Bon appetit

He’s out of contract. Do you think he’d be a good fit?

In: Gawn and Viney 

Out: Harmes and Jones

Or simply our  2019 1st Rnd pick, for a late 2018 1st Rnd pick, and maybe  some small change... keeping our P28.   Some clubs with many early picks, might like to spread them out, entering the 2019 draft, with extra's ?

How about GWS’ pick 11 and 52, for pick 23 and next years 1st rounder?

What goes around comes around? It seems that Jack Lonie and Jack Steele are still uncontracted.

Sydney have 30 (629), 35(522), 66(80). 

AVB is probably worth pick 30 IMO, so he's worth 629. If we also give 36 (563), 46 (331) then they get 900 points plus a player they want. Potentially we give better picks with what we get throughout the trade period.  

Seems fair to me, i might be wearing red and blue coloured glasses however. 

 

If we somehow get Sydney to cough up pick 13, which i think is a chance if we make the deal sweet enough, we can do a lot:

We could then offer GC pick 13 and our 2019 first rounder (with AFL permission) for May, which seems like a fair trade for GC.

We then are not at the whim of Freo, and could hold out on trading Hogan, which would force their hand in trading us pick 5&6. Then we trade for KK using Kent, Tyson compo.

In: May, KK, pick 5&6

Out: Hogan, Vanders, Kent, Tyson, 2019 first rounder, 2018 picks (round 2,3,4)

This is a pipe dream, but a nice one.

What will we trade for Braydon Preuss?

In: Hunt, Weid, Balic and Stretch 

Out: Lewis, Vince, Bugg and Wagner 

If he ends up at Geelong hopefully it will be in exchange for pick 20, which we could use for Forgarty or O'Brien.

Tom Rockliff?

I think the core are: Hogan, Jones, Petracca, Viney, Brayshaw, Gawn, Oliver, Hibberd, Melksham, TMac, Hunt, Garlett, Jetta.

Delists: Lumumba, Trengove, Garland (contract pay out, staff job), Hulett, Spencer (UFA), Kennedy, White (R)

Rookie elevation candidates: Keilty, J.Smith, Maynard (but only if we have to). Looks like we're going to retain T.Smith, Filipovic.

There's other players I'd persist with who are still developing (e.g. Hannan, JKH, Weideman, OMac, ANB, King, Johnstone, Harmes, Wagner), have limitations but are depth (e.g. Pedersen, Bugg), have been injured (e.g. VDB, McKenna) or are experienced and have some limited footy left (e.g. Lewis, Vince)

Needs: We need quality, not more role players - Inside/Outside mid (like Gaff, Zaharakis, I.Smith), Lever.  I don't think another ruckman is vital - we can provide cover with King, TMac, Pedersen - maybe rookie a journeyman.

Tradeable: we'll need to give something with potential value - pick 10, 2018 1st, Tyson, Stretch, Kent, Frost

I'd like to retain Salem and Watts - despite their limitations they are just about the only players on our list (apart from Hibberd and possibly Weideman) who can kick the ball consistently well, but if it took trading them to close the deal on a real need then I'd do it.

 

Love your analysis fifty-5

Out: Viney, Tyson, Bugg, Stretch, White

In: Trengrove, Garlett, Hogan, Kennedy, J Smith

Still hoping that Weiderman gets a game

Maybe we could offer Adelaide Salem and our 2nd round pick.

What's the chance of Spencer coming in?

Out: JKH, Jetta, Hogan, Smith, Spencer

In: Weideman, Pederson, O Mac, Bugg, Lewis

Out: Stretch, Hannan, Melksham 

In: Brayshaw, Hogan & Hibberd

If St Kilda play four talls in the forward line I think O Mac will get a run over Melksham.

Supposedly he's on less money and just really wanted to leave the Dees. Good riddance!
