Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[Glebehawk]

We almost certainly miss out on Wiz or Duursma with that deal though.

McKercher gettable at 5, but another midfielder who prob won’t get games for quite some time with what’s in front of him. Duursma and Watson are plug and play from day 1.

I’d be more than happy with McKercher.

 

[hawkmang]

He demands a sacrifice.

SYL still has a right nut to give I think

As far as pure talent goes, after Harley
It's Curtin then Colby. But , let's see if clubs including ours, just draft for needs instead.

I don't think we can draft McKercher. Looking at the players on our list pushing for inside midfield time:
Day, Nash, Worpel, Newcombe, Ward, Mackenzie, Macdonald, Hustwaite, O'Sullivan, Stephens, Long.
It's just plain wasteful to take Colby. If Duursma is not available, then it's Curtin or Watson for me.

Or we trade up for pick 1, that also works. Which, by the way, I think is still a shot to happen. North's first offer makes me think they are happier hanging on to 2&3.

I’d be more than happy with McKercher.

If we didn’t have such a great year with the mids this year I’d agree. But i think he’ll be a few years away from dislodging or going past any of Day, Newc, Worps*, Ward, McKenzie, Nash. Then you’ve got guys like Hustwaite who is looking really classy as well.

Don’t doubt Colby won’t be a star, it’s just we won’t get much value for him for some time. Whereas we’re just desperate for forward half xfactor which other prospects offer and can play from the beginning.

Have twins and want to be closer to family?

To answer seriously: go home factor is bigger than it ever was, because it's going to get easier and easier for players to move. Mid season trade period, lowering of FA age, contracts routinely torn up. And the media acts like it's a Jane Austen novel, "Any player in possession of interstate family connections must be in want of a trade".

I'd be happy if we drafted Curtin, but we've seen with DGB that every year his name will get dragged into trade conversations.

Breust name has come up for the last 8 years. Doesn’t mean he wants to leave

They don't have anything.
Traded Future First to GC, can't trade future second and their first pick following 5 is 39.

My biggest fear is that the club is considering doing the deal you mentioned above (Pick 4 + F1 --> (WB) Pick 5 + Smith). Don't get me wrong I want Smith but not at the expense of drafting one of Watson / Duursma / McKercher. Curiously asking without me having to go looking on the Dogs forum what are they expecting for Smith?

People lamenting the lack of RnL updates when KeeperLeaguer is posting pretty much daily state of play updates:

Yet to see something that can convince me they aren't the same person.

People wanted hardball - MM is going hard this trade period.

 

[Ashman23]

YES!!!!

Well done MM, sorry Chol.

Don’t be silly, KeeperLeaguer might look like RnL but he wears glasses and parts his hair on the other side.

 

[Billyc]

Melbourne and Dogs both want Watson (if Dees can’t get Reid). We should be open to splitting our pick now that the AFL has pushed us back. Apparently Dees want to get ahead of Dogs.

That should give us some leverage to deal with Dogs (for Smith) or Dees (for a package with 6 and 13).

 

[Mercy Seat]

What does this even mean? how do we rebuff our own offer?

 

[KermitJagger]

Gold Coast can't play handball on a player the coach doesn't want there. Good on MM.

This is what happens when 13 year olds run trade accounts.

We walk.

i hear the Doggies are keen on Colby also

I assumed it meant re-buff (add more)

 

[Tony3163]

Rebuff, means walk away in this context. From my viewing of a dictionary.

 

[MadDawg]

So....HS reporting that Hawthorn is rejecting its own offer for Chol in an ungracious manner?!?!?!

 

[Topiary]

Yet to see something that can convince me they aren't the same person.

They ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON.

 

[Ashman23]

When GC has to have enough list spots for all their draft picks, I wonder if someone we can sign gets shaken loose as they free up spots.
