I also like Cerra but don't rate Constable at all atm. Over time he may become a gun but in my eyes he has the most work to do on improving multiple parts of his game.

News reporting GC to trade 2 and 21 to StKilda for 7 and 8. 7 goes to Freo for Weller. I wonder with/if Stkilda getting 2 it changes who gets taken at 2 and who we take

Gibbs out, Kennedy and Lang are definites, Schache not sure?? We
might also get in another mid like an Anthony Miles type for cover??
SOS is about to weave his magic tomorrow, really hope he nails it
We'd have to go Dow wouldnt we? Pure mid with decent speed is exactly what we need. With Kennedy coming in as well?
Lang is pretty quick.
Cerra has nice size and looks like he will grow another few cm, really clean with the footy, plays with aggression and is a classier user.
Need to keep surrounding our smaller brigade with bigger bodied mids.
Cripps, Kennedy and Cerra, perhaps Curnow.

Am I the only one who isn't keen on Lang at all? I can't see him ever becoming an A-grader..
Do we need/expect an A-grader from pick 58?
We can't complain about our bottom 6 on the field every weekend and then pass up a nice opportunity to make a significant upgrade in that area.

Lang and upgrade go together as well as Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump.
I repeat if Geelong rated him whatsoever they'd do what they could to retain him. Kid is a spud.
Who was the last promising player that they willingly let go?

Laidler
Not keen on Cerra, we need speed from the middle. Dow or LDU please

Caddy demanded a trade.
Varcoe was 26. Not a kid.
Christensen slept with a teammates wife.
Hamling, Carrots, Laidler couldn't get a game. All willingly left for opportunity. All had superior players blocking their path to the best 22.
Lang played a bulk of the season and wants to be a Geelong player. Yet isn't good enough for them to make an effort to retain. Completely different scenario than any of the others.
Carrots wasn't traded

Harley Balic to Melbourne for pick #66 is a good deal, wish we'd used our #58 and grabbed him ourselves.
Yes you are

Unfortunately we can't entice a player with picks. He chose Melbourne, doesn't matter what picks we had.
Wick, you of all people know that it is difficult to just pick the eyes out of a list and attract their A graders. Lang has talent, if he only remains a B grader. he would play a fair bit of footy in any side. It all comes down to what we give up and if that is a 3rd/4th rounder, it is a good deal
Guess SOS should delist guys like Kerr & Macreadie right now

Next years draft is not one we should be willing to gamble with, we could very easily end up with a top 3 pick and that would get us access to a potential franchise player.
Although we could get some extra value by trading our future 2019 pick next year, opposition team could still view us as very good chance to finish near the bottom end of the ladder, but I'm very optimistic that by 2019 we should really be starting to push up the ladder.

That's fair. I just don't see Geelong giving up valuable youngsters so easily without extenuating circumstances as easily as they are Darcy. It gives me massive red flags without the eye test.
If we get him as a consequence of a Lobbe trade or for a late pick I'll be satisfied as that becomes a free hit in all practicality.
My biggest concern is giving up something valuable. Ultimately, I see him as a younger placeholder and giving up something of value doesn't equate to that value.
In all seriousness, as I have been in the past, I hope that I'm wrong and will be the first to admit it. If we land him then I'll wish him well and support him. I wont cheer against him at all or hope for his failure.

Pretty sure Lang broke his leg this after being a regular all season for Geelong. They brought him back prematurely in the SF where he played very well. He then ran out of legs for the return match in the PF. He will be best 22 for us in 2018.
