2017 trade/draft thread

[new breed]

What's the issue with Tom Lamb?

Just taking his time to mature but has the skill , pace and huge tank to play AFL and this is probably the reason West Coast will probably keep him another season or two especially as we are having a clean out this off season = opportunities for youth .

 

[Dylan82]

As for Lamb - I think his future lies in being used like Lynch does at Adelaide. Has all the necessary pieces to become a very good rebounding defender that would be capable of zoning key forwards.

What would you expect trade wise?

What would you expect trade wise?

There's a poster on here (few pages back) that has the inside word and advised that he's about to sign on for another year. Moving into his own place in Perth, so seems to be settling in.

 

[Monocle]

What would you expect trade wise?

Not much hence he is probably worth more to us than anyone that we would pick with a punt on with a fourth rounder , so unless he categorically wanted out I would think we will keep.

Has the tools just needs not apply them consistently.

To answer your question a late third rounder and realistically thats not going to happen.

 

[Gugs9]

Exactly what we need, a small fwd that can kick a bag. If we can get him cheapish would be a good get

Anything but Chris Mayne

Not true. Manage to trade him back to freo at a profit and you can have him for free. The lols would be worth it.

Surely they wouldn't be that dumb? Surely?

Surely not but a man can dream.

I imagine they've front loaded fyfes contract pretty hard.

It would be highly amusing, they've been linked to all these players and all they end up with at the end of the trade period is Mayne

 

[Monocle]

I would love them to end up with Mayne, Matera and Reece Conca .
Three WA boys returning home.

Now that would be a Christmas present delivered early .

The holy trinity of crap

Anyone heard the Gaff trade rumour with St Kilda? We trade Gaff for Saints first round pick + Acres

I think we made it up.

You think?

I think Gaff is showing a bit as he becomes injury freer - he is a keeper

 

[JADED]

Saints 2 first rounders (7&8?) will be dangled at GWS for Kelly before they undoubtedly try to shop 1 around.

Unless he nominates a club (or re-signs) everyone will be holding their cards til the Kelly deal is done.

Meh, still too one sided to be completely off limits imo. If the right trade comes around we should make it, especially if he has actually indicated he wants to go home next year.

If Gaff nets us a young bloke who is better than Masten/Hutchings + a top 10 pick, it suggests an overall improvement in the 22. Gaff's not a gamebreaker, he's a hard running outside mid that needs help on defense because he smashes himself so hard. Shuey's the gamebreaker. Yeo's almost there but better suited as a rebounder.

You could, in theory, get Schofield to slim down, and take over the wing role in Gaff's absence. You'd probably lose a little in getting up and down the ground, but you'd gain a marking target.

 

[lewigie]

Gaff for St Ks first and Acres, then our two first round picks for Kelly who desperately wants to come West and only to the Eagles.. I can dream

I wrote it as a suggestion last week haha

 

[Convocation]

Fasolo rumour of heading home growing legs.

Lynch plays centre half forward? You mean Lever?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Contract status?

Contracted for next year.
