Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - Trade Period Edition

[dajesmac]

Has anyone else noticed the WCE website is using a clear photoshop off of one of the FB pages as Ellis' player profile?

Trading pick 6 to accommodate Brisbane is ridiculous. I understand we will be trading with them in the future, but we also need to protect our position.

The bottom line is Yeo is uncontracted and we can pick him up in the PSD if Brisbane don't want pick 44 for him.

Brisbane just sacked a favourite son and triple premiership captain as coach because it's business and they did what they thought was best by their club. They are unlikely to stop trading with us in the future because we did what was right by our club instead of bending over backwards and losing a top 10 pick to get them something more fair at our overall expense.

 

[swannies]

If Aish is available at 6, i'd rather Aish, Yeo and pick 44 (ish) to Sheed (if he's available at 11), Yeo and Pick 28. Too much risk in moving from 6 to 11 for mine.

And I'm about to get a date with Jennifer Hawkins.

 

[EagleMutt]

I don't understand how Collingwood screw everyone over in the trade period and everyone just smiles and agrees to it. No wonder they have a talented list. We need there recruiting staff!!

And I'm about to get a date with Jennifer Hawkins.

If that guy from Tasmania with the long name goes at 5, somebody slides. Who do you think it will be? I'm just going on what Quayle is predicting, and she's usually pretty good.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

How do you know we wouldn't have?

Because we needed a ruckman even less than the teams that passed over him with the first 17 picks?

In fairness we did take Sinclair in the same offseason.

As a mature-age rookie selection, not with our first live pick.

 

[swannies]

What game is that? Russian roulett with 5 of the six chambers loaded?

OK, let's say the club has decided that pick 6 to pick 20 are much of a muchness, then there are another 10 after that considered better than the remainder of the field. The club also decides it wants Yeo but wants 2 picks inside the top 30, remembering that after 5 they don't care about the order. So, they keep 2 picks inside the 30 and get a player they were after.
If that doesn't satisfy your penchant for Russian roulette, then remember, if we take another pick in the draft it means another player has to be delisted. Does that help the bloodlust?

True. I'm inclined to agree with you - just playing devil's advocate like a dick.

I'm not overly upset with Vozzo's work until this point but 6 + 40 for 11 + 31 is a shafting.

Firstly, I'd be stunned if someone took the Kalashnikov in the top 5, Darcy Gardiner more likely, but I don't think it will be Aish that slides. In fact, I'm near certain of it.

 

[swannies]

She likes her ear lobes nibbled

Duly noted and I will happily oblige.

Picking Sheed at 11 is the conservative approach, I'd rather take the risk and go for Aish at 6.

our second round pic is now 28. just give it to brisy and we take aish simple

What about 6 + 44 for 10 + Yeo? That's what it will end up.

 

[dajesmac]

In all seriousness I hope we don't have much interest in Koloshartnips. Doesn't really fill a need for us. I'm hoping it's one of Sheed or Acres. Gut feeling says Freeman gone @ 9.

Aish won't be there at 6. I'll make this deal with you, if Aish is available at 6 I will run naked around NIB stadium at a Glory match.

 

[Tiff]

Koloshartnips.

Wtf did I just read

 

[beatlesmith]

Are we to presume that the reason we want Collingwood's second pick is to get ahead of Freo's second pick, and by extension Freo are willing to part with that pick for Yeo and Yeo is willing to go to Freo?

Only reason to budge from pick ~44 I think.

Perhaps you have hit unerringly on the only true explaination here. Our clubs recruiting staff cant differentiate between pick 5 and 20. Explains everything.

 

[dajesmac]

What about 6 + 44 for 10 + Yeo? That's what it will end up.

I think with a squad that lacks top-end quality - we should be aiming to give ourselves the best opportunity of picking the best midfielder available. The idea that we've locked onto Sheed this early and are simultaneously aware that we don't need 6 to get him, is concerning. I personally would prefer to trade our second rounder (now 28) for Yeo and retain 6.

By doing this trade with Collingood and retaining our second rounder, we could get a reasonable talent to replace an extra player that needs to be delisted. Great. But I think the focus should be going after the best available 'elite' talent.

hope you have your nose spray

That didn't answer my question.

You too? Gotta love the internet eh Swannies?
