2017 trade/draft thread

[Chris_6678]

Think St Kilda will be wanting to use their first rounders for Martin or Kelly then if not do a deal with Brisbane for their number 1 pick for Rayner. If they still have a first round pick after that then a trade for Gaff / Acres might be on the cards

Wonder if pick 11 would be enough to get Acres? Then they get two first rounders to get one of Kelly or Martin.

Gee surely acres isn't worth pick 11

Love this from the article in The West...

"The Eagles were quick to tweet the news of McGovern’s re-signing at Adelaide, posting a photo of the opposing brothers in a marking contest with the caption ‘The rivalry continues’."

They probably had the picture ready in case they traded him in:

'The brothers reunited'

He was a second round pick and worth a second round pick imo

Worth about the same as Yeo was I reckon

 

[the early bird]

I think someone at west coast should get into the ear of that Dustin Martin kid from the little legends ad

 

[Chris_6678]

He is contracted so i doubt they will let him go cheap. He was a late first rounder at pick 19. So 11 isnt to far off in a draft that isnt tipped to be very strong.

Hopefully Masten is still on their list

Not worth it

 

[lewigie]

Acres would be worth similar to what Sheed is IMO

 

[the early bird]

If Gaff wanted to go home I could see something like Gaff and our second for Acres and their first happening but really we need an A grader for a Gaff trade

 

[Elite Pete]

Had a look at Duggan and Josh Kelly stats at the same age. Very similar, Has to be trained as a mid all pre season and played there for the 1st half of the year in 2018. Don't see us bringing in anything that will bridge that gap of mids and a ruck to put it down his threat will help a lot

 

[pantskyle]

11 for Acres? Am I in some bizarro world where Acres has become amazing?

 

[ziad]

Buy low and sell high - that rules out a few off the suggested trades. we need to be smarter. Acers for our first pick is terrible. Even if our first turns out to be 22

 

[Elite Pete]

I believe Sheed will go bang next year and become a (Matt Crouch) will average around the 30 disp. Will get his chance and time in the guts

 

[new breed]

M McGovern was coming to West Coast untill a new deal from Adelaide convinced him to stay .....from Adelaide 7 news , so dont believe all you here at trade time .

I believe Sheed will go bang next year and become a (Matt Crouch) will average around the 30 disp. Will get his chance and time in the guts

And Redden I reckon

That will depend on Sheed building up his tank and not living to his nickname Dumb Sheed.

And Redden I reckon

Redden has had a very good finish to 2017.

I like Sheed a lot, but he needs to take less time figuring out where to pass the ball to when he's marked the ball or received a free kick. It's really frustrating seeing him taking an eternity to kick the ball. Didn't mind it at first because it seemed like he was just taking his time to find the best option, but it's getting a bit much now, especially on the odd occasion when he ends up turning the ball over. If he can be more decisive he will become a much better player.

Monocle how do you rate Dillon O'Reilly? Could be good candidate for a RD pick.

That would be Stephen O'Reillys lad.
Haven't seen enough of him, but am looking forward to seeing how he plays in the Colts final Series after his last couple of games in the Seniors.
Not sure he is eligible this year as his birthday is June 2000, maybe next years cohort. But his Colts production is very encouraging he just kept getting better and better every week and his ability to hit the score board 39 goals 16 points from 15 games are stats that cant be ignored.

A kid to keep an eye out for a Rookie Spot is Ben Miller from Subiaco, Kalgoorlie kid and at 196 and 92 plays a lot taller than his height I thought he got the better of the Ruck Duels with Sam Hayes in the WA V Vic Metro game. Miller has a touch of the agro / nasties about the way he plays the game and I like that.

How does Dusti Martin sound?
