It's an absolute pity I didn't play AFL because you'd all be saying trade Pendles to get me. Too busy subwoofering it down Chapel. Women booze forget it re. As a soccer player I was inconsistent BC of this. Now that I'm a lil older I realise my life has all.. been a shoowww. But f it.. wouldn't have it any other way mate.. that's it mate.

Subwoofer on mate!
PaaLease Babe. Real soccer players don't use the word "soccer". Face it darling you were the sub most weeks for Thomastown Rovers seconds until they tapped you on the shoulder and asked you to be timekeeper.

You do look awesome in g-bangers and you know how to install a totally sick subwoofer. That be true.

The bucks bus could do with a decent subwoofer.

I only use the word soccer so I don't confuse posters on here.

And they don't tap you on the shoulder when they don't want ya at the club.. they simply tell you to get f.

Has taken more contested marks this season than Travis Cloke and has played fewer games....

And interestingly Darcy Moore has taken more contested marks than Cloke, Redpath, Stringer, Crameri, Dickson and Boyd put together....
This is the same Travis Cloke that is battling depression this season right?

Also, Cloke averages 12 disposals and 4 marks this year per game with a 1 goal average.

Cox is averaging 7 disposals and 2 marks with a 1 goal average.

Cox simply doesn't take enough marks to be a key forward and he doesn't do enough around the ground to be a genuine ruckman.

He's rubbish.

Your not suggesting Fas for Darling, straight swap? Problem for WC is they need what we do, run and carry. Fas is not what they need.
Not a straight swap, but a deal packaged up with draft picks current and future or involve say Freo and maybe work a Balic into the deal.

Elliot and Fasolo are both small forwards. Despite having good marking ability, their game depends on crumbing/marking on a lead/setting up plays. Medium forwards are ones with strong body work, who are too strong for small defenders, but too agile for tall defenders, which is what Darling is and is something neither Elliot or Fasolo provides.

We have too many players that are good because they have this versatility to go through the midfield, but it's completely wasted and useless when there just isn't a spot for them there. This reminds me of Moneyball, we have invested too much resources into parts of the game that sets up the primary goal of each match, that is kicking goals.

Even if we overpay for 2 goals a game (Why are you using 1.8... Of course forwards are going to score less in their rookie years, dragging the average down), and it's the sort of performance we can expect in the future, at least 40 goals in a season. This 40 goals means more to us than most other clubs, we just need genuine forwards who kicks goals, ignore contribution up the ground, tackling pressure and bs, goal kicking is what we need. Regardless, pick 6 is obviously too much. Perhaps we should just do Sidebottom(If he's happy to go, IF, so those of you that are typing about this being unviable stop it now, all hypothetical trades at this trade)+pick 6 for Lever and pick 17. Pick 17 for Jack Darling (especially fair given his output).

FB: Howe, Reid, Crisp
HB: Scharenberg, Lever, Langdon
C: Maynard, Pendlebury, Treloar
HF: WHE, Darling, Elliot
FF: Elliot, Moore, Greenwood
R: Grundy, De Goey, Adams
Int: , Aish, Goldsack, Thomas, Phillips
I think those deals are viable and the 22 you listed is pretty close to bang on.

However I would line up as
FB: Howe, Dunn, Crisp
HB: Scharenberg, Lever, Langdon
C: Maynard, Pendlebury, Treloar
HF: WHE, Darling, Elliot
FF: Fasolo, Moore, Reid
R: Grundy, De Goey, Adams
Int: Kirby, Goldsack, Thomas, Greenwood

Dunn has shown us no reason to really not have him as best 22 (plus with Goldy on the bench backing up) and I think a forward structure lining up as Reid, Moore and Darling will stretch a lot of defenses as it means one is packing up the third/forth defender. Having a taller forward line means I put Kirby in over Aish as it should result in more lose ball at ground level for a genuine goal sneak forward like Kirby to feed of.

