My understanding is that if we trade our 1st rounder, we cannot trade other picks in that draft. Is that right? Not sure

I'd rather give up pick 3 for Johnno Patton.... ?

What if it was our 2020 1st rounder for Hill, Dazzle? There are many ways to skin a cat.

Unfortunately its hard to use talent when he can't get on the field, Theo.

I thought I remember Mahoney claiming last year after the trading period that we had space for another big name this year?

I just had a terrible dream where we finished last in 2020 and had to watch Freo use pick 1.... ?

So you're saying there's still a chance? ?

Would be interesting to see what might happen if another club invited him to train over summer. Work his legs hard, see if he can stand up to it.... literally.

I agree...if that's permitted by @Demon3

Sounds like Weid 2.0!

As expected.

If Hawthorn offered him 2 years, or even 2 years with games played incentive for 3, would you match it? I don't think a 1 year deal would get him to us. With 3 knee recos, only the Hawks doc can fix him

I see it how it actually was. You see it as it might have been but wasn't. Which one is lazy?

3 x knee recos. Pass.

Pick 10 (O'Brien)and following year what ended up being pick 19 (Stocker) for Lever will be a steal for us in the years to come.

I'd say strength through the midriff, hips and legs would be a greater priority. This will help stop him getting pushed off the contest, which happens regularly

No thanks. No DHs beyond this point.

Eddie will be 33 at the start of next year and have at least 312 games under his belt. Great player, great career, but time's up.

Agree on this part.

I guess you missed the italic part in my post which said "at the moment". Gus would not get us a 1st rounder now. He's has had one good year. I do not rate the Brownlow count as a true reflection of a player's value. He was not 3rd best in the league last year. Langdon has shown consistent good form last year and this year. They play different roles, neither is a particulary good kick. Not saying I want Gus traded by any means, but i do know we need outside run more than an inside mid at the moment. There's that phrase again! Cerra and Langdon for Gus is an LSD induced dream. Where do we sign? Not going to happen.

What about: OUT: MFC 2019 R1 and R2 picks (3+23, assuming GCS get 1+2PP) IN: B Hill + Langdon+ Freo 2019 R1 (about 9) No doubt Freo would think that unders and try and work Gus into the equation

Wrong thread

I read it that he thinks MFC should make a play for Hill. His opinion, rather than that we will

I would think Brayshaw for Langdon would be a fairer trade to an objective observer. Both about high 2nd rounder in value at the moment

You left out the bit where we wouldn't go for another untried coach and would need to pay $1.5mill + to get a worthwhile, experienced coach to replace Goody.
