Okay, I thought due to many people scrutinizing my trade idea I would resubmit in further detail and add an alternate view. I agree that the trade to GWS might be a little slim so if by some chance a PP (#20) was given then that could be added to bolster the offer.
Trade Gibbs for Port 1st round pick (#8 (1551pts))
Trade #8, #19, (#20), #50 & #55 (total pts: 2979)(w/ PP: 3891pts) + future 1st round pick (#1-4) to GWS for:
The later two of their three 1st round picks (#9 + #12 (2737pts)) leaving them with Collingwoods pick (#5 (1878pts))
Lachie Whitfield - In my opinion he is worth one early and one mid first round pick but would only offer that if deals could be made on:
Caleb Marchbank - Worth a late 1st round or early 2nd pick and some loose change
Adam Tomlinson - Worth an early to mid 2nd round pick
Trade GWS pick #12 + #37 (1751pts) to Sydney for:
Tom Mitchell - Probably on more but may decide to move if the contract offer isn't what he was after.
*
out of contract - Would love one of these guys to do a Nick Stevens and come via the pre-season draft.
"At the end of the 2003 season, Stevens expressed a desire to return to his native Melbourne and wished to be traded to
Collingwood. Port Adelaide was unable to obtain what it considered an appropriate trade consideration and as a result, Stevens quit the club and entered the
pre-season draft. He was subsequently drafted by
Carlton with the second selection in that draft"
We go to draft with pick:
#1 - SPS (outside mid), #9 - SPP (inside mid) & #73 - J.Bradley (outside mid), having accumulated Whitfield (outside mid), Mitchell (inside mid), Marchbank (KPD), & Tomlinson (KPF)
AlTERNATE TRADE - We keep Gibbs & PP #20 if we receive one
Trade #1, #19, #50 & #55 (total pts: 4428) + future 1st round pick (#1-4) to GWS for:
Two of their three 1st round picks (#5 + #12 (3146pts)) leaving them with their own pick (#9 (1469pts))
Lachie Whitfield
Caleb Marchbank
Adam Tomlinson
We go to the draft with:
#5 - Berry, Scharenberg, or Brodie // #12 - SPP, Gallucci, or Clark // (#20) -
best available // #37 -
best available // #73 Bradley
