2017 trade/draft thread

[Monocle]

it's like someone offering pick 17 for masten !

Quick where do we sign .

Please make this be true .

 

[frenchconnection]

Look in my opinion, even if I hated a team I would still jump at the chance to play for the other team if my brother was playing for them. It's not just playing but training and hanging with your brother every day is something I couldn't pass up.

The only thing I've heard is MCGovern Snr doesn't want his 2 sons to be playing for the same team! Not sure if true, but just passing on what I've heard.

 

[frenchconnection]

Hopefully we've done the legwork before the end of the season so he doesn't nominate Freo

I've heard (via the Adelaide Big Footy site) that both teams are into him, but they also seem to think if Mitch should leave Adelaide that he's more likely to go to Freo. Not sure if they really know of course!

 

[Glenno18]

Found this list on footywire and I'm assuming it's accurate. The contract expiry year is after the name. Of the players out of contract at the end of the year I wouldn't resign Petrie, MacKenzie, McInnes, Hill, Lecras, Priddis, Brophy, Butler and Tunbridge. If Redden was out of contract he'd be out the door too. can't believe we gave up a first rounder for him. Some of the rookies that haven't been sighted yet might also deserve the chop. Since I don't watch east Perth and the match committee would rather play duds like Butler and Hutchings I guess I'll never find out.

Redden has a contract for next year, doesn't he?

I'd take the hit and pay him out.

Why?

This year we should move off the main list

Priddis, Butler, MacKenzie, Lamb, Le cras and hopefully Masten. Likely Karpany and even Hutchings.

So why move on a contracted player with so many others going?

#sendamessage

Because he's possibly the worst player I've seen represent the club. Fraud and I don't want him in the jumper.

Karpany and Lamb should stay. Masten should as well.

How would Gaff have high value ??

AA in 2015 and named in the 49 man squad in 2016

Hasn't been able to replicate that form this year to be fair but if you don't think he has a high trade value then you're an idiot

He was never the same after that Jonas hit. Really tentative with everything now and I believe that's the reason he fumbles as well. Picking up the ball is a big problem because he's worried about whos coming the other way rather than the ball

 

[Dark Sharks]

Anyone else think that Lycett is the perfect trade candidate we have now?

With the emergence of Vardy (someone I've been very impressed with and I'd say is up there as one of the biggest positives of the year) we're not going to be playing all 3 next season. We have surplus to our needs, just like we did with KPD's.

Vardy is the perfect backup ruck to pair with Nic as i think he can compete well in the air and play forward effectively.

Lycett is clearly more suited as a number 1 ruck, and he's still got some trade value.


Would love to cash Lycett in and recruit another project ruck. Still got Giles contracted as backup too. All i know is Lycett or Vardy playing WAFL next year is going to anjoy me.

 

[archiemoses]

I reckon Freo will have a crack at Jeremy McGovern.

Ryder will be 30 in March (Lobbe 29 in February) next year, Lycett to port for SPP? We can throw in Redden too if they give us a late 2nd rounder or something in return. Otherwise prefer to keep Lycett considering NN is returning from an ACL and that Vardy has been very injury prone in the past.

Perfect trade candidate?

Not with his growing injury history, he's heading towards being a handy set of steak knives but with dodgy handles.

 

[Obeanie1]

We need to go hard but smart.

Retire: Priddis, Le cras, Butler.

Delist or trade: Lamb, Hutchings, Masten.

Free agent moves out: MacKenzie

Free agents in: Johansen $750k, Motlop $600k.

Trade in: Matera for Masten and McGov jnr for our 2nd rounder + ?(Redden)

Retain our first round pick

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-06-02/whos-on-the-move-every-free-agent-analysed

David Zaharakis - 27
Nat Fyfe
Daniel Menzel
Steven Motlop - 26
Jack Trengove
Jasper Pittard
Dustin Martin

Any worth there?

Fyfe and Martin would transform our team and make us a contender next year.

Motlop, Zaha, and pittard would all add something decent to our side with pace and skills we lack on the flanks.

Trengrove worthless. All are young enough for us but none are likely. Any of the better 5 would be a coup just for salary space imo.

Vardy was developed as a forward for Geelong iirc, think he could be valuable as a KPF especially if Darling were to look elsewhere (can't comment on that). IF Vardy can stay out there and put in a big pre-season, playing together with Lycett and Naitanui could be a very damaging combination. The club stated they saw Vardy as a flexible long-term player when they took him; might not necessarily mean full-time ruck.

Plus, we could just as easily lose one to injury.

Think we just need to draft well, really. Not going to get much unless Gaff wants a trade.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

We need to trade for players this year, the draft looks shit this year.
Its supposed to be a draft for KPF this year, but most KPF are not looking great.
Its looking very shallow draft so far, it may change once the championships are finished,
but not liking the talent at all.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

What about Jarrod Garlett former GC sun who came home for family reasons and is now playing for South freo . He was pick 15 and showed a bit at afl level before quitting to come home at the end of last season .

He would be an astute pick with a late national draft pick .

He only just turned 21 and has blistering pace and also ran 14+ beep at the combine in his draft year

 

[Obeanie1]

Complete BS if you ask me.

Guess we'll see.

All indications is Cripps wants to be a one club player. Next captain material. So where is this bs rumor coming from?

Most rumours stem from outrageous desperation.

So probably from wherever my missus is from.

WA talent very down but interstate it's meant to be strong .

Is Kelly from gws a chance to come over the us if he was on the move?
Just thought he would help our modfield.

His father Phil is a West Australian so you would think he might have some sort of connection (and maybe relatives) to the place. We should as a minimum make an enquiry of his management and be prepared to back it with enough bucks to make it worth the kid's consideration. He is a beauty!!!

$750 for back flanker is well overs. Norm Smith or not, that money is for mids, up the ground, or kpps.
