I love Armo and Longer but FWIW we have Seb, Dunstan and Acres as inside mids all U23, with Seb avg 27 disposals and Dunstan 18 to Armo's 21 this year. Also we have Hickey and Pierce (who I always thought had something) are looking really good and we have rucking depth.
As such I wouldn't be against the idea of trading them if the right offer came our way (1st rd picks)
If I was Ameet maybe look at something of a similar deal to what GWS did with Carlton last year or the dees a few years back.
If we end up with say pick 6 and trade armo for lets say 12ish and Longer for 16ish then:
12 + 16 to GWS for Marchbank, Steele, Ahern
2017 1st to WC for Gaff + Lamb
Go to Draft with 6, Rd 3 pick, Rd 4 pick
In: Steele, Marchbank, Ahern, Gaff, Lamb
Out: Armo, Longer, 2017 1st

IMO we will never trade Armo.
