Strategy Jason Horne-Francis: North trade him to Port for massive unders

[LeftyLuke]

No more than Rankine though. Lots of whispers regarding his off-field level of professionalism. Surely you can’t discount JHF value for it and flatly ignore it with Rankine.

That's alright if Rankine plays up we will ship him off to Geelong for nothing to play in their next flag.

New York pizza is the best I've had. The best here in Adelaide is Marryatville Pizza Pan imo.

ive not been there but my grandparents used to take me to a pizza place in marryatville in the 70s and it was fab I think it was near the cinema

im going to try this place when im there next thanks for the tip

That will teach him.

Let's sell the farm for one player who really hasn't proven diddly squat at AFL level yet, not to mention the hit the player culture would take if we forced out a talented youngster that committed to the club a year into their rookie contract.

You're talking 2 picks likely we'll inside the top 10 and Rachele a pick 6 in that scenario.

So in effect 3 top end picks for a player a long way from a proven AFL talent at this point.

Madness.

No. Pick 5 and Rachele. Next year's first for Rankine.

I did preface it by saying' given they're okay with being traded' but no one seems to be able to read.

Rachele is as unproven as Horne. Pick 5 is even more unproven. Yes it's a lot and Rachele had a lot of potential, but like I said, how long do we maintain a mediocre midfield for? Gotta take a risk at some point.

No way am I giving up Rachele. He's a match winner and oozes class and X factor.

I'm beyond excited to see Rankine and Rachele team up in the forward line. With bursts through the midfield.

Yeah that's fine. I like both players. Just can't complain when we get smoked in the midfield for years to come.

So you've completely discounted Rankine and Rachele's midfield potential. OK.

I seem to recall Rachele looked pretty good when he had a run on ball albeit briefly.

 

[Mutineer]

No but a toby green level he might get to...i would not be wanting to lose that at all

And hasn't Toby Greene looked like a jet when played on ball...we might see more of that with Taranto and possibly Hopper departing.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Pick 5 and Rachele? No

Pick 5 and Doedee? Yes

We should def put all of our chips into small forward / midfielder hybrids rather than having pure midfielders.

Absolutely agree with this sentiment. Sick of hearing players that "could/might/maybe transition into the midfield". We'll go nowhere near a premiership until we get a couple of elite PURE midfielders.

Yep they measure up to Danger and Fyfe in particular

They don't, but you also don't get them if you don't bother trying

 

[Apsaalooke]

We are not giving up Rachele. End it right there.

Yep have changed it to Worrell. Neither will happen of course

Berry is pure mid and his rate of improvement would suggest he will become A grade

Schoenberg is a pure mid - inconsistent-difficult to rate or put a ceiling on him

we have some options. i didnt want 5 used on rankine either and wanted a mid taken with 5 but i do think rankine and rachele will rotate through centre bounces and surprise you

the only players i can see being offered for any trades that were first or second round picks would be jones, mchenry, hamill (2nd) , hately, gollant (2nd), mcasey, crouch (2nd)

WC lose in this
If ports F2nd pick was the only stumbling block (AFL block) with this then they just needed to trade for a F2nd from someone for this years 36 - that should have been archievable - someone else must not be happy probably WC

 

[Scorpus]

West Coast and North both lose in the proposed trade.

West Coast give up the extremely valuable 2 for just 8 and 12, while giving up Rioli AND 40 for a future 2nd and 3rd

North give up pick 1 for pick 3 which is balanced by also receiving Port's future 1st. But then they only get pick 2 and 33 for JHF

clearly this trade was made up by port

Both Berry & Schoenberg have spent significant time up forward, so they can play as midfield/forwards to deepen our midfield rotations.

Hopefully Pedlar also in the mix.
