Who do you want?

[ashdemons22 235]

Season is over for us so thought I would make this topic.

My question is who do you want in the red and blue next year?

Who do you want that you think is realistic chance of us snapping up?

I have put a few names down.

H Bennel for Howe would it get it done? I think it may well giving Harley's latest indiscretion.

Here is one for you Shaun Atley. offer North a 1st round pick for next year in 2016. Giving there ageing list a first rounder next year when the likes of Boomer, Dal Santo, retire will be very hard to say no to on there side.

Still on North. Dan Currie would be handy pick up as ruck. About to hit 26 years old,peaking age for rucks they say. Would not cost much and he can play second fiddle to Gawn.

Last one Jed Anderson from the Hawks for me running tough mud starved of opportunities.

Adding Bennel Atley and Anderson addresses our speed factor in the midfield.

Thoughts? Opinions?

[RalphiusMaximus 6,054]

Why give away next year's first round pick instead of this year's? This year is a weak draft, we should be hoarding picks for next year instead.

Also, while I like Atley, I wouldn't want to give a first round pick for him. It's not like he's an automatic selection for them.

Where do we sign?

[Dee1987 277]

Anderson and Bennell yup!!

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Billy Hartung.

[Pates 9,660]

Bennell vs Howe for value is a very interesting debate. Who has more value? Howe isn't all that damaging, but he is marketable and pretty reliable. He can play forward or back, I think for GC he would actually suit being a floating HFF. Bennell on the other hand has a lot more upside, he can be very damaging and silky but clearly his off-field issues are a concern. Interestingly I've actually heard he was a pretty good kid as a teenager but it appears the culture at GC has been bad for him.

I'm glad to hear that we're enquiring about him, he's exactly what we need on field, and I think we're actually getting a culture in place to deal with those that have off field problems.

I would also like to see us get Redden, although sounds like he's looking elsewhere.

[Surfer Dee 210]

Harley Bennell. Exactly what we need.

If we were able to chase someone else with a bit of pace like Billy Hartung that would be rad too.

If you can keep him out of nightclubs.....

Super glue him to Nev Jetta, great role model.

Could we get these two without giving up our first pick?

If we got those two we would have to be happy.

Do we know who else is available? Besides Treloar and Danger....

[RalphiusMaximus 6,054]

I want our first round pick. I'd give it up for Treloar or Dangermouse, but nobody else on offer right now is really floating my boat.

[DemonDing 56]

Would love to get Bennell, even with his off field issues I still think his worth ago, I mean jeffy Garlett was a bit off the rails too there for a while but he had a super year this year I reckon!!

I want a partner for hogan, a bigger heavier power marking pack busting type who will take a run in the ruck. someone with a mean streak, who oppos' players don't want to be in front of in a pack.

I see this as urgent, so we need either a gun,,, or a temp fwrd pocket/follower. so a Kreuzer/Patton, Or who-ever's out there who have this nasty streak; plus a Weideman who we can take our time developing, into this type.... but we need to get a pick in for Weideman?

with our 1st pick, I'd like Curnow off the top,,,, or a parish/matthieson type mid.

When are the riddle threads starting like last year, they were fun

Worth a read imo. It may well be the time to look at a Francis or Curnow who are really utilities.

Sam Petrevski-Seton (Claremont): A composed but exciting midfielder who was listed at 178cm for this year's under-18 championships. The 17-year-old has played three senior WAFL matches this season.

"He's electrifyingly quick and really skillful. He can burst out of stoppages and is really, really clever." – Sanderson.

He was the best thing I saw in the matches I watched, so next year to me looks a better draft already.

Sam Powell-Pepper (East Perth): Standing at 188cm, he fits the modern mould of prototype taller midfielders and thrives around the clearances in contested situations like Patrick Cripps and Nat Fyfe.

"He's more of your modern-day mid, that big-bodied midfielder - like Cripps, Fyfe, (Mundy) and (Michael) Barlow - and with fantastic character." – Sanderson.

Was surprised this kid was a bottom ager, very strong and will be a real force next year.

I could come very close to naming 12-15 players I'd be very happy to have from next years pool.

The quality looks to be much better, and I reckon if people are ticked off at GWS getting Hopper and Kennedy for points, there's going to be a reasonable level of outrage when they get Harry Macreadie through the academy next year.

I'm ok with us trading our first rounder this year, would be very apprehensive about trading next years.

Too many hyphens - have enough with Kennedy-Harris

[Little Goffy 14,573]

Ragnar Lodbrock.

Moves fast, aggressive at the contest, good skills, natural leader.

And arrives in a shallow draft! (heh heh, just a little shipwright humour there)

Gee, my trade season fatigue is setting in early.

[Earl Hood 6,086]

What do I want? A Sam Mitchell centre clearance mid type, an Isaac Smith outside runner clone on one wing and a Lewis Jetta type on the other wing. A creative half back with a laser like boot. And throw in another smart 192 cm plus forward and I reckon we are up for finals next year. So can Taylor make it happen?

well your 192cm smart forward is in this draft scope, if we choose, & a little luck ? & also hope we trade in some more mids with 'X'perience.

[blue and red in the head 95]

Bennell for howe

Our 2nd rd pick for Jed Anderson

curnow with our first pick or watts and our first pick for treloar

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Speed, spread and pin-point disposal linking up our inside mids with our forward 50.

[MadAsHell 4,212]

Haven't given up hope on Dangerfield as our big fish midfielder, but failing him, any of:

Jaegar O'Meara

Josh Kelly or

Harley Bennell in that order to provide outside run to our midfield group.

Failing a big fish any of:

Aaron Hall

Jed Anderson

Ben Kennedy

Paul Seedsman or

Nathan Wright as a role player to provide some outside run to our midfield.

One of:

David MacKay

Jackson Ramsay

James Kelly or

Jed Adcock off half back.

Jack Redden or

Andrew Moore as a utility

Josh Walker to replace Dawes as 2nd key forward who can go into the ruck.

Daniel Currie or

Daniel Gorringe as ruck depth and compete with Spencer for the back up ruckman gig.

I want Dixon over any Gold Coast mid - all day, every day.
