Mini Draft - WCE a strong contender

It sounds like RE got some BS information. I rate Brown as much as anyone but to have an opportunity to gain a second best 17 old in the country in return for him would be one of our best trades ever.

Wouldn't be a direct trade for Brown I'd imagine. We'd have to supplement it with our first rounder at the very least.

Don't take this personally but no one cares if you think it is BS.
 
Does it really matter? I swear 30% of all BF discussions are arguments about player x being better than player y. Nobody's mind is ever changed - it's like arguing over which Beatles record is the best.
Hogan is extremely likely to be a better player than brown. He also has many more AFL seasons left in him. And Seargent peppers and the lonely hearts club is regarded by many as the greatest album of all time so i'd go with that.

Yep, a top 20 draft pick in his 6th season, which is about half a career at our club, has managed 50 games. If we get the chance to reset and go again, we should take it.
 
Everyone keeps jumping around saying it would be brown for hogan, thats absolute bullshit. You can guarantee that it would also include our first round pick. In fact i'll take any bets on a 3-1 basis.

What's wrong with that? No one we'll get in this draft with our first round pick is really going to slot into the 22 so no harm done?

Newman and Shep have still got to win a spot too.

No they dont.
 
Everyone seems to be set on Hogan, but surely another young gun mid is more of a pressing need with Darling, McInnes, McGovern and Lycett around, not to mention Kennedy who isn't exactly old. I know we could switch McInnes down back (not that I'm a big fan of that idea) and the latter three might not end up making it, but doubling down with another key forward prospect could blow up in our faces.

I think we'd have much more use for a blue chip midfielder to come into the team as Kerr and Embley retire and Priddis gets into the 29+ range.

With that in mind we'd probably hope that Martin is available, otherwise Sheed or another midfield prospect.
 
Yes it seems that Josh Kelly has maybe passed Martin as the preferred choice at No 1 amongst the VIC clubs leaving Martin , Hulk Hogan or Sheed as our choices at mini pick No 2 . Dont think this will happen for WCE because Brown loves it at WCE , is content and happy in Perth and wishes to stay for good .

I was referring to the Hogan U/18 vs Darling U/18 argument....
 
Why would I take it personally, in fact I appreciate you speaking up on behalf of everyone and providing their insight to me undoubtedly you are most qualified to do so.
Don't take this personally, but that's a really douchy thing to say.

Please just stop and stick to the topic. If you don't have anything positive to contribute then go away. Thanks in advance. :)

no1bankteller, I should of been more clear it would be brown and probaly our first pick to get that second minidraft pick.
GWS want a key KPD and brown is one they have targeted.

It will be a hard sell if WCE go for it, as Brown does love Perth, and is Glass's natural replacement when he retires.

I personally think its a gamble I would take, as its the opportunity to get more elite talent at the club.
Whether WCE see it that way is another story.

GWS were interested as well last year, weren't they? Along wth Masten? They got Palmer, so they're ahead there. :) Tell them first draft pick and Brown and forget the mini draft, we'll just have Coniglio thankyou very much. No? Not that easy?:confused: Dammit.

Damnit, GC will just have to do that trade for harley bennell then swanny..... or david swallow.
 
Jesus I hope we snare one of those three in future....preferably the former black duck
