Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[Runk]

It'd be the following for mine:
#1 - McLuggage
#19 - Battle
#26 - Whoever is best available (Kerr?)

I think though having #1, #19, #26 (via MEL for Hibberd), #37, #48 (via WCE for Howlett), #55, #73, #91, #109 is probably a few too many picks. I'd be more in favour of getting as many picks inside the top 10 (and 20) as possible. IF (and I don't think it'll happen) Hurley does decide he wants to leave, we'd have to go after Marchbank wouldn't we? Or do we press hard for a Patton/Lobb and play Hooker in defense again with Francis as the 3rd tall down there?

Those two will now not leave GWS.

Probably not this year no, but there is a cap squeeze at GWS. I'm just saying if Hurley were to go, Marchbank/Patton/Lobb would be the 3 guys (at least from GWS) that you'd have to look at, probably as part of a 3 way deal. Though to be honest I'm not sure what clubs could offer enough in exchange for a guy like Hurley. If it's the Dogs/Saints obviously there first pick (currently Pick 12 and Pick 9 respectively) has to be involved as well as a top shelf player coming back our way, or next years 1st and a fringe player. Then there's all the talk that if he were to go it'd be to an interstate club, so I dunno. Still think he stays but we need an answer before the end of the season.

I'd like to go for Marchbank anyway, he is mobile for a key defender could easily play the 3rd tall role and we can leave Francis forward.

So you think something like the following?
FB: Marchbank - Hartley (Hurley if he stays) - Baguley
HB: Goddard - Hooker - McDonald-Tipungwuti

HF: Langford - Daniher - Laverde
FF: Fantasia - ???? - Francis

 

[eDPS]

If Hurley stays then Hooker plays Full Forward if not I'd still play Hooker forward and play Hartley, Marchbank and Francis as the main defenders.

 

[scanlon]

Marchbank is quality and could be one of the gun defenders in a few years. If he is the "steak knives" in a deal you take that every day of the week

Not related to us but does Craig Hutchison actually understand footy? Just watched the latest episode of Footy Classified on YouTube and I've gotta say every week he comes across as a blithering idiot.

I'd like to get in Marchbank if Hurley leaves. Hartley/CMB/Francis would be my preferred talls down back.

Plays with Liam Pickering in a world of fantasy and make believe and has made a fortune from it. Incredible.

 

[The Fact]

Can't understand why some people don't view francis as KKP

 

[Tazdog]

Can some one pls tell me what's happened in the last 80 odd pages of the thread lol... I've missed a fair bit haha

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Are we talking about the same Marchbank that is made of glass and constantly injured?

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Cluggage: 37 disposals, 24 effective, 14 handball receives, 5 marks, 2 goals, BOG.

Dunno... Don't you get the sense that he's a bit vanilla?

That's what everyone was telling me last year.. I reckon you have a point.

He is someone who landed in the job God knows how. I'm thinking Ricky Muir style. Now he's there he is constantly trying to create controversy and stay relevant. Not sure which order those last two come in.

 

[efcboy]

How many employers organise trades with other companies in the real world?

Not sure it is the best comparison.

Football is a business these days. Free agency and collective bargaining agreements ensure this. Even contracted players have been able to dictate trades in recent times.

 

[DHepp21]

Assuming Carlton finish 13th and Collingwood finish 11th. GWS then trade a bunch of players for Carlton's Pick 6. Then we do Pick 1 for Pick 6 and Pick 7.

That's way overs, GWS would rather keep those picks

But they get Brodie/McCluggage on top of their academy picks. Also a fair gap between the top three and the rest.

Well sure, you can compare them in some regards, but not in the way you first mentioned. Companies don't trade players.
