2017 trade/draft thread

[swannies]

You're not talking about the Qualifying Final are you? He dominated that game in the first half and in his only other game against Swans he got 32 touches.

He is a much better option than his team mate Patmore who gets all the attention.

I don't recall it being a domination. If he got a mountain of possession it didn't equate to jack. Patmore did more damage, IMHO, but I wouldn't be drafting either, in the main draft. Maybe rookie, would be happy with that. But I guess, in reality, I don't care because I'm not making the decisions so they can draft who they want and I will live with it.

Masten for Hartung straight swap seems fair trade ..

I would do this.

 

[MaxHunt]

I would love to see us come out and publicly headhunt someone for once. I know a lot of things must be going on behind closed boardroom doors, but i can never remember a situation where a guy has come available and we have made a public play for them

Well we have a few north connections, why not copy their trading process... seems to be effective.

 

[mentalgrind]

We tried to move him on last year and he refused

Strange then that we gave him a 3 year contract extension mid year, only a couple of weeks before banishing him to the WAFL for the remainder of the year. List management and the coaching group seem to be on totally different pages.

That is if you believe the talk that we tried to get him out the door last year.

Hartung is legitimately a masten clone at this stage. Massive tank and good link up player, but my goodness is his decision making woeful.

Two of my best mates are hawks supporters and called for him to be dropped many times this year. They are also pretty keen to see him traded

I personally don't think he will add much to our team, and at this stage isn't worth chasing

Some draft combine stuff is flowing in:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-10-05/bonar-turning-heads-with-stunning-combine-results

Standout performers
Smartspeed 20-metre sprint
Jack Petruccelle 2.87 seconds
Kane Farrell 2.90
Aiden Bonar 2.90
Ben Miller 2.91
Nick Coffield 2.91

Smartspeed agility test
Kane Farrell 8.10 seconds
Ben Miller 8.10

Nathan Kreuger 8.21

Standing vertical jump
Aiden Bonar 89cm
Kyron Hayden 82cm

Bonar enhances his reputation as the ultimate boom or bust prospect and apparently he might be there at our 2nd pick.

They had the right idea selling the farm to try to get Dustin Martin

Are you talking about Masten? He signed up prior to the start of 2016.

Masten signed a three year deal at the beginning of 2016 back when he was considered best 22. He was dropped to WAFL in 2017.

Keep your eye on Ben Miller - he is a tall forward that has developed a decent ruck skill. I would be happy to pick him up with a later pick.

These ones?

Haven't Seen a lot of Kelly, but doesn't appear to use his left when he should, anyone comment on this just an oversight on his highlight tapes?

Agree with this 100%. At WAFL level has time and space to straighten on his preferred right foot as shown a few times on those highlights. Won’t have the same luxury at AFL level. He’s not Chris Judd after all

So much this, he appears to be paralysed once he gets the ball. Maybe just PTSD from a Clarkson spray but I personally would avoid like the plague.

Isn’t this what desperate teams do? No point in going after players publicly if you cannot convince them to come to you.

Looks like Charlie Cameron has asked to leave Adel as well

I've only ever heard he is destined for Brisbane.

Adelaide

The place to not go.

With all due respect 80% of AFL players can't use their non preferred. A huge number of them are no good on their preferred. Bit of a non issue these days to be honest as there is so much uncontested play in the modern game where you have time to get to your preferred option.

Well yes... it is fair, a spud for a potato.

It would still be a poor decision.

Did you try a search engine? MAybe try a variation of his spelling such as Boner.

Let us know how you get on.
