**** hindsight!
Let's look at facts!
The draft pick you are masturbating over us getting for Gibbs is less than a 15% chance of playing 50 games!

Dont think we really need a vote for this to happen...
It's more a doggy flap.
Pick 13 is a very good pick in this draft.
The guys who know, Kevin Sheahan, Mick Ablett, Sanderson, have said recently that there is a Top 7 in the recruiters eyes...and then very even from 8 to 20.
With 13 we could very realistically get someone between 8 and 10 on Silvagni's list.
If we are trading out 5 for players, it makes sense to get back highish in the draft.

Now that would make it an excellent deal, Pickett is a super talent, Marchbank will be a gun Stewart fills a gapping need, Mckenna don't know much about?

Yeah i know. Still, we can dream.
Left field, to me, think Ahern. Cant play for a year, but will be very good when rehabbed. Thats left field.

Terry in your opinion who would still be there at 13? I want taranto, but he may be long gone?

Ahern would be amasing! As long as we rehab him in the right timeframe.

Just on Lyon vs Gibbs.....think about guys, Adelaide ar proposing the trade! That tells me, not that i need any convincing that they are aware that Gibbs is the better footballer and by far.......
No way should 13 and Lyons be a considered trade for Gibbs.

We have to take into account that Gibbs may prefer to go for family reasons so holding on to him could be problematic.
OH thanks Captain Obvious
We have to get past all the SOS love but seriously - you set a very low bar.
GWS didn't want these players they were under contract and we did GWS a favour by taking them - we accepted the deal without getting the player we wanted Tomlinson.
Yes they played games for us because yes our list was bad, but getting second rate players is bot gotoing to get us anywhere but mid table at best.
Put Lamb and Sumners numbers together and you might have a player, Jury still out on Plowman and Phillip.
Kerridge and Wright ok, but only good ordinary players and Kerridge is a ball butcherer of epic proportions.
If SOS gives up pick 5 for the group of players mentioned then we've learnt nothing from last year.
Marchbank has hardly played any football in two years at AFL level and barely played any in his final TAC year, he's out of contract and wants to come back to Melbourne a second round draft pick is more than enough for him, particularly when all the AFL pundits are sagely nodding in agreement that Collingwood is only going to give GWS a third rounder for Hoskin-Elliott.

Nathan WILSON could be the other. Word on their website that earlier in year he may look for more opportunity. Got a bit of BANG about him.

Not so obvious given you complained about it. Settle down.
Got to see 2 NEAFL games when away and needing a footy fix, 1 at Manuka (Canberra) & 1 at Metricon. Forgot how much pace WHE has. Speedy Gonzales like. Gets plenty of it, but gee he can burn it. We have enough butchers. So many, even at NEAFL level, have gone past WHE now.
My mail on Pickett is that he's struggling with the demands of being a professional AFL footballer. It's not a talent thing, it's a mental and application thing. When a club posts comments on their website, and I quote, "Some of his training habits weren't we wanted them to be...", and, "...needs to work harder to get his body and fitness up to standard...", it would tend to support that mail. Yes I know he's been injured since April, but he'd certainly have wanted to convince SOS & Bolts that he's mentally up for the challenge that awaits him.
Finlayson is the one I've been told....and if it is him he's not as left-field as you may think. I'd call it a pretty astute choice actually.
I got to see Finlayson & Flynn play twice this year and they both impressed the heck out of me.
Matthew Flynn is another mobile ruck man who when he can't be stuffed rucking anymore goes forward and kicks goals just like Lobb & Patton. Makes me absolutely bloody sick where they find them from. An academy product, GWS had to fend off a bid from Melbourne, so the Giants' recruiting staff weren't the only ones who rated him. 2016 was his first season so his rucking was pretty raw, but 4 months on from when I first saw him he'd improved enormous amount. You'd want to come armed with a pick around the 10 mark to snare his services and forget the steak knives, because I doubt GWS will want to part with him readily.
Jeremy Finlayson is a mobile, rangey, versatile, left-foot KPP with vice-like hands who can play forward or back. Has excellent disposal, especially by foot, and many of his pinpoint accurate kicks result in retained possession whether the intended target is 15 or 50m away. Has a knack of losing his opponent and quite often finds himself in space. Gets on his bike and provides an option by presenting up at the ball-carrier when playing forward, but has very good closing speed and a solid technique when playing in defence. Is a good interceptor, but knows when to mark and when to punch. Has good pace, runs both ways, is an accurate kick for goal and can stick a tackle without requiring a prematch visit to the Selleys factory. Is the type of player who you want to have the ball in hand when coming out of D50 and when going inside F50 to hit a target lace out. Unfortunately he has had to compete against Davis, Haynes, Tomlinson, Marchbank, Corr, Mohr, Himmelberg, Lobb, Patton, Cameron & Stewart for a spot and the impending recruitment of Macreadie won't assist his cause. Is only 20yo and will need 6-12 months exposure in the seniors to find his feet at AFL level, but is essentially ready to go. Was wondering who the hell he was when I first saw him. If you like Marchbank then you'll like Finlayson. In summary, if he passes the medical, yes please!!!
