2017 trade/draft thread

[amazingjoshy]

Given the general feeling that we'll slide next year (that I don't necessarily agree with), plus the supposed much better draft...could offering our first next year could potentially net us a top 5 pick this year?
Pretty big gamble and I'm not suggesting doing it, but worth a discussion perhaps.

Worst Scott McKenzie/Cold Chisel mash up of all time. All time!

All these retirees will give us more than enough cap space to give Yeo and Gov whatever they're worth. I don't know why people stressing about this. We lost Cousins and Judd in like a week. I'm pretty sure we survived that

Unless we are getting 2 footlongs it's a no deal

You would love 2 foot longs !

matt_bas is more about the girth.

Well weve done sweet FA since Cuzz n Judd left so have we really survived?

Andrew Gaff's draft profile was scarily accurate

Andrew Gaff (Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro) - Draft Profile


181/78 outside-in midfielder
Similar style to Luke Power
Capable of sustaining a ranking of 3-8 within an AFL list

Selling points are his reading of the play/possession accumulation/ability to find space, neat ball use over short to medium range by left foot and hand, composure, work-rate/endurance, consistency

Tested elite for pace, but on the field it isn’t clearly apparent – he is nippy and I have noted several times he produces some good bursts off the mark to get to the ball, but doesn’t carry the ball or regularly breakaway from players with the ball – perhaps there is scope to develop this aspect of his game, although I don’t think his top speed (short strider) is standout enough to ever be a pacy ball carrier

He is quite agile, can slip into space effectively and effectively sidesteps players

Hands are OK, but not quite routinely clean as you’d expect for a highly rated small midfielder

His style is naturally outside, but he can win his own ball well enough

Queries are his one-sidedness and ‘short game’

Should develop into a good to very good hard running outside link player – perhaps doesn’t have genuine star ability, but there isn’t much doubt he should be an at least good to very good long term AFL player.

Ready to play from round 1 next year and likely to start off well and play most of the season at the right club – perhaps an early rising star nomination? Only about 3-5kg away from his ideal playing weight, which will probably take 2 pre-seasons to achieve.

Hurt like hell tho.

I think Fremantle will struggle to get all their trades done..

Wilson being contracted makes it harder.

 

[mezaire]

For mine....
Ah Chee for our 4th rd pick
Then..
1st rd - Hunter Clark
2nd rd - Joel Garner
3rd rd - best available KPF

[Farang83150]

Agreed, I get pleasure from freo failing, freo are the Milhouse of the AFL.

 

[Suma Magic]

I don't really want to draft half backs who could transition into the midfield. Mids or forward/miss with our first two picks (assuming they are close to best available) please.

Once trade eternity is finished I'm looking forward to becoming a draft expert.

We have had a shit midfield since that time and have yet to recover.

 

[Dark Sharks]

McGovern for Ellis Yolman and Adelaide's 3rd rounder.




Am i too late?

 

[Jako Darling]

I'd trade McGovern to Adelaide for picks 10 and 16.
It would hurt my soul, but it's a smart move for our footy club. (It basically guarantees Higgins AND Clark too).

Hell to the f***ing no

 

[wraglesweb]

Trading Shuey is the only way we will fix our midfield !! Think about it ........

 

[Jako Darling]

What if he demands a $1m+/year contract next year as a RFA?
I don't want to trade Gov either, but if the boot fits...

Then you pay the man. He is that good.

 

[kempy]

Tony Bennett, not Scott McKenzie. Scott wondered if you were going there... Tony on the other hand sang:
"The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay'". Of course, it had a different meaning then.

 

[Jootube]

Then you pay the man. He is that good.

1 player, in a list of 44, is worth 10% of the salary cap?

I just don't think that's good practice in the AFL.

See: Sydney and Franklin, Gold Coast and Ablett, West Coast and Nic Nat, Collingwood and Pendlebury, Fremantle and Fyfe. GWS and Cameron.
All between 8% and 10% of their club's salary cap.
For fairness' sake, we'll include Bulldogs and Boyd.

1 premiership between all of these inflated contracts.

Semi bold prediction: Richmond WILL NOT win another flag with Dustin Martin's new contract, Bulldogs WILL NOT win another flag with Tom Boyd's current contract.

 

[Jootube]

Ultimately, great lists (not great players) win Premierships.

If we can trade a great player, to make our list greater, we should probably look into it.
