Lets be honest here if we want immediate impact we will need to give something good to get something much better in return.
We only have 4 options which would net us a trade value which would be seen to be in our favour.
Jack, Rance, Martin and Cotchin.
Out of that list IMO Cotchin is the only one I wouldn't be too fussed to see walk if the trade was in our favour.
Many won't like this idea but if Cotchin was up to it and GC were willing to pay for it I would do.
Cotchin for Prestia and Gold Coasts 1st (Melbourne Pick) Pick #8 currently
On trade Pick#8 to GWS for Steele and Marchbank
Vickery - Let him walk hopefully we get a 2nd round compo for him
Dangle B.Ellis, Edwards and Conca for trade if nothing bites Im not fussed if all 3 are on our list for next season.
Free Agent a short term ruck solution lets be honest its the best thing we can do in a shit situation
Take Pick#5 or #6 to the draft
Take Vickery Compo to the draft and draft best available young Ruck
While we are at it let Rookie a Ruck from the VFL, WAFL or SANFL
In my honest to God opinion I would trade Cotchin before Deledio. Deledio is all class and even with a shit body he is much more of a match winner
than Cotchin ever will be. Deledio in our forward line could be 50 plus goal scorer.
