News Freo Trade Talk

[apuchar]

Do we think we could throw in a John Anthony or Silvagni???

Jack, no way. I honestly don't know what Silvagni is worth. Truth is we would probably only need to trade player/s for 12 and keep 16.

 

[Pera]

We would probably be happy with a 2nd rounder. word is you offered a 3rd rounder.

And don't think thats a fair deal in the circumstances. If we do get him for a 3rd rounder, it'd be a steal. Not sure it will get the job done though. A 2nd rounder would have it done in minutes.

Do we think we could do a deal with GWS involving picks #12 and #13???...Fremantle trade pick #16 and player/s

Thoughts.....

Could be a step closer to making sure we get Shaw.

If that were to happen it'd be one or the other, 12 or 13, and i'm doubtful they'd want to even downgrade as far as 16. They seem to cherish draft picks more than hardened bodies this year.

Yep, imagine it would.

I see it now, we are after Fev!

His manager said today categorically that Fev will not ever play AFL again

Manager smanager! Can easy get another manager. Fev said bring it on. I believe!
FFC Premiers 2012 - Brendan Fevola 100 goals including 12 in the Grand Final.

Deadset. Is that what he said.
He would be sent to the wafl for 3/4's of the season to sort out his skin folds. Have you seen him recently.

 

[strobe00]

Have done a bit more reading on Wilkins at KPR's prompting.

If we don't grab a KPF with our first pick he mightn't be such a bad needs-type fit. Outside mid that can go forward and kick goals, apparently has very good pace, good skills and a good overhead mark.

Genuinely don't know bugg3r all about him except for what I've read. He may be a reach for our first... I dunno.

Now that I think about it... maybe this should go in the draft thread.

* scratches head... and toddles off *

EDIT: Is there a draft thread?

Where's Chris25 when you need him.
The draft thread will be coming. For now you will have to go to the main board

 

[Kickett Punches Read]

i struggle to fathom how jack anthony could ever be mentioned as part of a potential trade. At this point, memories would have higher trade value than that chump

 

[strobe00]

If the kid is anything like Crozier (heavier already from the sounds)... then IF we don't land a KPF with our first rounder, he might be a nice pickup.

 

[Freo2012]

I just hope we can find a home for him and at least cut the TPP cost of him by half - would anyone want him at half his contract rate?

 

[Kickett Punches Read]

i remember watching laine dunk it in an under 14s basketball game against my brother... was pretty impressive. As much as id like to say that i know someone within the inner sanctum, if it came down to a KPP or laine and we took laine, id be dark...... would be nice if we got him with a second or third rounder though. His draft camp results are probably tipping against that however

don't think we could get both of those picks, as GWS do love their early draft picks.
Having said that Silvagni was talking about getting big bodied players, so they could trade one of the picks (not both)
Clancee Pearce has a big body. hmmmmmmmmmmm
Anyway, one of the concerns with the draft is that teams with earlier picks will probably also be chasing KPF's, such as Carlton & Brisbane.
This means that I am hoping for Carlton to get Dawes or even Gumbleton & Brisbane to somehow get Tippett.
This could then pave the way for Shaw to get to our pick. (at 12 hopefully with Menzel our next pick)
I have a dream

Fair point. KPD is still a priority even if we can't jag a KPF.

Based on past years, we may still go best available with the first though.

Fremantle is all but out of the race for Gumbleton, content to go to the draft to bolster its list after securing Port Adelaide free agent Danyle Pearce.

The Dockers will do a deal with a Melbourne club for homesick tall defender Dylan Roberton, but no one has put their hand up for him yet.

 

[strobe00]

That'll make some Dons supporters very happy if true.

 

[Kunna17]

If Roberton wants to leave then we should let him ... Pick 17 from Collingwood would be handy. How About:
Freo - GWS
Pick 16, Silvagni and Ibbotson for Picks 12 &13
Then trade them and Zac Clarke for pick 5 (Bulldogs)

Trade Suban and Roberton for Pick 17 (Collingwood)
Then Trade Pick 17 and Kepler for Pick 11 (Carlton)

Conclusion: Get Picks 5 & 11 ... Lose Nobody of REAL importance to us
Zac Clarke (Craig Mollers Coming) Silvagni (May Need Low Draft Key Defender) Ibbotson (Upgrade in the likes of Broughton ... Forget 2012 he's a gun) Suban (Cant even manage a game but D Pearce) Kepler (Mason Shaw at 11)
5 = Stringer
11 = Shaw

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

Grover and VB have been replaced on the senior list by Spurr and D Pearce already. If we use picks 16, 38, 56 and 58 we will need to create 3-4 more sports on the senior list. Not to mention making room for Clancee.

Hence why pick 58 probably wouldn't be use for anything other than upgrading Clancee.

Upgrading Spurr still counts as a draft pick, so we could get away with only delisting/trading 2 others in order to take our minimum 3 picks.

That's some serious drugs you're on.

 

[Dudley Leopard]

According to a poster on the main trades and drafting board we are showing interest in Lachie Hansen. He might be ok for a low pick

Yep, which is why I said that we will likely not use our picks in the 50's this year unless we delist a few players.

Our first two picks 16 and 38 (or whatever it is) will be used to draft players. We will need to delist two more players to accommodate them on the senior list. 56 will be used for Spurr. But we may need to get rid of another for Clancee.

Annoys me that we are worried about picks in the 50's when next year GWS will have 25 first round draft picks on their list.

i don't really want to be giving up roberton for pick 58 just to elevate clancee, though, if i'm reading you correctly. i wouldn't be surprised if jack anthony is paid out. we've not recruited any big name players yet and if we snare someone like lachie hansen, we'd still have the cap space.
