He'd have to be a real Drongo to think we need Chapman on our list, I'd pull Goo back from retirement than have Chapman on their list, shit why did Geelong off load him wake up he's shot.

Agree. The bald-headed one is too old and broken. Goo played more games than Chapman this season, and I thought Goo kept showing it every time he had body contact this year.

Playing list manager for a second, ignore this if you're not interested in a bunch of complicated hypotheticals that won't happen.

It seems that Essendon are not satisfied with pick 22 for Crameri, and given that Essendon are supposedly interested in Sewell, perhaps we could facilitate a three way trade between the clubs?

Something like

WBD gain: Crameri, pick 52 (Hawthorn)
WBD lose: pick 22, pick 38
ESS gain: pick 22, Sewell
ESS lose: Crameri, pick 44
HAW gain: pick 38 (Dogs), pick 44 (Essendon)
HAW lose: Sewell, pick 52

Then looking at the Savage trade, I don't think we will be able to gain Carlton's first round pick, even as an upgrade on our first, so inevitably, I think we will get 28 and some pick swaps. I don't think it's fair but it is what it is. Sav wants to go and I don't think we'll force his hand unless Carlton are unreasonable.

CARL gain: Savage, pick 38
HAW gain: pick 28, pick 29

Then finally there is the Longer trade. I don't think our first on it's own would be quite enough. And with Brisbane's list situation, I think we could also offer Grimley in a trade. Some will shout me down but remember when Lisle was the next big thing? I'm willing to gamble that Grimley won't be much special at AFL level.

BRIS gain: pick 19, Grimley
HAW gain: Longer

Now I'm aware that convoluted trade scenarios made up on BigFooty never actually eventuate but I just did this for a bit of fun. Ultimately this would leave us with an overall of:

IN: Longer, pick 28, pick 29, pick 44
OUT: Savage, Sewell, pick 19, pick 52

Ultimately with Franklin, Ellis, Guerra, Osborne and Bailey not being on our list next year, we would end up going into the draft with picks 18, 28, 29, 34 and 44. Possibly upgrading Langford/Ceglar if we think we're better off delisting a couple more players.

I am sure you have done a lot of work to put this together. However, reading it gives me the losing feeling.

His hamstrings are shot. Will struggle to get games out of him, definitely not 15!
Does that really matter? Our time is right now and he's a proven match-winner. Especially now we've got free agency there's no need to use fourth or fifth round picks speculating on unknowns. I see it as low risk high reward and even less risky than either Dew or Lake were.

Haven't been following McEvoy much, but i have full faith that the recruiting team know what they are doing, considering our previous trades, and i'm sure he will be good for us.

Anyone been following the big guy and got some comments.
