'Twas a ploy to throw the other clubs off whilst BJ Hartley moved in on Cloke. Great work by tigers.

ANY CLUB hoping to prise Jaeger O'Meara away from Gold Coast will likely have to offer a salary of up to $700,000 a season and at least a top-five draft pick or two first-round picks.

CLUBS are ramping up their interest in second-year Essendon forward Jayden Laverde, who remains unsigned heading into the off-season. The Bombers are just two weeks away from ending their 2016 campaign with Laverde a key player still out of contract for next season.

According to former board member Nathan Bourke, St Kilda has a plan in place to lure Docker Nat Fyfe to the club via free agency next year.

It remains a mystery, but where do you think Michael Hurley will end up? Stay with Essendon, or head to the Western Bulldogs, Collingwood or Richmond?

Laverde would be a great pick up IMO. I wanted us to draft him the year we took Cellis so I've kept an eye on him since. Will become a very good player IMO. A good size kid (190 odd) that will end up a mid.

Laverde would be worth having a massive crack at. He will be a gun. Give em Ellis and our pick 24.

Laverde talked his way to the Bombers,it's a money grab.

get steele and tomilson from gws keep our first rounder and get the might yazz gee whizz dimmas 2017 could be bright be his best list in years

[Andyy]

Assuming ladder positions/picks as current I would be happy with:

Deledio to GWS for Steele + Tomlinson
Vickery to Carlton for pick 21
B Ellis to Hawthorn for pick 19
Edwards + pick 21 to GCS for Prestia
Lennon + pick 19 to Collingwood for Cloke
Conca to WCE for pick 31
Houli to GWS for pick 32

In:
Prestia
Cloke
Steele
Tomlinson
Pick 31
Pick 32

Out:
Deledio
Lennon
Edwards
Conca
Vickery
B Ellis
Houli

Draft picks:
6
31
32
42
60
78

Castagna - Riewoldt - C Moore
Lloyd - Cloke - Rioli
Steele - Martin - C Ellis
Short - Vlastuin - Yarran
Tomlinson - Rance - Grimes

Fol: Hampson, Cotchin, Miles

Interchange: Lambert, Markov, Menadue, Grigg

Desperately need a better ruckman too, so could trade picks for one/draft one.

EDIT: Need a big midfielder too. Could send Conca to Fremantle for Barlow if he's fit to play another 2-3 years.

Lennon + pick 19 for Cloke???!!!!   

Is that you Francis?

Contracted player and Collingwood always plays hardball. What do you think they will take?

Lennon has shown virtually nothing. It's a hopeful hypothetical for me and I'd actually be surprised if they let him go for that. They will want pick 6 guaranteed...
