Mega Thread Trade Targets 2018 (2018 Trade Period Discussion)

[WaynesWorld19]

Joah Kelly?

Who?

 

[DJ75]

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.

And which two key talks is that? We have Tex, Jenkins, Lynch and Fogarty. Who isn’t playing in this team of yours?

 

[dogs105]

He used to. Does he any more, even when fit?

Don't know. Hasn't been fit for over a year.

/ “We recognise and appreciate the interest in player movement and trade talks at this time of year but we prefer not to provide a running commentary on our recruiting or list management plans,” a Crows spokesman told The Advertiser. /

Maybe we could’ve implemented this strategy of keeping our mouths shut rather than blabbing to the media that Gibbs wanted a trade to the Crows.

Let it go, conVINCEd, let it go...

*deep breaths*

Agree that was a disaster. In fairness though he bounced back last year. Huge rookie mistake first up though

 

[Squiba]

Is Grundy's Brother in this Draft ?

Athletic key defender, late to rookie pick I reckon. Raw but a bit to work with.

So he's not tall enough to be a ruckman ? ......haven't heard him mentioned at all, any good?

 

[Doctor B]

I don't want the club to do anything that will get us another salary cap breach penalty, but if Rob Gerrard buys Brodie Grundy a luxury home in the suburb of his choice and a holiday home maybe throw in some nice cars to get him over to the AFC i'd appreciate it.
Or is a go fund me by random supporters counted as salary cap?
How good we would with Grundy as our ruckman?

 

[Crows I Am]

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

Don't know too much about him but my brother who is a mad Tigers supporter said he would be a great pickup for us. Said he has been very unlucky not to get more games, Richmonds very good injury run and high performing small forwards have kept him out.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

So he's not tall enough to be a ruckman ? ......haven't heard him mentioned at all, any good?

He’s a battler at best

 

[Danger in Texas]

They prob have the best U24s in the comp

English the query - thoughts ? If he gets going too they’ve really nailed it

I think English makes it now, he won’t be a superstar but he’s shown enough tools. Might be regarded as a soft player for his size but he’s got too much talent to not make it, I think

 

[Danger in Texas]

Ps do we have 2 firsts next year ? Since when ? You mean 1st + future 1st ?

Yeah first plus future first, the two firsts we’ll have next year

We need a game breaker - imagine poaching someone like Petracca

 

[Danger in Texas]

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

Nothing. Preuss is our only real need, Stengle is a very nice bonus but still something of a need

We can then hit the draft hard hopefully with 4 top 30 picks

 

[Squiba]

So he's not tall enough to be a ruckman ? ......haven't heard him mentioned at all, any good?

Unless he grows a fair bit it is very unlikely.

Wouldn't call him 'good' now, if he gets drafted it is as a project and even then, could easily be passed over.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I agree ....this is the new ruckman ....this is why I ponder the Preuss style Ruckman ??

Mummy worked in GWS because he had so many quick midfielders around him .....but at the Crows, that's not our strength, so I am questioning whether the slow lumbering, but aggressive, Ruckman suits our current setup

He’s actually quite mobile and agile for his size. I think his problem is that he needs to get more touches. I think he’s a bit of a mix of Mummy and Gawn stylistically, but obviously we can’t tell how good he’ll turn out

If we can draft some quick mids and maybe trade one in next year, he can grow with those guys. It’ll turn out alright

 

[Thetrader15]

Who?

Brother of Josh and Jake...apparently goes alright

 

[StonesThrow]

Is Preuss even any good? Or is he just available?

 

[Pea Nut]

Who?

Like Noah but with a J.

 

[40porpoise]

I’ve only watched highlights of Preuss on YouTube. But he seriously has some tricks. He doesn’t look like an average big lumbering ruck, he has some X factor and plenty of upside

 

[Sloane4pm]

If we are seriously contemplating packaging 2-3 first round picks to get lukosius I would much rather offer them to collingwood for Grundy. God I hope we are in his mangers ear with a mobster offer when he’s out of contract

 

[Iron]

Settle down. We ground Jacobs into the ground this year, with zero healthy back up or ability for him to rest.

Let's see where he's at when he's healthy and fresh.

I'd imagine Jacobs playing 14 games and Preuss playing 10.

Not playing a ruck in the grand final? Interesting

 

[Legz]

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

With the addition of fit B.Crouch & Smith, I personally feel like that’s enough for immediate needs.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Nothing. Preuss is our only real need, Stengle is a very nice bonus but still something of a need

We can then hit the draft hard hopefully with 4 top 30 picks

Not one more quick Mid / Fwd type ??

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Brother of Josh and Jake...apparently goes alright

You don't mean Will Kelly, do you ?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Not one more quick Mid / Fwd type ??

Move up to get Rankine if possible, if not then maybe get someone like McAdam later in the draft? I can’t see too many who’ll be available that are already on lists

If Stengle goes, Bolton will stay

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Like Noah but with a J.

I'll have to research the bottom echelon of the draft
