Mega Thread Trade Targets 2018 (2018 Trade Period Discussion)

The last player who knocked us back because we wouldn't guarantee the starters spot for him was Jonathan Giles, and that was a good result in retrospect

Giles expecting a SANFL side to guarantee him a starters spot is a bit much, let alone an AFL side.

Who is demanding starters spot?

Didn't someone on the previous page say Preuss? I don't know for sure, I've never spoken to him, or anyone he knows.

Jason Torney ....gun.

Knew I was forgetting someone. Couldn't get past Graham and Tambling.

I watch these teams with ruckmen who can run and do stuff and become more and more convinced that getting Preuss is the most beneficial thing we can do this off season to have an immediate impact on next season

I just want to see him tackle people to death.

I just want to hear 50 000 at Adelaide Oval yelling....."Preuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssss"!!

The info on stengle is correct. Looking like he will be a crow next year. If so will be a very good pickup.

Means we either don’t want or are not confident of getting Rankine which I’m not happy with!

I would think they are two very seperate discussions. Trade period goes down well before draft night. Can't go in assuming that you will get a certain player in the draft so you skip on a player available during trade week, only to then miss out on that player in the draft as well. Also in reverse, you don't trade in a player based on what you think will happen on draft night, as it can be very unpredictable and as we saw last year, players slide.

Depends where you see Rankine and Gallucci developing. If you think they're midfielders then we definitely need specialist small forward help, especially with Eddie at the end of his career.

The more speed we get in the better.. Have lacked that very badly in recent years..

Gallucci will be playing mainly mid next year imo. His pace and two way running are needed very badly. Rankine, betts, knight and stengle sounds good up forward with 2 key talls.

The problem for me is that I want it all. I want four or five of these SA boys from the draft list - Luko, Rankine, Rozee, Hately, Valente, Sparrow, Grundy and want to trade out whatever we need to get them. PLUS I want Preuss and some of these others from other clubs that sound OK - Stengle etc. PLUS I would be prepared to give Michael Talia a rookie or late draft spot PLUS there's a whole heap I don't know about yet. How am I going to get all of that?

With that avatar, you should be able to have what ever you want!

My favourite post for ages. I literally was laughing out loud.... i still am

You're normally pretty accurate

 

[Pea Nut]

If he lands here, there would be a few players on our list desperately hoping that they are in the same side as him in the pre-season scratch matches.

 

[dogs105]

No one will touch MTalia within the AFL system again.

Not sure why youd want Valente, we have enough slow mids already.

Valente isn't slow

The only player this would have an impact on is Lachie Murphy

Stengle could also affect Murphy ....that said, i hope Lachie drops another 4 kgs this PS & gains another yard of pace ......will be an interesting watch

That's what I just said?

Sorry, tried looking at the original discussion post .....apologies

Nah I wasn't saying he has (as in I know any info) but more you'd imagine if a team is offering a walk in #1 ruck spot then he'd take that over an uncertainty of where he might be, especially if he wants out because of the lack of opportunities he's had at North.

As for the 14 games for Jacobs and 10 for him that some have floated, it sounds nice in theory but surely that only happens if they both keep getting injured? Otherwise you're trying to build them into form in which both should be capable of playing an entire season give or take a couple of games.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

So lets assume we do get Preuss & Stengle ......what else do we need Trade Wise?

We still have the fabric of a very good side. I'd love an upgrade on Jake Kelly and another superstar midfielder, but that's probably asking a bit much.

Jake may struggle next season .....this McPherson has great wraps on him ....Could this be the year that we see the best of Brad Crouch ?
