Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

We can't trade our first without bringing another first in.

 

[die waiting]

The way where tracking our first pick next year will be pick 1...

and ?

 

[Unfazed]

I'll go but take this for what it is

3 way deal being considered at the moment. GWS the only ones unsure

GWS IN: Pick 5 + (No Bid on Green at Pick 6)
GWS OUT: Pick 6 + Future 2nd

Sydney IN: Joe Daniher
Sydney OUT: Pick 5 + 25

Essendon IN: Pick 6, Pick 25 and GWS Future 2nd
Essendon OUT: Joe Daniher
--------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------

GWS think they'll finish Top 4 next year at best it's Pick 32 and believed that could be pushed back by GC compo (Again) and so many academy buy ups. They're also unsure if a bid will come inside the top 4 if the picks stay the same. If not at worse they pay pick 7 price and also don't believe Freo bother bidding

Is this for real? Pretty poor for us.

 

[Lore]

Is it just me or is there not as many guys “nominating” clubs this year. Is it happening but not being made public knowledge?

Has Ed Langdon nominated a club yet?

Supposedly going to Melbourne. It's not that they're not nominating, it's just not necessarily made public.

So if he kicks 40 goals and begs to go to them, they'll turn him down and we keep him? That's a terrible punishment.

 

[Haychh]

From memory last year he said we were getting gaff

I put him on ignore because I hate troll accounts. I just had a look and looks like he’s thrown another dart and hit with one. Also went spruiking Martin to Essendon was a done deal a couple months ago.

 

[Fridge16]

Xavier Menzies is clearly not a troll. We have been heavily into Gaff and also Martin which he posted about before the media got it. Just because the trade didn’t eventuate doesn’t mean it was never happening.

 

[westking]

He is a rookie prospect at best, highly unlikely we take him

Can we take him to keep the hate from other clubs/media?

As tempting as that is I’d rather address our needs and Johnson as another Snelling type doesn’t really fit the bill for us.

Your problem is you make too much sense. What are you doing here?

We all love you and your draft knowledge

If it was up to you, how would you approach the trade period, and which players would you draft

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Swans should hurry up and trade papaley and just get this shit over with.

I want to start speculating what we are doing with 5 & 9 already.

He suggested we'd be part of the Kelly trade before it happened snd took everyone by surprise. Reckon he's a bit closer than you are.

There's a chance instead of future 2nd it's Bonar

 

[Unfazed]

There's a chance instead of future 2nd it's Bonar

That's almost worse.

 

[Unfazed]

Daniher is an absolute truck of a person and lives in his own bubble. I am f*n delighted his gone. He is a ticking time bomb. 5 will get it done.

a month ago you said we'd get 5 and 9 (or 4 and 8) as it was then. Why are we accepting less now?

Not even Bonar? A big pass from me.

Because he's talking bollocks?

If it was up to you, how would you approach the trade period, and which players would you draft

There is always two ways to go into trade week and that’s to identify players and get them into your club or to improve your draft position with the players leaving.

This is a draft with little quality talls and with Daniher leaving we need to address that and if we can’t get any quality established forwards or young up and comers we need to bite the bullet and take someone like Josh Jenkins, he obviously isn’t of Joes caliber but he more often than not takes a good defender and doesn’t look to be slowing down yet either.

With the money we will have with Daniher leaving we should be going hard for another inside mid and Brad Crouch makes a lot of sense and with the picks we would get for Joe we should easily be able to not only pay him good money but also adequately compensate the crows with a trade.


It’s unpopular but if we can’t get a topline inside mid I’m looking at getting Sam Powell-Pepper with one of our 2nd rounders as he goes into our best 22 straight away and plays a brand of football which I believe works in finals footy, can shank some kicks but hey we aren’t paying up a first rounder for him.

If we are interested in Cutler I’d pair him with Corey Lyons and send lions a future 3rd rounder. Lyons is as consistent as they come as an inside mid and he is a fairly decent option forward aswell and is exactly the type of midfield depth we need.

Ask me on the draft when our picks are finalised as I have too many names I could look at haha I have certain favourites like every year and Brodie Kemp and Deven Robertson are two I really like as top 10 picks one with huge upside and another that I believe is a future captain and Selwood type of mid.

Not sure if you answered my question or not. But either way, no need to apologise...ever!
