Trading players that are in our leadership group currently ie Moore and Newman won't add to their value as we lack in that area as we know and the perception of them at other clubs would not be that great either.
As Ramps said in Newman's case a dime a dozen half back flanker. I still believe in a compromised draft that they both are a third rounder selection/trade.

Disagree, Newman should be a late 1st round pick, Moore a 2nd rounder easily
As teams look to top up before the compromised drafts, you'll find many clubs paying good returns for decent players and those two are the ideal candidates. We can afford to lose Moore less as he's a defender and younger than Newman too.

Newman late 1st Round, Moore 2nd ::)
What medication are you on ??????

Chris Newman is 28 next season, best football behind him, and you reckon 1st Round :banghead
And Kel Moore, round 2, hardly a world beater, struggle to get a game anywhere else.
You see,thats wrong at Punt Road, everyone falls in love with players who arent much good, thats why we are BOTTOM

If we don't try to trade one of Moore, McGuane and Thursfield we are mad. None are good enough to take on a key power forward, all would take 2nd and 3rd talls. I'd trade Thursfield first, who hasn't developed as I hoped. Moore would be second in preference due to his age.
I don't agree at all, its still too soon to make the call on Thursfield & McGuane, plus we have no one to replace them with unless we want to leak more goals than we are now. Moore is the most likely candidate to move on due to his age, however we need a few older bodies around like Moore.

Point is though we don't have anyone to replace them with right now, but over the next couple of years we are going to have to keep drafting for a real CHB to take gun power forwards. It doesn't make sense to keep 3 talls who are at or nearing their potential when none of them are really a good enough KP option.

The "POD" is 28, so only a couple of years left in him by your words
Remember a late 1st round pick this year is around Pick 25
