Who are the Dees chasing for 2017 and at what cost?

[junk 342]

We won't be entitled to a first round pick (2017) in the "kiddie" draft and we can't trade our 2018 first round pick as far as I am concerned. The senior players who seem not to be in the demons future plans have no currency.

Any ideas?

I'd love to nab Hurley, or a GWS youngster that can't get a gig....

[whatwhat say what 22,651]

well, we definitely know that we've chased hooker and hurley and they're most likely staying, plus chased hibberd.

 

prestia is mentioned every year.

[stuie 7,374]

We actually can trade another future first rounder if we want to.

 

[Dr. Gonzo 24,129]

Can we package up some later picks for a top 10 pick again to one of the Academy clubs? Could then use that as currency in a trade for Prestia. Not sure who else is available (other than Hibberd). Tomlinson could be a tall defender/swingman option but he's been playing wing and getting games for GWS recently.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,129]

Hoskin-Elliot may be worth a look?

[ILLDieADemon 804]

It sounds like we are going after Prestia and Hibberd.

[Ethan Tremblay 30,817]

Prestia is already a dunn deal according to some.

[dazzledavey36 54,201]

I wonder if we have gone cold on Prestia but more interested in Brad Crouch.

4 years in the system, still can't get either a sustained run without injuries, or when he does, is ineffective and inconsistent at best. A top 5 bust.

I'm intrigued to hear where you've pulled Crouch from, DD?

His contract talk with the Crows has stalled and is a long way off. He's mysteriously been banished to the SANFL.

But what makes you think we're in the hunt?

Well we were very keen on him for our Mini draft pick a couple of years ago. 

Runner up to Jeager O Meara in the rising star and was seriously a jet in his debut year but has just been dogged by injuries.

Personally i think his upside is far larger then Prestia. Thought id still just be as happy with Prestia!

[SaberFang 7,151]

Of all the years I'm glad we've got a fruitful trading relationship with GWS, it's this one. They have more first round draft selections than they know what to do with, and they don't even need them due to the bidding system!

Must use it to our advantage.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a Crouch fan, but I was just intrigued where you'd heard it. I'm hoping we're going for both of them - that is, Crouch and Prestia.

Stuie, we traded our 2016 first round draft pick but i doubt if we can trade our 2017 first round draft pick according to the AFL trade rules,I might be wrong.We need to pick up a diamond in the rough or two in the 2nd to 4th rounds. What are we going to trade for a Prestia or an equivalent ?

We can.

You just can't trade 2 future picks in the 1 year

I think he'd compliment our contested ball winners well.

[whatwhat say what 22,651]

he's barely able to get on the park.

 

would be interesting to see what value he has, that's for sure.

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,529]

I think we have a great core of youngsters and need to add good players through trade and free agency to help push us into the top 8 next season.

Hibberd, Hurley, Daw, Prestia, O'Meara, Mitch or Nathan Brown, Daniel Merrett.

These are all guys we should be looking at to possibly bring in.

[dazzledavey36 54,201]

We lack genuine experience down back. Nathan Brown is a premiership Center Half Back who is still only 26 years old. Collingwood prefer playing Jack Frost but Brown could be the extra hard defender McDonald desperately needs as a chop out.

Could still get another 4 years out of him while Oscar develops. 

 

[Adzman 2,154]

Zak Jones has one more year to run on his contract after this season. I wonder if the dees would couple up some picks for him to help the Swans with academy bidding and other dealings.