What about doing a mass deal with the suns?
2017 Round one, 2018 first Round pick, Steele Sidebottom and Jt in exchange for
T Lynch, J Martin, one of Pick 22/23/24 (they have em all). Fasolo and 36 for Darling and pick 25?
Forward line lines up as;
Martin Moore Elliot
Darling Lynch Kirby.

Really rate Martin and could see him replacing Wells for us in the next 1-2 years when Wells calls it a day. Same sort of player with skill, pace and vision. The froward line instantly becomes one of the most dangerous in the comp, allowing Reid to go down back, (Reid, Dunn, Goldsack and McLarty developing makes for an ok KPD line up for now). Pies head to the draft with ~23 and 25 to draft KPP, preferably one KPD and one KPF. Overall the side would become;

Langdon Dunn Scharenberg
Howe Reid Maynard
Grundy De Goey Adams
Treloar Pendlenury WHE
Martin Moore Elliot
Darling Lynch Kirby
Wells, Goldsack, Greenwood, Crisp

Fasolo will not get us an upgrade from Darling. If anything we need to pay extra to make sure the Fasolo Darling swap works.

The thing is if we do what you said, what's the point of GC even being in the league anymore? They'd be going through a 3rd rebuild, and their massive point of difference of having elite young KPPs is also gone. Just won't happen even if the deal is fair.

West Coast would straight up laugh at us.

Your team highlights that we need either Sinclair and/or Ramsay to make it.

Guess it depends on how it falls. if Darling wants to leave and west Coast want Fas to replace LeCras that puts Collingwood in the box seat. If Collingwood have the higher ground and may be able to push for a straight swap. Probably me trying to more to the club than is probably realistic.

If it can happen should we really care about the Sun? They amy be more tempted than it seems. new coach would love to have 2 more first round picks at his disposal and if Lynch and Martin even have the inkling of wanting to leave I think they would let them as they have with the like of O'Meara etc.

It's brilliant because I literally was beginning to type that up that we need either of those exact two players to come on, but felt the post may of been getting a bit big overall to start talking about which players we really need to come on.

Subwoofing down chapel huh? admirable, but IS your photo on the wall at Lamb on Malvern taken during a 2am souva stop?
That is the question!

You're looking at a 2 goal per game medium/tall forward vs a 1.5 goal per game small/medium forward. I've no doubt that Darling is worth more, but certainly not 4-5x Fasolo...
Both are the same age. 5 day difference
Darling has kicked twice as many goals (266) than Fasolo (133).
He is bigger.
He is playing in his home state.
He shares a forward line with Kennedy and Lecras and has had the ball kicked to him by Matt Priddis a lot....
Fas's mental health issues unfortunately affect his trade value.

EDIT - To be clear I'm not saying that Fas is not a good player by any stretch, just that his trade currency in that scenario wouldn't be very high....

Pies need one big forward to go with Moore

WHE in my opinion needs be played as a forward, he can be that medium sized defensive forward, the game is going down the path of more mobile smaller forward lines.

Pies are going to move heaven and earth to get Lynch, this has been in the works for 3 years.

Fasolo Lynch WHE

Kirby Moore Elliot

Context mate. Fas missed about a year and a half of footy with navicular issues. The difference in their career averages is 0.5 goals a game.
He is bigger.
Yep, but still undersized as a KPP.
He is playing in his home state.
Not really relevant if he's on the outer at the Eagles and he wants a fresh start.
He shares a forward line with Kennedy and Lecras and has had the ball kicked to him by Matt Priddis a lot....
So you're saying he's had it easier because he's not had to deal with the number 1 defender each week?
Fas's mental health issues unfortunately affect his trade value.
Maybe, maybe not. I'm not arguing that Darling isn't worth more, but I think you're underestimating Fas' value.

Yes I did. I was agreeing with you. In a sense. Darling's worth is literally 4-5 x Fasolo in a trade sense.
Darling is a crab. If we are going to target someone then lets throw everything at a Lynch type rather than waste coin and time on another Jesse or Darling.

I actually didn't mind Jesse but he was never going to be the answer. Just a bandaid until one of our draftees was ready or someone else came along.
