How about Hampson to St Kilda, Gwilt to GWS, One set of drink bottles, good used condition to Richmond?
I'd even let the GWS players pee in the bottles first.

Quicker just to list who I wouldn't offer up:

Cotchin, Martin, Vlastuin.

Rance?

What do we gain Dook ?  He's arguably our best player so we get a good player in return. Is that it ? What do we gain there ? Or we get a high draft pick who may be a Scully or Trengove.
He also signed for 5 years when he'd never played a single final for us in 8 years. He could've left for more success and better coin but he stayed loyal. He's a tiger and a gun.

WP if us here can see glaring holes in the list that need plugging with quality ,surely the staff at RFC who get paid well can see it too

We could all see that Miles needed promotion early in the season but those fools didn't.

He'll be 28 at the start of the season next year. How many more seasons left in him? 2? 3? Who knows. 

May as well trade for a high draft pick (who may be a Martin or a Cotchin)

At least 3-4 years of good footy left in him.

He's a very important player for the club. Good example is the run and carry he added that was so evident in his return game from injury VS Geelong.

Not tradeable for me.


Would happily trade:
Grigg
Conca
Vickery
Foley

This club amongst other things needs a quality shutdown player. We cannot continue to use Grigg in that role. He is not up to it.

Conca

Can't see to happening

Let's be honest be daring at trade time isn't our forte

Honestly, what would we get for him?
He's been injury riddled and never gone into a season fully fit. We'd be lucky to get a 2nd round pick. I get the logic with lids, it would be a bit like the schwass and grant trade all those years ago, maybe orourke? As supporters we have a right to a view but don't get trapped into an ideology that always assumes a best case.
If you are happy with the eagles 2nd round pick for Conca and maybe orourke for lids ok - that would be the best we can expect for either of those players
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Losing rance

Would be a greater handicap than losing Martin

IMO

Let's be honest, Peggles knows how to write an apology.

Maybe it's instinct. Maybe it's coz Vermont Under 10s bankrupted the canteen bought out all the push pops

Not sure Vlastuin has done nearly enough to be considered "untradeable".
Promising but hardly indispensable.
It's that simple Spud

He,Morris and Miles are the only three in the team who consistently don't hesitate putting their bodies on he line.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
