Throw the cheque book at Jonathan Brown, who is out of contract. With the retirements of Yze, Neitz, White and Holland we will have money to burn. Aim to get him in the PSD, thefore giving nothing to Brisbane.

Trade Brock McLean and our priority pick (pick 17) for pick 2 in the draft. Trade Cameron Bruce for pick 10-15. This will give us picks 1, 2, 16 and the pick gained from Bruce. Thats 4 in the top 20.

Trade Michael Newton and a 4th rounder to Adelaide for Nathan Bock.

Trade Daniel Bell back home to Port Adelaide for Steven Salpoek.

I stopped reading when you said we should trade Brock McLean.

Lets get rid of our best contested ball winner and become even more useless.

Do you understand that once we get a decent team around him, McLean's ball-winning ability will become invaluable? Can you think of even one premiership side that had no contested ball winners and couldn't win the clearances?

:rolleyes:

jaded

I have him being traded with pick 17 to acqure pick 2. This is so we can get Daniel Rich, and Natanui

Rich is a freak of nature. If you want a ball winner, then thats what he is (and a lot more)

Its a small price to pay to get the best kid in the land. He is a definite superstar, and will impact straioght away (already dominating the seniors in Perth)

I also have us getting Salopek. We will have more than enough quality ballwinners

Judd got traded for 3 and a player and pick 20. What makes you think McLean plus 17 would be worth pick 2.

Bruce would not get a pick 10-15. You are on the record saying he is soft over paid and over hyped. On what basis do you think he would attract that sort of pick.

I have him being traded with pick 17 to acqure pick 2.

Nice one.

And which stupid club will give us pick 2 if Rich is as good as you say he is?

I'm glad I didn't read past "Trade Brock McLean".

Another fine post from the sniiffling country member.

Now I realize why they see Y_M as funny because it is ridiculous to read his incredible ideas. Ridiculously FUNNY!!!

Magic , just stick to being a SAD sniffling country member.

No way in hell Brown will be leaving Brisbane, and if he did, he's too honorable to leave them with nothing.

No way known you would get Salopek for Bell in a straight swap.

And no way known we would get Bock for Newton and a draft pick.

There is no quick fix for the problems we currently have.

Forget 2009 as a rebound year.....it won't happen!

We are in a good position from the point of view that we have a solid core of younger players that can learn and get better together.

We just need a major injection of quality with a couple of star kids.

Just my opinion, but we need two years of raiding of the draft, this year and next year, and that's means two number 1 picks, and all the priority picks we can get!

Brock should definitely not be going anywhere, or any of our youngsters for that matter.

If the right deal comes along for an established player, then do it.

Time to build for the future.

Spot on mate. But I think we need 3 good goes at the draft.

to put it bluntly

i want us to win games but if we lose, there is something to look forward to

only three more wins to go for both richmond and carlton!!

Ive really gotta stop opening your threads. Unfourtunately Mr Magic footy doesnt work like Supercoach in real life.
