We could package up Wood, Clarke, 11 + 30.

Yep trade away 2 potential guns and 11 for a potential gun, your post requires more

I am sorry but thats the worst call/trade I have ever seen posted here..
Wood has Star quality about him and Clarke could get there too..

 

[Frank Thring]

Pick 11 for rockliff
Pick 29 and Hansen for Hanley

Premiership mode

Rockliff is a plodder who doesnt damage the opposition and Hanley is okay as the 3 or 4th mid but is late 20s year of age. Apart from that they both have been disrespectful towards our club in the past and are a "cancer" to a list. No thanks, not even for fourth rounders.

 

[The Nostradamus]

We should get involved in the Rocky firesale.

Rate rocky, would cost our first rounder but id consider it
Hanley I like also and has attributes we lack

Sorry

 

[Long Live the King]

Gut feel is other than Wellsy saying goodbye this trade period is going to be pretty much a non event for North.

Hook line and sinker.

In fairness it makes about as much sense to us as most of the hypothetical trades make for other clubs involved.

I hope so. If we aren't going for elite I don't want any other teams speculations and junk. Trade out who wants to leave, package picks for better ones if we can and then hit the draft. Perfect.

Yeah makes sense and shows commitment to a rebuild rather than top up strategy...the issue will be how patient North fans will be!!

 

[archereleven]

Two questions.

1) Who was the last team to give up premium picks for a ruckman?
2) Who was the last team to win a flag where the ruckman was their best player?

AFL has evolved a lot the last 5-6 years but it's still all about speed, lateral movement and spread. Ruck can still be an important position but no one is building their side around a ruckman unless he is an athletic, fast freak like Naitanui.

I agree with you, but to say NicNat can be built around LOL

 

[Heaps of fun]

I would describe Rockliff as a combination of ebola, zika and cancer.

I hate the campaigner but I watched Moneyball last night so if he was going cheap we should take him.

 

[Fraud Squad]

So Lions could get pick 8 for Hanley

Yep... and there are clowns who don't think Goldy is worth two top 10's.

Laughable.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Imagine the leadership at north Melbourne if Rockliff were to stroll in. Andrew swallow at the top and rocky in the Leadership group. Stuff of nightmares.

That's like buying a food court curry with the oil rising to the top at 6.05pm because it's marked down.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Oh my god just read on afl.com.au that Chris Mayne's contract at Collingwood is for four years at 500k...

Good movie, but he should of take the Red Sox gig. I watched it about a week ago.

What compo do we get out of that?

As if you haven't dusted off a chicken tikka masala under those circumstances?????

 

[South West 29]

What compo do we get out of that?

Our compo is that Chris Mayne will not be in royal blue and white in 2017.

I even think he's overrated but his output is huge and according to Glenn Luff he hardly ever loses a one on one. Would add something to our midfield but I doubt he'd be going that cheap even after injuries and being caught out for being a massive flog several times.

Good movie, but he should of take the Red Sox gig. I watched it about a week ago.

He couldn't do that to his daughter though. He's still there too. Vice president now.

he will be worse for them than the other big fish they landed from the west in Lynch.

 

[ArchKing Carey]

There is no chance in hell we get a first rounder for Hansen or BMac. Third at most.

Also, if they're not best 22 at North, how are they going to play a game at GWS? Especially when they have to reduce their list size this year.

Fair point, my trade is probably unreasonable. The main point I am trying to make is whether there is value in downgrading our 11 pick to either two later first rounders or a later first rounder (15 - 19) and an early second round pick (sub 25). Is there value in getting two high quality players at the expense of missing a potential gun mid with pick 11?

 

[Frank Thring]

It will be interesting to see Mayne in a non Lyon coached team where defense is paramount. Mayne has pace, good hands and was a reliable kick before he was asked to play a defensive role.

It might sound crazy at present but i would not be surprised if Mayne become a handy FA acquisition. He definitely brings effort and a great work ethos which can only be a good thing for the playing group.
