So anyway how about Marchbank?
Better than lever in the end. Controversial but I'll stick to it. Highest upside non no.1 or 2 defender under 23. Deserved to go at 6 unlike many people's opinion.

Would target him and lachie Weller

Starting to have a distinct Saintsational smell about this thread.

Isnt it the D &T thread not the "I' m right and you are wrong pissing contest" thread?

Can we please get it back OT?.
While I do agree with your first two points. The mega thread has never been one for... remaining on topic for too long.

A whisper from Fox Sports' Tom Morris, Adam Baldwin and Riley Beveridge ....

"THE Hawks are already starting to lay the foundations for the next phase of their success — and it involves targeting the best young players struggling for game time at their current clubs."

Better sign up Tom Lee, Billy Longer and Darren Minchington. Seb Ross is at least a regular now but he'd be even more important.

of course they should, so should we!

By 2020 GWS will probably have about 35-40 first round picks on their list. They lose a player then gain a higher draft pick or sometimes 2.


That is true but if they are always losing players and gaining picks then hopefully they never get a settled list. I would have thought by now they should be close to dominating but they keep losing players. And there is more to a footy club than just good players.

Hopefully we prize away another good OOC player at the end of this season. Surely there will be SC pressure very soon.

He's going to be able to be a no.3 for a long time at GWS. Once he adds size he's going to be a monster
Agreed. We needed a Billings but I really wanted Marchbank. I wouldn't be adverse to trading for him at all. Much better prospect than a Hurley in the long run

agreed but its all about cost.

gws will want future picks for him but id love to trade players for him. (Hickey) although it would hurt us losing him even when longer becomes a beat but i don't see any value in other positions that we could trade.

hickey for marchbank and future pick swapping n the favour of GWS seems like a realistic deal.

but in the order of "gettable" gws players i want it would go

1. Sheil (2 first rounders and pick swap in our favour)
2. Kelly (future first rounder and a pick swap in GWS favor)
3. Marchbank (player + pick swap)
i oddest think saints can really picky tho, if hurley wants to come here get him, if steele wants to come here get him etc..

Honestly don't know but I doubt it very much. Surely different clubs don't have different FA rules. Um putting that in the very unlikely pile.

Unfortunately we really dont have the bargaining power for the players we are considering.

Who do we have of worth that a GWS would be willing to trade for. Dont think they have anything they want or need.

Agreed. Its only draft picks that will interest them. Even a guy like Hickey wouldn't be much interest as they have Mummy who is getting older but they also have Lobb who looks a star in the making. I'm sure they would take Billings and Steven and then I'm struggling to think of many others.
