Grundy, a 28 year old insurance ruck, Cox and a maybe some project 18 year old. It would be absolutely bananas to bring in Gawn or Leueneberger which would waste money, picks and stall Grundy's development.
Absolutely correct spice.

You don't waste money on having a first choice ruck as an insurance policy for injury.

I don't get why people keep saying it.

I believe Dion Prestia was the mid spoken about yesterday, as us having interest. Very good player but a bit midgety.

TBH if we get Treloar and nothing else this trade period I'm fine with that. If we add another good player then that would be icing.
Agreed. Treloar is priority number 1. Other than that getting full pre seasons into our current young talent and fingers crossed keeping guys like Reid and Freeman injury free is the main concern.

Aish is criminally underrated on this board

If he was a Collingwood player he would be the next Pendlebury

The kid will be a star, just playing for a team he hates at the moment and having some 2nd year blues.
What has Aish done to show that he's anywhere near being the next Pendlebury?!

Cox has a long way to go. Shown great improvement of bits and pieces of doing stuff, rucking or kicking but had very little Idea about reading the play still. Being bloody tall with long arms he's good at getting his hand on the ball in the ruck.

But would give us almost nothing as second ruck forward. And it would hurt his development,

When are you guys going to mark White on a level playing field?
Whites been in the system for 10 years.

He's quality too, let's not forget that. We're quick to forget in the footy world quality in low-ranking teams. You pay a premium to dislodge a gun mid from a decent team at full pelt but GC have been without Ablett, O'Meara, Swallow, Bennell for most of this year so Prestia has become a massive shut-down target.

I still rate Treloar higher but it's worth thinking about if GWS want to squeeze our nuts on the deal. We have some type of relationship with Eade, have some possible Queensland trade bait this year and next and if we got Prestia cheaper we might get access still to two of Carlisle/Motlop/Aish.
