Mega Thread Draft Day Supermegaultrathread - It's finally here

Whether he was or not, I'm expecting him to play a bunch of games at the end of the year where he gets a bunch of average possessions and we upgrade him so that we have more quality vanilla to choose our side from.

hope not.He should really have to stand out to get onto the main list

I was joking the whole time by the way about all this, just in case you missed it haha, only saying we won't play for coniglio coz we didn't trade at all last year. trust me I hope as much as you do that Lucas doesn't get upgraded unless he pulls out some hidden talent from somewhere, and i reckon if coniglio is available we'll have a good crack at him

Another very good game for Coniglio and against a top side.

It was an okay game. Coniglio is a nice player but he is not a star or anything. He is an attractive target because he is from WA and he fits out age profile. If we are playing well and challenging for a top 4 position at the end of the year then I guess he isn't a bad option. But if we are struggling then it makes no sense to give up a top 5/6 pick or him.

No much better to have essays over a purely hypothetical scenario 6 months out from it might occur

Lucas adds much more than a few players currently on our list. Don't become one of the sheeple

James Aish and the contract talks - dodged a bullet? y/n

 

[kane249]

Brisbanes current seemingly toxic culture wouldn't be helping. If he had gone to another interstate club he might have been more willing to stay.

 

[MaxHunt]

I'd be happy with Jack Martin

 

[Masto]

Coniglio would not have helped us today. We need Patrick Cripps or someone like that - an inside mid who can win the ball.

Yep, bigger, taller mids like a Cripps.

How tall is Blakey? Seems like a replacement for Mundy / Barlow in a couple of years.

 

[new breed]

I like the look of Lamb but Blakely was a more pressing need

 

[Sweet Jesus]

I don't think people mind the debate about the trade, it's the fact that the bulk of the jibber jabber is devoted to semantic arguments about debating tactics.

I've never ever seen any such debate come to anything fruitful ever. Only way that can happen is when both parties stop making it personal and/or stop taking it that way.

Fair enough.

James Aish and the contract talks - dodged a bullet? y/n

Remarkable comments from Greg Swann.

Basically conceding he'll leave.

Another shit sandwich for Brisbane? Crows or Power to offer their second-rounder in a straight swap? tesseract

How tall is Blakey? Seems like a replacement for Mundy / Barlow in a couple of years.

Apparently 188cm, he looked pretty tall on TV yesterday in comparison to some other players, his height is probably the biggest thing that sets him apart from Waterman, Sheed and Duggan, despite being kinda similar types of players.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Aish is going to be really good. If Port or the Crows tried to offer a second round pick, I'd tell them to eat a D. I mean the Eagles gave up a first round pick for hipster d-bag Sharrod Wellingham.

PSD?

 

[Play by Numbers]

Coniglio should be the priority, but he won't leave.

Mitchell is the other.

At this point I don't care what role they play in the middle, just if they are going to do it well.

Yeah, because offering WC's 2nd alone is what I proposed.

Which Mitchell? Sam, Kane, Tom?

 

[Masto]

Good, we already have plenty of players like Coniglio. I'd rather draft and develop our own players anyway - its what we did when we were good.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Is Yarran back on the cards now? He'd have currency for Carlton who i think will be going the full rebuild after this season.

I'd have Yarran in a heartbeat, straight swap for Selwood and maybe even a pick upgrade... Boom done.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Which Mitchell? Sam, Kane, Tom?

Yes, we should try to lure Kane back to Perth, he'd help us out a lot. Lycett just might make Port interested.
