Brownlow Medallist
There is often no cup for a team that only has 22 decent blokes. If you fill your list with talent the 22 takes care of itself.

The player he pushes out becomes the depth, we shouldn’t trade for depth, we try to improve the top 22There is often no cup for a team that only has 22 decent blokes. If you fill your list with talent the 22 takes care of itself.
He won't be next year given Bundy will be signing a one year extension.Bundy.
You trade in talent, the rest takes care of itself. You work to improve your list, in any way possible. Generally no, you dont trade in someone who is going to only be depth. But not everyone has to be an improvement on an existing player. Sometimes simply having competition is good.The player he pushes out becomes the depth, we shouldn’t trade for depth, we try to improve the top 22
Suspect we could just do a direct swap with Keays potentially however if we're inclined to let Keays go - he's easily in their best 22 and fit.
I agree you trade in talent, but it should be top 22 talent, not 23 to 40 talent, we have a lot of good kids who are filling in the 23 to 40 talent.
There is no cup for the team with the best depth, we need to draft someone who will push out a player in the top 22
I figure Bundy to sign a one year extension.He won't be next year given Bundy will be signing a one year extension.
Callum Ah Chee will explore his options during the 2019 AFL Trade Period.
General Manager Football Operations, Jon Haines confirmed Ah Chee’s position on Wednesday evening.
“During our end of season exit interview with Callum Ah Chee, Callum indicated that he would like to explore the opportunity to continue his career elsewhere in 2020,” Haines said.
“Callum and his manager will work through his options, as will the club’s list management team, in a bid to get the best possible outcome.”
Do you pay an early 20’s pick for a 23 to 40 player?So 22nd good, 23rd bad?
Understand your sentiments but after watching McCarthy and Adams this year I just sit back and nod yes when the club target a player.I agree you trade in talent, but it should be top 22 talent, not 23 to 40 talent, we have a lot of good kids who are filling in the 23 to 40 talent.
Cornes suggesting Port should put SPP and Wines on the trade table.......Keays could be part of dealings somehow especially as Gray wants out.
For those who can't read the story it talks about Lewy Taylor moving to either SA club.
Keays for Ah Chee is far from a fair swap, and Keays would not be in their best 22.Ah Chee given his injuries would only be worth our late 2nd rounder, which is at best #35, but probably pushes out to high 30s once the Suns get their priority pick + a few compo picks for whoever this years FAs are.

agree, whilst it has been hard for him to stay in the side as it has been settled by design and clean sheet of health he has done enough to get another contract. Remember before the season they were playing him in the role as full time forward, but when he came in it was at half forward role and his tackling pressure to lock it in, as well as his creativity, calm and execution were noticeably improved on multiple occasions. To me it wouldnt even be sentimental it would be a very good decision.I would be totally against moving Ben Keays on.
Sure, he has been behind a few this year, but our injury list has been unprecedented, so I would expect there to be plenty of opportunities for him next year. Added to that is his family's history with Fitzroy / Lions and the fact he really does bleed for the club. Perhaps that is being a tad sentimental, but I think there is still a place for it in footy.
I thought Ben Keays family ties were to Geelong. That’s how his family know Toby Wooller’s family.I would be totally against moving Ben Keays on.

Agree that Ah Chee is more talented than Keays but I dont think he is overrated, just many want to see what he does when he comes in for a more extended periodKeays for Ah Chee is far from a fair swap, and Keays would not be in their best 22.
He’d possibly be in their 23 to 30 range on list depth.
It reads like a few people over rate Ben Keays and our current depth in the midfield and small/medium forwards.
Again I wonder, if we take Ah Chee who is he replacing?
Do you pay an early 20’s pick for a 23 to 40 player?
I agree if your getting in a former top 8 pick with talent to burn at 21. You have time to get the body right.You don’t mind them not being best 22 when they’re super talented and only 22 coming from a club that struggles to develop footballers and having had a few injuries.
Eddie Betts delisted by Adelaide according to Whateley on AFL360 could be a good pick up much in the Luke Hodge mould for our forward line for 2 years
