Son of a gun from the Dogs has to be either Wallis or Libba. Hoping it would be Wallis, do like him as a player. Ess want everyone as we saw last off-season, not too concerned about them and their interest in Shiel. Wallis would come here knowing he has midfield minutes waiting for him.
The Port one though is too vague. Polec would be fantastic but too high of a price. Hartlett may be a good shout. Travis Boak though, this makes sense. Out of contract next season, from Vic and ties in with the "targeting of a captain" rumour we've recently had. Could be anyone though.
Agreed.
However just hypothetically, how would people feel about this:
Trade 1: Pick 1 for McGovern and Adelaide's first (pick 8)
Trade 2: Pick 8 for Polec
Net Result: Pick 1 for McGovern and Polec.
I think some will shout this down but i would be open to it and is extremely realistic...i see Adelaide and Port both agreeing.
As we know pick 1 is no sure thing to be an AFL star and we already have plenty of A grade talent kids imo...they just need help to develop into stars.
McGovern and Polec will help us immediately and are in the desired 22-27 age bracket. It's good list management to spread our age profile and not have too many 18-21 year olds. Polec in particular has been outstanding this year and will help our ball movement.
Add them to Shiel for our 2019 1st and our team is completely transformed.
Keep in mind we can still nab some gun kids with our PP and second rounders, so we're not trading out of the draft.
Actually i think this would be an amazing outcome for us.
