Using the points system as a rough guide, Crows mate here is offering us pick 44 and a fringe mid who can't get a regular game in a side with clear midfield deficiencies.
Where do we sign!

OK - so you expect two first rounders for Rockliff. I guess he stays where he is then.
BTW, If you have a thread specifically for your own discussions (ie not for opposition supporters) maybe title the thread better so people know. Good luck with the off-season ... I'll step away slowly now - I can get cheap insults on my own board

Where did I say I wanted two first rounders? You're the one making ludicrously unrealistic trade offers, don't drag me into it with silly straw men. One first rounder might be getting somewhere close to non-insulting but you offered a mere 10 spot upgrade on a second rounder (equivalent of pick 44 on the points scale) and a SANFL player.
Dude - a little extra reading on your part would have identified the "Opposition supporters post here" naming convention, obligation is on you to read first!OK - so you expect two first rounders for Rockliff. I guess he stays where he is then.

As for cheap insults, you come onto an opposition board and propose a trade for an AA captain of the club that is clearly way unders and then wonder why you get a less than positive response.....

2016 Trade Hypotheticals (Opposition supporters post here)
It was in the top 10 threads on the front page of the board, for what it's worth.
If the lions accepted that deal, then the situation regarding Rocky & the club must be extremely bad.
Furthermore, if that deal was on the table, I would assume that other clubs like the Saints would be knocking on the door with a better deal. As he is under contract, the club has no obligation to trade him and I would expect that we would be after 'overs' not 'unders' for him.
If that's the best offer we get, then he won't be traded.
It is worth remembering that he will be a FA next year and if he signs a contract with another club anywhere near the vicinity his management is chasing then we can simply let him go and collect the compensation pick likely after our first rounder.
So I am not sure we are going to give him away for nothing this year when we could hold him for a year and be virtually assured of a top 4 pick next year. Trading him cheaply this year could well be cutting off our nose to spite our face and I hope our new management is smart enough to realise that.

I agree that we should only be trading him if we are getting one hell of a deal out of it. However the issue with FA is they could scrap the compensation all together. They thought about it this year and might think about it again next year. I don't think they would but I would hate to see us keep Rocky expecting great compo if he leaves as a FA and get screwed over in the end
Spot on Quigs
It's either:-
- accepting overs this year OR
- playing next and either (i) extending his contract OR (ii) leaving as a FA and us getting adequate compensation
Isn't a band 1 compo top 10% of AFL players paid? Would be ballsy to think Rocky will get that... he might if he stayed at the Lions as we tend to overpay but would be 50/50 if he left.
Do we even have pick 24? I thought we had picks 19 and 28??
20 & 28 I thought but yeah pretty sure we don't have 24...
Yeah you're right it is 20 and 28.

I thought it was based on percentile his contract fell in at his new club not the entire AFL. Not trying to be argumentative. Just wanting clarification.☺
Top 5% of players aged 25+ in the AFL, which in 2015 was the top 14 players in that age group.

I'm not convinced that CEY offers anything that Jarrad Jansen doesn't.
I'd say he is a more capable type that has some resemblance of being able to contribute on the outside. JJ needs to work a hell of a lot on his spread.

You realise that's from July? It says so on the page and in the URL.
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-09-25/indicative-draft-order-giants-hold-three-picks-inside-top-16
The date on that is the 5th of July, so while it was correct at the time, draft position has since changed.
Edit- beaten by dlanod and Big Sauce.
