Recruiting EFC Trade/Draft Talk II with F/A rules in OP - Billings for a fourth rounder the latest rumour

[Lore]

At least this year no one can use the PSD against us... unless Freo manages to win the spoon.

 

[Fear Boner]

So we are favs for Prestia and Neale according to bigfooty

Can't wait till we get Corey Enright or Jimmy Bartel after Geelong delist them

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

As far as I know prestia will end up at melb and neale adelaide?

3aw and some posters on bigfooty have us ahead with Prestia due to the guy McKenna link

And some Bulldogs poster said Essendon / Neale is a done deal

Because they barracked for them as kids? Not sure that's the be all and end all for where players end up.

 

[yodellinhank]

Is it really a threat though? Seems to get raised every trade period by the fans and the media but no one of meaning.

Who was the last player to request a trade to the wooden spooners?

If by some tank freo finish last I don't see any trade getting done for McCarthy

Apparently Tomlinson did last year

I just thought him wanting melbourne was a BF rumor, I thought all the noise in the media was that he wanted to go back to Adelaide.

On prestia, aren't his family couterie members or something? And considering they are also a club interested in him. One thing that sits well for us is that they don't have a first rounder for this season do they?

Personally would love prestia but for a future pick.. I think he's an immense talent, and we need more inside bulls like him. Don't think our likely pick 1 or 2 will be a good trade even with something back, and if we used a future we'd be banking on finishing higher with 10+ players coming back + a year of development into younger players.

However still think Patton should be primary target. Would prefer to get him considering the rumor he wants back to melb and giants not having the coin to hang onto everyone..

Tomlinson with 52 touches and a goal in the neafl

26 kicks
26 handballs
11 i50s
5 rebound 50s
3 tackles
5 hit outs
1 goal

Dodoro do your magic....

 

[BrunoV]

The only seemingly realistic target that I see any point in bringing to the club is Patton.

Watched Talyor today, for example, and could not help but laugh thinking that his name had been suggested. Disposal is deplorable, he is mediocre.

If you're small there are two non-negotiables: first is that you must be gas and second is that you must have immaculate skills.

Don't rate small, one paced inside midfielders, period. It's a dumb list management decision to invest picks and money in a player that just makes the midfield balance hard to get right. If you don't have pace you have to be big enough to absorb contact and free your team mates.

If we are going to remove ourselves from the draft it has to be to address needs. Getting players who are slightly better than the players we have (which may not last more than 12 months when our young brigade mature) is not addressing a need.

I saw the game, looked very prominent around stoppages as a big inside midfielder. Obviously his tank is massive which allowed him to have so much of the pill. I was actually more impressed with Steele tbh, GWS have got a super player on their hands in him.

This post is 100% correct - Players must be considerably better or fit a specific gap in the list.

He'll be a Ward clone IMO. Would love to grab him before they see his true value.

 

[freddy mercury]

Would love to see Dea, Kelly and Cooney get another year.

 

[BrunoV]

What is Cooney doing in a team with all of our best players? I would not have thought it would be much.

 

[Vindicater]

Out: Ashby, Gwilt, Kommer, Pears, Edwards and Dempsey

In: 5 picks plus Tippa upgraded.

 

[yaco55]

Thought Cooney today in terms of the role he played - Will be marginal best 22 next year - Question is who do you play - Cooney or Stanton or Hocking ?

Stanton, more consistent. If you want someone shut down though then Hocking.

I think we'd still have to give up a high second rounder at least. They took him at 24 so would probably be asking for something similar. Hopefully Dodo sprinkles some magic and gets it done though

 

[quotemokc]

I hope we are not one of the two teams interested in Chris Mayne

and the rest....

 

[Bomberbuzz1]

McCarthy to freo, Neale and Tomlinson/Steele/Patton to Essendon, 2nd round n future picks to GWS so they can keep they're academy's.

Someone is agreeing with my sentiments from the past 12 months?

About ******* time

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I'll be stoked if we get Patton.
