List Mgmt. Trade/Draft SuperMegaUltraThread - 2016 edition?

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

So Sam Powell Pepper was pretty dam good forWA . Would a top 10 pick be required ?

Great clearance player, but disposal isn't flash and is very injury prone.

Certainly think he has a lot more upside than his brother matt in saying that matt is priddis reincarnate in my mind for later in his career if he develops well. The worse scenario is brock mclean reincarnate.

There's certain players out there who are young enough with enough talent out there that the pieces can hopefully all be put together to hopefully give us the midfield power we need.

Who are the potential targets at this stage?
Aaron Hall - Just been dumped by rocket and would make an amazing wing pairing with gaff.
Brad Crouch - Tough, hard inside midfielder with the ability to break out into space at his best. Dodgy injury history, hasn't strung his best together and suspect disposal by foot when under pressure.
David Swallow - Talent is huge. Issues with knee are as worrying or worse than his upside. At this stage it's almost worth him deregistering from the afl, not playing footy for 2 years and getting direct steroid treatment into the knee.
Omeara - Top 5 in league talent. Knee issues and more importantly seems completely pussy whipped and on his way to melbourne.
Neale - Great inside player. A little on the small side and you would think it's either stay at the dockers or head east. Could a potential shot at success + big money + not needing to move anywhere be a motivation?
Prestia - Explosive in clearance situations but i must admit his disposal seems to be continually getting worse and worse and worse. His field kicking has gone from what i would say is average to downright poor. Also almost certainly headed to melbourne.

At this stage i don't see the point is just mentioning every guy who is a top line or close to top line mid from WA at other clubs as it's pointless.

I'll Vomit if we go after Howlett .....

It seems to fit with what we've done the last few years....

Redden >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Howlett

Redden >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Howlett

Oh yeh, no doubt. I think Redden will come good next year with hopefully a full preseason.
But it's a larger trend over the last few years of bringing in average mids when we should be doing whatever we can to find a star. I mean we're pretty bloody good at drafting and developing average mids, why trade for/sign them as well?

We need a quality small crumbing forward at the draft because I'm not sure if we have the currency to trade for one.

I'm not just saying it because Betts has torn us a new one tonight either, felt for a while now that we need a crumbing forward. To many times over recent years we have tried to turn a smaller forward into a midfielder and it hasn't worked. Get a Ben Ainsworth (if available), Jy Simpkin and or a state league player like Freo and Hawthorn have done with Ballantyne and Puopolo in the past.

Gaff can go home.

 

[salo]

gaff is not the problem.

He can still go home.

Gaff can go home.

Nakia obviously the G man is free to a good home. Still want him at Geeeeeeelong or to busy celebrating your win over North?

Wouldn't they all be? Not sure on their contract statuses.

Yep depending on contracts, brown would seem unlikely to leave tho.seems happy to see out his career in the backround

Inside joke between a member of the Geelong board and myself. Earlier in the year they had an operation Get Gaff on the Geelong board which i was tagged into, incorrectly I presume. Told them in no uncertain terms but with a lot of sarcasm and banter to take a long walk off a short pier.

Would go against anything we've ever done before. Generally we aren't big players in the trade period but there will come a time when we need to relieve ourselves of draft picks to get established players on the outer at other clubs in.

Mid second round.

Gaff needs to go he's too good for this team. We need to fix inside before we fix outside.

I wouldn't trade gaff unless it was a killer deal

I'd buy him a one way ticket out of Perth with a sticker on his luggage that says don't come back unless your playing for an opposition team. Harsh I know but I've never rated him that highly.

Got games under Woosha based on his athleticism and ability to rebound out of defence when we had Glass in the team who could cover Will's man. Was found out big time playing on bigger bodied forwards and I know he had a good 2015 when we lost Mackenzie and Brown but that was as much a structure change and Gov that helped him, also Sheppard

Don't imagine we'd get much for him. Later draft pick at best, maybe like a Cale Morton or Jon Giles situation when we got them over.
