Official Draft and Trade thread

Andrew maher get your facts right

Too hard for him to do that

 

[Crave]

Cannot stand Maher, Hudson, Hutchy....theyre as bad as Walls and Caroline Wilson. Sheahan, Ill actually bother reading...Lyon is just too obvious for my liking. Schwass would have to be the columnist I enjoy reading he most alongside Buckley and Hird. Looking forward to reading Archer's columns when he hangs up his boots....the few he has written have been honest and spoken with integrity.

Would there be room on our list for another ball magnet in Mark McGough? I know he's not speedy, but he does get it, not unlike Jobe and with the injection of speed that will likely be prominent from us from here on in, we could perhaps use another who can dish it out with his footy smarts. Any views on this?

his is a waste of space

I can see the reasoning but i would say no. His disposal can be a bit ordinary at times and we already have enough of those.
The key part of whoever we recruit is that their disposal is very good!!

Exactly, we dont need another Peveril.

What would you guys think about Ryan Fergusan. His young and his a tall backman he could be handy after fletcher goes.
Your thourghts?
What would you trade for him

 

[cs61]

Have heard that 5 clubs are chasing Laycock. Sydney and Freo very interested but doesnt want to move out of Melbourne. Hawthorn have offered him double what Essendon have offered. Would'nt blame him if he went to Hawthorn as he would be the Number 1 ruckman down there.

Wouldn't have thought we'd go after Laycock, but with Everitt leaving may need some backup on our list.

Taylor is only there for injuries, Campbell is ready for number 1 rucking duties and Bailey is still a year away (but will still play in front of Taylor). McEntee has loads of potential but is still 2 years away.

I spose we could be interested... what would you expect in return? Second round pick? We'll probably try and get that off sydney for Spider and on trade that for another player, whether that is Laycock or not I'm not sure.

I'd happily take a 2nd round pick for the big fella.

He's 25 and can't crack a game at Melbourne but I know our coaching staff wanted him last year. Don't know a whole lot about him, except has great attack at the ball and can play a bit out of his weight division(thankfully cause he isn't very big).

We'll probably look at him again, as would you guys. Hasn't had the opportunities at Melbourne so probably will move on.

Who was the idiot who rang up White Line Fever and suggested trading Laycock for Gardiner?

 

[David_Brent]

Just thought I would drop in and tell you guys that Sheedy spoke to 5 players overhere in Perth on the weekend, one being Gardiner.

Not special news but I would have liked to know if my coach did that.

[David_Brent]

Sorry dont know. Sheedy just told a journalist he spoke to 5.

i am very eager to find who

 

[Bender The Offender]

who is this journalist and who do they work for
also who do yuo think are those 5 players

 

[David_Brent]

It was Adrian Barich who said, by the way he was talking, he spoke to Sheedy personally and at reasonable length.

My guess would be:
Gardiner
Medhurst

Then I dont know, maybe Polak or Crowley (heard he was having issues with Freo's contract or something). I have no idea really.

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

I'm hoping that young aboriginal Peterson. Worth a rookie spot imo.

 

[KING-JAMES]

In my opinion he would have spoke to Gardiner, Mourish, Gumbleton, and a draft pick options. Maybe Dunn aswell.
