Think they'll just take the pick 40Wood & pick 40 (after Saints receive Goddard compo) for Banfield
They need a backup ruck.

Surely now the pies have sorted out their second ruck issue, they should go for someone who can take kick outs and give us a bit of run out of defence, this is surely a massive area we need coverage in.
The Herald Sun report card has us ranked last in % of kick ins scored by opposition, Leon Davis' old possie needs addressing!!!

Thoughts on who could fill this role and is possibly tradeable?
No deal...Wood has to be part of that trade!Think they'll just take the pick 40![]()
"We'll take a 3rd rounder from you guys instead."No deal...Wood has to be part of that trade!

Clearly if we get a 1st rounder for Wellers we will use it in the draft?
Yagmoor is a quality kick....just needs size.
Not a heap out there in regards to gun kicks I would have thought.
So lets say Dawes stays and Wellers goes....that's the feeling I have anyway.
We have replaced Taz with Lynch.
Need 3 picks in the draft, say pick 18 (WCE), pick 19 & Pick 40 (Stewart).
Any chance of picking up a recycled player with our 3rd round pick?
no we wontYes the thing is that we will have to use our first pick for Stewart otherwise someone else will snap him up.Kp player are hard to get.
no we wont
you are daft if you think we will use our 1st round pick on stewart.
Believe me if we want stewart we have to use a first round pick,ours i mean not what we get for trading.Our pick 19,cos if we don't another club will get him,he is KPP NOT A MIDFIELDER.kpp's don't grow on trees
I'm starting to honestly think this could be the club saying to Dawes that we don't require him anymore, but instead of saying that to the media/other clubs (and making his trade value 0) we are making it look like he himself is leaving for opportunity elsewhere. It gets us a better trade, gets him a bigger deal and pay cheque and it cuts him off our payroll. Win for both parties.
But with that said, there's surely no way that we're already going to put faith in Paine (or someone like Keefe who arguably isn't a forward) to fill his role and thus exclude potential depth for one or two roles. Paine has hardly proven to make a proper impact and hold his spot... yet. We must surely have a Dawes replacement up our sleeves?
Tippett! Come on down!
P.S Gee it would be weird on this forum if Fevola was still a potential target!

With say pick 18 from west coast we could use in the caddy deal but i think Carltank will beat us cos they will offer their pick 11 or12? So we miss out there,but we can sneak in Giles from GWS FOR PICK 18 PICK 19 for stewart and pick 40 for a midfielder,Either someone from the draft or someone like a Salopek,gysberts .
Dont foprget next year we have ball,the caff,keefe coming back as well they will be like new players.
who is left that is any good?Could us losing Dawes and Welligham mean we go after another Free Agent?
who is left that is any good?
most are incredibly mediocre players.
