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

[pantskyle]

In the next 3 drafts we already have 2 mids Waterman, Matera, plus a really good mid this year if that is who we choose so do we really need to get a mid that may or may not make it at 31? To be honest I would rather Charlie Cameron or Dwane Wilson at 31 But some of the things said about young Boots are pretty appalling.

Should have quoted me for added affect.

We get it ROO DOGG

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Well losing Thomas is like us losing Le Cras
And losing Shaw is probably the equivalent of Hurn.

So yeah we'd probably get a good deal for those guys.

Hurn is 2 years younger and would not be told he's no longer wanted at the club.

Thomas and Shaw have 1 AA between them. Just think given the injuries (Thomas) age and personality clash (shaw), they've been very fortunate.

I'm just making a comparison of players as to why Collingwood received so many high picks/players for their trades.
It's not like they gave up nothing, they'll be hard to replace.

Thomas is a better player than Le Cras and both have had major injuries - both leave holes in their team.
Hurn is a great player, but I'd imagine Shaw's loss would be similar to us losing Hurn.

So lets grab Bootsma in two years when he leaves Carlton and we get him for free.

Just like we are getting yeo for free

At there best Thomas isn't fit enough to lick LeCras boots.

Shhhhh.

I'm presuming Bootsma will be so mad they tried to trade him that he will walk into psd.

Sadly, if this trade period is anything to go by, we'd be looking at giving up our 1st rounder in 2 years for him

Sorry, I know you like to be quoted.

Err, no he isn't. Thomas is criminally overrated.

 

[ziad]

well that was an exciting day

I am not unhappy about Bootsma - just the vibe nothing logical

Collingwood Thomas?

I agree, to an extent. When fit he was a great hard running wingman, however at LeCras best, he is the best small/med forward in the game.

Thomas would be more valuable to us given our midfield predicament, however a fully fit LeCras is probs the better player overall.

Trade period clearly needs to be 3 weeks long.
This is just crap.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

I'd be happy to swap ash smith+49 for Bootsma . Physically late developing but has the right tools to be a solid player for us . Look at fyfe in his first 2 years bit of a bean pole then at the start of this year he was huge !

Think it's mainly for the players and clubs to be honest.

Somehting dodgy going on down the road?????

Lol why would we take Charlie Cameron at 31. He probably won't get drafted let alone using a 2nd rounder on him. If Charlie Cameron is the reason we downgraded all out picks and kept our 2nd rounder i'd be a tad worried.

If impey is around at our pick 28/31 I wouldn't be upset if we took him. He will be a gun I reckon.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Ive got nothing against Bootsma as a person, but we dont need another project backman, we need classy midfielders, and we arent going to get good mid prospects by trading away top picks for later picks and then losing upgraded second round picks on fringe players at other clubs who cant cut it.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens..

 

[Truckosaurus]

If we downgraded pick 6 just for Brisbane to stuff around and try and retain Yeo, I'm going to be pretty pissed.

fyfe was a gun from the get go, skinny but was a superb player. it wasn't until after he done his shoulder he took his game to another level.

Do you actually believe that?

fyfe was always awesome.

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.

IMO there is a very good chance that one of them will still be available at 11.

Remember neither could test at the draft camp so a lot of other youngsters have stepped up to claim interest. Broken collar bone and dodgy shoulder does not help your draft standings.

 

[Obeanie1]

That Gold Coast membership is looking great right now... I've loved the Eagles my whole life but I'm not going to endure this shit.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[Eagle87]

I'm with you.

Lecca is the one that's overrated somewhat on here. Thomas at his best has arguably been Collingwoods most damaging offensive player (from that wing, half back, high half forward position)...

He isn't anywhere near as consistent as Pendles and Swan and he is prone to injury but he can turn games and own games ...

Lecca is a very nice half forward who has had limited impact when played further up the ground. At his best an elite finisher but ultimately a similarly brittle body who is a fixed half forward who lacks in defensive pressure.

Thomas is a better player than Lecca. We really overrate Lecca....
