Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - Trade Period Edition

If we do give 28 we hopefully get 45 back. 31, 45 & 49 then packaged up for a pick in the early 20 s perhaps?

 

[maxrm]

Sounds like it'll Pick #31 based on many reports I've seen. At least it better be! Or else a riot will likely ensue, or at the very least a West Coast Board meltdown on Bigfooty...

And here's a conspiracy...
West Coast recruiters actually want to be left with one of there 'bracket of players' so that if the player they select isn't as good as the others, the recruiting staff won't be held responsible for a crap decision because they didn't have the opportunity to draft the other players in the first place

2013 Offseason News ‏@theafloffseason 2m
News coming through from 3AW is that West Coast and Carlton may do a straight swap with a player for Josh Bootsma......

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

If it is a player i hope it is not Smith and not Shep.

Surely we have no interest in Bootsma , oh dear .....

 

[Eagles 4 Mine]

Wow. Most of his highlights are him taking possession, bursting away from opponents half his size and coolly hitting a target.

Worth a late draft pick even (49)?

PASS

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

With the mass exodus of players wanting back to their home states this off season I have a sneaking suspicion Sheed will be there at 11.

Except the majority of them want out of Brisbane, who don't really have the option of selecting Queensland boys.

I love the smell of a bigfooty meltdown in the morning

PASS

WHY?

 

[Lucky Luc]

He's listed at just 181 and 75kg which is small.

Kerry was 175 and 80 kls , did it stop him?
Watch him play, he is worth the risk.

WHY?

Sorry mate didn't excite me from what I seen ...

I don't think there is much risk. I think there is a lack of upside compared to someone like Cripps who had a similar quality championship. Kerr was an absolute dynamo, few players like him.

We've got lots of sub 185cm midfielders already and more coming in 2014/15 as both Waterman and Matera are around 180cm and 80kg.

Which is?

It makes sense more generally if our recruiters think there's little difference between the 6th-15th ranked kids but a big drop-off after the top 30. Even if we didn't get Yeo (or left him for the PSD), it gives us a third crack at the top 30 (or 31) for what is a negligible loss at the top end.

Draft starts dropping off before 30. Starts dropping of pretty steep after 20-25. And last time i checked 31 >30 and therefore 31 is not a top 30 pick. Its pretty obvious that we pushed for pick 31 so we could on trade it for yeo. And since we did the trade before we had confirmation from brisbane that 31 was good enough i would definitely say that was a pretty incompetent move on our part.

 

[no1bankteller]

Surely he spelt his surname wrong... Is that even pronounceable?

Yes it is. Crno = black brnja = NFI

Needless to say its a Balkan surname. If I had to guess I would say Montenegran.

Probably a two minute YouTube clip..

 

[Cox for PM]

Just read on the age website that Carlton will not trade Bootsma to us because they do not like the players we have offered up

 

[Darling565]

Thoughts on Matt Crouch?

 

[Milenko]

Again with the Bootsma?!

Pass the crack pipe Craig

 

[WCErevival]

Pass the crack pipe Craig

We are probably trying to offload a potential delistee for a depth defender.

This is one of the more less talked about players in the draft pool. Massive kid from Albany with a huge boot on him. Only played in Perth for the first part of the season. My guess is he's a rookie prospect but he was highly ranked and stood out early in the season.

Sounds a bit like Clancee Pearce?

Who wouldn't want Nic Nat in their team???????

He'd be a rookie prospect.

OK , so if were targeting an inside midfielder who will still be left at pick 11 & 31......
If you think Sheed or Acres will we still be available , pass the pipe because those drugs must be really good.

 

[ROO DOGG]

It's more that the media jump onto it every offseason that sparks the paranoia. Stevens may have pussied out and Ebert's circumstances were unusual, but E87 is right in that we haven't really suffered from it. Our retention rate is reasonable.

Collingwood has lost way more players than we have

West Coast finally secured Brisbane’s Elliot Yeo for pick 28, and are hoping to acquire Carlton’s Josh Bootsma for pick 31.
