2016 Trade/FA discussion (no hypothetical trades)

[mick1013]

So thoughts are that we will drop down the draft order to number 3.. Are we a chance to still get Hugh Mccluggage? Will essendon pass on him at 1?

I think Ainsworth is what we would be expecting

I think that's who we will get but would much rather Will Brodie. We have Zorko and Taylor who are the Ainsworth type. Brodie a 189cm big body mid to help out rocky, beams, mathieson, rich. Thoughts ?

I like Brodie and if we make the deal to get in 3 i think we need to push as hard as possible to try get another pick in the top 6 because he would be exactly what we need.

are you suggesting we won't get him with 3?

If GWS want McGrath that much then they can overpay for him. Pick 3 and pick 5 and we can give something back their way (19 perhaps)

agree, although give them 21 instead of 19.

 

[Leemas]

I think with Hawthorn's history they'll back themselves to get the best out of him regardless of bung legs. Wasn't Burgoyne's body cooked when he went there?

 

[mick1013]

any one have any idea whats taking so long with the Frost trade surely it is straight forward pick 59 for him done.

Think they have a lot of irons in the fire and knowing collingwood we have been given a deli ticket and are waiting in line

No i think we would take Ainsworth,

There's not a 5 pm deadline on Friday is there?

 

[Milux]

Hawthorn seem confident that his body will hold up.

Confidence and what happens could be polar opposites. As much as i dislike hawthorn for being so good i hope they don't 'sell the farm' (sorry). Ahwell. Not my club.

Reminds me of the Beetlejuice waiting room scene...

Haha most likely

 

[Fitzroy bears]

Haha all this for this blokes potential. How many games has O meara played? How old? He has the potential. But has he got the legs.

Not to mention knee problems

More likely to be our late third rounder - currently pick 51.

It's kind of dawned on me that after all of this we could end up with, wait for it, exactly what we have now, Rockliff and Hanley still on our list and the picks we have currently. I know there's a week to go but you never know.

Id be ok with pick 8 for Hanley and pick 19. Surely that's will get it done.

64 million dollar question.

 

[chopperduck]

Only 4 list spots with Smith and Frost coming on the list. Maybe we move someone to the rookie list and maybe Green goes. 6 spots, maybe 2 academy picks leaves only 4 live picks.

Hanley and 19 for 8 is still a good deal. 2 8 23 30 (ball park) picks to use in the draft. Maybe still try trade pick 2 to gws if they are still keen. Maybe 2 and 30 for 3 and 16.

3 8 16 23 would be a good draft. 2 or 3 makes no difference IF Ainsworth is the 1 we want. Still plenty of time and im sure everything will change another 2 times before the deals get done.

Hanley is definitely gone.... Rocky, the club want him out the door so we'll see. Hard to see either being at the club in 2017.
