Trade/FA rumours

[Owl]

I think we should make a highlights reel for TV now that he is being traded, no point raggin on the man he did play for us.  Just have the footage of him knocking out Cox on a loop should do it.

[Yeahright]

Not bad but do you really think Deledio would net us 15 and 16? Maybe if we went a year early or he didn't get injured again this year but now I think a lot of clubs will be wary...
That would be similar to the Treloar trade and I don't think you pay as much for Deledio as you do Treloar.

I posted this in the Prestia thread, more on topic here though:-

If we could get GWS picks 14 and 15 for Lids and ontrade one of those for prestia i reckon it would be a good outcome. Gws will have a heap of picks but this year will pay overs for premium talent for a tilt at a premiership.

Praying for a early second round compensation for Vickery.

Early second round for ellis (i thought he was worth pick 30 but apparently others rate him higher) and same for edwards.

FO conca for a pick around 30. West Coast have pick 31 atm.

Ins would leave us something like

Pick 6, 14, Prestia, 20, 21,22,31 and 42.

Gets rid of lids (old and injury prone) edwards (hot and cold, and starting to get on) and squibs Ellis and Conca.

Into the starting 22 side comes Prestia, McIntosh, Menadue, C Ellis. Debut the picks when ready.

Still hoping for a bit more of a clean out but not sure we will go harder than retirements plus Batch.

Basically my best case scenario outcome id wake up with half a chub if it went down this way .

Geez dude Dans still on his L plates.  It'll take him the 2 weeks to get the Prestia deal done.

[Yeahright]

Will we wait most of the trade period then poo our pants and do it last minute and have no time for anyone else? Geez that sounds familiar

Cant see the tigers shopping Lids of even thu we are not getting what we wont from him but then again there are about 10-12 of those players at our club right know. we need to deal smart with priesta and some how keep the first round pick. ty will give us a second rounder something we don't have and so should conca....
ellis is signed for another year not sure on the money he is on..
really we need to off load the likes of Morris, hunt, Elton, mcbean, grigg, maric, there is 6 chaplin gone there is 7 we could really off load 10 this draft

[Jonesracing82]

Would we/you be willing to give up our pick 6 for Tomlinson and Steele?
Two for one?

nope!
Prestia aside i reckon we should be hitting the Draft hard
we won't catch GWS by taking thier 2nd tier Players!

i am all for it if we are taking those picks into the Draft, we could do some damage there...

given Lids body is starting to let him down if we want to trade him for any value it has to be this year.

given Prestia wants to come across, if GC want to play hardball we get the other deals done then we have more options for getting Prestia deal done.

Apparently Richmond will catch gws -

By giving gws one of RFC best 5 players ...

[Loui Tufga]

I don't think this is the draft to be taking heaps of players from.
It's very similar to the 2010 Gold Coast draft where there was a fairly even spread of players from 1-18 but was massively hit or miss beyond that.
My feeling this will be a pick by needs draft rather than on talent, there are 3-4?players who could easily go number 1 then a few more safe picks out to 12 or so but it's a massive lucky dip after that point.
If we're serious about re building I'd be trying to hang onto pick 6, trade a player or players fronprestia and trade for picks to stockpile for next years draft.

Nobody will catch them for next decade or so regardless... it's all about who's going to lose to them in the Grand Final.....aka "The Organic Premiership"...

Not a bad swap. We need KPPs.
