2017 trade/draft thread

[Eaglespur]

It's quite funny that during the season our own players are spuds and no good and get smashed on here by our supporters.
Trade week comes around and no player is as good as what we have, everyone discussed no matter where they are from is a spud and we are a team of superstars under performing. Very funny stuff this time of the year.

Please explain

Not altogether surprising we are into a ready made ruck as cover.

Surely the WAFL/SANFL/VFL has Better options if we are after a stop gap?

I don't find this time of year at all amusing, least of all on this board.

Ryhs Palmer interested in returning to Perth if there was an opportunity ??

Any takers probably free or very late pick .....

Please explain

Mate no matter what name comes up for trade we think we have the better player in the deal.
At draft time our players are all of a sudden rated a bit higher than they were a few weeks back.

Perth will have him.

Straight swap for Masten, will rival Metropolis for Harding as the biggest nil-all-draw trade in our history.

 

[Monocle]

He is better than gorter

That he is but lets be honest here.......... its a pretty low bar.

 

[new breed]

Not getting a regular game for Carlton so things looking not great I suppose .

 

[Chris_6678]

Last year we were linked to Ballas & Z clarke from freo...

 

[Mickey Rae]

mmm part of our diversity plan perhaps?

If was diversity we were after we would chase Hawthorn's Gibson...

 

[amazingjoshy]

Delisted, wouldn’t be against a rookie spot for back up.

Spencer's a strange call if true. Long way for him to come to sit 4th in line, and he's not young either. 28 next season.

I think the whole board has been consistent in wanting to trade Marsden for a half eaten sandwich or pack of dorito's.

He doesn't really fit that statement. Also people are quite happy getting chump change for Schofield and Wellingham.

Has a sniff of the Giles about it!

Yeah but Spencer comes with a full set of teeth.

I've made a quick graphical guide:

Aren't you forgetting our budding ruck colossus Fraser McInnes?

3 year deal coming up

Dunno about Spencer.. I mean last year Lycett and Nic Nat had long term injuries so Vardy and Petrie made sense but next year we SHOULD have 3 fit ruckman available... So unless we are thinking of trading Lycett who might have some currency?

People in the crowd might get hit in the head by one of his kicks.

 

[dajesmac]

Perth Demons should try hard for Palmer.

Scott Jones.

Already spent the last two years playing alongside Giles, Lycett etc. Big big body and from the Shane Mumford school of making opponents hurt. Can also take a grab and kick a snag, though his disposal overall is pretty, well, ruckmanlike.

Perfect rookie list candidate IMO.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

I said at the U18 champs that Ben Miller would be good for a late pick/rookie. He has developed his ruck technique pretty well and can also play as KPP.
Unfortunately he has performed pretty well at the combine so his stocks may have risen meaning a 4th round might be needed.

Gorter was obviously a back up tall defender when browns contract was reneged and Mitchell was bought in . Collins would be a better back up .
