Extra picks in the draft: Where can we get them from?

[wayne]

Is it worth putting him up for trade this season then? Why wouldn't we just offload Foley to the GC at the end of next year, im sure they will be more generous with what they give, especially with his high placings in the B&F!

Good thinking.

I reckon a lot of teams B&F's next season will be rigged...

2010 Jack Dyer Medallist - Jordan McMahon
2nd - Jay Schulz
3rd - Matty White

If we are going to trade Foley then that is the way to do it.
Top 10 pick for sure.

But wouldn't it be a bugger if the injury that plagued (and ruined) his complete 2008 season doesn't hamper him next year and that, coupled with the benefits of a coach that gets the team playing for each other and a fully fit Cotchin by his side, he gets back to All Australian contention form.  What do we do then?  Cut off our nose to spite our face maybe?

Yep you would want to make sure that the player we draft with Axel's trade would be a very very good player.

Sandilands wants out of Freo.

He'd solve our ruck problems, but we'd have to say goodbye to pick 3/4 and a gun youngster.

Eagles' first draft pick for sale

JOHN Worsfold has left open the possibility of West Coast trading its first pick at this year's NAB AFL Draft.

Worsfold said the club would pursue a small forward either during trade week or at November's draft would part with its round one selection if the right player was available.

Morton for pick 6? 

Pettifer? Nahas? 

[Infamy]

Nathan Brown
Make it happen

How about all four for pick 6.

 

[Infamy]

No way, Nahas is too skinny for West Coast
We need to keep him

[Ramps]

From our lot they would only take Rance.

Play him forward these last two rounds, make sure that he kicks a couple of bags and we might have a pick 6 

[DallasCrane]

I don't think we should get hopeful of getting another 1st rounder this year, it seems clubs are very conservative this year, that comment by Worsfold was out of the box a little. I think we are better off seeing what we can raid out of the GC bag o' goodies, I think we could get two of their first round picks; Foley for one of their first 2 picks and say a McGuane packaged in with one of our 22-30 players (Raines) for a late 1st rounder. Or am I dreaming with the McGuane one.

This is almost sacriligious talking about the captain like this but:
Chris Newman, what if we could get a 1st round pick off the GC for him. Would you take it?

At the end of 2010 Chris Newman will have played 170 odd games without playing in a final for the club.

[WilliamPowell]

I have siad this before Foley is our best hope of getting a 1st round draft pick from one of the first ten sides

[Hellenic Tiger]

Newman can get a first rounder as well. I would maybe be putting both up.
Seduce the clubs with the captain. Many will be infatuated and we may get a first rounder for Newy as well. I reckon Newy will fit in at North Melb perfectly. Would be another Troy Makepeace for the Sh1tboners.

Just looked behind the couch, not picks there. By the way, getting rid of your best players is counter productive. Unless we don't think we have bottomed out yet.
