So we're going to end up having around pick 17-20 + 35-40 in the draft, and these are the guys who in my opinion are untouchable currently on our list from a trade perspective;
FORWARDS
Roughead
Gunston
Breust
Rioli
MIDFIELDERS
Lewis
Mitchell
McEvoy
Hodge
Hill
Whitecross
Smith
Anderson
Shiels
DEFENDERS
Gibson
Birchall
Stratton
Litherland
I've listed these guys not only because they are the core of our next premiership side, but because for a lot of them, we won't get the value in picks for what they're currently worth.
These are the players not on my list that I reckon could have SOME trade value;
Suckling
Duryea
Cheney
Ceglar
Schoenmakers
Lowden
Simpkin
I personally would love to see us acquire some talented young midfielders from sides that have an abundance (GWS!), and here's a very short list.
Dylan Shiel - age 21 - Contracted for 2015
Stephen Coniglio - age 21 - Contracted for 2015
Lachie Witfield - age 20 - Contracted for 2016
Adam Treloar - age 21 - Contracted for 2015
Matt Buntine - age 21 - Contracted for 2015
Will Hoskin-Elliott - age 21 - Contracted for 2015
Can anyone put together a trade scenarios for any of these guys?
Dylan Shiel for me is the one we should be targetting above all. Brute of a footballer, and is the kind of player you can build your side around for a decade. Reportedly wants to leave the Giants, it's just whether we can organise a trade for a player where literally every other club would be in for.
I'd love it if Wright could make this happen over the trade/draft/free agency period
Trades:
Dylan Shiel > Pick 18 + Ryan Schoenmakers
Matt Buntine > Pick 35 + Suckling + Lowden
Free Agency:
James Frawley - 6 years $650,000
(I'm tempted to go after Higgins, but it's probably best we keep it stashed away for the 2015/16 period when a LOT of stars are becoming available)
IN:
Dylan Shiel
Matt Buntine
James Frawley
Pick 55 (I'd expect a prospect KPP)
OUT:
Pick 18
Pick 35
Ryan Schoenmakers
Matthew Suckling
Luke Lowden
