'Sort out our defence'
I would try and push for a trade for Jake Lever, as we are sorely lacking in the defensive department. The midfield is stacked and the forward line is not too bad. We also need to delist some of the least-used players or try to trade for picks so we can lure Lever.
- Joshua Donnell, Devonport Tas
'Bring in the big boys'
Key position players are essential at both ends of the ground, so that would be the first area of attack in the off-season. Midfield and ruck stocks are quite considerable at the moment, so there is no need to go after players in these areas. Players like Adelaide pair Jake Lever and Mitch McGovern would be targets down back, and a handy second forward to possibly be an option or back-up for Darcy Moore and Ben Reid.
- Jesse Hone, Mooroolbark Vic
'Get Goldy'
Bring in Todd Goldstein and throw Brodie Grundy up forward, and that way we don't need to target a key forward. Ben Reid can play as third forward or go down back that way. Jake Lever is a must. Without a first-round pick we have to get creative.
- Abraham Herasan, Sunshine West Vic
Dream trades
Steele Sidebottom and a first-round draft pick to Gold Coast for Tom Lynch.
- Taylor Harrison, Melbourne Vic
Shaun Burgoyne for third-round draft pick.
- Paul Davis, Hamilton Vic
Matt Scharenberg and Scott Pendlebury to Adelaide in exchange for Jake Lever and the Crows' second-round selection. Steele Sidebottom and Collingwood's 2018 first-round selection to Gold Coast for Tom Lynch.
- Steve Merry, Northcote Vic
Second-round draft pick and a future first-round draft pick to Gold Coast for Peter Wright and second-round draft pick.
- Jayke Lloyd-Roeby, Diggers Rest Vic
