2020 FA, Draft and Trade HYPOTHETICAL thread...now with new DFA speculation!

[Strapping Young Lad]

A good reference point for picks.

 

[WWSD]

Wrighty on SEN just said we're not entertaining trading out Gunston or Breust.

He's rarely so categoric, so I take it as that door is closed.

Phew.

I guess their names will be floated around again this time next year, for the 7th year in a row.

 

[Sturty]

Crawford suggesting teams will come after Wingard.

No way we trade him after what we gave up - JESUS

 

[MrPremiership]

Phew.

I guess their names will be floated around again this time next year, for the 7th year in a row.

And for now the speculation will rest on:

- Smith to Carlton (thanks Jordan Lewis)
- Wingard to anyone (thanks Shane Crawford)



Got to love, no matter where we are on the ladder, we're relevant from a news point of view. Can't say the same about the "BIG" Melbourne clubs....

In the instance that we do actually get something coming back that we like, we may be interested in releasing Gunston who is contracted to 2022.

So, this one is for you Brishawk.

Gunston, Pick 3 and 21 to Lions for Pick 16, 19 and Raynor.

Dreaming?

Nightmare sounds better. Essentially Gunston + 3 for Raynor + 16. How about Bruest for Raynor, they get a player that helps them for the flag, we get a player with potential to fill Breusts role in the right age group.

Is it just me who is reading that a little different? “Just cause we can get something in return” reads to me like they have already spoken to someone about them, and if your “speaking” then you are obviously open to it!

I think that is reading too much in to it, i think what he says is exactly what he means.

We know we could get something for them if we traded them, we just don't think it is the way to go about rebuilding.

Nah, you've read way too much into that.

Aiden Corr, 26yrs old key back worth a look fits the age profile and fills a list shortage

 

[Hot Diggity]

Phew.

Trade Breust!

 

[Hot Diggity]

Im changing my thinking, Bruest/Gunners to stay. Shop both JOM, Mitch, they won't take us to success. If it means we take a step back to go forward so be it. Id even get off their contracts for a early second. Mids needs a major overhaul. Our fwds/backs would look completely different. No FWD in the comp would do well with Mitch/JOM/Shiels snapping it 15 m over their shoulder into the FWD 50 every time. Offer JOM for freo's first rounder, they might bite

Totally agree with this. JOM and Tom have no upside.

Fills a list shortage need that's true, I simply don't rate him though so I hope we stay away. TylerDurden says it's done to North anyways ?

I agree, I don't know what all of the fuss is about. Seems a bit of a liability in almost every Giants game I watch. Not going to help us build a premiership defence, so why bother.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Wright just controlling the narrative here, Hawks doing exit interiews this week as we speak due to Hub life and interstate players and so forth not wanting to return to Victoria atm.

Read it how you like but he didn't rule anything out just used terms like " I wouldn't think" and alike, never said won't.
What's in our best interest could change dramatically should the right offer come.

As I said exit interiews are being held now and player request could be different to the wishes of the clubs.

I love today's society and it's inability to separate opinion and fact in the media.

Clubs should chase Wingard = Hawthorn are trying to trade Wingard

A team like Brisbane should go after Gunston or Bruest = Hawthorn are trying to trade into the first round by shipping off Gunston and Bruest

 

[jameses]

Totally agree with this. JOM and Tom have no upside.

How can you suggest Mitchell has no upside? Still rebuilding from a season ending injury.

We sould be trading the following players to get more picks. We should have started our re-build 3 years ago.
Luke Breust - End of first rounder for the right buyer - Carlon, Geelong ??
Jack Gunston - End of first rounder for the right buyer - Geelong, Essendon
Chad Wingard - First rounder for the right buyer - Carlton
Isaac Smith (Free Agent) Potentually package Wingard and Smith for Carltons first pick.

Not one team that has done a complete rebuild has won a trophy in the new era. Not going to happen we wont do that

Not only do they not win a premiership, they become a basket case for 2 decades.

We need a mix of all things: 1st round talent, existing players, late pick success, maybe a big FA when ready and bit part trade gems.

If Gunston, Bruest, Smith and Wingard all left in the off season, we would finish bottom of the ladder with a percentage of 40, let's see how the young blokes develop playing in that team for 5 years. Absolutely putrid idea.

2 top 20 picks essentially and Downie is a great start. We need to phase this rebuild not do it in the space of 12 months.

Exactly... how are the young kids going to develop in a Basket case side with no experienced leaders around them
