Well let's go right off the deep end...
...to follow on from that Neale trade for their pick #2, they could then trade their two Brisbane first round picks to GWS for Coniglio and GWS' pick #4
Sending their pick #20 to the Dogs for English
Trade pick #4 to Freo for our pick #15 and Logue
We trade pick #4 and Lobb to Melbourne for Jackson
Eagles walk out of the off season with Neale and Coniglio to bolster their midfield, English to lead their rucks, Logue to sure up defense and pick #23 at the draft to start.
That side should win eight to ten games a year.
But clearly Logue, Lobb and our first round pick would be a high price for us to pay to leave us exposed in defense.
Remind me again why GWS are trading 4 and cogs for 2 picks in the teens?Well let's go right off the deep end...

They are both contracted for next year, so it’s up to their managers to present a deal we are willing to accept, unless a replacement is part of either deal, we just say sorry you are staying, the conversation with Meek is pretty easy if Lobb does leave “the forward/ruck role is yours if you are good enough” then he spends all the preseason working on his forward craft.wakojako
I don’t think we should trade Meek at all!
But I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted out so he could get more opportunities, and couldn’t blame him for that.
Also suspect Geelong would be one of the teams that came knocking. So hopefully he has a cracker so we can bend them over for a trade.
Could be a wild trade period if he and Lobb both decide they won’t out.
Would have to scramble to get a decent back up ruck in

Maybe. He did sign his current contract fully aware that he wasn't best 22 though.wakojako

Lose both Meek and Lobb and you can forget about top 4.Everyone seems to overrate Meek. I like the guy, he’s perfectly positioned on our list, back up to Darcy (who’s injury prone), but he isn’t a budding superstar.
He’s presented with some very mature tweeners (half key position half ruckman) in Stanley, Blicavs and Hawkins.
He’ll find the going very tough. I hope he destroys them, because that will help us stay in this game, but it would be a big surprise.

That’s the end of a premiership chase.
WC history suggests without some sort of final at home, WA teams need that position to challenge.
We’ll have a much better picture after this weekend. IMO if bulldogs lose English to WC they’d be mad not to make a play for Meek.Don’t get me wrong, I want to keep him. Other posters are representing like it’s a fait accompli other teams will chase him for the lead ruck position.

I agree with you. The other thing is I don't see a great deal of upside to come with him, just incremental improvement.Don’t get me wrong, I want to keep him. Other posters are representing like it’s a fait accompli other teams will chase him for the lead ruck position.
Out on the patio ... we sit.Heard it was the Weagles Webuild
In a Banfield kind of way.The best thing about Lloyd, other than his name, is his durability. Dude is always ready to step in.
In a Banfield kind of way.
He is a real conundrum on our list, and moreso because he seems to be next in line status.
I agree, having these “older” depth players is going to make the young talent earn it. Sure, they aren’t all expected to be best 22 but when there is an injury they can slot straight in and compete.Have to keep Meek. I would not sell him for a magic pair of beans (3rd round). He's been with us for a little while now and is getting some action.
I think he's a goer and I love those sorts of players
Nah they got crab Bailey J Williams in 2018So scum up the road are going hard for English or Jackson. Nice Nat is 32...
My question is- what the actual fu** have the Muppets been doing Re there next ruck? Did it just dawn in them to start looking now??
Williams if he stays on a list it will be as a forward/ruckNah they got crab Bailey J Williams in 2018
