You blokes have nfi.
Trade jack
Trade lynch
Trade dusty
Love pies
Keep luke Meehan
Bloody hell wake up.
How would you approach our next flag then?
Willy and Georgie a bit more sensible.
well the first thing i wouldnt have done is trade for Hopper. That pick would have been a very nice carrot for the suns for pick 4. Now we have no chance.
Looking at the GWS no wonder they were very happy to deal. It was the Green machine i believe they wanted to retain all along
Lynch i wouldnt trade if it makes Pies better. stuff them. I know you love the pies Andy, but if Lynch regains top form and there is no guarantee of that at his age and his injuries, who do you want mentoring the Bauer and Samson? We would get slaughtered like North did when they offloaded all those players at once. 8 years later and they are a still a rabble.
Players who i think are replaceable are Grimes but he ant worth much. The other is Floss and Meatball. Its all hypothetical as they aint going anywhere, but they would give us a late first rounder i believe. Floss i was against trading, but i feel we may have backup.
Dusty trade is a firm no in my eyes. Its only my view but i would love to see him stay on for another 3 years, though i suspect we only get one more out of him.
All of these trades would get us some nice picks, assuming we know how to use them. What they wont do is give us elite talent like your dusty, cotch, Bont, daicos etc we may find a diamond in the rough, but what are the chances?
How many flags are won without elite match winners? Hit the draft and grab 2 top 10's next year somehow. There is no point finishing 10th or some crap like that.
I cant see a passage where this team is contending for a flag for over 5 years. Its going be 2-3 years before Brown, Banks, Samson, Bauer and co to reach 50 games barring no injuries.
Its a long road.
