Hope we get Matera. It really is just about the price, but I am struggling to remember the last time we "overpaid" for a player.

Feeding Weller (Wilson) and Walters (Matera) more into the midfield play is a terrific strategy with far-reaching implications for us. We simultaneously become more potent from the defense, through the midfield and in attack.

Matera deal already done. Move on to other target .

Matera for Sutcliffe. Or pick 55.

Wilson we'll need to pay overs. Possibly a future 2nd + and upgrade somewhere in later rounds in favour of GWS.

Get whatever we can for Suban, Balic, Sheriden, Sutcliffe.

Take pick 5 to the draft.

Somehow attempt to land some future picks from clubs, although I did just suggest giving up future 2nd.

Do that and we've had a good post season.

Land a couple of other WA boys like Mountford for nothing and we've done great.

Land a left field trade and we've possibly done excellently.

I still think we go hard at Jack Martin as part of Matera trade.

GC currently have a stack of 2nd rounders and will likely get something around that mark for Ablett.

Pick 5 for Matera and Martin + upgrade one of our 3rds for one of their 2nds and that would be an awesome deal. That may also give us the pick to land Wilson.

I'd love a left field trade that involved someone like Martin.

Full moon today?
At risk of getting howled down myself, a local journo who I won't name, has this morning revealed that Nathan Wilson wants his manager to accompany him to today's exit meeting with his coach as he doesn't think the coach will like it when he tells him he wants to go home....

Spot on. We become better from defense, midfield and the quality of inside 50's/attack should be better because of it.

I promise one poster I don't want to put a negative spin on one particular player here .

Taking "pick 5 to the draft" and "go hard at Jack Martin" are mutually exclusive aren't they?

I don't think we should lightly trade a golden ticket like pick 5, but everything should be on the table if it is to our advantage. We saw last year that in the circumstances that a club like GWS find themselves that can happen. No way should we have a closed mind about pick 5.

Yeah I meant if we can take 5 to the draft and land Matera and Wilson would be good as neither of those players should have pick 5 associated to it. I see that as a good outcome.

Landing a left field surprise would require a left field trade. So pick 5 or we aren't immune to having someone want out. I mean if hypothetically Mundy wanted to play out 2 seasons in Victoria what would that net us.

Pick 5, 40 and Crozier for Martin, Matera and 25? We'd be silly not to pounce on that sort of deal.

Sounds like the wheels are in motion. Colin Young leaks in the post season are quite predictable.
Wilson is a good get if a suitable trade can be organised.

Isn't his manager Colin Young? ie, the one person in football who is actually on speaking terms with Kim Hagdorn?

Schloithe is definitely a better fit for their 'gamestyle'. If not them, then Geelong.
nice. subtle.
I was going to go with Sloithe is just a ducking sack of shit and a prize wanker who will fit in perfectly at The Eagles in their ongoing quest for mediocrity.
