Bartel and Hodge would be great for Will Brodies development!!
If Lids were to leave, why not a direct swap for Prestia? They get a senior gun, we get a perennially injured mid. We then keep pick 6.
Thoughts?
You mean we would have to surelyThey would need to throw in a sweetener. In the shape of an early 2nd. Or Hall.

Let's face it, it won't be possible to improve our list to the point where we are competitive with gws any time in the next 4 years based on the sheer volume of talent they have and the cost of bringing established talent from other clubs to support what already exists at punt road, so for shits and giggles I've had a crack at what we could hypothetically achieve if we undertook the most ballsy list regeneration in modern afl history...
Trade Rance to Brisbane in return for pick 2 & 20
Trade Cotchin to Gold Coast for Prestia & pick 8
Trade Martin to GWS for Marchbank & pick 7
Trade Deledio to Sydney for pick 16 & Nankervis
Trade Riewoldt to Bulldogs for pick 13 and next years 1st
Get pick 25 as comp for vickery
Trade Lennon to Carlton for Pick 23
Conca to Freo for pick 39
Trade Brandon Ellis to Essendon for pick 19
Trade Titch to Hawthorn for pick 34
Delist the remaining uncontracted players and hit the draft with:
Picks 2,6,7,8,13,16,19,20,23,25,34,39,42 + Prestia & Marchbank & an extra 1st rounder for next year.
14 picks inside 42 plus we still have Vlastuin, Rioli, Markov, Short, Castagna, Ellis, Menadue & Drummond as young talent on the list. Invest in development and we might actually have a chance in 2021/22.
Right now I'd take this strategy & some serious thumpings in the next 24 months than maintaining the status quo and finishing 6-12th for the next 10 years...
I've heard we want the picks for Prestia because we're going to have to match bids for 2 academy players, so I think pick 6 straight up is a pretty good deal for both teams. would much rather a guaranteed young gun than just 1 draft pick, which doesn't guarantee a good player anyway (think Think Oakley-Nicholls at pick 8, Tambling at pick 4, Conca at pick 6, Vickery at pick 8, and Lennon at pick 12). Richmond will end up with plenty of 2nd rounders being bought in from the trades of Vickery, Conca and Lennon so it wont matter.
You mean we would have to surely
Essendon want Hartlett
Normally a ban has the reverse effect.So we all agree that it's Fyfe and we should ban the its happening gif?
Problem with this is that we don't have Brodie, won't get Fyfe or Bonts......next....Mate Will Brodie, Dusty , Cotch are our future!!
We have to attract Fyfe and Bontempelli some how. Balme is not an idiot like the others is he?
Hahaha that was my pessimistic first thought too. Jack to Freo, Barlow to Richmond lolWe're going to lose a big name.
Until he catches the RFC disease too.Who cares.. At least with Balme in charge we can rest a little easier knowing their is some method to the incredible madness that is our club.
Lids is a proven elite talent.
Prestia is very good and still young.
I think proven elite talent outweighs young and promising. I think they would need to throw in a bit extra. Just my opinion.

This GC plant is getting more and more unbelievable by the dayAgree, but he is an elite talent pushing 30 with multiple soft tissue injuries well last hie best.
Prestia is not promising, he is proven and a gun with many more years ahead of him.
LIds value is so overrated on this board IMO. At best he is worth a mid to late 1st rounder, Prestia is worth an early to mid first rounder.
We're going to lose a big name.
What about those claiming they know "something" is going to happen, never give any more information, and then when "something" does happen claim I told you so? LolI love how someone posts something about something they may have heard and it sends this board into melt down. Classic.
Can we make this a RFC supporters only thread mods? It will keep all these GWS guys out!
Throw enough darts eh eh ehThis GC plant is getting more and more unbelievable by the day
Actually agree but that's not as fun as hanging shit on your pro-GC posts eh eh eh
