Nothing has been said anywhere that he has done his ACL again.

Check post #19189, though nothing on the GWS website.

2 bits of "info" or "gossip" i got told today. Take it or leave it only passing on.

Graham and Everitt to Suns for any early 2nd rounder

Marchbank Pickett and a late 2016 1st rounder for Pick 5

I would do Graham and Everitt for one of GCS second rounders for sure. Then send it to St. Kilda for Billy Longer and we can trade Kruezer out.

I just checked the giants website... it is now confirmed. I feel for the kid!

The Greater Western Sydney GIANTS can confirm that young midfielder Paul Ahern will require a second knee reconstruction after re-ruptured his ACL at training today.

The 20-year old underwent scans this afternoon and will undergo surgery on his right knee in the coming weeks.

I'd rather package that pick with another 2nd round pick for a pick in the 1st round, as we did last year with the Bulldogs.

LOL... why are you suggesting we trade a pick, that we can hopefully use to upgrade into a first round pick, to a club that just re-signed Longer and don't have plans on trading him.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Really like the Everitt and Graham for an early second rounder rumour.


I feel everyone is overrating 2E a bit.

I know the coaches all loved him last year, but a first rounder? I'd jump at that.

He'd get a game at every club in the AFL. What pick #18 can you say the same for? High change pick #18 turns out to be some dud. Touhy is a quantified, quality footballer.

Billy Longer is shit.

 

[Kramer1]

Weitering, Marchbank, Plowman - can all play tall / medium and use the ball well
Byrne, Doc, Tuhoy - good running, users of the ball who can play medium / small

Our backline for the next 8 years assuming we replace like for like with Zac over the next few years.

It would want to be an all time defense given the amount of ball that will be coming their way. Marchbank shares a broadly similar skill set to Plowman and Weitering. A nice get for sure, but a luxury we can ill afford.

If the GWS trade goes as speculated, that will be three years and counting since we have invested in elite midfield talent.

As shit as Mike Pyke ?

Thanks, your Carlisle info last year was good.

Is this as good a source as that or more gossipy?

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Trading Kruezer out gets us the pick anyway. Longer would quickly be our number one ruckman, better than both Kruezer and Phillips. Longer isn't even their number one ruckman now at St Kilda. Not even sure he is number two at the moment. There have even been whispers that we are into Longer. There isn't anything LOL about what I suggested.

 

[Soapy V]

names being discussed that i like are green lennon hrovat marchbank mcstay pickett & lyons. get those players, some gun draft selections, add our kids as regular players and we look a lot different. might be able to kick some goals as well.

 

[Two Planks]

Last year was from the horses mouth, todays info was from a close friend of the decision maker at the blues who should remane nameless that was the full back in the team of the century.

Billy Longer is shit.

just young. lots of ability

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Billy Longer is shit.

No he actually isn't shit. 2015 was ranked number for hit outs. Averages far more than either Kruezer or Phillips. Be nice to have a ruckman that can get us more first use of the ball don't you think?

Cheers for sharing TP. Like the Suns trade, don't like the GWS trade - think we could get both for 23 alone or forget Pickett. Not worth losing five.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

You're the one who wants to trade our first round pick from next year mate... so why should you jump all over someone who wants to trade it as well?

And who says that we are even going to be close to being a top 3 pick?

I certainly don't think we will have first pick next year. But its more than likely going to be in the 4 - 6 range again I would suggest. We aren't going to jump up to just outside the eight next year, certainly wont be in it anyway.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

I trust SOS & his team, not BigFooty trades!

Agree but go in with caution, he had enough fails whilst at GWS for me to have doubts.

Given we have such an interest in Marchbank, we have to at least consider that there's a very good reason for that to be the case........but I don't think that the reason would be; "Let's stack our backline to the hilt at the expense of other areas of the ground"

I just see Weitering playing forward.
With Docherty, Plowman, Byrne and possibly Marchbank down back and that we're resolute in playing a team defence, we may not need Weitering at full-back as much as we think we may.

The guy is an aerobic beast, a leader, has a straight kick and reads the ball as well as anyone.......I just see him as forward, going.....forward.

Meh, ruckman are overrated. Show me an All Australian ruckman in a premiership side, the last one was Dean Cox, a next level goat. Every other premiership side get's it done with part timers. What did Nic Nat do in the grannie last year? Ruckman are the LAST thing a side should focus on.

Correct, Need 5 for JOM and Prestia..

Lets see how things go over the trade period... if we can bring in some good mids who are composed and can kick... I would have us jumping as high as 9th

Its an interesting proposition, if we were to go backwards and finish last in 2017... Would Brendan Bolton be able to handle the pressure and would the knives be out..

I don't know if Longer is shit but I liked the posts directness.
