Back to handing Carlton pick 18How do you think this thread will be trending in four weeks time
The suggestion that we could offer a second round pick for Jack Martin says a lot about the quality of that article...
Glad we don’t have mid season trades, according to the AFL website we had a list topping 5 players that other clubs should target, mainly from our starting 22 when playing to potential; Gibbs, Jenkins, Greenwood, Atkins and Galluci.
Pretty amusing that the article said we would target Jack Martin for more midfield pace while another club targets Galluci.
I’m sure AFL journalists just see Crows as a feeder club.
Names dropped this year for trade in various media have been frequent and varied; Keath, Jenkins, Gibbs, Greenwood. Essentially anyone who emerges or hasn’t played all the games. The media can’t help but insinuate shipping off Crows at bargain basement prices.
Lachie Weller says hi.
I have watched a lot of Gold Coast games and think they would benefit greatly from those players.
They are like Carlton no point in taking too many young kids. You need balance
those players would be equiv to pick 2. They may or may not want more
I wasn't trying to be rude.I think he was really polite in response.
It was an incredibly implausible trade.
You proposed a second round pick and three players, all of whom were worth third round picks (or so) for the second pick in the draft.
If a club is rebuilding, that's the LAST thing they should do.
That's like saying "I heard you're saving money - let me trade you three twenty cent pieces and a button for a dollar coin."
Have more things doesn't equal having more value.
just out of interest what would you rate JJ, Ratkins and hulk as draft picks?Also - Lachie Weller was a TERRIBLE trade, but it happened because a young first round pick said they were willing to commit longterm to a club that couldn't retain players.
That has nothing to do with a club trading foolishly, and the likes of it will never happen again. You only get one Lachie Weller.
I think a club doing a heavy rebuild (since clubs nearly always rebuild every year, just a matter of degree), they're better off trading a pick 1 for two or more later first round picks to build up their numbers of quality players. There ought to be cheaper ways of getting in experienced players to guide the youth.If you are rebuilding you probably would.

I find it really hard to rate our players firstly due to bias, but also as we are probably too critical.I think a club doing a heavy rebuild (since clubs nearly always rebuild every year, just a matter of degree), they're better off trading a pick 1 for two or more later first round picks to build up their numbers of quality players.

Okay, cool.I would think now
JJ = 3rd - 4th round pick...but maybe less due to his salary
Atkins = 2nd-3rd round pick..I would feel relatively confident of getting a 30's pick for him
Poholke = 4th round pick...this is absolutely spitballing but it could be lower
Ratkins is like a precision instrument that I wouldn't use as a hammer. He did an amazing laser like kick of around 30m to one of our players amongst a bunch of WC players last game.I find it really hard to rate our players firstly due to bias, but also as we are probably too critical.
JJ has kicked 45 goals for the last 4 years, is out of favour.
Ratkins best 22 winger, highs are great but goes missing
Hulk played out of position next couple in line
just out of interest what would you rate JJ, Ratkins and hulk as draft picks?
If Jenkins was 25, then his value would be much higher as time would still be on his side. Atkins might fetch higher but everyone out there knows he is inconsistent even though he is generally best 22 in our team (which in the last 18 months means not very much). Poholke has had a handful of games and has been dropped because he has not warranted staying in - he is getting close to a borderline delist in my view with the other players we have in his position of midfield if we could not get a trade for him..and I suspect the other clubs would see that.Okay, cool.
I probably overate them.
JJ 45 goals a year - 25-35
Atkins 25-35
Poholke 45-60
Take Peter Wright, Ben Ainswoth and Jack Bowes names off the shopping lists, looks like Stuey's instilling plenty of culture into the GCS's.

One of their ITK's has said that the 3 top 10 draftees this year are the next cabs off the rank for contract extensions. Lets see how they go with that...If they all sign on, then Dew must really be onto something up there culture wiseTake Peter Wright, Ben Ainswoth and Jack Bowes names off the shopping lists, looks like Stuey's instilling plenty of culture into the GCS's.

It's a little bit Port Adelaide with the long term deals they did a few years ago (Harltett, Lobbe, Boak, Wingard, et al) - except they seem to have chosen good players.One of their ITK's has said that the 3 top 10 draftees this year are the next cabs off the rank for contract extensions.

I wonder if a club like Brisbane would be interested in Rat. David Noble cool said last year that they have enough top picks now and are looking to bring in a few more established players instead, so would be open to trading out their early rounders.Ratkins is like a precision instrument that I wouldn't use as a hammer.
