[Determinant]

Thanks for the info, he's looked good in his games this year, hope we go after him if he doesn't re-sign, and we continue our good trading relationship.

He has been a favourite of a lot of us all year in the twos, came into seniors and played very well.
If we can't fit him in he will be a great pickup for someone.

Is he whiley a favourite?

 

[Determinant]

Is he whiley a favourite?

Yup, for a guy who has barely played firsts he is... hard nut loves to get his own ball and doesn't mind who is in his way...

Definitely, all yours for Rebecca and a 5th rounder

I'm starting to wonder if 'Whiley' is pronounced as 'weally'.

Quayle raises the possibility of a trade with the Saints involving #3 + end-of-1st compo for #1. Not sure we're doing that unless we get late 1sts/early 2nds if Jaksch or O'Rourke are traded, thus going in with 3 picks in the top 25-30 plus a couple of academy kids.

Sculls, I reckon there is a huge chance of this happening. Saints will be happy with either McCartin or Wright which they should be able to snare with pick 4. If we offer our end of round 1 or a player (O'Rourke/Jaksch) as a sweetener then Saints will get the player they need plus another highly rated kid as cream.

From our side we would like Petracca on needs (from reports) and if we gamble on him being there at 4 reality is he will be snapped up by Melbourne (who incidently did a great job of insuring their position by tanking against us!).

If I was a recruiter from St Kilda I would definitely do a deal as it will make them a better team quicker. Saints were quite clever doing this at the draft last year and I'm backing them to do the same again this year.

Hey guys just a question about O'rourke because I haven't seen him play very much. Does he run and carry with the footy and are his skills ok ?

Yeah I agree it'd be a good deal for both sides, I just think we'd have to find another team or two to execute trades along with this one to sure up our draft stocks. Similar to last year's trading really. So we, for example, send out our 1st, end-of-1st, 2nd plus Jaksch and/or JOR and end up with #1 and a couple of mid-late 1sts and then pick up Finlayson/Steele/Griffiths via academy selections.

 

[Scully2Folau]

And #3 + end-of-1st compo for #1 is much better value for us than other suggestions I've read over time, guys like Tomlinson or WHE instead of the compo pick hahaha

Mate I reckon we need a pick upgrade and another early 1st rounder and we need to trade to pick up some of those players you mentioned.

For me we need an infusion of speed (Petracca/Pickett) and a really good user down back (Duggan?) an x factor bloke like Laverde also appeals if we miss out on Petracca.

We have talent all around the ground, good grunt blokes that find the ball, good two way runners, good talls that can mark but the connection between our defence through to midfield and midfield through to our forwards is sometimes lacking. If we can grab an elite user or two we will be a really scary prospect.

 

[fargothegreat]

Would a deal of our first rounder for O'Rourke and your end of first round compensation pick be fair?

That's the kind of deal I'd be looking for, whoever comes up with the highest 1st round pick in that scenario. If the 1st rounder isn't high enough our 2nd rounder is only a few picks behind so could swap that in for the compo pick.

 

[Giant Pete]

Does anyone know how many spots we need to fill on our list? Hunt and Gilham gone. Anyone else?

None, we have to take 3 picks, but with those 2 gone we could keep everyone and do it...

We won't but its possible to do..

 

[coniglio_number1]

So wasn't jaksch supposed to say his goodbyes today? Let's see what happens but I personally don't want to loose anyone.



Yes I'm soft

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

I think that we probably won't hear anything until after the UWS Giants have finished their campaign. Some of the boys who are supposedly so desperate to get out of here still have a game (hopefully two) left to play.
