2017 trade/draft thread

Doesn't really fill a need though..

I would say he does with the loss of Schoey/Gorter this season and Emac only having a few left.

Yeah but Allir would cost some picks..Rather we stuck with Schofield as backup.

A single Mark Lecras bitchslap was enough to put him on his hole.... not sure that's a great reference

 

[avishka5]

Anyone see any potential in wa ruckemn Cameron leorsch at the suns. I know he's mates with Barrass and Darcy Cameron. Potentially could develop him into a decent back up ruck I guess.

 

[Abed]

If wce got Kelly in this scenario that would be great trade even if Myers stayed injured and Colyer was in and out of team ..

The further we go in the finals the more unlikely it becomes.

 

[Obeanie1]

There is definately something going on. I reckon the club got wind of something so they lent on Priddis to go.
Iv got a sneaking suspicion that North Melb will go pretty hard for Andrew Gaff if they land Dusty.

What will they do if they don't land Dusty.

Because he just re-signed with Richmond.

 

[Obeanie1]

If we resign Emac for two years then maybe we could look at Schofield to the Cats for a third rounder?

He can come in and cover them after Mackie and Lonergan's retirement. He's also a Geelong boy and only 28 so he should serve them for 2-3 years playing Mackie's role.

A 3rd is all we would get as the Cats are chasing picks so they can land one of Deven Smith or Hopper.

I'd be enquiring if our 2nd could land Menegola as they need picks to trade.

Blicavs is another I would enquire about. Would be a very handy big winger / 2nd ruck option and been in and out of the side since the 3rd man up rule came in.

Schofield plus our first say 11 or 12 to the Cats for Menegola plus Blicavs plus Geelongs 2nd pick 34. May need something else to even that up but it depends on how desperate the Cats are to clear cap space and get picks to trade. Cats 3rd instead of 2nd or we throw in our 3rd.

Blicavs has quickly become a fringe player at the Cats but adds something quite different to our midfield mix.

We only do this if say Gaff looks for a trade and we get back into the first round.

I don't see how our second wouldn't be enough for menegola. Still pissed the club didnt draft him.

Surely North will chase Kelly pretty hard now. Doesn't bode well for us.

Thanks Kangas for making Richmond fork an extra 200k out for him too.

 

[Chris_6678]

Unless he wins a flag dunno why you would go to north.

I can see Kelly signing a 2 year extension with GWS to chase a flag. He'll still get well paid and Norths will need two years more rebuilding. Then he can move for the $$$.

 

[Biggie]

Yeah Kelly will surely re-sign with GWS

It seems we are gonna hit the draft hard this year. I think at least 5 picks in the ND. We all froth over our first pick but we need to nail our second and third rounders too.

At the moment we have picks 11 28 46 65. Dropping down a few spots after academy & FS bids, compensation picks etc most likely around 13 32 52 70. First two rounds 13 & 32 are good picks where we will take the best available. 52 can be used for a need & 70 is just throwing darts before the rookie draft. This year the first round seems pretty even from 5-20 then again to 20-40.

Seems we should trade a few fringe players or even role players for picks around 30-40 and or positional needs. Masten & Schofield may still have value. Sheppard, Cripps, Lycett are best 22 that play in easy to replace positions, and those looking to go home Mutimer & Karpany (possibly) could get us late picks.

Delist Lamb so he can go work in a surf shop

Because his father played for north during the 80's.LOL.

Blicavs is one of those awkward players that doesnt have a set position. He's nowhere near good enough to play midfield (did you ever see Cox & Naitanui?), doesnt have the foot skills as a wingman and cant play forward or back

A big no for me

 

[Abed]

Because they can pay him a bunch of cold hard cash? With the offer to Martin they've shown just how much they can afford to spend.

We wont go best available with our first picks we will chase the best mids available. No point drafting a ruck with pick 13 or a tall defender. Bradshaw or Clark.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Meh, he's out of favour with the coach, barely played in 2017 and they've still got Rampe, Melikan and Grundy who've got them in the finals.

I reckon we could get him on the cheap, if we were inclined. He's an exciting young player, just needs to reign in some of his flash sometimes. Clearly that training he skipped or drinks or whatever off field act it was has punted him right back down the pecking order.

A decade's worth of second round picks who did not play for us on the weekend:

2007 - Notte, Selwood
2008 - Swift
2009 - Weedon, Stevens
2010 - Lycett
2011 - McInnes
2012 - (none used)
2013 - Karpany
2014 - Lamb
2015 - Cole
2016 - Rotham

Yeah but he would cost a 3rd rounder which i would rather use on a Liam ryan or Kell from South Freo

Would be flabbergasted if he doesn't end up at north.Only obstacle will be if North can give GWS the picks they want.I am sure his father who played 62 games for North will be in his ear.The only slim chance West Coast have is that he may have some relatives over here.His father Phil and uncle Lance come from Busselton and played for East Perth.

Wow. That is damning.

Although objectively speaking, Selwood and Lycett can be considered relative successes. I am also a big fan of Cole and Rotham. Too early to write off Karpany.

But good post - we definitely need to improve in this respect.
