I'd really like this. Be interesting if it's Geelong looking to trade up, or us trade down.

Might mean we are looking at Goddard or Marchbank as KPD rather than Durdin.

14: Goddard
21: Menadue

I'd be stoked. KPD and a speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.
I'd do 14 & 21 for 10.

Since the 1996 National Draft...

Pick 10 has given a club a player that has averaged 49 games for the club that chose him, compared to 65 games for pick 14's.

Some whispers about Dylan Shiel of GWS on the move.

I have an idea he has some kind of Adelaide connection - girlfriend maybe ???

Could he be our GWS mystery man?
GWS in turnmoil.... they are losing so much quality

I would love Shiel, he is the missing outside link that we need

We do have to fill 5 spots on the senior list somehow
rookie upgrades and drafting. not that hard.

Look we will probably do 'something' by the end of the week. I just don't think it will be much.

But I hold up hope of something massive happening - just for the fun ;)

Funny you say that - in the 2004 draft we were really keen on Mark LeCras. We needed a tall forward though. We took Chad Gibson at pick 28 after he 'slid'. Mark LeCras was taken at pick 37...rest is history.

That was always bound to happen IMO. Young kids go there and get 2 or 3 seasons under there belt playing almsot every game, which they wouldn't have go at an established club. As the contract winds down, asked to be traded to better markets where you can get more exposure and possibly greater success.

GWS aren't GC and aren't going to win anything in the nearish future. They are becoming the pension club for the old blokes looking to cash in.

the problem now is what happens to the half of the team that's already rebuilt I.e. Talia, walker , Sloane etc. You risk loosing them through free agency as they get impatient. We can't keep starting again! We are probably only a handful of players off seriously competing
We've never started again I think. We've always just plodded along, either just finishing outside the 8, or (apart from 2012) the bottom half of the 8. The highest draft pick we've had recently was pick 7 and we wasted that on Angwin. If those players coming out of contract, like Talia, Sloane, Walker believe in the system Walsh has in place then they'll stay. Yeah it might mean a tough year next year if Danger decides he's going midway through, but the long term benefits are very beneficial and we could bounce back quite quickly, like the Eagles did under Woosha and Walsh.

You're right. I think they're recruiting strategy was flawed. They had the opportunity to get more experienced players to start with.

Yeah, like the look of this.

Draftees with 14 and 21.

Trade for fringe players with 31 and 50. Backup ruck and defender.

Upgrade Charlie with 68, and maybe another rookie upgrade. Or a speculative late pick at 68 and upgrade Chalie at 86.

If we trade Lyons, another drafted or another trade.

Unless we can get a v good trade with 14 or 21.

So if we bring in Cheney (The only realistic trade we will likely do) does that spell the end for Luke Thompson or Shaw?? or do they see him as additional? Surely we don't need LT of Cheney is coming in as a player in that role, release him to play for any SANFL side that he likes..

Another problem for GWS is their crowds. Average home attendances of 9,900 isn't exactly enticing for young players. Especially when many of their mates are playing for clubs that play their home games at the G or Adelaide Oval, etc.
