It's a good year to do it EC as the 2nd round is v strong and the early part of draft is even

Depends on our specific target(s) at pick 13 . It's kind of just on the edge of getting a 'slider' from top 10 like a Taranto but prob just out of range for those types

In 20s there may be the young SA boy Hayward who has come on leaps and bounds in last 2 months and guys like Powell pepper , Galluci , Drew who are good potential midfielders should be there . Then there is Florent , Witherden , Venables , Berry. One of those could slide through despite being 1st round chances

I'd do it
Didn't the Bulldogs do something similar a couple of years back? Any idea who they picked up?

Last year - after offering pick 11 and their 2nd rounder for Lobbe and getting rejected they then downgraded 11 to 2 picks in the 20s. Got Collins the key defender and Dunkley I think ( he might have been later )

Seriously how can Richmond not cough up 8 for Prestia? You would do that all day every day.

Sorry, but maybe we should be going to GC and GWS to see what we can do about a pick upgrade that we can use to get the guy in. Then get in his ear.

He's a player that would make a massive difference to us and be miles, miles better than a 28yo Gibbs.

I'm all for recruiting Bryce, but hell Prestia is a bargain at 8 in comparison. I'd be doing whatever I could to get a pick upgrade to make it happen, and would even give 13 and next year's 2nd for this guy.

Prestia is another with "iffy" knees but...

Up to 30ish though?
No last year's was OK up to 30, several players I had time for went after, Ryan Clarke, Rhys Mathieson and Tom Cole, even Harley Balic who was a massive slider I predict will all be good contributors, last year had some really strong tall prospects that this year lacks massively.

I would be shocked if he is in Hawthorn colours next season. Seems to be a bit of bad blood between the club and Lewis. Hawks might have just pissed down the drain most of the reputation they have built in the last decade or so.
Was he not happy with being asked if he wanted a trade to free up salary cap space? It does seem unusual for the club to ask the two guys who finished top 2 in the best and fairest if they want to leave.

Carlton's entire thread on the Gibbs trade is laughable. They're setting themselves up for serious disappointment when the trade goes through
Id be happy if it does fall through ... we can simply hand over 13 for rocky which noble would be yelling out ... 'start the car' . Rocky is a much better player imho.

Anyone know if Gary Ablett Jnr is in town at the moment? Saw someone looking at stall menus at he Central Market Food Court tonight - guess it was the generic bald headed guy thing but he did look like GAJ though his shoulders/arms looked a bit on the thin side. Anyone else see the guy?

I'd only believe that if he was arm in arm with Tom Rockliff and Tim O'Brien..

Hampton is a mid. He only played back at GWS because they have about 54 star midfielders in their squad. Get a pre-season into him and he will be a gun. The lad can play.
If they play him in the midfield. But he has trained and played in the backline so far, and we have had no indication that will change soon. The people who want to see him in the midfield are himself and fans (some anyway) but not the coaches, it seems.
