I'm going to trade my membership for a VIP membership for the blue oyster bar.

I'm sure I will get pretty much what what i get from my Richmond Membership, just a bit more commitment and hardness.

Anyone who wants to retain Cotchin is doing so primarily for the fear of the unknown and making tough decisions with unknown consequences

Wake up and get out of you comfort zones - it doesnt get much worse than where we are at. And losing him wont make much difference.
Well I definitely don't want to trade him for picks that FJ and co will stuff up again!!!!!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Suns have 6 of the top 28 picks and GWS have 5 of 34 in this years draft (based on current ladder positions).
The Suns in particular would be a great option because they need leadership and class through the mid field and have picks to trade.
Based on current ladder positions, they currently have 4,9,22,23,27 & 28 in the draft.
We might jag pick 4 and Prestia or 9,22 and Prestia.
That would leave us with 4 & 7 (based on us finishing where we are) and Prestia.
Y&BB, we could most definitely do a decent trade - if Cotchin agreed and then it's up to our vaunted reinvigorated recruiting division!

Is this from trading their kids for future picks?

If they were prepared to give up pick 4 + Prestia for Cotchin that would be a massive win for us.

Would also be trying to get Day and Nicholls. Happily trade Cotchin for all three, or throw in Deledio to get more picks/players our way.

They traded future picks from us, port, Melbourne & freo in 2015.  Given where those teams are finishing on the ladder this year, it's turning out nicely for them and puts them in the drivers seat to pick up a couple of quality, experienced midfielders which is why I think they might really go hard for someone like a Cotchin.
They would also have salary cap space coming with Ablett in the final year of his contract.
“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.

Day is a slightly improved Vickery. I'd go after 2 metre Peter.

Well that would hardly be giving him away.

I would want him as a KPD. See him as a better option than Chaplin, Astbury etc.

Peter would be a great pickup but I don't see how they'd let him go...
