Ok well our season is once again done and dusted. So its time to do what we always do about now and that is to speculate on how the club should engage in trading and drafting. Fire away people!

1) best available player with first three picks. List balance with the rest.

2) poach a genuine CHF/KF from another club.

3) lure a decent back up ruck option and don't pay much for him.

4) nab a decent player via free agency.

First Round pick to GC and 400k to GC for Caddy as a start

Time to get serious Ramps we are pathetic at devloping our own so we might as well try and buy our success.

We have the money because lets face it outside of the cream the rest of our list is worth about a used condom

Would RFC look attractive to an out of contracted KP player ?

A back up ruckman for Ivan. Derickx is gone and so is Browne if he is not contracted. We are stuck with the King Island Cream Puff for another year and lets face it noone will be interested.

McIntosh, Hille, Hampson,

Get Caddy to the club plus another couple of midfielders one outside one inside.

A monster full back. Alipate Carlisle would be good.

Free up Griff at CHF.

Give captaincy to Cotch.

That should bolster our stocks and add some extra quality and depth for starters.

We need to get to a stage where blokes like Jako who are regulars now and pushed out of the side and blokes like Titch who some think he is coming along nicely and is a possible middle tier player now should be downgraded to a third tier standard of player because we have filled needs of depth and quality in the second tier that complement the class we have at the top.

We need a half back, but first picks go on talent.  If we can find another Ivan Marcic type great but don't spend too much on one

Tim membrey is the pick I want. A big strong lad who can play forward or back. Could be the next roughy   No more small guys big and strong please

Delist -
Browne, Derrickx, MacDonald, Conners, Webberley, off the main list. (5)
Miller, A.Maric, Darrou, Wright from the Rookies list. (4)

Put Up For Trade
Newman, Post, Houli, Nahas, Jackson, Graham*, White*, McGuane* (8)

* Delist if no deals made.

Could end up with 8 Delistings: Browne, Derrickx, MacDonald, Conners, Webberley, Graham, White and McGuane.

In terms of who comes in too hard to tell at this stage but in the draft Im hoping for Mayes or Colquhoun with our 1st pick and I also like Montgomery from SA as well maybe a 2nd rounder here. Some VFL lads also deserve a chance like Dwyer, Martin and Cain whilst theres probably some decent players playing in the SANFL who are in their early 20s.

We will probably trade a pick for a ruckman and we should seek to bring in a player via free agency. Thats it for me. I dont think we will be very active at all. The 2013 draft seems much better anyway.

What a stupid move that would be ...he done nothing at all to impress me, when you consider we could use our no 1 selection to get anotherplayer of ellis ilk , the decision is obvious

yeah thats it lets recruit another slow mid 180ish half back flanker

Caddy would fit nicely into our midfield. Cotch goes down then what?? we need cream in our midfield

your dreaming if you think Caddy isnt impressive

We dont get a grade players unfortunately daniel, we happy to get the likes of Houli and Grigg and thats all. We wont do anything decent in the trade period. Our administrators dont have the balls for it.

Anyone who goes to the games can see we need 'bigger bodied " players

Hence why we should be using middle to late picks on state league players who are over 21 yo. IMHO.

We need to look at a club like St Kilda who have salary cap issues and raid them accordingly.

A kid like Siposs as a midfield half fwd given his age and size would fit in beautifully.
