Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[sydney_gws]

Anyone who can get us a second round pick that is easily replaceable should be considered. We need 2024 picks to either trade back in or go after early FS picks next year. Suns r1 would be a huge enabler to improve our draft capital by sliding back this year and grabbing gws picks or r1 future with crows. Done right it could get us 2 top 12 picks this year or this year and next.

Hello, what sort of trade would you do with GWS?
I for one would be happy to slide back and into the future ( particularly if gws wins the flag), but I doubt the club wants to do that.

 

[RX Hawk]

yeah - we need a number 2 for lewis and a reliable fwd ruck. We wouldn't play all 3 every week but need the coverage of those roles.

I would guess Ramsden is currently viewed as the future fwd ruck - he's going to be in and out though next year & Kosi provides some coverage.

We still don't have the 2nd fwd. This might be Ryan but he needs a HUGE preseason. Maybe DGB but I'd need to be convinced he's not a defender (and think unfortunately he's an intercept defender and not what we really need down back).

So from all that - I reckon we need a stop gap 2nd fwd & to play one of Ramsden or Kosi in the fwd ruck role. The stop gap is there until we can attract a Ben King or someone else, or until someone we draft this year is ready to go.

This all looks really crook if Lewis doesn't stay on the park!

What about. Buku Khamis - Is he worth to consider?

This bloke must have a lot of family members who are Hawthorn supporters and logged into Bigfooty

had a medical at Essendon on Wednesday, his third medical at an AFL club, as he approaches a decision on his next move.

McKay has done a medical at Essendon, Sydney and Hawthorn and received at least verbal offers from all three clubs.

Why am I getting the vibe he's playing this scenario like an auction; pushing the bids higher and higher?

Can't believe his luck.
Can you blame him for cashing in?

Just wait for the a grader. We have enough stop gaps. Maybe the memory of vickery and Patton haunts me.

 

[The Chad and I]

As the next UN Secretary-General?
Sure…

 

[The Chad and I]

Can't believe his luck.

Frawley tried the same tactics with us until we held firm and chose us.

If they choose us that’s good. If they don’t choose us that’s also good.
Few…

 

[Brant]

Why am I getting the vibe he's playing this scenario like an auction; pushing the bids higher and higher?

I was in a Cafe, Tuesday, & overheard a phone call between he & his manager (but only from his manager's side). Words to the effect:

"Look... Ben... you're not very durable & when you play, you're not very good... TAKE THE F'EN MONEY & RUN..."

So... read into that what you will.

 

[The Chad and I]

If you build the team, the free agents will come...

We don't need to panic into paying for second-rate players just because.
Hit the draft.

You have no idea how crap Waterman is, he didn't get consistent game time at the Chooks for nothing, he could even carve up the Eagles seconds...CRAB

Bit unfair to judge any forward playing for the eagles 2nds they are woeful.

Not saying we get Waterman though. He isn’t much more than a stop gap.

What would you do in his situation? Bloke’s got a big payday fall in his lap and every day he doesn’t make a decision his price goes up

 

[Yardie]

You don't make big sport money in the AFL so you've gotta do the best you can.

Exactly, but it’s that situation which is completely at odds with our pay structure

Caveat. We get suns pick 4. Do you want pick 3 for 6/12?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

No disrespect to Doedee but whose spot does he take at the Lions

He's be their second best defended after Andrews.

Ryan Lester. Payne gorilla with 2 interceptors that’s pretty good with Coleman Wilmot McKenna

 

[chopflop]

We have to throw something back in that deal

 

[Platten44]

We have had a couple of inquiries with Suns regarding King.
Not sure where it will go but we're asking the question.

King has all but re-signed, just finalising the fine print.

We need to offer him a massive contract before he signs with Gold Coast

 

[Dewnior]

The more I think about it the more I think Maric has to be part of the Brockman trade. I have a feeling he's going to explode in the next two years. Exactly what we need. It would be fitting for the romantics out there give we pinched Brocky from under their noses and they pinched Maric from under ours.

 

[Platten44]

We need to offer him a massive contract before he signs with Gold Coast

We have no interest in trading our pick 3 or 2024 first rounder so no way a trade could be done anyway. But he has committed to the Gold Coast for an extra two seasons to take him to free agency at the end of 2026.

 

[Platten44]

The more I think about it the more I think Maric has to be part of the Brockman trade. I have a feeling he's going to explode in the next two years. Exactly what we need. Besides, it would be fitting as we pinched Brocky from under their noses and they returned the favour by taking Maric from under ours.

Maric is contracted to the end of 2024 and loves it in Perth and West Coast love him.
