GWS chasing Nathan Foley [rumour]

[mightytiges]

It's well documented that GWS want senior players for their mini draft picks, and not draft picks.

Foley + Bock compo pick is probably around the mark to get one of those draft picks.

However, I don't think it's enough to snap up O'Meara. Crouch, perhaps.

Weird situation this one.

GC will offer pick 4 for O'Meara while Port are chasing GWS' pick 3 in a swap for their pick 6 + some fringe Power players. The top sides will probably offer GWS some fringe or bottom 6 player plus even their first pick in mid-20s for O'Meara. Foley + the compo pick which is a top 20 pick next year would top any of those you'd think given as you say Cotch GWS want experience players who can walk into their best 22 next year. Foley alone may gain us something tempting.

The Foley rumour is supposively for pick 5 not mini-draft. GWS will take pick 4 for mini-draft then trade pick 5 to us.

Richmond should only do it for a top pick in the mini draft not for this national draft.

Well Pick 5, 14 and Compo Pick would give us some real trade power if we didn't want to look at the draft. We could on trade Pick 5, or keep it and trade out Pick 14.

All just rumors though anyway, doubt GWS would give Pick 5 for Foley.

Pick 5 in this Draft would be very handy, would be much the muchness to pick 4 in the mini draft but at least we will be able to start developing the player straight away.......

agree TfT
A top 5 pick is a top 5 pick, the talent at the pointy end of this draft is just as good as the talent in that mini-draft

thats actually something i have been wondering about.

If we, or any other club for that matter, get a pick in this kiddie raffle, surely we would have them playing with out affiliate club so we can start influencing their development straight away?

[gerkin greg]

yep permission can be sought to have them play seconds just not seniors
also think they play TAC

Apparently stronger pointy end than last year.

Also interesting to note another forum has the original rumour from today which apparently came from SEN and it said it was for pick 4. (doesn't state ND or mini-draft) Mini-draft makes more sense seems GWS lose nothing.

Agree top 5 pick in U/17 for me please.

[Dubstep Dookie]

Assuming at a stretch that this actually happens, what are peoples thoughts about on trading pick 5, combined with a sweetener for Goddard?

so you'd knock back drafting one of this year's top 5 kids so you can reach for a kid that may or may not be in next year's top 5 AND can't play seniors for 12 months?

madness

[Jackstar is back again]

I would trade Dookie to Big Footy for nothing in return
