2017 trade/draft thread

Masten for Matera?

Where do I sign?

 

[KO_KO]

Wonder if the club already has trade deals done so know how many spots they need to fill?

I feel another massive trade deal brewing for us. I feel it in my bones.

David Swallow home for better medical?

 

[ArdentEagle]

I watched Trengove's return game last weekend. He's all class but he's quite slow. Not sure he adds much that Redden doesn't already

He'll never be fast but it was his first game back after a long time.
Give me class over speed any day.
I think he'd be more than useful, especially with more games under his belt.

What about the Collingwood lad?

Sam Butler would like to announce that he is not doing any press conferences until the end of 2018.

Haven't seen Thomas play before tbh

I agree Trengove would be handy but just wary of having him, Redden and Sheed in the same midfield

I know, it's Gossage being Gossage...but it is good to think about. Plus he stole my idea about 5 pages back.

gossage is a thief need to sort him out joshy!

good on priddis for being unselfish now we can get a decent player or two

 

[Broken_Chairs]

The author of Mitchell's looming biography, Glenn McFarlane, reported on Friday morning that the 34-year-old would soon announce his retirement, effective at the end of the season.

On AFL,com now

bit of a dick move, jumping the gun via twitter before the guy's officially made a statement

 

[The Original Swooper]

I guess you guys are going to scour every corner of the land for mids ? Losing Mitch and Priddis in one hit will hurt your depth ? Who do you have developing ? Would either of Lukas Webb or Mitch Honeychurch help ?

It's a bloody good idea.
We should be major players in drafts and trades this year.

If memory serves dajesmac was into Honeychurch at the time? Someone round these parts definitely was

 

[Hap Hapablap]

think we will now be heavily active in drafting and trades

have a sneaky feeling well get a decent free agent.

Who do you have in mind? The free agents are slim pickings left now apart from Martin.

Agree on the trading and drafting likely to be busy.

 

[Patron]

We have sooo many spots to fill now and not enough picks... desperate to get some on ballers with two of our 3 starting on ballers gone. Shuey, Sheed, Redden... need to add at least one to that this off season I think. It's concerning.

think we'll pinch martin in the 11th hour. for some reason i feel we'll offer him ridiculous money to come across

 

[jesterwester]

Plenty of stop gaps available around if we felt like we needed or wanted a short term option while waiting guys like sheed/DV/partington/Duggan to develop into full time midfielders.

And given how we have gone this last year- it wouldn't surprise me if that guy was 30+.

Goodness me, Andrew swallow is going to be on our list next year, isn't he...

he'd be a long way from his dad- he wouldn't be able to pop over for weekend flights to New Zealand as easy as he does now.

I think he will stay at the tigers, just quietly, but keeping them at a distance like they did to him the last time his contract came up.

I don't think it's that concerning. Is Priddis really a starting onballer anyway? Parto and Mutimer will be demanding full time positions next year anyway. DV will also get games. We recruit 1 or 2 established and that's starting midfield and depth covered. It's a much better option then keeping the some old players anyway

Much different circumstances
