I am tipping this to be the quietest trade period ever for the Tigers. 
Don't think we will be involved at all and won't target a free agent either.

don't bet on it :shh

1 trade and 1 f/a plus 4 nd picks would mean two more delistings. which two.

With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

Our players need to be played where they are most damaging, that has been evident when certain players have been left in the position that suits them and the team structure.
spot on wat.
nothing wrong with trying players in different possies to find where they play best, but playing them in positions where they continually struggle when they have a better natural possie to play in is literally crazy.

we dont have any players who are genuine utilites so why play em where they are most vulnerable.we have had so mny who were as juniors good in a position but for some reason we steadfastly refuse to play em there and they end up failing to develop in either position.

i never get their thinking, they want a mid and draft flankers in the hope of turning them into mids, they draft tall defenders and try to turn em into fwds, they draft tall fwds, wait a minute do they draft tall fwds nope they draft potential ruckmen and play em fwd. what fwds they do draft they play em back.as far as i can see the only tall fwd we have whos played there permanently right thru is riewoldt and we get 50 60 goals a yr from him.
ive put this question to you before, but never got an answer, so ill try again.

you are making the selections draft night. the coach/football dept has said we need a chb.

your pick comes around and there are 4-5 kids who have been playing CHF that you rate as better players than best who has been playing CHB.

who do you pick?

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Can one of those CHF's be a swingman and play CHB as well?

IMO you should always draft the best player possible with your first pick, then use second and third picks to get players for certain positions.

If you pick up a gun mid with your first pick you could always trade him later.
