I reckon it might be broadcast live in 7 in Perth.
Not sure if there's any nerds on here who know how to trick the 7 stream into letting u watch. It used to be easy but not now.
Would a future first and second get Setterfield and Shiel? Setterfield is no different to any of the other former early draft picks we have taken from GWS. Picked early, hardly played and often injured and they never cost us a great deal. Perhaps even one of our second rounders or the PP. I think our next year's first will be better than the compo pick and what Essendon have to offer for Shiel, they would probably expect it to be a pick in the top 5.
The way I see it, next years first is likely a good early pick and better than what they will get for Shiel at the same time and should trump Essendon's offer. GWS just have to wait a year to use it and lose Shiel for a year.
If they take that then you add Shiel, Setterfield and Walsh to the midfield plus who ever else, really bolsters things in there and actually starts to create a little competition for spots. Gives us depth and rotations while keeping the age range right.
Reckon if we are looking at a key defender with a few years on the clock like Goddard or Collins, it's probably because we are going to trade Jones. To me that seems like the likely option because he's the only good player we can afford to lose because I reckon we have the players to move forward without Jones and he has trade value to the top sides. We know a side without a key defender on the verge of a flag will pay top dollar for one. Typical property development, buy cheap, do it up, sell high. Could be a surprisingly good pick there if the demand is high enough. Rowe would be very likely to play on IMO, he's as fit as ever and been doing a job, should be able to be there long enough to see Macreadie transition into that role and leave us with Weitering, Plowman, Macreadie and Marchbank as our bigger defenders with Rowe and Goddard in reserve.
This years pick one is probably off the table. I think all of next year's picks should be on the table for good players as those draftees are getting a little young for where we are at and where we want to peak IMO.
Barlow, Wallas, Libba are all good at what they do but you do not want too many of this age group and slow like they are in your side. Our ball winning ability is already ok and already on the slow side with Cripps, Kennedy, Curnow etc not being super quick. We need a couple of explosive types, guys who have the size and skill to play inside but have a burst of speed plus a heap of wingers, flankers and pockets who are hard nosed and fast.
There's a fair bit of work to do to add players and aspects to our game like depth, rotations, speed and pressure. Those are the things which are missing and what we need to address. If we build with quality and the correct age range then we will build a good side.

Don’t want Libba. Please no. Not if drug taking history is true, we don’t need that kind of thing brought in.

The reality is that he is just one who got found out publicly, you're kidding yourself if you don't think at least half of the league dabbles in the stuff.
I know everyone assumes that's an issue but is it?
He's an absolute beast when playing..
I would think the only issue is his 2x ACLs.

There is no way in gods green earth that Shiel is tossing up between us and Essendon at the minute- he is focussing on his football. Essendon are just making very loud enquiries and leaking it
A really smooth mover Eskie, around 191CM, best way I could describe him is a midfield version of Mundy. Tough, high tackle rate, half of his possessions are contested, breaks well from a stoppage before using the ball. If he is finally over his injuries, would be a very, very good player
Agree with you , our 2019 1stRd pick probabley a top 5 will be an excellant pick in another strong top 10 and it will be more than adequate compensation for Sheil and Setterfield , considering GWS list pressures and complications too.
Fair and equitable for both parties.
Might be my favourite post this year and I can smell the smoke from where I am so I keep laughing!thought this was the west footscray fire when I looked out my window this morning - turns out it's the server hosting the crows bf site...........

Can’t have been that secret....
Agree Arrow if Silvagni snares this younster and all goes well , one always needs some luck gets his body right he's a top 5 pick a great and addition to the our team.
Yes but we don’t need to be bringing in players who have actually been guilty

I will literally spew if we use our number 1 pick on McGovern.

Do you honestly think none of our players do drugs?
Agreed. I'm worried about the knees. I think the nose-candy is partly a thing of the past for him, and partly not that huge an impediment to success.
If we think his body is up to it and the price is right, he's a decent bet, I think. Can seriously play.
Not sold on Setterfield either. Why do we keep bringing in players with a big history of injuries or recurring injuries?
lol, you can bet that nearly half of the league uses some sort of drugs, its just unlucky he has been caught.
It would be so outlandishly stupid I can't believe it would happen.
But then, the good ol' CFC has shocked me before. I *think* those days of ineptitude are past.

Tell me who you think does?
I would have assumed KJ,Blaine, maybe Palmer and those kind of party boys but can’t imagine the likes of our young stars doing it.
All talk aside , and focusing on footy, especially midfield he's a gun, fine player. We all know that. Keep our fingers crossed , and for free well it would be huge for CFC.

If we take MM this year id much prefer Walsh. Looks a jet.
