Personally I'd hold onto the pick, I'd contemplate trading for Rhys Stanley (can play ruck and forward), but I'm not a huge fan of trading for players, only draft picks.

This poll has been started in reference to Stuie's thread from yesterday.

Edit: Reference Stuie.

Some of those are maybe worth trading for, but definately not first round. Maybe for later picks, but none exite me enough fot a 1st round pick.

Wasn't Everitt available for free at the end of last year before the Dogs decided to keep him? Not sure.

I'd take Vickery for a 1st rounder for sure, but no way Richmond would let him go. He's yet to show much at senior level, but he's got an amazing amount of potential (there's that word again) being an elite junior and having great mobility for his size.

From that list i wouldn't mind a Stanley or Hampson, but a 1st round pick for those players is far too high a price.

I think we have to address the immediate weakness, which is our forward line.

Therefore I would trade for jack Anthony.

He's no better then green. Lead mark kick. Wasting his height.

Jackson Trengove looks a player. Depending on our draft pick, i might consider.

Vickery. Done and done.

Stanley. Same as Trengove. Might need to have a closer look to fully judge.

The rest are duds or youngsters who haven't played

jackson trengove is going to be a really good player.

john anthony could be what we need.

kepler bradleys recent form has been outstanding and could also slot into our top 22

having said that i wouldnt see us trading our first round draft pick

What's wrong with being a one-position player? How many positions do you want him to fill? He'd be brought into the side solely to add some size and strength to the forward line, so what else do you want from him? The obsession with versatility is already killing the development (and possibly careers) of several of our players. I'd rather have guys who are phenomenal in one position than fair to middling in all of them.

I'd trade pick 6 (we'll finish 15th) for Taylor Walker. I really like the look of this kid and he has star written all over him and I reckon he'd probably have more upside than any forward available in this years draft. I'd even throw in a SA boy like Rivers or a McNamara to get the trade over the line.

But the more goals Walker kicks, the more he becomes untouchable.

That being said, will Petterd and Jurrah make a huge difference to our fwd line crisis? We really need to add one or two forwards in the trade/draft period that will be walk up starts in round 1 2011.

There are many rumours areound at draft time; maybe Everitt was available, but he certainly wouldn't have come for free.

I would be considering the Swans' Jesse White... 196cm and 105kg, powerful hard at it forward with a good pair of hands (from what I have seen of him) and a good boot.

Today, not on the bench if he's getting thrashed there's nowhere to put him, he's a liability.

You can't have those players anymore in todays footy.

Your 2nd sentence does not address your first sentence. The reasons he does not get a game at the Pies are the reasons I would not trade for him.

What's wrong with being a one-position player? ... I'd rather have guys who are phenomenal in one position than fair to middling in all of them.

If they cant play that position then they are....

I'd rather have a player who was very good in one key strength and competent to good in others.

Are you selecting Dawes because he is phenomenal in one position? Hmmmm

Any chance the player is actually available??? And you reckon the Crows will be dribbling over 2 players that are not consistent AFL standard? Wow.

I would have thought the lesson with the young talls we have that whoever is drafted will take time to maek their presense felt.

For mine....Rhys Stanley I would certainly be open to.

I've heard plenty about Dangerfield wanting to come home, remember he is a Geelong boy and as much as I could care less about Geelong I would hope that they could end up with Dangerfield should Ablett decide to go. For the sake of every club there should be adequate compensation from GC17...anyway, that topics for another thread I guess!

Where St Kilda are currently placed (premiership clocks etc) we could possibly push for a 2nd rounder swap for him and a player perhaps....Rivers? One of the defenders? I have the opposite view of many here and actually like Riv but you have to give something to get it and IMO I really rate Stanley and I don't mind the look of this.....Rivers and 2nd Round Pick for Stanley and keeping the first round and getting another gem there would be a win I reckon! Pure speculation and food for thought.

Hawthorn need a ruckman too - take PJ hawks, please, please!!

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
