Dylan Roberton

[Dudley Leopard]

Apparently wants a trade back to Victotia. 191cm - not overly fast but good decision making and endurance. Would reckon at least a 2nd rounder.

What offer ye?

 

[Wizard]

Either part of a potential Gumbelton deal or part of a mini-draft deal involving GWS in some way is my tip.

Contracted i believe?

 

[BigWill7]

Would rather he stayed, think he could be a good player for us in the future

 

[year of the roo]

Not interested.

 

[TheClokes]

nothing

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Has a bit of potential but since he hasn't actually done too much at AFL level, and since he was a pretty late pick in the first place, I can't see him being worth much or many clubs being interested.

He should be happy to have a contract at Fremantle.

 

[Waite a Sec]

Maybe worth a 3rd round pick upgrade

 

[rgauci]

Geez a 2nd rounder is made to sound like a great pick. It's somewhere between pick 20 and 40. Not that big of an ask.

 

[PenAndPaper]

I'd take him at Hawthorn. The kid is hard at it and a good size, plus he makes good decisions. I would give up our 3rd round pick but only if we didn't get the current targets we are after

 

[Jeremias]

Carlton showed interest last year, so they may have a look.

Was just about to post this. However I can't see us giving up our 2nd round pick for him.

 

[NAUGHT5]

Think getting Bootsma may have ended our interest

Interesting, who do you think the Hawks are chasing?

 

[Kram]

Probably would only get something like around pick 40.

Josh Toy is one we are definitely interested in. Also know that we are extremely interested in trying to get a mini-draft pick, whether we can make it work or not is another thing. We would have to trade a lot before hand to produce something that GWS would want. So i think that would put a hault to any move for Roberton

 

[Wizard]

Seems he has more value to us then he does on the open market, in that case I'd prefer we keep him.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Worth a lot more without that disgraceful facial hair he seems to enjoy sporting IMO.

 

[Scham]

Is there anything official about him wanting to go home or is it just a rumour at this stage?

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

The kid is hard at it

Is he?

Nothing out of the ordinary in that regard; at least from what I've noticed.

I just can't see a second-rounder being changed for him. Maybe an early third rounder, but sides are loath to lose their second-best shot at a player in a good draft. Could imagine him perhaps working out at a Richmond? Richmond strikes me as being a good fit because they have plenty of silky skilled players coming through the middle and could do with a younger big-bodied midfield enforcer (Martin aside).

Midfield? Enforcer?

Try third tall defender or flanker.

Tank not big enough?

That's not true if cards are played correctly in draft/player development. Just from Geelong alone, Bartel, Ling, Chapman, Wojcinski, Duncan, Christensen, Vardy and Stevie J were all in that pick range.

are you serious jeez luke mcguane if worth a first rounder then

 

[PenAndPaper]

Is he?

From what i have seen, he has been hard at it. Admittedly its only been a handful of games but i think he does go in hard

We've got Fyfe, Ballantyne, Clarke, Ibbotson, Mayne

But we've also got:

Pitt, Houghton, Clayton Hinkley, Clayton Collard, Adam Campbell

The range between 20 and 40 is generally hit and miss. Roberton falls closer to the 1st group than the 2nd.
