2017 trade/draft thread

[Scotland]

Dylan Shiel pls.

Willing to trade any pick or player. We have enough tall defenders, injured ruckmen and spudly mids. We can spare one of any.

 

[Monocle]

Zac Merritt is another gun small mid at 180cm. If Higgins is a capable mid and a crumbling forward to boot, id be more than happy to have him. Is he quite fast Monocle

Nothing wrong with his pace, gets separation and has a quick burst of speed away from traffic.
Also has good closing speed when he tackles.

 

[Natho]

We all know we'll pick up a vanilla type player

 

[Godfather32]

McKenzie is unrestricted free agent isn't he? Wouldn't net us much compensation either I imagine. Maybe Schofield as trade bait makes more sense.

He's restricted

 

[ArdentEagle]

Higgins profile reads like Daniel Kerr...Would that comparison be fair?

 

[Monocle]

No where near as explosive as Kerr, more grunt running style a bit like Hannebery at the Swans, mixed with some of Neale from the Purples.

Barra on the news tonight reckons that it's understood up to 12 players could be out the door......

Now I will try....

Hill
Butler
Petrie
Mitchell
Brophy
Mackenzie -free agency ( stays hopefully)
Lecras
McInnes
Lamb
Gorter
Snadden

Seems a possibility for sure !!

He's just counted the players that aren't contracted. Wellingham could be added to that list. That would almost cover them all.

Who are we going to replace all these guys with? 12 guys is a lot to have to pick up in the drafts so unless we have our eye on some unrestricted free agents that's a lot players to leave.

Could have added Tunbridge also .

Yeah won't happen

Gorter will stay as will Lecras and Snadden also but you never know .

 

[Byron_Clanger]

With little to no pace with average kicking skills who's a little undersized. Sounds like the perfect Eagles, to me!

 

[WCErevival]

Yep true. Could be a complete rookie list clean out.

Upgrading Watson would be a chance .

 

[Godfather32]

Upgrading Watson would be a chance .

Do we need to upgrade him though? I'm not sure how the new rules work next season with Cat B, but regular rookie listed players don't need to be upgraded anymore, I believe we can just play them.

 

[WCErevival]

I was going to say the same. I think Watson is a high chance of being upgraded.
4 or 5 ND picks
3 or 4 rookie picks
Maybe a free agent or 2.

I think we will get close to 10 changes overall

If we delist Ten players upgrading Watson would be a logical thing to do .

So if this is right and we do get rid of 12 players does everyones light on Simpson change? Maybe they're really trying to avoid the North Melbourne situation? I feel as though we are reverse Norf this moment

I think Simmo is great he is modern fantastic bloke had his own IT company in Melbourne with P Bell..... he said tonight there is going to be significant changes but they are scrapping for a place in the eight but changes are coming........

 

[Barney44]

I heard there will be up to 35 players delisted.



Is that how Barich does it?

 

[chaddy22]

You forgot that he he needs to be in a moonboot and liable to miss the first 15 games of the season.

Do we do logical things though?

Not normally but he must be a chance to be upgraded.

 

[Godfather32]

Yeh I'd be happy to see him upgraded. I was keen on him earlier in the year but he hasn't shown an awful lot since coming back from injury. Hopefully he comes good, he's the kind of player we need.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

8 players out of contract plus 5 players on the rookie list = 13 players who'll possibly be delisted.

Barich can't even add correctly!
