Rumour in WA is With Our Pick #3 W Coast and Freo are BOTH DESPERATE FOR IT to swap with Geelong and are prepared to use  either of these players get Kelly if this is correct which player  would be best for us .

Neither is a pick 3 candidate.  It would need to be player plus their first rounder plus steak knives to even get close.

Hopefully we are seeing teams that are desperate for currency, and we can leverage that to our advantage.  An old bidding war for pick 3...

Gaff and Petrucelle for pick 3 I would do in a heartbeat

Not true, I haven’t heard this rumour and my ear is literally on the ground. #ETthetradebreaker.

Deal with freo picks 6 & 7 for picks 3 & 20. I would look at that.

For verisimilitude please rotate your avatar 180 degrees. 

We should look at all options, Eagles are the ones that are desperate  for early pick to secure Tim Kelly. We hold the whip hand on all  of this, pressure is on the FD to make hay while the sun shines.

its worth more than Gaff & 35.

Have heard the Gaff rumour, nothing concrete but has been mentioned as a way to trump Freo, by somehow getting the pick.

Gaff and 35 for pick 3, sweet jesus no

For a website riddled with misinformation; Demonland can, at times, be quite educational.

What are your thoughts on the likelihood, and merits, of packaging Petrucelle into the deal?

Petrucelle would be a great get, liked his final against the Cats. With the Rioli situation and Bolton extending at Richmond you would think Eagles would be very keen to keep him now.

I’ve made some inquiries and been informed that Gaff’s teammates nicknamed him ‘Basil’  due to his love of Margherita Pizza. 

Could be something in this.

I know there has been discussions about West Coast needing to Trade Out to meet Geelong's Trade Price. And I know Gaff has been thrown up as a possibility if required. (Note: These are what general people have mentioned, not what has been discussed in clubland.)

But, the only way I ever see it happening is if West Coast get dead frightened that Freo could convince him to go there. I like the idea of Gaff, but if we have a good year next year, we may be able to get him as a Free Agent because of his clause.

Also, I can't see Freo trading out their future player (Brayshaw) for a player that is 25+ (Kelly). They would want both of them in their midfield, especially after losing Hill and Langdon. I would expect they would offer Pick 6 and 7, not go after Pick 3 with more players.

Andrew Brayshaw was pick 2 and now has 50 odd games under his belt.

Out of interest why do people say he wouldn't be worth pick 3?

Thanks

It’s the same people who think Frost is worth an early second rounder. They rate our players too high and opposition players too low.

1st post by the OPster. How do we squeeze Gaff into our TPP?

So far it's looked like one of the poorer top 5 drafts I can remember. Like his brother, kicking is a major issue.

The Weagles are going to have to do something because Geelong would love to get their hands on the two top 10 picks the Dockers are going to have.

Extra speed/fitness compared to Gus means he can run well on the wing or half forward but his kicking is just as bad. At this stage he’s looking like a similar player to Langdon.
