Mega Thread 2018 Trade Period Discussion part 2! (cont. in Part 3 - link in OP)

[Morning_Fog]

Sam Mayes is only worth a 3rd Rounder .........playing NEAFL

True but most of the collateral would go towards the pick upgrade.

Jumping from 13 to 5 would take a fair bit of convincing

 

[Lawrst]

In terms of winning the flag in 2019. Rankine is going to play a bigger role imo then Luko that unless we have injuries is going to be lower down the order in terms of playing up forward.

Agreed on this, looks like he would slot right into a forward pocket / flank from day 1.

 

[arsene wenger1]

Our draft position is so strong now compared to our peers - once in a generation opportunity.

Melbourne don’t have a pick before 36 or thereabouts, Richmond have got Lynch but lost depth.

This could be our geelong 2001 draft

Hately too. And Smith.

I wonder if we are still keen on Harry Himmelberg - as we've seen recently GWS players seem to be ripe for the picking and they need to get rid of some cap space. I know we bid for him a few years ago but just wonder if Ogilve has something up his sleeve with that for next year, as he's out of contract.

 

[1990crow]

I thought Edwards was 2020? Or have AFLs reporters got it wrong again:

 

[crows dude]

Isn't the last hour being televised "Live" ?? ....primetime viewing I suspect the reason for 7.30pm finish

What channel or on fox only

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Don't disagree he's tradable but it leaves us in a scary position if Talia or Keith get injured.

Otten did a good makeshift job at CHB this year

Nope GWS only want JP gone

Sam Collins as a DFA - problem solvered

For Brisbane I agree .... they’ll need at a min pick 8 and 16/21

Unless Freo do accept #13 and # 16 for Hogan .... that’s 2 good 1st round picks

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I assume Trade Radio on AFL. Com

 

[Schulzycrow]

Because he can’t tackle or win the contested ball

And goes masing when the heat is on.

Only? This trade period makes that look like they're happy to let a few go... not just JP..

If i were the crows, I'd be looking at HH when he's out of contract next year.

I think he means future picks.

 

[CrowinNT]

I'm happy with #5 .....get Rankine, hold pick #13

I am struggling to understand how pick 5 would guarantee us Rankine
GC could take him along with Luk
at 2 & 3
I'm not certain that Rozee is in that pick picture
Then Saints still have 4 available
Port still have 6 10 and whatever Whinegard brings to make a move.

 

[The Texan]

We have quite a few of them unfortunately.. Betts, Lynch, Atkins, McKay to name a few.. I’d be happy to let any of them go to improve our draft position..
You can’t turn being aggressive and competitive on and off, you either are or aren’t..

Lynch?? WTF....go back to bed dude.

We would not be getting these guys with next year in mind.

No he’s saying Edwards is eligible to be drafted next year, I thought it was 2020.

 

[jenny61_99]

We can only hope

I think GC would be interested in someone like Atkins too

We want players to be loyal but you palm off some bugger you don’t like at first opportunity despite the fact he recently re-signed!

 

[Bearded Clam]

Still have otten..

Bit slower... but a much more reliable kick than hartigan

Rozee best mates with Luko. GC more likely to take them both to keep them from being homesick.

 

[chazwazza]

Tinfoil hat time.
Has anyone considered that GWS may have broken the salary cap and the AFL are covering it up by telling them to dump a whole lot of players? Some of these trades wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny in previous years yet aren’t being questioned now. Scully for a 2nd or 3rd round pick? Please.

Wouldn’t put it past the AFL.
