What cap space?Plenty of options for Coll.
They now have the space cap to get a Moloney in FA, could even make a bid for Clinton Young (both FA's). It isn't entirely a matter of 'replacing' Wellingham for a 'like for like'.
Thank you sir....Watching Fox Footy us v GWS Koby is not playing like someone worth pick 27...
There are some genuinely distorted views on the value of pick #18 in the draft around here...
Look at the last 10 years of #18 picks:
2011 - Brad McKenzie
2010 - Matthew Watson
2009 - Luke Tapscott
2008 - Luke Shuey
2007 - Alex Rance
2006 - Leroy Jetta
2005 - Max Bailey
2004 - Cameron Wood
2003 - Llane Spaanderman
2002 - Kris Shore
I mean, there's a couple of wins, a couple of average players, but the odds suggest that this pick is nothing to write home about.
Sharrod is a premiership midfielder who's just entering his prime as a player, who fits your needs perfectly, and who is coming from a rival who are still in their prime. While he's out of contract, he's not getting to West Coast unless we trade him to you, so we're not going to get bent over a barrel in this deal - Your first pick alone MAY end up getting the deal done, but that's unders for the player you're getting.
Talk of giving us a 2nd and 3rd rounder, or two 2nd round picks is ridiculous...

Moloney would be asking more than the $275K reportedly offfered to Wellingham

Lol, exciting times but keep it in your pants.If we can get Wellingham, another good mid in the draft, our best 22 fully fit for most of the year boy I've got a fat over 2013, and wouldn't mind seeing Newman and Dick up their game either
Got anything better than 27?Thank you sir....
What if we pose the question differently. Is there an existing WC player that both Collingwood and WC would be willing to trade for Wellingham?

Thank you for saying this. I am sick of people saying that James Walker at pick 6 was justified as he is the best pick 6 ever.That's not the way to assess the value of pick 18.
Draft picks are an opportunity, so you should look at the best players available at that stage. What kind of opportunity is on offer at that stage in the draft?
Look at 2003. Sure, Brisbane took Llane Spanderman, who didn't do much. But they could have taken David Mundy or Sam Butler or Sam Fisher. The value of the draft pick isn't determined by who was chosen, but by the opportunity to pick from the remaining players at that stage in the draft order.
Melbourne took Jack Watts with pick 1 a few years ago. Does that mean the top pick is suddenly not as valuable? Hell, no. It just means that Melbourne chose poorly. Equally, the fact that some clubs have chosen poorly with pick 18 doesn't make the pick any less valuable.
If you want to assess the value of pick 18, you should go through those drafts and list the best players still available at that stage. That's what determines the value of the opportunity represented by pick 18.
Don't want to be the rain on this parade but the link to the article about Wellingham wanting to come us just gone blank.
Looks like Sharrod forgot to break up with his ex before committing to a new beau
