I could be wrong but my mail out of Collingwood is that they are fixed in pick 6 but I have no idea who it is.
I have heard the rumour about Schache in a 3 way trade and it makes some sense but the issue how do collingwood deliver it.
I wouldn't want Scharenberg involved but it's hard to see how he's not. It's certainly the simplest solution and if he has indicated to the club he will go next year then you'd pull the trigger. Otherwise getting Broomhead, Aish our pick 36 and / or 2018 picks could maybe solve it.
In all this also have to wonder where it leaves Mason Cox. If we did get Schache would we look at trading Cox for a pick from Lions and then package that up with some other stuff. It's an about turn but it's an option I would think about. You could sign Spencer as a back up.
One kid from Adelaide I'd like is Wigg. Just what we need.
The other issue is the drums are still beating around Lynch.
If as Scodog suggests there was a 3 way involving Pies, Lions, Crows I wouldn’t see a need to involve Shaz. I’d imagine it would be something like:
Pies get Schache & 16, lose pick 6
Lions get Cameron, lose Schache
Crows get pick 6, lose Cameron & pick 16
Involve shuffling of later picks if needed.
Personally I’d prefer 12&18 for 6 and Crows / Lions can just go 19 (assumed for Rockliff) for Cameron and shuffle picks. Or just keep pick 6.
After delisting McCarthy, Schade & Keeffe we must be getting at least some KP depth somewhere.
