If it's 29, Wc could then do this
29 and 37 (1136 points) to Sydney for pick 23 (815 points)

Sounds like Rosa for 31 is the deal and I think Suns and Eagles are working on finalizing it now.
Solid compensation for Rosa and gives West Coast a 3rd X 2nd round pick

Combining 36 and 37 would suffice.
Bear in mind that GWS may yet end up with pick 20/21 from Carlton.
Deal completed according to trade radio. Will be made official shortly.
Thanks for your service, reliability and willingness to stay with the club even when the go home factor was strong Matt Rosa. I'm sure he'll slot into the Gold Coast team smoothly. Don't think they would have given up 31 for him if they didn't rate him.
Tall midfielder which to be honest GC isn't stacked with, a lot of experience and leadership and will be an outside running presence in there team

Overs for us IMO
At 29 next season and already fringe - Rosa was offering little more than depth.
With the likely inclusion of Jetta, Redden, Duggan and Mackenzie to our best 22 from the GF - that pushes Rosa out of our best 25.
Getting 2nd round compo for him when I couldn't imagine he'd be with us in 2017 is a great deal for us.
As a good servant for our club - I hope he gets a good pay packet at the Suns and prospers.
Rosa will be a good player for GC.
It's worth noting that even though he's a fringe player, no WC supporters were speculating on using him as trade bait or wanting him gone prior to him signalling his intentions.

West Coast have done well with this trade. I wouldn't have offered any more than a pick in the 40's for him.

You need depth to win premierships. We have improved our best 22, but harmed our depth. I would have preferred to hold on to him, given he would have been first man in, in event of injury. Even if he left for nothing next year, we would have developed some of our youngsters better to cover for his loss.
Good pickup for the Suns.

Ciao, Rosa- and thanks for all the Dream Team points in 2014.
Nah, in all seriousness I'm very sad to see him go, thought he had a lot left to give for West Coast, but on the other hand, the fell deserves guaranteed first-team football and I'm sure he will have a blast on the Gold Coast and will have a great career there!

In the GF we effectively had 22 of our nominal best 23 playing. Perhaps Best 24.
We have depth - given the likely ins - Butler/Brown/Hill/Hutchings/Lycett will be all depth.

I would rather Rosa as midfield depth than Hutchings.
We should be ok, but I think he would have added more than what pick 31 has to offer.

You might - the MC clearly rated Hutch ahead though - and he is 5 years younger
Good pick up for the Suns, he's a good player and total pro.
Good trade for WCE, perhaps slight overs given his age.
All the best to him, he's been a quality player for us over the years

Good luck to Matty at the Suns. Good for him, the Suns and the Eagles got more now than they would have got from the compo pick in 12 months.
Rosa at 29 years of age = pick 31.
Selwood at 25 = compo pick 37.
Thanks for nothing AFL.
Now lets see if we can upgrade a couple of picks to something in the 20's.

Rosa will be a good pick up for GC especially now the interchange cap has come down . Will run hard all day on a wing and burn most opponents off . Also played very well of Hbf this year so he has versatility .
31 is probably fair considering the weak draft and being contracted . Melksham was pick 25 FFS . We won't get a player as good as rosa at 31 this year
