West Coast need an elite clearance midfielder. Who is it and what do they need to give up?

So what you're saying is you want someone ranked in the top 20 in terms of inside midfielders, but you're not willing to give up anyone of value for them?

Thats quite the interesting trade, that i don't think either clubs would be interested in.

It would never happen but we need more outside runners and we have plenty of inside mids
I woulda thought a rebounding defender would be higher on the agenda?

We did draft a couple last year but the are not quite ready. Mal and Dre are doing a good job at the moment and Alex Johnson will be back for round one next year
Mackenzie should be on the no-trade list.
Once Glass retires he is central to our team balance.

I don't think either team would be willing to do it.
Underating of Gaff there, he's a star, finally learning to break a hard tag and its only taken half a season.
Most players take two years to get over hard tags.
Last two weeks he has been sensational against great opposition who targeted him with hard tags, and he
beat them, what's more he is starting to develop his inside game as well.

I know it would never get up, but how about Stephen Hill for Jack Darling? How do their respective "trade" values rank?

Well thats what you get for being a Wingman with pace. You will be tagged. You can not let guys like him run loose unless you want him to Damage your team.
Stephen Hill has had a poor season disposal wise because he has been heavily tagged. The upside of Hill being tagged, Danyle Pearce and Mundy are freed up to do damage on the scoreboard.
Won't happen, Darling would not be tradeable. Hill has talent but is inconsistent.

gilbert + our 2nd rounder for luke parker
Can't imagine what use they would have for Gilbert.
Sydney should value Parker about as much as you value Steven, a lot.

No way is Parker as valuable to the swans as Steven is to us. Steven and armo are the only midfielders we've got coming through that have shown something significant, Parker gets lost sometimes amongst the many midfield stars that Sydney has.
We don't have any more onballers running around in our reserves, though, other than a couple of rookie listed players who have been great at NEAFL level but might be a bit vanilla for the top level. We have McVeigh who can slot back into the midfield once we don't need him on a HBF but there isn't much more depth in that role. And ROK will be retired within a year or two. Bolton too, though he's not spent much time onball this year.
Parker may not stand out as much in our midfield as Steven does in the Saints', but he's still making a valuable contribution in there.
We actually have more depth to cover the role that Gilbert would play, with Alex Johnson to return, Dean Towers playing a similar role, and a lad called Alex Brown who may or not make it but would be ideally suited to that role.

You don't give away 20 year old star midfielders Gilbert and a second rounder is giving him away surely you can agree with that
That wasn't my point at all mate. An if he's out of contract and wants to come home it's a better deal than Jesse white pick 22 for Tippet.
