As always at trade time I'm actually more interested in who we ship out rather than who we bring in.

I'm still hoping we ship someone with value to get a better draft position, doubt we will as we never do. That where we really fail IMHO. We show no guts in trading our players out to try and get better

Didn't Dimma say we tried that last year & the player(s) involved didn't agree to the move ?
yeah, i think so. His numerous statements that players should be able to be traded without their consent seems to fall in line here.

As for trading out players, In recent times we have hardly had an abundance of players with trade value to warrant this.

You are likely simply robbing peter to pay paul, and unless you are getting top 20 picks, quite possible going backwards.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

We have players now that have value, we as supporters may not think they do but other clubs do.

If we can get a pick earlier by trading out, then you'd be foolish not to look at it IMV. If say port Adelaide came to us and offered their first round pick for say Eliis B, wouldn't you consider it? Ditto Gold Coast?

As for a 1st round pick after ours, again if say Conca would get us Freo's or the Eagles 1st round pick why wouldn't you do it or at least consider it?

i did say in recent times
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

and despite what most think of conca, I'd want more than pick 16 or 17. i would take the risk on Freos 1st pick from next year though.

Well, unfortunately for you no club would offer anything better because they're run by men who know a stuffn shitman when they see one.

If we can get a 1st for Conca and a 2nd for Astbury we should take it and run, never look back.
