If I was Coach.....

[Dee tention 617]

Based on my view and rumours abroad. Trades in bold compliment each other.

Aaron DAVEY and Brad GREEN to Port for PICK 4.

or

Aaron DAVEY and PICK 19 to Port for PICK 4.

Paul WHEATLEY to Sydney for PICK 30.

PICK 30 and Daniel BELL for Adam THOMSON and Greg BENTLEY.

Jared RIVERS to Hawthorn for Mitch THORP.

or

Brad GREEN to Hawthorn for MItch THORP.

That is 4 or 5 players traded out by us and is the maximum allowed (5).

So how did we end up?

DRAFT PICKS 1, 4, 17, 19 (possibly keep), 35, 51, 68 FIRST 2 Selections - Watts and Vickery

Players IN - Adam Thomson, Greg Bentley and Mitch Thorp.

Players OUT - Aaron Davey, Brad Green, Paul Wheatley, Jared Rivers

If it panned out that way I would be stoked! Is realistic I think!

players in vs players out , we lose big time........wots the point?

[Red and Blue Flame 191]

Thats probably the only way we could get Watts and Vickery as i think they will both be gone at pick 5

Naitanui and Rich at picks 2 and 3 are what i predict will both end up in WA

They only other option is giving picks 17 and 19 to Port for pick 4 but i really doubt that will happen in a draft that has so much talent depth

I personally would pick Vickery before Naitanui as the best big man in the draft (other than Watts)

IMO Picks 17 and 19 in this draft will still give us a very good player

[Dee tention 617]

We gain PICK 4. Get 3 younger players with great potential who will get game time with us. And save on the salary cap aswell.

I believe we improve our list and picks in the draft! Win Win! We are rebuilding!

I like it!

I don't! I really don't!

I'd be stoked with either of those, people on here overrate Davey massively. And before you all start dribbling about marketability let me tell you I couldn't give a flying rat's rectum. Bindi freakin Irwin is marketable but I don't want her in the forward pocket, I just want a premiership before I die.

I don't know how you can say he is overrated - he is one of the only blokes in red and blue over the last DECADE that actually has the ability to turn a match

Obviously he's gone off the boil a bit though

However, I agree with your point about marketability - I'll tell you what is marketable, winning games of footy - same goes for all you Naitanui spruikers

Partially answered your own question Schtacker. How many games has he "turned" in the last 2 years. Great value for a rookie but not even top 50 in the Afl. Decent small forward, less than average midfielder.

You really have no clue at all do you.

Port wont give up pick 4 for a couple of 26 to 28 yo NQRs.

Gary Ablett snr, could turn a match, Aaron is not one of Gary's screw in stops.

[Guest Schtacker]

oh yeah let's compare him to one of the all time greatest players cos that's what I said

I have seen him turn and win us matches so that makes him a match-turner

still, we know for a fact the ability is there... it has gone dormant for a bit. We know he has been plagued by injury the last 2 years... maybe he is one of those players that needs to be part of a properly functioning side to be at his best - I believe we will shortly become this side and then we will see the old Davey again. I also believe that this is true of a number of our players who appear to have stalled or gone backwards - watch how different they look in a good side

pretty hard to turn matches in a side that is being belted by 10 goals every week

[H_T 3,049]

Jury is out on this one. I don't believe we will shortly become this side - a proper functioning side - for another couple of years. AN improved side perhaps - but not one that will catapult us into the eight, short term.

I suppose it all depends what you refer to as a "properly functioning side" though. You may have to elaborate.

Still, I look forward to the young "quality" talent that are about to commence with the Dees, whoever they be.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Rivers for Thorp, and you want pick as well?

Thorp is an exciting KP prospect. Rivers can't get on the park. They lose big time.

Also, I think there's a limit to the amount of picks u get in one season...

[The Emblem 1]

Bindi freakin Irwin is marketable but I don't want her in the forward pocket,

Love It

You really dont like Aaron Davey do you.

can someone tell me why CJ is on the table?

was he not one of the shining lights for the year??

would it not be a waste to put five years into him - use a father son pick on him - and send him to a club for not much for him to become a real solid player over the next 3-4 years!!!

am i the only one that would be extremely unhappy if he were to be traded.....

Nah mate, im with you. Why would we give away a player whos starting to look the goods. Remember people, when he was drafted there were big wraps on him. He was tipped to go top 10.

Doesn't father/son pick mean we got him CHEAPER than we would have otherwise??

A good player yes, but at this stage our club should have few, if any, untouchables. AND from all reports OTHER clubs are asking about him, not 'he wants to go' or 'the club are trying to get rid of him'.

[Bails 0]

i think we dont have many guys who can use the footy.....

particularly if we lose green and now we dont have YZE!!!

you need guys who can hit a target and accumulate the footy....

he is starting to do that and if he were to go somewhere and turn into a super player, which i really think he will be, id be extremely pi$$ed off

CJ's market value is a pick between 40-50. Unless the trade involves a player that addresses our needs, I'd keep him.

Don't see the point in stockpiling draft picks unless they are top 20.

No way wiill they trade Davey or Rivers and no way should they, Davey's our most exciting player and Rivers our best defender and one of the best in the comp when up and going. Green and Wheatley though there's possible value there.

Agree with most of that.

Unless it was to offload a Carroll or the draft picks were a smaller part of a bigger deal.

Yze has not used the footy well and hit targets for 3 years. CJ does not win enough of the ball and hurt oppositions.

I cant see what you are frothing about.

he is starting to do that and if he were to go somewhere and turn into a super player, which i really think he will be, id be extremely pi$$ed off

Little chance of that.
