2017 trade/draft thread

[Godfather32]

Except this time it's a guy that we potentially couldve rookied last year before anyone saw what he was made of.

That sounds familiar

Out of interest , why was Tim Kelly overlooked in previous years? Has he improved that much?

Unfortunately for our club Simpson is looking after himself and his own interests not the clubs Fasolo interest clearly shows that as does Vozzos statement our 1st pick is on the table

So would we seriously entertain the thought of trading pick 13 for Fasolo? Hope not. Hope we get him but for a lot less

The list needs a shakeup. Finishing 7th-13th every year gets us no where if we want to win premierships. If trading Gaff out and getting us a top pick, a young player and get us down near the bottom of the ladder to get some class kids we are very badly lacking for a fresh new crack at a premiership then so be it.

Let's just not be this decades Richmond and be happy with finishing mid table and getting mediocre picks every year.

Interesting, I don't see how the hawks could possibly pull this deal off. The saints on the other hand are perfectly placed to make a decent offer.

Not in regards to Fasolo surely. Was in his interview on the radio on Saturday where they said he should come cheap.

Would want to. Anything more than a 3rd round pick would be laughable

 

[yogibbear]

If we get Fasolo for not much then fine. But otherwise he's NOT worth it when we just gave Lecras ANOTHER year and have Rioli and Venables to all play small fwd next year.

On a Sunday night? Quit stirring shit.

It was on tonight because tomorrow the Brownlow is on.... why would I stir shit ?

 

[Smithy06]

West Coast seem relevant again in the trade period which is exciting. Summary from Footy Classified tonight:

1) Gaff possibly going home to Vic
2) Saints unlikely to keep both picks 7 & 8 and move one to secure a player such as Gaff
3) Jesse Hogan still considered getable by both WA clubs

Perhaps "joined: Sept 2017" is a red flag?

Hogan would cost heaven and earth especially considering he re signed would pick him up in a few years time as a restricted free agent

So because I haven’t been on this for years that’s a red flag ? Alright mate [emoji1305]

The Hawthorn reference makes me very, very nervous, given the talk of Stratton maybe heading home and us having had dialogue with Hartung.
Hawthorn don't have a first rounder and their first live pick is # 32.

Saints on the other hand have picks 7 & 8.

I am open to Gaff moving on...... but only if it gains us good currency.

I seriously hope it’s not hawthorn.... don’t know why we would want Stratton.... we don’t need defenders and he’s only got a couple years left and hartung is like a poor mans masten

 

[Biggie]

If there’s any truth to Gaff it has to be St Kilda.

Has to be.

My only thoughts are that if gaff is indeed leaving it is because he has signalled his intentions a year early and is looking after west coast (getting us more than FA compo). If this is the case then I don't think we will have to worry about the hawks screwing us over. We should be dealing with the saints and hopefully getting a first rounder plus steak knives. I'd say pick 8 and a player as they don't have a second rounder. Perhaps gaff and 13 for 7 and 8?

Also my reading on the GC is that they will be losing some of their highest paid players (ones not willing to take pay cuts even though performance doesn't warrant high pay) and turning to the draft. In the short term they will be requiring solid loyal footballers to help improve their culture. I honestly believe some of our fringe players will be perfect fits for them. They will also have of pile of second rounders and so they might not value third rounders as highly as us. Currently they have 2,19,22,24,33,37 and with players leaving there is only so many picks they can/will want to use. I wouldn't be against trading on pick 13 for a number of second rounders

Gaff and 13 to StK 7 and 8 seems a good deal to me (if Gaff wants to leave why make him stay). Need to use those picks wisely though

That would be a dream scenario

We could potentially pick 2 more A grade mids to complete our mid then work towards our fwd line.

Lobb was at all time value at the end of last year and has not lived up to that IMO. I'm glad we didn't go after him because he would have cost overs.

He was an absolute liability once the ball hit the ground against Richmond and we have too many of those types as it is. Just stood there spectating.
