Suckling is FA.
Aaron Young as he's been bandied around.... and yes, definitely a wish list with KPFs.
OK how about...
1. Treloar = 2015 1st Rd & 2nd 2016
2. Howe = 26
3. Matera = Seedsman
4. Suckling = 29 (BK/Toumpas)
5. Aish = 24 (Freeman to Saints) & Oxley
Then goto draft with picks 44, 62 etc..
Or (if Aish stays at Lions)
1. Treloar & 2. Tomlinson = 2015 1st, 2nd, 3rd Rds & 2nd 2016
3. Matera = Seedsman
4. Suckling = 29 (BK/Toumpas 3 way)
Then goto draft with pick 24 (Freeman to Saints), 62 etc... and Rookie list Shane Yarran (instead of Howe)
Either way we'd have some of our run and depth back and with a couple of fwd options
Just wanted to put a left field idea out around the trades.
What if Collingwood used the selections they get for Kennedy, Seedsman and Freeman and gave them to GWS on the basis that those points they collect would be the same value as the Rd 1 Selection.
Our selection 7 (and it may become 8) would have a value of 1644 points. If we gave across pick 22 (Seedsman to GC) & 24 (Freeman to Saints) it would equal 1630 points. Any difference could be made up by our last pick which will have a value of 123. That is a better outcome for GWS in that they get slightly more point.
It would also mean we preserve our Rd 1 selection this year for a player such as Weidemann (my early preference) or Ah Chee (probably a touch high but we need his type) as well as the pick we would get for Kennedy which my preference would be for a swap with Melbourne for Howe.
Its just a different way of getting the deal done with GWS and really its no skin off their noise if they just want the points. If they want the selection to use that would be different but I doubt it. Only thing would be they end up cutting deeper than we think and hence they do want a Rd 1 selection bc they get ample points from Carlton etc.
Like your thinking. But who knows what they are thinking right now.
This would obviously be advantageous in keeping a quality pick. However, wouldn't we then be required to use some very late picks in a weak draft to fill our list spots? How would you see this playing out?Just wanted to put a left field idea out around the trades.

Yeah, I think we will definitely go with 38 on the primary list. I misread your original post thinking we would be giving away three second round picks to secure Treloar, which was a bit concerning. But if it's only two and a late pick then that allows that other second rounder to be used in the draft or traded for a player.Thats right but they may decide then to go with 38 senior spots and 6 rookies. This would obviously help insomuch as could then delist a rookie after a year and also gives room to elevate Keefe and Thomas if need be.

I actually don't think it's that left field at all considering how the new FS/Acad bidding system works. And you're spot on the money because we find ourselves in a unique situation where we may accumulate heaps of points due to all the 2nd round picks that we may end up with.
This system (because it's new) is something that's bound to make it more confusing for the Northern teams to figure out, especially when they attempt to contemplate A - what teams might bid for their kids and B - how much the Academy kids will cost them. They won't know this until close to the draft, which is after the trade period yeah?
A friend and I were going through some scenarios the other night. In the case of GWS, I think we'd need to work out how much Treloar is worth first? The general consensus is our 1st Rd & 2nd Rd yes? Then work out a bulk trade with GWS involving a few picks.
yeah I agree with that you have to figure out his worth and a first and second i think is spot on. Particularly given our first is 7. Their issue will be they will say you guys got 5, 25 and a player for Beams and we think on an age relative basis Treloar is the equal so we want more. Thats not completely unreasonable.
The other side is what can others offer? I cant see Melbourne giving up their next two first rounders and clearly Saints cant either and absolutely no chance Carlton will so on the other hand there arent a lot of clubs who can trump us in Vic. the only one that might would be Essendon but they seem committed to kids.
So I reckon a first and a second rounder will get Treloar done and would hope Pies can either offer their first round next year to Lions or swap it with someone in this years first round. Not sure who that might be but oddly reckon GWS might be able to help solve that issue depending on what picks they get for Plowman etc. Also think the Swans might do that deal but its a late pick so will that satisfy Lions and is it any better than the picks we could otherwise offer having done other trades.
I still think Treloar lands at Pies......Aish not so sure on. I think Richmond will swoop for Aish with pick 12. Only other alternative I can think of is somehow we get a first round pick with Witts being put up. Suspect Richmond would take him with 12 and maybe something back from us. If we offered Lions pick 12 would be pretty sure they will accept.
How about this for a possible outcome then.
Firstly, is it fair and reasonable? Secondly, do you think this covers our losses and addresses some gaps? I know I'd be stoked if we could get this arsenal across to the Holden Centre!
TRADE:
1. Treloar = 7 + 22 (Freeman's pick from Saints)
2. Aish = 29 (BK/Toumpas 3 way) + Oxley
3. Howe = 26
4. O'Meara = 2016 1st Rd + Seedsman
DRAFT:
44 = Blake Hardwick or Hisham Kerbatieh (Dangerous Small Fwd/Crumber)
62 ?
80 ?
ROOKIE DRAFT:
1. Shane Yarran (age 25) - high risk but high upside... was 2015 WAFL Leading Goalkicker
2. Mitch Harvey (age 20) - A ruck/fwd longer term option. Insurance, especially if Wittsy departs next season. Delisted by Port and is Matt Rendell's nephew too.
Yes that ticks every box but history says v v hard to achieve that and would require 2m of cap space but you'd do everything to find it.
Jed Anderson is one I just realised is on market and am a HUGE fan of this kid. I really rate him. He could play HB, wing or HF and probably in a forward pocket as well. He has enormous talent. His speed and ball use will ....sorry would be terrific.
Jed is a young indigenous lad from N.T. yeah? Don't know much about him.... sounds like he could fill that small fwd role we've been missing.
If he's a fringe player, would he be worth the equivalent of say...Seedy?
Trade
1. Treloar = 7 + 2016 2nd Rd
2. Aish = 29 (BK/Toumpas 3 way) + 44
3. Howe = 26
4. Anderson = 24 (Seedsman's pick from Suns)
Draft
5. 22 (Freeman's pick from Saints)
6. 62
7. 80
How are we looking now?
He can comfortably play either. If Elliott is our #1 small forward, he'd be fine as a secondary crumbing type forward. But yeah he excels in the midfield. Good mix of inside and outside ability, hardness at the contest a real feature, chases and tackles strongly, good skills, reasonably fast. Will be the wingman we've missed since Daisy stuffed his ankle.Anderson is an outside mid, not a small forward. Still fills a need for us though.

Seriously, Anderson is a bigger priority than Aish IMO.

That's a big call rating him a higher priority than Aish but after a little thought it really starts to make sense.
From a list balance point of view he's undeniably a more pressing concern. As a player he ticks quite a few boxes we would want filled. His best is blistering and he had a run early in the year when he was tearing it up every week and really making people take notice. If we could land him and he got his consistency sorted we'd have yet another young player with killer talent added to our list.
Quick players and natural goal kickers with good football brains are a couple of pressing areas that need filling on our list. Landing Anderson and Shane Yarran would immediately make us a much more dadangerous outfit from an offensive standpoint. Wonder what the Hawks will want for him? He's still contracted if I'm not mistaken so he most likely won't come cheap.
