Well to get rich we'd have to give up draft picks, so no chance.

Ignoring rich I think sheed will be around for our first pick. Robertson is harder to judge considering he is missing champs, but could be available for 2nd round. I think all three would be a stretch. Acres 2nd rounder also I think.
We'll see.
There is always plenty of sliders and bolters.
Just don't get hung up on a couple of particular players.
West Coast recruiting have shown time and time again that they have plans unbeknownst to us.

Wouldn't mind trading Mitch brown to GWS for pick 10.
Having two first rounders would allow us to pick up a Garlett Marsh combo
Then in second round go for Acres and hopefully pick up a Robertson next pick.
That pick 40 we have did we nominate to use it this year ?
We'll need to get rid of a few players though, because we have to elevate McGovern, or delist. If we plan to use Bennell in the playing group we may also need to elevate him. So to use 4 picks we'll need to move on 6 players.


Or we could give him some beer and post some pics on Facebook .....
I thought that was the plan for Dayle? Well, my plan. ;)

Understood WCE are already looking to inject some much needed pace into the midfield and are bracing for a list revamp . WA players in Rance , Pears and Hardingham out of contract at the end of this season and with David Swallow , Harley Bennell and Brandon Matera end of next season . This is from the Sunday Times Kim Hagdorn but really WCE just need to take a midfielder with our first pick and maybe Garlett as well and hope for the best , pretty tough to find a quick fix without giving up too much for a top WA midfielder wanting to come home . Also expected that Cox will take a one year extension to play on next season which we all know , Lycett is coming on okay and Sinclair has potential also in my opinion .

This is a good year for a lot of list turn over as the draft looks to have depth.

We'll see.

personally I'm not too concerned with who exactly we get, I don't even think we should necessarily target a wa boy (BA).

So if the choice was one of Conca or Rich - who would it be ?
Well we were very keen on Rich but Naitanui was too good to pass on. I feel that we have a better chance at landing Conca with Richmond now facing salary cap issues with MArtin and Riewaldt, something has to give.

Without actually knowing Rich he seems to be settled and reasonably happy at the Lions. Saying that we do need a bigger bodied mid with good foot skills. I'd offer Rich more $$ and he'd cost more at the trade table.

What's you thoughts on our rookies Turbridge, McGovern and Sinclair?

Turbridge looks like a pacey big inside mid and McGovern we need to upgrade or someone will steal him, Freo most likely.

Which 6 players do you propose we delist? At this stage I would be looking at...

Mitch Brown - trade
Mark Nicoski
Andrew Embley - retire
Adam Selwood - retire
Brad Dick
Dalziel/Hams

Would also trade Smith at the end of this year, but he may just ask for a trade anyway.

I'd delist both Dalziell and Hams and add Butler to the list also. Dick has a couple of months to salvage his career. Maybe Morton could be added to the list, all our current rookies have strong cases for promotion.

Our problems stem from the Woodhouse recruiting era. One where WC just gave jobs to the boys and mates. Woodhouse didn't have a clue and was limited in other ways - we have a plethora of ok-good mids who are all smallish, slow. We don't have the fast outside player or the power mid. Generally we are 8-10cm short across the board and weak in the core. We can only trade our way out of this structural problem and overlay this with improved drafting.

I think we started last year, but injuries are masking our improvement.

Hope someone from the Eagles is watching the Freo game and particularly the goal by Walters in the fourth just now. That is what we are missing.
We are missing a defensive mind set, not a bloke who can snap a goal. The gameplan is wrong, not our forward line.

Masten was a woodhouse pick up - asa family friend. he has developed into an ok-good mid (as per my comment) I dont ythink he iasa No 3 pick.

Regardless my point is that we have a uniformity of vanilla mids (ok - good was my term). we don't have the role players - fast line breaking outside mid, big powerful pack breaking minds. etc. Thus while as individuals our mids re ok - we don't have the components required to win the contest - by bringing the max power (size and speed) to the point of the contest. we haven't drafted a midfield team - juts ok individuals.
