GWS seemed to do ok with it.
Does the trade period open the day of the Syd Barker count?
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.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.
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.

We aren't going to get 40 top 10 picks.
That Daw comment? What the, makes no sense for him to work that one out. Daw replaces Petrie not Goldy.
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.
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
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!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.
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)
Kingy thinks the AFL is the NBA.
