Not quite.

Once again injuries have forced our hand so these guys, including Sinclair will most likely get the whole year to obtain consistency.

If they do then great. The big obvious on Saturday was once again the lack of leadership in the middle and someone to grab the game by the scruff when it mattered most.

We need Two more A grade or elite mids. And if trading any of the above achieves it, then I'm open to the idea.


Ross for a second would be up there with the dumbest trades we have ever done and we are renowned for it.
 
What do you think they would fetch?


Ross would have to be worth what any other young mid would be worth. Equal or better than Shiel so would be worth at least that. It would be moronic to take one of your best mids to take a chance on an untried mid in the draft though, we need more not less. We would sell him and take our picks to the draft and find a diabetic midget with a leg missing who plays on a half back flank.
 
Yeah right.

We got Roberton and Membrey for free and Bruce for a pick in the 40's.

Plenty of players have become huge assets to teams after being traded for peanuts.

Taking out the games where he got injured, Kent has kicked 3 goals 3 times in his last 9 games.

Unfortunately he only plays a few a year, so some of those were probably 5 years ago.
 
Objectively I agree. But its a need for Essendon and I'm assuming that they don't have the salary cap for a bigger fish, so they lack some bargaining power.
I honestly don't see how Dunstan fits into a midfield of Shiel, Heppel, Smith, McGrath and Zaka.

Even if he did though, you can't expect to get a decent pick for a limited 24 year old that still can't get his way into the best 22.
 
Lets just be thankful your not in charge of our list , Coff , Members and long arn't going anywhere IMO and for some strange reason we signed up Sincs for another Two years , your right about the rest though
lol, just because I think that's where we sit doesn't mean I'd be looking for those trades.

However if GWS was interested in Membrey/Coff to help get us Whitefield or Coniglio then I'd definitely consider it. Membrey is a good forward, but he isn't an AA. He could get there though.

And re Coff, maybe after a year and a bit the club has realised they reached on him, and maybe now they know him better they'd be keen on getting some value for him. Maybe not, but you have to be open to ideas. If we could get a top ten pick for him and the club don't rate him then that's something to be considered.

Sincs signed a 2 year deal but he's not crucial to our set up, especially with Hanners/Clarke to come in. Though I don't think we'd get much for him.

Just because I think these things are possibilities doesn't mean I'm endorsing them.

For example, I love stuv and wouldn't want him to go, but if he wants to get to geelong and we can get an early first for him then we should do it.

Ross is our VC and is worth more to us in that role than the second round pick we'd get for him. Also it would break up the group.

All I know is what we need are elite mids, inside, outside, it doesn't matter, that's what our team lacks most in. If we can get secure one or two we're that much closer to a flag
 
It’s really not a great list of free agents, realistically Tomlinson would be a good get for St Kilda.

He’s not a star but he’s a big versatile guy who covers the ground and averages about 5 marks a game. Over the years we’ve seen first hand how he can be difficult to match up on, he can also do a job defensively. I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the other guys we’ve been linked to. I’m underwhelmed by Martin and Jones especially at the trade price I’d expect them to command.

There’s plenty of good young talent that we could entice to Moorabbin, I’d be sniffing around guys I liked from previous drafts who may want to get back to Victoria. I watched the rep team versus Casey last week on TV, I have to say that I was pretty impressed by the talent on display. It appears to be a good year to have a decent draft hand, it will be interesting to see what we do in the trade period.

Oh snap.

Can't argue with that lol

I think we keep Dunstan or we get peanuts 🥜.

We appear to have found a couple of players at least in Wilkie and Parker with Hind and Marsh still chances to be senior players. That’s a good result that may look fantastic if King and Bytel are able to replicate their junior form in the AFL. I still have every confidence that Clark and Coffield will both be good players for us so I’m actually pretty bullish on the saints at present.

We’ve already seen this year how the addition of a couple of players can really impact a team, even with a lousy run with injuries we’re a better team than we were last year.

Mate , i think your clutching at straws a bit there with the Coff stuff , love you imagination though :think:
 
Acres + 3rd for Ed Langdon
Ross for Parish + 2nd
Dunstan + first for one of the crouch brothers.

Love the Dustan trade but I’m not giving up Ross for Parish and a second, he’s our best midfielder. I also think overs for Langdon.
 
True.

That's just my view. But if Ross was part of a trade for Cogs would you do it?
Of course you would but they would want our first with that. Anyway he will stay. We are better going for top ten on our list players than top one. We are as attractive as me in the trade table.
