How does everyone feel about Joel Corey and Corey enright as FA? Could offer them a couple extra years then what Geelong may offer but the Geelong culture would make it difficult to persuade them to leave. Adam selwood looks out of favor at west coast and could add vital experience to our backline.

What would be a fair trade for mackie? Gws have already developed a reputation as fair traders so I imagine if Adams wants to go then gws will accommodate. Perhaps Adams and a NT zoned player? Would love to hold
Onto wasley-black and he wants to play for us( that's different!!)

Not being SA here , can yo give an example of what you mean.

If so thats a fantastic attribute to develop. Clubs that are too recalitrant end up being friendless at trade time . Maybe his Ess time has educated Sheedy.
 
If mackie were to leave why would you consider to be a fair trade I mean. We only have a limited number of unsigned players of trade value and I can't see pick 1 being offered for a half back.

JC is on his last legs with a knee issue to manage. Boris is still a very good player.
Would either entertain a move? I doubt it but who knows. From a leadership POV the player Id chase would be Chapman. He would play half the games but would give 100% off ground and be a positive influence. Again would he move? No - maybe.

I suppose at their stages of career , a golden handshake could interest them.

Would love to get some of geelongs culture into this team. Massive respect for what Geelong has achieved and definitely want to see it emulated with gws. We seem pretty well stacked in terms of forwards and mids and we drafted a bunch of KPDs recently and what we need are some experienced half backs and backpockets to compliment Davis, mohr, gilham, bugg, plowman and corr. This player is cornes but with him being indefinitely injured and on his last year we need a replacement. An old head to guide our youth.

I doubt we would want any kid pushed into it. If he is happy at GWS he should stay there. But contracts mean little if he like the sound of a return to Vic or Geelong.
Would we take picks , not sure but again , we would be realistic. Perhaps a swap of picks or a kid that is a bit hidden in your plethora of kids. What's the story about Buntine , is he getting games?
Wells know the kids he likes. Do you have any comp picks left?
 
First time I have seen Adams really play this afternoon.
To me he reminds me a little of Shannon Byrnes or Johnno Simpkin. He's a hard runner , not what id call brilliant by foot but reasonable. Can play inside and out. But at this stage Id have Caddy ahead of him. So I'm not sure we will sell the farm for him but would be a good list thickener with plenty of time to develop.

Copped a knee to the ribs in the NAB Cup, resulting in a punctured lung. Would be getting games if not for that after struggling to get into the 22 last year. He's been back in the twos for 2-3 weeks so could come into the side soon.

Interesting names , I think you will be disappointed if and when a trade happens cause he is certainly not worth either club considering McEvoy or even Vardy as part of a trade. Talented kid, was a R1 pick yes but I cant see him being at that status. Perhaps I've missed him in GWS games but I certainly haven't seen the type of impact that rate him at that level . Unlike Shiell or your name sake for instance.

Mackie is a name I doubt you would get to move but he has been a serviceable player for the Cats. If you were to convince him (emotionally , financially ) that he would like a fresh start at GWS then Geelong would probably try to work out a deal. But as Caddy has found at geelong , 22 game at GC don't mean 22 games at Geelong. Mackie is a regular in our side and a much respected finals player. There is no way we would force him out for a very raw kid that may not even play regular games for us for a year or two.

Id say even West , who is a regular player for us , A 2011 Premiership player would be worth more than a kid with potential. West <> Adams and pick upgrades probably do it , imo.

Why would we even look at mackie.. He's not what we need. Harry Taylor on the other hand...
 
With mohr starting to step up along with Davis And gilham, corr, plowman and Bruce I think we need halfbacks/pockets with lots of experience. Taylor would only leave to go home to wA. Mackie/selwood would solidify our backline until our own players mature. Probably need an experienced sweeper in the backline and to be able to shut down pacy small forwards eg Walters/betts so probably someone like toovey or even Thomas and Thomas can play brilliantly on the hb hf and as a outside mid that can turn a game with a few goals from nowhere

Just wondering from Dlanod and even Raymann if he's still around,

how important is it that the Giants land a marquee now.

I guess I'm talking about one fella in particular.

The Giants and the AFL have asked for patience.

But I get the feeling both maybe running out of it themselves.

Completely agree. In the past I would have said that there is no point in getting Buddy because of our Patton/Cameron combo. Now I think we absolutely have to get him.... I think he's the only player other than Ablett who is commonly known amongst people not familiar with AFL.

Hi Cashie, good to hear your voice...

Buddy would look great in Giants colors. It would excite the players and supporters alike. Not sure it will happen, but fingers crossed.

I am confident that the Giants will recruit a couple of defenders and an A grade mid to lead the young mids!

Follow the cash.

Harry Taylor for pick #1 you might have interest

No way . One pick in the top 1 or 10 is only one talented kid that will take 2-3 years to become a player. That is not compensation for his immediate loss , which would probably stifle our immediate Flag chances. It would require 2 R1 picks min or a R1 and a player.

I think a marquee player will give us a short boost.

Winning, with or without a marquee player, will give us that long term boost.

They've already tipped picking up mature KPDs and a ruck, and while I don't mind our ruck stocks I'd really like a really solid KPD and leader down back, as well as a dedicated rebounding player. Davis will be good, but he really needs someone taking the bigger forwards. Mohr would be brilliant as a third tall - we saw how he can run loose marking and rebounding in the Essendon game. One more good mature midfielder would be nice as well.
