Does the trade period open the day of the Syd Barker count?

He would be dynamite at the Dogs rucking to that group. Would have you in flag contention immediately imo.

I don't think it's a coincidence that our midfield has looked worse since Goldy has been carrying an injury.
And that's why our new midfield group (minus NDS, Wellsy*, Boomer) will be helped so much by developing at the feet of Goldy. I have no doubt he will return to full fitness and his ability as a 4th centre-square mid has been crucial to our success and has a big impact on the workload of the 3 starting mids. Not to mention is aerobic ability around the ground. Just look at the influence the bushranger had on the Demon's young midfield this season.

Goldy will also be that senior A-grader that will set the standard for the kids coming through. He has shown he has the talent and drive that can take him to the highest level and that's the example we need. Only Taz has come close to that. Cunners, JZ and JMac might get there, but these role models are too few at the moment to give up our best one.
 
No one is disagreeing that he is our best or near it when fit. He is a great player. But what I don't understand is how those who don't want to trade him or Cunnington or any of our top players think we are going to get better? Not next year but in 2-4 years time? Do you think we can just sit on pick 11 and 29 and that will be enough? I love some of the young talent we have Mountford, Clarke & EVW have all showed a bit in the 2's and Wood could be a star. But history shows they don't all work out and the only way to ensure you have enough talent for a tilt at a flag is to go to the draft with multiple high picks (maybe a couple of years in a row) and develop them. I just can't see how you think we are going to have talent without trading out talented but aging players.

That's a really good question I have to say. And a bloody hard one!

I don't think trading good players is a bad thing, necessarily. I think trading Goldy specifically is not the way I would go - I think he adds too much to the team as it is right now, and I don't think we would get enough for him for it to be worth it. There's no doubt I have a conservative mindset and would be reluctant to trade anyone as I'm a sentimental chump.

I think you have to be prepared to trade good players, but I don't think it is wise to trade your core players, and I think Goldy, and Cunners are those. I think losing one of them, on top of what we've lost, is too much at once - it isn't time to throw everything out and start again, to my mind.

There's definitely value in what you say because when I think about who I would give up, it starts to hurt my brain. Too much love, definitely.

For next year, I would be looking to trade players such as Black, Hansen, Mullett - depth players that can play a role. I don't think we would get a lot for them, but I don't think we would get nothing. Take picks to the draft, upgrade picks if possible. Draft a batch of kids, get in free agents where possible. I think free agency is a more flexible option for clubs going forward and will be where the majority of talent comes from. I would be happy for Tuohy and Brown to come over.

I still think we'll be a good team next year, and we might have more options next year trade-wise by getting games into the young players. The club needs to look at things over a period of time - you can't guarantee getting an A-grade free agent in a specific year, but you should be able to land one over a 2-3 year period.

Thanks, I should of put a wink emoji or something. I was implying that maybe they will formally introduce our new A+ grade pickups at the count that night. I'm joking by the way.

If Majak Daw left the club for Hawthorn that would test my support of this club to within an inch of its life. I don't think i would be able to cop it. IF it happens, and especially to Hawthorn we will officially have the worst list management team of all time
 
My view on Goldy is very similar to my view on Wells. Do we really think these two will be around at our next tilt? If the club believes this is the case then by all means keep them. But from a fan of the club with only an outside view i'd say they definitely won't be there. It could be good to keep them around for their experience, similar to what Montagna and Riewoldt have done at the Saints. Nevertheless i think, while they have value we should let them go.

you know Melbourne tried this a few years ago put them back 5 years and made the beg the league for priority picks and to pay for their coach. But by all means trade out all our experience.

There are so many football shows nowadays and the commentators need things to talk about, and proposing a total rebuild for a club opens up a great range of possibilities for them to talk about, fill in time and most importantly keep getting paid. Look at how it sucks in so many people in this thread for example!
 
Jeebus, with all the outgoings this trade period are we going to even have a list
 
The idea behind trading Goldy is that if we're rebuilding, Goldy, at 28, probably won't be a part of our next flag push. He'd be one of the few players we have with decent currency and getting one, possibly two first rounders or quality young players in exchange for him would help us massively in the long run

Whereas Wood, at 23, is going to be a massive part of our future, as him, Brown, Tarrant, Dumont, Clarke etc would be the guys we'd base our rebuild around

Again, this is based on the assumption that we're going to undergo a full rebuild and even then, I doubt we'd trade him, unless it was for something that's simply too good to turn down (eg a combination of Kelly/Shiel/Cameron)

I guess I now better understand the logic, thanks, but for mine he is simply too important. Majak is a handy back-up and Preuss developing nicely, just feel Goldstein is a required player regardless of premiership windows and all that talk.

Put it this way, if I could trade Cunnington before Goldstein regardless of their ages, I would pick Cunnington every time. That's just one example.

We need speed and quality outside, not better ruckmen IMO - so i'd rather focus our trading on needs, not just who has the most currency by diluting a key strength of ours just to improve a weakness.

Wells is weighing up an approach from Collingwood which will give him at least a two-year deal. North Melbourne has a two-year deal on the table for Wells but earlier this week was not confident of retaining the midfielder.

Make that 2 of us
 
I'm looking forward to seeing Daw get a red hot crack at our forward line next year. But, if you were going to trade him now would be the time - ie. if we don't plan on him genuinely being part of our future for the next 5+ years he will have great value right now.
