Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[Simon Crawshay]

Lol remember when some posters were defending the Bramble over Scrimshaw selection by stating Bramble isn't playing in defence, only for Bramble to then play in defence. Those were the days.

Those were heady days indeed

Crickey most of these posts are pure Shit …. totally mindless

 

[hawkmang]

If we do get Ginnivan he can leave his ducking and flopping BS at the pies. Looked like a fool out there tonight.

 

[The hands of stone]

For us to get better as a team at some stage we most likely will need to risk losing a decent player or two to get decent picks to leverage in trade .

We have a glut of players suited to half back so its only natural or logical that 1-2 may make way for the betterment of the team .

Not saying it'll happen but if we got offerred a top 20 pick for Scrimshaw , I'm taking it .

 

[VandoHawk]

Looking at the going rate of average players.
Geelong want a first round pick for Esava.
Essendon a top 20 pick for BZT.
We should ask North for a top 10 pick for Scrim lol

 

[Topiary]

HUN saying bombers will want a top 20 pick for BZT.
Unbelievable request.

What else would you expect.

As he is. Sorry, again saying too much.

 

[Howe Amazing]

The Essendon paper already has preseason training stories about them

There is no need to say sorry, your info is always appreciated

 

[Iceman!]

One kid early in the second round of the draft for 2 established players? One of which is a former pick 6 and one of the most naturally talented players on our list?

Not in a million years.

That is a funny way of typing two fringe best 22 players.

 

[user33]

Scrimshaw not going anywhere. Mitchell challenged him to step up and stop just cruising through on his talent and Scrimshaw delivered.

 

[VandoHawk]

Petracca almost single-handedly carried Melbourne to the finish line with an incredible second half. That's the type of player Reid can be.

However, Melbourne's forward-line (especially their tall forwards) were largely impotent and easily accounted for by Collingwood's defenders.

Day, Newcombe, Reid would be an incredible core of elite ceiling players. Surrounded by some genuine quality too. But would it matter if we don't have the forwards to really trouble sides?

To be fair to the bombers, he’s one of the rare players they’ve actually been able to develop from scratch.

Still a silly request though.

We would have won tonight.

Very unconvincing top 4 sides.
I'm suddenly more confident about next season.

Lewis will continue to trouble sides. Melbourne would give their left arm for him.
Plus we’ll likely be an even more pleasing option for forwards in 12 months time.

You reckon we should trade up for 1 then SYL? I'm torn.

 

[TylerDurden]

I'm all in.

 

[Iceman!]

I'm all in.

The cost is going to be 3 plus F1 at minimum for that trade. We just can’t at this stage I don’t think.

 

[Hawkers Hero]

Assuming the Roos get pick 3 compo, how about Scrimma, Frost and Pick 4 for pick 2

Trade Kosi to Melbourne for 24

We then on trade 2, Brockman and 24 to the Eagles for 1

Trade future first and Dogs 2nd to Gold Coast for 5

Eagles get guaranteed Curtain plus some change, Roos still get Mckercher and Watson/Duursma with a couple of good bolsters to the backline

 

[RoughysMullet]

Scrimmers is way, way, way to good a player to be packaged up with Kosi as some esoteric later swap package.

He doesn't get enough credit on this forum IMOH. He had his struggles this year but previous years he's been really very good indeed of half back.

I don’t even know why we’d be packaging up Kosi to be honest - he’s no superstar but we are really thin on key forwards- it makes zero sense for us to trade one at this point…

 

[The German Hunter]

Every year pick one is the saviour.






Spoiler- They very rarely are

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Agree
from my end it is a big no to giving up so much to get the number 1 pick

Mitch Lewis already a better forward than basically everyone that played in tonights final.
