Hot Topic 2016 DRAFT

[Jeremias]

I am Ok with Dre leaving but not for nothing. He is still valuable to us.

We're not going to get much for him - minor pick upgrade at best, I reckon. Or he may be used as "steak-knives" in a bigger deal.

Had a good year last year but has gone backwards significantly under Bolton.

He doesn't hold much value to us now and he'll be of even less value next year with others clearly ahead of him IMO in the pecking order.

how is he valuable when he can't get a game for our seniors and no one wants him?

 

[Jeremias]

and maybe stewart & marchbank? with tomlinson stewart marchbank weitering rowe white mckay jaksch g-mac gorringe supported by charlie sos & plowman do we need everitt jones & casboult?

Stewart and Marchbank won't be competing with Everitt for a spot.

SOS, Charlie and Tomlinson however are all reasonably similar to Andrejs.

He was a regular last year and has played seniors more often than not at senior level this year. "Can't get a game for our seniors" is a bit extreme.

How do you know no one wants him? GC were very keen on him last year.

that was last year under malthouse when he played okay and clubs were interested. at the moment he is in the 2's when we need every decent player we can get. any club willing to give anything under pick 40 for him would be mad. it just seems to me that bolton is building a side and structure that if you dont work both ways you wont play. bit of an indictment on a 27 year old

I think you will find someone wants him & Dre already knows that. His football this year has been very similar to that of Henderson last year. I expect him to be one of our first trades during the trade period.

i hope youre right

 

[thylacine60]

Any risk of the appropriate apostrophe, Soapy? ffs....

 

[mediumsizered]

On the plus side, he did put an 'e' at the end.

 

[thylacine60]

fair call......

TFFT!

 

[Chasing 17]

Essendon - McCluggage or Brodie
Brisbane - Nom Bowes but take Ainsworth
Fremantle - Petrevski-Seton

 

[Malifice]

Pick 4 in the bag now means one of McCluggage, Brodie, Ainsworth, Petrevski-Seton is ours.

Now all we need is a pick around 8 for Marshall and a pick around 16 for battle.

 

[Chasing 17]

and a pick around 16 for battle.

Get on the Kerr bandwagon with me... second round pick should do it.

Got any highlights? I really like the look of Marshall. Needs to bulk up though.

Decent on the lead but kicking lacks a bit of penetration. Size?

Think he is up to 193-194cms now.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

We need leg speed but inside leg speed so we can have the best of both worlds. Not keen to stock up on more talls and not get any quality mids. Talls get burned by poor midfields.

 

[BM123]

Any midfielders with a really good mix of inside and outside traits please.

Dylan Shiel and Treloar types would be nice.

 

[Chasing 17]

Agreed re: mids, hope we can take two quality mids before our second round pick we got from the dogs.

We really need a late top 10 pick.

Nek minnit downtrade for two top 30 picks

I wouldn't go near Marshall. Too hot and cold for my liking. Shapes as a huge bust imo. We need as close to certainties as we can get.
