Pope, it always makes for interesting reading but to quote a famous Simpsons episode - I think you are in Chocolate Land
"[Homer wakes up from a dream about The Land of Chocolate]
Homer: Not dreaming, not dreaming, not drea- Wha-? Dammit, I was dreaming! Why is life so unfair? All I want is the ability to eat everything in sight and turn into a giant ball! Is that too much to ask?! Damn you, reality!"
Lol Happy to be in Chocolate land, I think these 3 players would be attainable in the trade period, meaning clubs would be willing to listen to a trade and wont ask overs as they all have reasons to leave
McIntosh = Playing 2's, no longer number 1 ruckman, behind a very in form Goldstein.
Goldsack = Can't play regular senior football in the best team in the comp. Premiership Player.
Trengove = Wants to come home.
All attainable, I maybe asking for to much with my suggestions. What would we give up for them?
Pope
McIntosh is currently injured and has barely played in the magoos let alone the seniors in the last 18 months. Hence the rise of Goldstein.
Goldstein - you don't trade or deal with Collingwood. They'll yada yada yada and tell us he's a premiership player and even if he doesn't play till his contract expires Collingwood on the above info will argue he is worth a first rounder or minimum second rounder. On that I'll pass and let someone else pay overs on him. Premiership players are great but not when they are fringe players and will be overpriced. If we pillage their stocks as revenge for Cloke and Raines in 1982 it won't be for Goldstein.
Trengove I would like and I think the good will between the clubs in recent drafts can continue assuming we can get the right deal done for him.
Jako Edwards Morton are probably our most tradeable players and all this trade talk from the media about what we need will have already got the alarm bells ringing from other clubs which would make it as difficult as possible to get these players to us. Furthermore these gypsy poor loser clubs like Naught, Dogs and St Kilda can only dream of
FTF and would only love to see us squander it on overpriced picks to wallow in the depths we are in.
I'm almost inclined to not go for a ruck atm as I would rather get a long term prospect rather than a quick fix bloke who has barely played in the last 18 months. Furthermore the comparisons to Stafford are poles apart. Staff was still a regular at Sydney when he crossed over in 2002 Hamish is all over the shop currently.
