2017 trade/draft thread

[bird_man]

What's your take on if we added in 30, as some have mentioned??

As supporters we always tend to expect more than what is a fair trade

Probably closer to the mark, but I just don't see us trading Acres. He signed a long term deal the year he came to the club and is finalising a deal to extend beyond 2018 as we speak.

We are also looking at bringing midfielders in not trading them out.

 

[bird_man]

Even with 30 included we win big time there.

We should definatly ask and push but pick 8 and then some pick swaps later in the draft in our favour is more likely and equitable.

Agree with this

Wants Darling traded because he's a serial under performer in finals, then says we should have an open cheque book as Luke Parker could be avalailable.
Why are Sydney wanting to get rid of him? Because he under performs in finals...

Both Darling and JJK have played 11 finals.
JK only has 3 more goals.

Darling really gets mislabeled.

 

[Suma Magic]

They can't get him for free in a year. He is restricted.

If we would get band 1 compo (a certainty) and we finish mid table (likely) then we wouldn't match.

JJK is constantly triple teamed in finals though whilst Darling has been known to drop simple uncontested marks.

Wants speedy midfielders...advises throwing the chequebook at Alex Fasolo

Acres & 8. The dead man's hand.

"If we are talking 'dream trades' offer disgruntle Suns' superstar Gary Ablett a house in Cottesloe, the Eagles captaincy and name the new Perth Stadium after him."

Yeah I'm sure that will fix everything.

JD was our best forward over the two finals

"Has been known".
He dropped One.

I have only a handful of players which I believe are untouchable on our list.
Kennedy, Shuey, McGovern, NicNat, Yeo, Hurn and Darling.
The rest in my view if the right option appeared I would certainly look at seriously.

He also mentioned we need a crumbing fwd, which would be Fas.

Should definitely go after Fasolo

On the weekend? Because I'm fairly sure he dropped two just on Saturday

You wouldn't trade any of them for Cripps and pick 3?

(basically what we got for Judd)

The system is a meat market and if we have to give up players to get what we need then so be it.
I was however talking our current best 22.

Not any of them for Cripps and pick 3, let's face it we are not going to give up JK, Shuey, Gov or Nic for him. Hurn is to old and Yeo won't want to be traded again. Maybe Darling???
I would give them Duggan and Gaff.

 

[bl4ke]

Lists Gaff as an untouchable, then puts him up as trade bait. Which is it campaigner?!
Also has Jetta, Snadden, Bayok, Gorter, Rotham as delist candidates. No consideration given to contracts or kids in their 1st year on the list??

Foster truly is an uneducated numpty.

EDIT: I wasn't even finished reading the article. Goes on to talk about trading for GAJ!
However if his talk about Parker is remotely true, I will publicly apologise to the dummy.

FWIW (nothing), I believe rookie listed players only get a year contract. So he is right to list Snadden, Bayok and Gorter. Still a terrible article

 

[Forward Press]

No player is untradeable. If Brisbane offered pick 1 for Naitanui I'd take it.

As it is that will never happen.

I wouldn't take pick 1 for Nic, pick 1 is no guarantee it's a hope call.
I would only trade Nic for a Dangerfield, Sloan, Bonts, Martin type of player.

 

[boondy]

How good would Darling and Kennedy be with a good midfield.

I seen different posters say the same thing on bigfooty every week

I guess we should have taken Kevin Sheedy's offer of every single one of GWS' draft picks for NN from a few years back.

 

[bombard]

Would feel way more comfortable trading Gaff than Darling.
