That pick 19 sounds way better than pick 22 if we were to trade it out

Reckon we could snag Bugg for a 3rd rounder? Or would we have to part with our 2nd

Would honestly really want to keep pick 6. Get someone really solid with the high 2nd Rounder we get from Suns for Howe (22). Melksham is not that guy. Redden? Lennon? Maybe add a pick 61 to Howe bundle and try to snag their pick 19, so we can get one of those 2

It really pisses me off that the Saints, 1 spot below us, are successfully poaching quality players and it looks like they won't have to give up pick 5 to do it. Hoping we can go something like that. But I just don't see it. Guess it's just just Milkshakes and Buggs for us..

Don't know about that one. Doesn't really have much skill. Can just mark

really? I thought a 3rd rounder may get it done.

Would be a nice foil for Jesse. We could offer more but i dont think he wants to leave the hawks

I think it will be a 3 way trade Andrew Moore to Pies, Toumpas to Port, Kennedy to Dees

Harmes?

Nah Tmac best position is a back. Roosy had to roll the dice in that Essendon game. He is the backman of the future. Up there with Talia and McGovern in terms of young KPD

this ^

are there any 2nd string forwards we may/should look at?

But tbh, i'd rather pair pick 22 (from GC for Howe) with a player to get someone like Sam Reid.

I am also very confident we'll improve. Pushing for finals in 2017 i reckon. Maybe even next year. Who knows. I know I have probably mentioned it so many times. At the time being our midfield is a little raw with Vince and Jones carrying the lot having to go against the Fyfe's, the Dangerfields, Hannerbery's and Mitchells. If you look at our list our midfield has massive potential to be a superstar midfield in 3-5 years with Viney, Petracca, Vandenburg, ANB and Brayshaw on the inside, with Tyson, Salem, Stretch on the Outside. Not to mention Gawny serving the pill on a platter to them. Combine that group with the likes off Tmac, Omac, Frost, White and Jetta down back along with Hogan, Garlett, Kent (Insert 2nd forward here), and we have got the potential to be a super team in a couple years

would be super disappointed if we finished the trade period with our best recruits being Bugg, Kennedy and Melksham. Go big. Try get a steal with a 2nd round a pick. Someone with blistering pace as an outside mid, or A 2nd forward who comes up the ground. Someone with elite skills and speed coming off half back (even though Salem plays that role)

I think when prestia said that he would like to fulfill his contract, indicated that he may be open to joining the dees at the end of 2016. Reckon we'll have a huge eye on him next season. Go tall in the draft, or Recruit a great 2nd string forward for jess, as a pitch to convince him to stay. That is, if we cannot snag an A grader. We just are not a destination club at the minute. But just wait in a year or 2..

So Mcstay will be a demon in 2016?

Hes not the quickest. Can't really get a game for the Crows. A no for me. Setting my standards high this year

Yuck. Will flop once again when he gets back to AFL

Brisbane list manager just said they haven't spoken to us about Dawes, not interested

Dunn and Omac are defenders. Not really sure where Frost plays best but I see him as a ready made replacement for when Dunn retires. Pederson tries but is unreliable at times and is normally in the wrong spots. I'm talking about 2nd forwards along the lines of Jenkins and Darling. Not those specific players, but those types. Would Sam Reid be available? Would have a much bigger role at the Dees than at the Swans. Was on fire until Buddy and Tippett came. Guys like Ben Griffiths or Jack Redpath?

If we are unable to land an A grade mid, we go tall in the draft. Picking Curnow or Weidman Or recruit a good 2nd forward to support Jesse. Besides Freo,`every single one of the top 8 sides have a 2nd forward to support their main man Gunston for Roughy, Darling for JJK, Jenkins for Tex, Vickery for Reiwoldt. Our mids are developing well. So if we can't land a top mid, a 2nd forward would be a great recruiting focus
