not the flashiest player but would be a good pick up at the right price, thoughts?
 
No, I think we have too many of the not the flashiest player type.

I want a player extra flashy.

In reading the article on AFL.com (http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-09-09/hardingham-on-trade-table) the name that blatantly sticks out at me is Marty Gleeson who is "unsigned" for next year.

Gleeson is a terrific talent. Thin but skillset, ability to read the flight and pace excellent. I'd jump and aggressively at the opportunity to pick him up. He'd be a regular in our team and I expect a top 15 player on our team. Would be perfect as a rotational defender/midfielder.

Can't say I know how much of a priority Gleeson is to Essendon, before reading that I assumed he would be a high priority to sign. A trade of a Josh Thomas would in our situation be an example of an excellent trade if that could be manufactured to get Gleeson. I'm liking Gleeson's scope to improve and the rate of improvement he has demonstrated. The Pies won't like that he had a poor finals one v North Melbourne seemingly valuing big game performers highly but watching his first half to the season, he's much better than what he showed in his last two games this season.

Paul Seedsman dislikes this idea. He has the skeletor role already at our club

No. Just no.


Seriously, can we stop these threads with people wanting to draft guys that will sit in our 2's and get ridiculed all year. Let's stick to drafting our players and when the right A grade free agent comes along in the next year or 2 we make a play for them.
