[Accepted 04]

How are you guys getting Prestia then?

Assuming he chooses Richmond.

Send the GWS pick to GC

Yellow and black.

Straight swap for Deledio?

Deal on my end

 

[purrrrrrrrrrfect]

So they lose Steele for a 5 pick upgrade.
That way to much in Saints favour.

They did the same sorta thing with Melb for Tyson

Yep, and got Josh Kelly. I think we'd have to careful about doing a deal like that, somethings it comes off like it did with us last year but sometimes you might miss out on a really good player and we really need top end talent at the moment.

I wonder which GWS fans would prefer. An upgrade of picks this year or next years second round pick?

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

If Essendon can receive another second rounder in another trade, I'd put up 19 for him.

That was to get up to pick 2 to pick a player they specifically identified. A lot of difference from getting pick 9 in return.

That was for a 7 pick upgrade to get a particular player they wanted at pick 2 Josh Kelly.
Melbourne did get a good deal, but those really high picks inside the top 3 are valued very highly.

Not sure how Melbourne got a good deal there, Kelly will be one of the best mids in the comp going forward. GWS also got pick 20 out of that deal.

Looking back, I think Melbourne would be regretting that one.

Ummm Tyson is a better player than Kelly at the moment. I think both teams are happy with the trade

LOL. Kelly >>>>> Tyson.

The point is they need to free up salary space so why not get rid of a fringe player to move up the draft

It's not like they need anymore picks on top of what they have & they have a few players out of contract/need to get rid of

See my post above

On my phone so can't quote you both in the one post

Cheers

Yes they need cap space, but Steele wouldn't be on big $$$.
They may not need more early picks this year, but they will want to secure point for next years draft.

So we give them our 1st next yr for 1 of their earlier picks this yr (to on trade for Prestia) plus anyone of Steel, Marchbank, Tomlinson etc..

Just a scenario I've been running on our board

You may get Tomlinson as steak Knifes but not Steele or Marchbank.
Steele and Marchbank would both get late first round picks on there own.
That would like them giving you two first rounders for one first round future pick.
Future picks are worth more, but not that much more.
Eg. We traded for pick 8 in the 2015 draft and gave GWS pick 14-16 in the 2016 draft

Noooooo Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Kelly is way ahead of Tyson

 

[adsla69k]

Next season Kelly will move well ahead of Tyson. Gee GWS have moved some good players on. They just keep purging talent for picks and keep the absolute gems!

Btw Steele will be traded to Essendon.

Swans : Towers, first round pick ( 15-18 )
Gws : Marchbank, Steele

Sydney would seem like a strange move for Steele to me. The only reason he'd want out of GWS would be opportunity. Sydney are loaded with inside mids, so I can't see why they'd even go after him.

Also, the reason Marchbank will most likely go is because he's home sick.

Ignoring all that though, Giants are getting ripped in that deal.

I'm not sure if you've watched towers play, pure talent not to mention his decision making!
but I'm also not sure two neafl players are going to command much more than a first rounder each

I've seen him play, he's been impressive at times, but he isn't dominating. And at 26 I don't think he's got a huge scope for improvement.

It's not uncommon for guys to be playing reserves in their second year of football especially in a good side, and let's remember they were both playing senior football before losing their spots due to injury.

If Towers is good at one thing, it's definitely not decision making. You could argue he single-handedly lost the Swans two games this year by poor decisions.
