What's everyones thoughts on obtaining Mundy? Injects instant grunt into our midfield and onfield leadership probably at low cost considering his age
To old.
He would never leave Freo.
We asked the question about 5 years ago but obviously no luck.

naaaa, he has to much experience and skill and talent for us to even consider him. Look at our record, we dont go anywhere near can do players and opt for the Lonerrgans, banfields, Petterds(with all due respect he did ok), Chaplins and Hunts...so he defeintely doesnt fit the bill for our needs. I mean wtf are we going to laugh with and bag FFS?

We should be targeting Witts.
He would be our #1 ruckman if he came across.

B.Ellis for Witts and Broomhead? Maybe we would have to chuck in a sweetner

I read a few pages back that one of posters, Bob maybe? wouldnt trade our first pick this year, say 5-8 for Prestia? Is this a serious post. He is a dead set gun and the chances of drafting a better mid than he with our first pick is 50/50 at best IMO.

I would trade our first for a proven young gun any day rather than tackle to draft.

I think I'd trade a pick from 5 on for him, but if we end up with a top 4 pick I don't think Prestia is worth that without a pick coming back the other way

No brainer. Clearly the first rounder is superior than Prestia.

Anyway, RFC has made news.com.au and afl.com.au in regard to the hilariously deplorable list management situation RFC is in.

Seriously, I would be surprised if some of the experts do not decide to commit some of the operators at RFC.

Who are worse, the bad operators or the sheep following them enabling their own enslavement?

Prestia is not a dead set gun and even if he was we do not want a dead set gun. We want a dead set gun in the future so we want a draft pick. It is a no brainer.

If we want a gun get Hurley and Heppell because they cost nothing.

Paying a first rounder for Prestia is like paying a second rounder for Hampson and 2 second rounders for Yarran, sheer lunacy!

I am waiting for someone who knows what they are doing at RFC so I can follow them with confidence!!!

Hell I might actually support someone at the club if I can actually believe in them!!

Bringing in a mid with speed and great clearance ability in Prestia along with another big bodied mid in Steele, plus using Vlastuin through there more would give us a very strong onball brigade, allowing Edwards to play a lot more forward and Grigg to play a lot more reserves

Prestia is easily worth a top 5 pick. The Hampson and Yarran trade comparison you've mentioned is the only thing that's lunacy.

Vickery is not worth a 1st round.
Not a top 10 pick but anything after that he is.

We should be targeting Witts.

Horrible deal for us. Broomhead and Witts are no good at this stage.

Pretty much answered your own question here. Prestia is likely to be better than most mids that come out of this draft but you can almost guarantee there will be a draftee taken from picks 5-15 who is a better player than Prestia thus Bob would rather take the risk.

I wouldnt take the risk, Prestia is proven, young and a gun in his own right.

WTF are you talking about? Is Prestia another player you have formed your opinion on based on 20 seconds of footage? Seriously, are you saying Prestia isnt even worth a first rounder at all?

Do you even football :drunk:

Shane Edwards is not an A grader people.

Only one player who gets under 18 possessions a game who should be classed as one and that's Cyril.

He simply doesn't do enough often enough to justify it and IF we can get a piece to help us improve in an area of deficiency, say Ruck, or nab us another first rounder, I'd be happy to let him go.

Keep repeating it. Cotchin, Deledio, Martin, Riewoldt and Rance. They are our core who can't be traded. Build around them.
Josh Kennedy, Goldstein, Gawn, Talia, Jack Riewoldt, etc

Prestia is a very good player. The only way we would be kicking ourselves over trading Prestia for a pick is if the pick turns out to be in the class of Fyfe, Dangerfield, Cripps, etc. and the chances of that are highly unlikely, especially when you consider our track record in drafting and development.

Also, if we draft an 18 year-old, it will take him about six years to start hitting his peak. By that stage Deledio, Jack and Rance will all be retired and Cotchin and Dusty will be over 30.

I really don't see the point in using our first rounder unless we're seriously considering a rebuild. In that case we may as well trade out Deledio.

Our 2017 draft will probably be okay even without collecting a bunch of high picks because we've got Patrick Naish, Bailey Lambert and Josh Broderick as father-sons. I don't know a lot about them, but I'm pretty sure Naish and Lambert are projected to be first round picks at this stage
Inb4 AFL announces 2016 will be the final year the father-son rule is allowed.
