I don't think Zac Butters is really on the cards, but for argument sake, let's say it is, what do we have to do to get the trade capital to get him?

Whatever it takes. Sell the Danny Frawley Centre if you have to.

Haynes is a no from me - 31 years old, doesn't play a position of need, would be costly. I don't even think it is worth it if a first round was coming with him and nothing of real value coming from us. In his position I'd rather back in who we already have.

I think he's 28 & will go to Essendon

 

[bird_man]

Well then, we should draft a midfielder who is unlikely to be drafted then - say, someone like Jai Newcombe.
He was overlooked in his draft year wasn't he ? Seems to go OK ?

We can try that for sure. I’m sure if it were as easy as easy to find talented mids late in the draft or in the mid season draft everyone would be doing it though.

We did find Sinclair after every club over looked him twice, good players do get over looked but you have to get lucky.

I think he's 28 & will go to Essendon

The Bible (afltables) says his birthday is 18/5/1992 making him 31 years old.

GWS at the moment have picks 6 & 9, then nothing to 47. I dont think they have any academy kids coming in this year? So for them to give up a 1st round pick would be a big ask, even if they were to get Clark and Hayne's salary of their books. They would also be one of the clubs talking to WCE about their No 1 pick.

For the Saints to take on Haynes reported at 1.2m next year it would put a huge dent in our ability to chase a quality midfielder. I guess if the club were to get pick 6 or 9 in the deal perhaps they think they can get a decent midfielder with that pick? I guess if we miss out on Flanders, Parish etc the draft is the way to go.

Be interested in who we look like bringing out from Ireland? Did I hear that Nick Walsh was involved in the player signing for us? Did he return to Ireland after he left the club?

I don't think we're luring any big midfielder, we have to Draft our talent

With the Draft in mind.
Out: Clark + our 2nd.
In: Haynes + Pick 9.


2 picks in the Top 12 or so is fantastic in any Draft, back Toce in.

Gresham out for compensation, on traded to Freo for Henry.

Surely we're not going for Worpedo

If Flanders, Parish and Smith are out of the question, we should be.
Contested possession and clearances.
Fits the bill.

I can't see any way Giants would be giving up a top 10 pick for Clark, even with a second going back.

Huge salary dump incentive for them is the prime driver.

I'll tell his dad on Saturday at golf that he's 31 not 28.

Haynes is still getting a game each week. A club with enough salary in their cap can pick him up and use him until his contract runs out at the end of next year.

Very different to Bowes and his crazy high back loaded contract. ( i think around $800 000) A player who is marginal to get selected. Think Liam Stocker on $800 000.
...
um...
He's going to rip us apart next weekend isn't he?

Tell his dad to fix the website of his son's employer too.

weird hill to die on. he is definitely 31

 

[gringo2011]

Harmes is pretty average, my Melbourne supporting mates don't rate him at all

If you have Oliver, Viney, Petracca and others he's pretty shit but he'd probably play in our best 22. I don't really rate him and don't think he's good enough to take up a spot. Prefer a Crouch or Mathieson. I'd look at Kai Lohmann, Bailey Laurie types too.

So he was drafted as a 17yo was he , I'm sure you can do the math

I think because Klaatu said "he's 28 and going to Essendon" he actually means Harmes and not Haynes, because that weird headed unit was also being discussed here.

 

[SaintSlayer]

Cordy has been underrated this year. Early in the season he provided leadership and experience to the forward line and now in the backline and in the ruck. Surprisingly, Cordy spent weeks in the VFL when I suspect it was decided to give the younger guys game time.

The experience of Cordy and Membrey provides the separation needed to allow Max and other forwards to shine.

Two first with a second back seems to be the going rate for high end mids. Probably just this and next years FRDPs then perhaps trade back in using Gresham compo and the second received with GC.

Jeremy Sharp might be a good one to look at too.

 

[Joffaboy]

If you have Oliver, Viney, Petracca and others he's pretty s**t but he'd probably play in our best 22. I don't really rate him and don't think he's good enough to take up a spot. Prefer a Crouch or Mathieson. I'd look at Kai Lohmann, Bailey Laurie types too.

Think Harmes is very underrated, but like Dow at Carlton may look good in a very good midfield.

Nah , he replied to Punters post about Haynes

 

[jwikked]

Think Ross isn’t very happy with the list. Almost feels like we are about to rebuild again

I’d be very surprised if that’s the road that Ross chooses to go down.

I don't think a "rebuild" would be as dramatic as the word implies. The way I see it, we're 2 years into a rebuild. It doesn't mean you have to get rid of everyone over the age of 25.
