What the? Hell no

I like option 2 better.

So do I.

I've been watching a lot of the draftee vids over the last few days, I'm now an armchair expert!!
In all seriousness though, the guy I really like the look of so far is Higgins.

I'm a massive fan of proper footballers, Mark Murphy esq for mine.

Norths saying they would trade pick 4 for the right return. They are rebuilding and one pick doesn't rebuild a list.

Should we trade Gaff and get say pick 8 + something from Saint Kilda how about this.

Option 1: Eagles trade 13 + 30 + 2018 2nd for Norths pick 4 and pick 44.

We then have picks 4, 8, 44 + 48 plus whatever else we get from Saint Kilda plus any other picks from trades.

Option 2: is Eagles trade Masten, 13 + 2018 2nd for Gold Coasts picks 19 + 24 + 37.

We then go to the draft with picks 8, 19, 24, 30, 37, 48 plus whatever else we get from Saint Kilda plus any other picks from trades.

I like option 2 better.

Option 2 if i had to pick one.
I'd rather keep 13 (or get one a bit earlier to guarantee getting Higgins though)

Something's just don't pass the sniff test. Hawthorn? The team without a first round pick. Yeah good luck getting gaff

To test you what do you think of Grian Miers for a later pick ?

Well, at least he knows how to pass to McGovern.

 

[Obeanie1]

So if we were really going for Hogan would everyone be that upset with Gaff + 2018 1st rounder for Hogan?

Still keep all our picks this year for mids, mids and more mids!

Acres is overrated in these parts

Truth be told, I have not idea but I'll start looking tomorrow after work

Just stuck with the guys that keep popping up regularly in the phantom draft/power rank threads that could be around our first pick or so.
Over the next two weeks I'll work my way though like I usually do.

Do you like Higgins?
Who'd be your favourite that could be around at our pick? (or top 3 favs)

Next year we would get band 1 for gaff. Probably between pick 6 and 16. Best guess of around pick 11.

It's a much better draft so I think it's pretty unlikely that the pick would be worse than pick 8 this year.

I think we would be silly to trade him for pick 8 unless he was desperate to leave.

If he did go I would want Acres in the deal.

It's always a much better draft .........

Last year it wasn't.

 

[wraglesweb]

Last year it wasn't.

Truth be known it's hard to really know which crop is better.

Look at Worpel after last year he would of been touted a top 5 pick

Now is a chance to make it to the 2nd round

Thing's change quick............

 

[Bacchus]

If Gaff goes, which I'm not necessarily against, it is imperative that we get something good for him. Like an early first round draft pick, and something else such as Acres, or maybe Hall (GC), otherwise why deal, we hold the whip hand. Trading with Hawthorn is crazy, what have they got to offer. Stratton and Hartung, surely Vozzo is not that crazy?

This is a dangerous game to play though considering it's the AFL and they can change the rules at the drop of a hat. If he genuinely wants to go and we can get something of fair value for him now then I think we should do a trade this year.

He's probably not going to be a superstar but I think he's going to be a good midfielder who can contribute to our best 22 straight away.

 

[Eagles_712]

rookie list chris yarran if he wants to play again. Would be low risk high reward if he can keep his head straight

Yeah fair call

 

[Eagles_712]

knowing how inept gc are a second round draft pick for hall and they will take it

They won't be changing it so that we couod lose him and not be able to match. Potentially the compo cousin decrease in which case we could match. All IMO.

It's a good point you raise though.

 

[dajesmac]

Hoping Gaff stays to be honest but if he goes it can only be to the Saints, surely. Thinking pick 7 would get a deal done if he wanted to go.

We shouldnt be going through the draft, we should be trading our draft picks for solid players. Unless these draft picks come in and average 25 touches a game we shouldnt be doing this. If we do we wont achieve anything. Our best three players are going to be 30, 29 and 28 next year. What does this signals, these players may not be around when these draftees become stars and we are doing what richmond and bulldogs used to be good at and that is draft players who become stars when one half of the team is too old to play

We either trade in players or trade them out....

Romantic, but we would probably draft Kyle Reimers before Yarran.
