (again) was Kyle Martin (Collingwood). A goal kicking half forward cum midfielder. 22 years old on the Pies rookie list, I would trade to get him to Essendon.

Crameri? Merret? Winderlich ? (if fit)
or we could have, you know, kept Monfries and he could have played the Monfries role.

 

[Hartnet]

I have a stkilder friend who reckons we should trade our first pick (10 -12) plus Hurley for there first pick (3) and NDS. Thoughts?

 

[eth-dog]

Crameri plays like a KPP and will probably go to the dogs. Merrett's hands are poor. Winderlich plays more 1-30m out instead of 40-80m from goal

I wonder if there's ever been a more one-way player in AFL history.

That trading for a free agent is really stupid.

Why trade a guy about to enter his prime for a guy who's past his? Doesn't make sense

your welcome to your opinion but it differs from mine who has seen him a few times more than you IMO.

Adelaide will be doing exactly this after the Tippett stuff.

 

[Hartnet]

Well effectively were getting pick 3 for him, and we're adding a bit of a sweetener, NDS for our first pick,
In my opinion, we could get a really decent mid with pick 3, and, not to sure about NDS, weather he would suit what our club is trying to achieve,

 

[lemon chicken]

just have to find another athlete who wants to change sports.

Found one.
