Mega Thread 2011/12 Trade/Draft/Delist MegaThread, now twice as mega!

So, with Ebert as one list change, who else will get the chop?

And how many picks are we going to take?

I assume 2 or 3 draft picks and the promotion of Hams.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Jones is another confirmed one.

Dalziell, Wilson, Neates and Stevenson the other possibles, probably in that order.

As you said probably 2 or 3 picks, depending on what we end up with after the Ebert trade, plus Hams upgrade.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Jones is another confirmed one.

This is news to me.

Jordan Jones is confirmed as wanting out?

EDIT: Brett Jones...God damn it.

 

[Prem87]

Brett Jones.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Sorry to panic you Jimbo.

Yes we're down to one Jones next year for the first time in a long time.

 

[Coledinho]

Unless we draft a Jones. Any around?

Rowan. It's time.

Still cat believe Port think they can get Ebert for free. Absolute dreamers

well technically they can.

but ebert must be prepared to lose 2 months salary and pre season training and go into PSD.

Realistically, who really cares if we get a pick 30 odd in a compromised draft for Brad. He is worth at worst late teens so we are getting massively r*ped by Port regardless.

Personally, unless Port gave both their horrible 30's picks, I would let him go PSD and hope WS/GC took him. I wouldn't be upset that much to lose a single horrible pick if he did get through to Port.

Confession time: I spent the whole 2010 WAFL grand final calling him Sam

The difference between 28 and 33 could be steep enough to make pick 33 a waste of time.

For instance we might use 23, 28 and 45 on players we have identified as sure things to last.
If we have 23 and 33 we might use 33 on the player we where going after with pick 45.

Trade Week should be handled they same way they elect the Pope. Lock everyone in a big room and leave them there until the end. Trade Week will quickly become Trade Day, and everyone's happy

I agree that is the way it should be done and I was horrified when the AFL extended it from four working days to six working days last year just so they could get media coverage over two weekends.

Nothing really happens until the last day when clubs have to pull their finger out if they want a deal to be done. The rest of the time is just posturing and speculation.

The only problem with this, is the fact that players and their agents have to be consulted.

Nah lock them all in under the 1 roof. Make it a trade expo. 18 desks setup with reps from each team. All players + managers who are seeking a move walk around and ask what each club will give. Perfect. Then the AFL can advertise "everything of value must go" "look we have 21 yo Brad Ebert looking for a home in SA preferably Port, make an offer today"

 

[Obeanie1]

Just a little from the West Australian , on a very confusing subject

So much for the mini draft to be held at the end of Trade Week.

The AFL should nip this in the bud and say these mini draft picks are not tradable after they have been won. Swapping draft picks around was not why the AFL came up the this U17 Mini Draft.

 

[Suma Magic]

Doesn't seem like there is much out there in terms of what we are after.

I'm happy to get as much as possible for Ebert, and to sit tight otherwise.

I'd be maybe interested in rookie listing a mature KPD as a back-up for injuries.

 

[flipper]

can clubs throw in extras like steak knives or ab king pro's to sweeten any deals. Like if you trade with us in the next 45 minutes you get this incredible snuggy or we'll throw in a sham wow.

just thought it might help speed things up a bit, trade week is such an over reported load of crap every year

'Rock and Chop' or I'll put myself into the PSD.

I remember reading at the time that we were interested in drafting Addam Maric, who ended up at Melbourne. Small forward with good goal sense and good skills, taken at pick 21, but never really got it together (though, it can be hard to do at Melbourne). Would we be interested in him for a mid-late pick? I'm of the opinion that we don't have enough natural forwards on the list, so if we had an extra spot on the list, I wouldn't mind looking at him.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Apparently we're close to trading in Josh Hill ???

 

[Gus]

you guys are rumoured to be after josh hill.

That facebook group I'm sure some of you are a member of covering off season rumours mentioned it.

He'd be a good get.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Would definitely rather have Maric over Hill.
