Obviously being traded is different. Don't see that happening either though.

Looking like it's all but a certainty that one of Schache, Reid or Gunston will be lining up for us at CHF in 2018.
This side is absolutely flying this year, despite dropping 3 winnable games and letting a 9-1 start slip away. We've had decent injuries so far and are fielding one of the youngest teams in the comp. A lot of us, including myself, were not expecting a finals year in 2017.
Top 4 next year if we keep Dusty and get one of the 3 CHF's above.

We need a chf who is also capable of rucking. That'd be my preference otherwise you are looking at a chf and another tall capable of giving Nank a chop out, then we lose some of that ground level pressure. Hope our list managers think this one out and target someone that fits the role come trade period this year

Is Gunston a FA ?
Wouldn't be worth trading for imo, need to give up to much.

I think he's contracted. They really owe us for not matching Vickery though...
Contracted until the end of 2019

Schache can pinch hit in the ruck in a similar mould to Tom Boyd. He's 199cm, so the same as Nank and a willing ruckman when called upon.

Yeah im all for chasing Schache. Would give up our first this year for him.

hawks will be rebuilding though, and they have nuttin thanks to their JOM and Tom trades - they need round one picks

With our track record we will end up with Vickery again

Pros and Cons of the 3 likely CHF targets in the 2018 trade period:
Schache - 1st Rd + 3rd Rd + pick swap, roughly 600-700k
Pros:
Youngest, highest ceiling, ruck assistance
Cons:
Lots of unknowns, potentially expensive
Reid - FA, roughly 600-700k
Pros:
Cost effective (FA), ready made, ruck assistance, swingman ability
Cons:
Injury prone
Gunston - 1st Rd + pick swap, roughly 600-700k
Pros:
Genuine A grader, capable of 40+ goals, invaluable experience
Cons:
Potentially expensive, no ruck assistance, not a genuine pack marking CHF
I think the only way to decide between the lot will be what each would cost us come trade week. The most cost effective of the 3 is Reid, obviously. Gunston is the ready made goal kicker. Schache is the long term investment that I think will pay dividends as soon as he's in the 22.

He's too small if we're looking for a CHF. Only 189cm. Would be a good pickup, but not the answer to our CHF woes.
Silicy is exactly what we don't need. A 6'2 forward who is not versatile, can't help in the ruck and is a FIGJAM.

I wouldn't do a R1 pick for Gunston, keep the picks and back in our new recruiting man.
I just think we need to continue to build depth via the draft. Immediate needs via FA.
So far so good with our superstars no injury concerns but now is the time to start looking at another kpf/kpb and inside mid. Reiwoldt and Rance wont be around for ever.

we need a key forward, and they dont come cheap. I'd pay a round one for gunston
Do people think Miles would do as a sweetner? I like him but if he's not best 22, may as well get somerhing for him?

no worries, agree to disagree. A 3rd tall while very handy wouldn't have been our biggest or most important area to address in relation to mature recruits. Ruck stocks are thin and a genuine kpf is a higher priority.
hes a 3rd tall we need who can run. What is he worth?
Sicily isn't tough at the footy tho. Big difference for mine.
He's def not scared
