I think their need for run/rebounding defender has been filled by that Irishmen, forget his name. But he's pretty bloody good, so doubt they'd trade anything of any worth for a second string rebounder.Even with all his injury problems I couldn't imagine the Cats entertaining that trade for longer than 10 seconds.

Random thoughts ....
We loaded up last yr on picks for this yr for a reason .
Letting Smith go makes 100% sense to me ( comftable with a pick betweeen 30-50 and cap relief ) .. money ball situation . Scully trade has created that ...is on less , is younger AND we paid only in a slide of a few draft selections .
Cogs as RFA looking likely now I'm told .
Patton and Day affordable options.
There's a disgruntled Fwd who may become a DFA we will snap up .
Other names out there being thrown around but Iv nothing on them so I'll not comment
Trade out our 2nd Rdr , why ..... because I'd rather use it in a trade rather than use it to bid on Fin . The loading of picks is for fin and Pepper IMO .
The age profile of our list is changing in front of us as we speak yet the quality to do it remains high ( Mitchell , JOM , Chad, Scully , Scrimmers ) ....
the build is in full swing and it's got an ominous look about it .
JMO ..
Roughead as good as he has been for you is cookedAlright lads I thought I’d try my hand at one of these hypotheticals. Keep in mind the picks are not exact and within a rough range. The whole thing does revolve around us getting Cogs.

We have Scully, and Whitfield is still rumoured to be on his way in 2020.Don’t have a replacement*. Won’t get value in the trade (although Trade for a player is a different proposition. Trading for a Pick around 25-30 is what I’m most objecting to).
We have Scully, and Whitfield is still rumored to be on his way in 2020.
Henderson will stick around.What is the club going to do with regarding Henderson? Surely he gets a new 1 or 2 year deal giving his form. This is a player who's going to win the clubs best & fairest award!
We have Scully, and Whitfield is still rumoured to be on his way in 2020.
That’s the thing: Whitfield & the % certainty we place on his arrival.Henderson will stick around.
I’m talking more about where we will be in 2-3 years time.
We should have plenty of cap room, no? You assuming Coniglio will come to us ? Otherwise I wouldn't mind looking at it for the right trade.I wonder if Melbourne would entertain trading Tom McDonald? Perhaps given their lack of forward talent, and the fact his trade value is rock bottom, they might hope he returns to his 'brief' forward form of last year. I'd imagine they would see themselves contending in 2020.
But anyhow, he literally looks horrible this year, in pretty much all facets of football. His confidence is completely shot and they aren't doing him any favours playing him at the AFL level presently. That said, perhaps at 26 years of age he could be an option for us to play as a key back.
If he was available cheaply via a trade, the problem would be absorbing his salary. If you weren't offering Melbourne a decent trade, then they'd have to benefit as a salary dump. Anyhow, placed in the Hypothetical thread as it's totally that.
Not sure what drugs you are on, but can I have some.
No way is Ben Brown a better player than Lynch.
Lynch a much better in the forward 50 arc.
I suggest your opinion would be vastly different if Lynch chose us, and 900k would be the right price.
If you wanted to extract Brown fm North then you need to be putting 750-800k on the table.
No i was never a big wrap on the guy he lacks one thing i love in the big forward that is heart!
As for the argument of lynch is a much better forward i will disagree they are very similar not saying b.brown is the answer buy any stretch he is a better kick for goal than lynch and arguable a better mark, on the ground they are both average players.
That sort of money should be kept for once in generartion players ala Buddy who we all love and miss.
As for north the rumour is the direction there headed Goldy,Cunnington,Brown will all be offered up at the right price.
Cunnington is a beast, not sure they let him go. Geelong will be all over him if he’s any chance of leaving...
We should have plenty of cap room, no? You assuming Coniglio will come to us ? Otherwise I wouldn't mind looking at it for the right trade.
There's a disgruntled Fwd who may become a DFA we will snap up .
We’d be better off combining Harley Bennell with Pablo Escobar than trading for Cam McCarthy.Nice work there HBD
I’ll throw some darts...
Cam MCCarthy - is the first one that makes a lot of sense considering the headlines this year. Fremantle would only trade.
Wyllie Buzza - possibly looking at a log jamb as a KPP at the cats but with Ratta going down he may get an opportunity
Callum Moore - not sold the Tigers are prepared to give him up just yet
Jack Silvagni - May be considered disgruntled & struggling for opportunity but he would be traded
My money....
Nathan Hrovat - small forward with pace. Doesn’t mind a tackle. Can kick multiple goals. Can play higher up the ground.
Pretty good Poppy replacement
Nice work there HBD

Seeing how Bombers don’t have first round pick could we do the unthinkable and offer our first round for Daniher if we thought we could get his body right, I know a big call
You would only consider if you had Cogs as well I would have thoughtI'd do it just for the melts on their board
Contracted till 2020, though, so unlikely be facing delistmentI'm thinking Hugh Dixon from Freo. Tasy boy that supported Hawthorn, only 20 and is a 196cm key forward that finds himself behind Hogan, McCarthy, Taberner, and Lobb.
