re Weddle pick swap, based on drafting history strong probability we would have burned one of the 2 x 2nd round picks anyway. So we trade (effectively give?) an extra one away and secure a player in Weddle who we believe will be an AFL certainty. I'm ok with that.

Stratton Frawley Hardwick Scrimshaw Frost Sicily Smith O’Meara Scully McEvoy Mitchell Worpel Breust Lewis Wingard Hanrahan Patton Gunston Shiels, Henderson, Burgoyne, TOB EMG: all the rest Backline picks itself. Mids and wingers same. Forwards a bit of competition. Would ike to see...

Don't know a lot about Aiden Bonar, but some decent judges of the game rated him highly enough to draft him at #11 so must have some tricks. It'd be worth doing just to imagine the look on Jason McCartney's face when GW's number flashes up on his mobile phone tomorrow afternoon......

Patton deal said to be agreed on now, and about to be announced. Dear God let it be a really late pick.

Pittonet on the way to Carlton on a 2 year deal. Maybe for a 3rd round pick (?)

We seem to be in a period of inflation when Daniher is talked about 2 x 1st rounds, Sheil same, Beams same, Gibbs, Lever and the Daddy of them all....Kelly worth more again, being spoke of 3 x first round picks?!? The best player ever to be traded in the modern era was Chris Judd, at the...

I would not like to play him in Poker. Doesn't even blink.

From GW: Not in the race for Elliott Smith a required player and expected to play next year Birchall and Puopolo decisions to come after the trade period - Believe Frost can add to the backline Pittonet has a contract offer to sign.

Could we trade Patton and pick 11 to the GC for pick 2? Too soon? As you were......;)

Last time i can remember there being so much talk about the top couple of draft picks was......2001? We traded our best 2 young KPP in a 21 year old T. Croad and a 20 year old L. McPharlin to get our hands on pick one (and some steak knives / extra picks at the time) The same year (2001) Freo...

I think the only person pushing this is Chris '5 minutes of fame' Pelchin. Still dines out on being at the Hawks during a successful period. Was (IMO) over-rated as a recruiter and list manager. Bucky and GW built the Hawks list far better than Pelchin ever did.

Would be staggered if either of Breust or Gunston left / traded. Would seem dumb to me. Plus they are both contracted and i don't think either of them would agree nor want to go. Can see a deal where Smith goes and we get back something enough to secure Maginness in the 2nd round as a draft...

Finally! With Frost said to be requesting a trade, the question now swirls around to who will be traded out of the Hawks. This is where it gets funky (not Punky)

🤦‍♂️

Yeah....nah. 1. they played in a GF yesterday 2. Cogs is playing for less $$$ than he could get elsewhere 3. they are far better positioned heading into 2020 to win a flag than we are.

Elliott for free, Patton on the cheap and Maginness as FS / second round is a nice start.... Can't help but wonder what the hawks are plotting as we rarely leave trade week without a big BANG. An A grade midfielder would be nice = say goodbye to Pick 10 / 11 Or we go hard at getting multiple...

Back doing what he does best. Great move for the Hawks and Bolts.

Let's stay in 'Hypothetical land' for a few more moments and imagine Anderson was there at pick 2. Smith and our first pick to get Anderson at pick 2 would take a in a heart beat. I can't even (hypothetically) imagine Breust or Gunston being traded. Be crazy. Maybe the carnage Jeff hinted...

Certainly top 10. Plus his value is elevated this time of year by he fact he's available.

Fair enough. I reckon the moderators would be active on some of that stuff anyway. But this is what happens when we don't make finals.....all goes a bit mental by August!!

Guess we'll see. Was enough to get me banned from the Trade / FA thread.

Yeah I guess until it's done, you're right. But then again that's the case with every single discussion on any player at this time of year.

Coniglio goes to Carlton and Hill lands at the Saints. Had this firmed up to me by a Club recruiter over the weekend. So i shifted the post from 'Hypothetical' thread to the 'Trade / FA' thread. And got banned and deleted from the 'Trade / FA' thread..... Ahhh BigFooty.com, don't ever...

Wasn't an insult mate, :laughing:, take it as you like.

Geez that Weller for pick 2 deal has sqewed everything hasn't it?! One of the great trades by Freo - there, i said it.

Yeah even the basic maths doesn't stack up. Gunners being the value of an upgrade from pick 8 to pick 2 = ~ 1,000 draft points, which is the equiveant of pick 16. Valuing Gunners at pick 16 seems ludicrous. Play on.....

My bad. Didn't realize that you were a self appointed arbiter.....maybe take a Bex and have a lie down.

Take it easy mate...we're on the same side...

This. He had more Premiership Cups than career 'hardball gets'.

Given we're in the land of 'hypotheticals'...... There's a scenario where Coniglio goes to Carlton (or stays put) and Hill lands at the Saints. What we do know is that we'll bring in Patton and Maginness and then.... I get a sense that it will unfold like last year when we were all punting...
