Delisting, Trade and FA discussion 2018

[blue and red in the head 95]

Would we look at trading next year's first pick for gws pick 19? It gets us an extra early pick this year with lots of spots to fill on the list and hopefully our first pick next year is 15 onwards so wouldn't be a massive loss there. Gws have a few early picks in the draft already. Thoughts?

1. Do we have anyone in mind at that pick?

2. Do we have permission to trade next year’s first round pick?

Does anyone know anything about this kid we've been linked to:

Hayden McLean

Height: 196cm
Weight: 93kg
DOB: 20/1/1999
Club: Sandringham

Along with Jok, McLean is the other player training with St Kilda in the lead up to the Draft. At 196cm, McLean plays predominantly as a tall forward but he can go into the ruck and pinch-hit when needed. Still only 19, McLean uses his body effectively in marking contests and he has a strong set of hands. Melbourne is another club that is reportedly interested in him after they delisted Mitch King and Lachlan Filipovic.

We would be trading into this year's first round so no permission needed from the AFL.

We just have a lot of spots to fill so I'm sure they would have someone in mind around 19 hill? Ely smith?

No-one would have bought it. Everyone would have seen straight through it, laughed, and continued on.

Just as everyone did when Freo stated that categorically they were no longer chasing Hogan. No-one bought it and Freo just looked like D*cks.

And yet Freo got exactly what they wanted whilst paying way unders and we got royally screwed for Hogan. I'd rather have Freo's team dealing with trades than ours.

I like it. With this years pick 19, MFC have a better chance at Bailey Williams or Liam Stocker.
