Mega Thread Trade Targets 2018 (2018 Trade Period Discussion)

[Plugger46]

Where does he play at the Crows?

Just adds to our defensive stocks

What's the point then?

We're quite set with KPDs for the foreseeable future.

 

[Bob Neil]

Nup Wangaratta boy/Dandenong Stingrays, perhaps you have him mixed up with Bailey Williams/Glenelg.

Ah my mistake.

 

[Houston]

Neale Bullen is an SA lad isn't he? I reckon he'd be worth a look if Fantasia wasn't interested in returning home.

 

[Shaz2012]

So if Sloane nominates the Saints where do we rate a trade of Sloane for Billings? Who wins? Although Billings was taken with pick 3, he clearly is not a pick 3 talent. The kid probably isnt a forward either, having kicked 23.36 last year and is on 4.11 this year. I am wondering if St Kilda finished bottom 4 or 5, whether they would value their first round pick higher than Billings. I think I would personally prefer pick 4 or 5. But I would also be happy with a Sloane for Billings trade, provided he is willing to come on an affordable salary.

Would probably prefer pick 19.

Naa. Billings is still a pretty good player. Somewhere between 3 and 19 though.

Luke Dunston is a saints player and from SA I haven't seen him this year but I know he has talent

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Dunstan hasn't really come on at all from what I've seen

I'd pass personally. Not good fwd, not great in the middle, just a bit rubbish.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Stagnated & become a fringe player.

Doesn't appear to have any real weapons.

I'd definitely consider it. I guess we'd just need to back Haggis on what Talent would be available at the equivalent pick, and our coaching staff as to where they see him slotting in.

His kicking is woeful, but a new lease on life in the midfield could turn him around.

 

[SuperBashBros]

Give me pick 4 or 5 over Billings. Especially this years draft

Yeah if that's what we can get, great, I'd take that over Billings without blinking. But I doubt they would at all want to shift a pick that high for a 30yr old Sloane. Teams which think they're close might, potentially North (few good wins), Dons (over inflated egos) or even Hawthorn if they can.

IMO it'd just be stupid to be in the depths of a rebuild and give away a top 5 pick for a 30 year old .

Havent seen much of Billings, but have trouble following your logic here mate.

"This guy was pick 3, but he's really not that good and is terrible in front of goals".... "Hey, lets trade Rory Sloane for him"?

 

[Mego Red]

I can't see any side giving up a top eight pick for Sloane.

That’s somewhat my logic. I would prefer the Saints first. But they may not be willing, in which case we may be looking at a compensation pick that could be as low as 19. Would prefer Billings than 19.

 

[displacedaussie]

Target Grundy when he's out of contract

I don't think he has any interest in joining the Crows.

Ball burner.

I can’t either, but if we give back our Carlton pick or our 2019 second then we could get a high pick. But it needs to be higher than 8 I think.

Edit: I meant our 2019 first

 

[Plugger46]

He just needs to start a family

 

[Bicks]

Looking more and more like he might be able to be shaken loose from the Weagles.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Odd time to be leaving the Eagles. New stadium and they look like they're building a pretty damn good team.

 

[Shaz2012]

Smells like McGovern has already got a big offer from Victoria. Are there any good WA players that will go top 10 in the draft, or will the Eagles swoop in and take an SA boy. They dont shy away from recruiting from SA and we dont get many of them back.

Ian Hill (brother of Brad and Stephen) will probably go early. Very classy looking player.
