Matty White coming home for pick 12(0) .

According to some of this boards best experts, white is an elite midfielder so there is no way SKH would trade him for anything less than cotchin and martin

Good article.
I wonder who'd win in a fight between Trout and Joffa?

How much gut sucking going on in that photo? Lol

 

[Ned_Flanders]

He is 23 years old and still developing , I see alot of mummy in witts

He will be a good ruckman in 2 years time - definately interested

Still developing, that's the line flat chicks used to use back when I was in high school, and we all know that ended up with nothing but surfboards

Development only is worth something if there are signs of progression

Yeah but I'd still go to town on them

 

[Richo Rules]

I'd do Astbury and 31 to bris
21 and 39 to tiges

21 to blues for Yarran


That's if bris can trade compo picks

Not sure if this has been posted but for those who haven't read it a pretty good write up in 2010 on Jacob Townsend...


RAMS’ Jacob Townsend joins GWS

Team GWS has secured yet another exciting young footballer from Southern NSW with 17 year old Jacob Townsend of Leeton signing on to join the club for the next three years.

Townsend is now the sixth player from the region to join GWS under the Club’s zoning concessions.

Capping off a remarkable year, Townsend was earlier this month selected in the AIS AFL Academy Program, placing him amongst the best 30 young footballers from around the country. Adding to this impressive achievement, Townsend was the only player selected from NSW.

His work with the Team GWS TAC Cup side earned him the runners up trophy in the Club’s first ever best and fairest award and he now becomes just the second player to graduate from the GWS TAC Cup side onto the Club’s AFL list.

Townsend, a developing utility, came through the AFL (NSW/ACT) Talented Player Program and impressed earlier this year when he played a pivotal role for the Under 18 RAMS in the NAB National Championships.

Townsend said he was still in shock following a huge month for the Leeton teenager.

“It really is very exciting news and a pretty special time for me. It’s been a hectic few weeks but now I just can’t wait until it all starts.

“Coming from a small town like Leeton you just don’t get chances like this everyday. You have to make the most of the opportunities that you get, so I’m really proud that I can do this. With GWS now working in the area there are going to be just so many more opportunities for young players. I’m excited I get to be a part of that.

“I only started playing football when I was 13 so I didn’t really think I was ever going to be capable of playing at the elite level, but now it’s well and truly a dream come true.”

Team GWS High Performance Manager Alan McConnell worked with Townsend through the TAC Cup season and said that he was thrilled to have Townsend continue his development with the Club.

“With the stage he is at this is a fabulous decision for both Jacob and the Club. He now gets an extra year of development. It affords us the chance to develop him far more intensely than if he stayed home in Leeton.

“We think complementing his training with the personal development he’ll get from his year with the AIS program, along with his year of schooling here at Patrician Brothers in Blacktown, collectively that will be a really rounded program for him.

“It’s always been our stated position that we wanted to have as much NSW talent on our list as possible, it’s fabulous that another young boy from Southern NSW has been recognised with a contract at our Club.”

Townsend will move to Sydney in October to begin school at Patrician Brothers’ College Blacktown.

GWS remains committed to providing a genuine pathway and development opportunities for players from across NSW and ACT. Townsend now joins four other Southern NSW recruits Kurt Aylett, Sam Schulz, Anthony Miles and Mark Whiley along with Canberra’s Josh Bruce.

Crowley? Lmao now I've heard it all

 

[petro12]

What do we do in 2017 when Maric is 31? He can barely run or jump now. Hampson has dodgy knees, Vicks is a fwd who pinch hits in the ruck, McKenzie's a fwd, McBean is a fwd/ruck but a stick insect. We haven't been able to coax any premium/elite players to come to us this trade period and there's no guarantee we could get that genuine proven ruck in the next one. We need a ruck who can put it down the throat of our mids, so who's it going to be?

Wait for next year. Relax. You're talking a whole year away.

 

[MightyTiger]

If the club think's that Johnson isn't a good fit due to the age profile of our list then I highly doubt they would be interested in Crowley.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I'd have been open to Crowley for a couple of years to address an area sorely lacking but Townsend changes that.

 

[jesterx]

Guys why not Boomer? lots of finals experience and is the small forward we've been crying out for

Could not bring myself to have anything to do with him lol pass.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

Reminds me of how Nic Nit had it all over Kruezer back when they were juniors. .

Different draft years bro , vickers owned Nic Nat at junior level .

Lol, someone has hacked this account .

 

[Mick39]

Witts is a crab . Genuine proven ruck or keep going with what we have

Was named in the Under 22 Team of Year in 2014 & GWS offered a Top 6 pick for him last year.

With young ruckman, recruiters don't base their worth on what they have done but what they project forward as most ruckman don't develop until their mid 20's. Apart from Grundy, there isn't a young ruck like Witts, who has had multiple clubs offer Top 10 picks for him.

I'd rather be vegan

 

[GoTigers2015]

Was thinking about that last night.
Coll-Out of the running
Carl-Lets be honest who would wanna go there.Just ask Daisy Thomas how he feels now?
Geel-Cleaned up this year.No chance
Melb-Same as Carlton
Nth-We may a big play on Goldstein,They pay up which they will.
WB-Number of stars,Not to mention Tom Boyd.

Threats:
Essendon-Despite whats happened to the brand lately,They will have better picks and cap space.
Hawthorn-Biggest threat of all.Recent history suggests so.
StK-Same as Essendon.

There is always future 2017 picks tho

Would you accept pick 120

 

[VaultWanderer]

Wrong if you trade 2016 first round picks you cant trade 2017 picks that year
