Potential Trades [Warning: Reading this thread may self-destruct]

Who was he intimidated by.... Roos.

What?

Wasn't that Petracca?

[Guest]

He's a mobile defender, looking to pursue a role in the midfield, "as that's the way the games going". His words, not mine.

Deleted the comment as I can't be bothered getting into a debate about it (you obviously quoted me before I did though). Just because he "wants to become a midfielder" doesn't mean he is one.

If you look at draft profiles of him, you'll see that his player comparisons are the likes of Dustin Fletcher and Tom Harley. Doesn't scream midfield to me, but hey, who knows I guess. But if we keep 2 + 3, and assume Petracca goes at 1, we should take the two best available players - McCartin and Brayshaw. If we want Lever, trade down to get him.

Yeah I don't want to argue either mate and I'm not disagreeing with you.

I'm pretty sure it was Roos who said the other day also that he sees Lever going straight into a midfield?

And what if Lever is one of the two best players?

At this stage, popular opinion says otherwise. But I guess it's all speculative until they actually pull on a jumper and play AFL football.

... As we've found out in the past.

Lever.

Ok fair enough is that's the case mate, I was unaware of that.

especially given roles in mind

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

Lever.

I'm fairly sure Petracca was intimidated by Roos and said he asked the hardest question which took him 2 minutes to answer.

Toby greene is gettable. I am 100% of this.

Is he a grammar boy? If not, we couldn't possibly go for him. He wouldn't fit in with 'Tackles' Watts.

Cheers and chin-chin!

As we've found out in the past .....

.... popular opinion doesn't usually reflect recruiter opinion. There are countless examples, especially this far out from the draft. This especially so when the player has been out of sight out of mind all year.

Was a Wesley College boy, not sure if that makes it better or worse!

Frost is also a Wesley boy.

Why would we want him.He gets the ball,doesnt hold back, kix goals etc but he got drunk once in off season.

your right Biff, or is that left... lets get him, but just play him around the outer side of the ground for home games.

that should do it.

The interview I heard was a young man who said he was coming off a knee injury and spent the year working with the midfield group as even though he was 194cms tall that is the way the game is going...

[Deecisive 1,709]

maybe propose swapping pick 2 and 23 to gws for Toby green and pick 7, obviously pick two would be on the understanding that they dont touch brayshaw. they might go for it cause they love having the top picks each year. use 7 for lever.

It would be simpler on your scenario to do 3 and 23 for Greene and 4, guaranteeing both Brayshaw and Lever, as GWS would want Petracca and then a Boyd replacement, McCartin or Wright.

Hey so I was just having a thought, young Toby is defs going to jail how about we help you with that.

Surely it's not true that GWS have offered Ess 4,6 & 20 for Ryder?

Thank Christ the majority of you lot weren't around in the trenches in WW1 and fighting off the northern invasion in WW2. I have never seen such a group of weak lily livered defeatists.

Oh why me

Every cloud has a silver lining look at Brisbane last season when a large group of their players wanted out
