Where are you getting that from? Geelongs 1st and wc 2nd are 14 picks apart not 8.
I would only offer our 2nd rounder for sinclair

Not good with comparisons but tell me who you think of when you read my opinion of him.
Great tap ruck, ok leap, not fast but has enough endurance to be good at stoppages around the ground. (on the wings).
Not a goal kicker IMO. If you were to throw him outside of the ruck it would be as a defensive ruck or KPD on rucks that rest forward.
Don't think he has the potential to be a number 1 ruck but would be a very decent mature aged backup for 5 or so years.
I think he can really improve with an AFL standard fitness coach and facilities at his disposal.

Yep, The Big O was obviously drafted too late at age 30. At least Baulderstone is only 24.
Rookie listing him I think would be a lot better than rookie listing an undrafted 18 year old that won't do anything for at least 4-5 years and might not even come good.
Some weird rumors on the North board, some that I hope aren't true.
- Vickery wants to join North
- We are pursuing Jeff Garlett
- Offer to Waite has been withdrawn
- Not likely to get Shaun Higgins (do not want anyway)

Hawthorn, Essendon, Geelong and Collingwood have all been linked with Nick Malceski over the last month.
Collingwood are the current front runners as he contemplates a move to cover the soon to depart half-back flanker Heritier Lumumba.

He only deals in rumours - actual player movement isn't his go.

Not really that Id call slow. Wont catch Rioli or Motlop but I would classify in fastest 20% of players.
Disposal not that bad either. Not elite by any means but better than serviceable.
Did the Ac joint in Carlton game this year and just never got his touch back. Fell out of favour with CS it seemed then got some VFL form going and did a groin.
Has been listed as trade potential. Is probably better than what we would get for him.

Reckon you would need to give more, even though I think Reid is the most overrated player in the competition. Mitchell looks a young jet
I rate Hunt highly... he was developing nicely into a hard running ball winner in 2012. Obviously injuries got him this year but I'd be interested if the price was right.
If Armitage is traded then someone like Hunt would be very handy. Not replacing like for like, but a mature body in the right age bracket that can help protect some of the developing kids.
If Gwilt gets us band 5 compo (pick 39) would that do it?

Pick 39 probably a bit low but would entertain a swap of rd 2 picks.
You get Hunt and Geelong Rd 2.
We get Saints Rd2.

Can someone explain to me just what would Collingwood offer for Kreuzer? Or is the talk around seeing he can ben poached as a restricted FA next year?
I don't think there is any Gwilt compo, we've delisted him. Anyway, our 3rd round pick is currently 39 so band 5 would be 40, taking into account other compo it'll be 43 or higher.
Currently that would be Hunt+34 for 21. Eventually it'll be Hunt+37ish for 24ish. Probably not. I think Pelchen wants a few picks inside 25, unlikely to give one up for a 24 year old.
Who exactly can St Kilda give up for higher picks? Only hope is the FA compo; I just don't see what trade bait St Kilda has.
I think the talk is this year. However I'm thinking it's a rumour without much truth that has somehow gained legs. Would think Collingwood would have to give up a decent player. Their first pick will be used in Moore most likely
Malceski is a very good player but with our plethora of half back flankers, would Hawthorn bring another one especially one who would add to our aging list problem.
