What we want: Viney 2nd round
What GC want :Tippet and pick #2
What Adelaide want: Good draft pick for Tippet
What Geelong want: Caddy and Gysberts
Anyway to drum up some type of 4 way here?
Players like Hogan are a dime a dozen. I still would go for him.
We have seen time and time again that mids can be developed from within. Beams is a perfect example of this, as is Barlow.
Power forwards on the other hand can't be in my opinion. They either have it or they don't.
Sadly our last few attempts to find one have failed as our recruiter was unable to determine the difference between having it or not.
A combo of Viney, Wellingham and Kennedy injected into the midfield with Hogan/Stringer up forward would make a major difference.
A small forward or 2 picked up late in draft/rookie/FA and our gaps will be much more filled.
Midfield of Sylvia, Jones, Wellingham, Trengove, Kennedy, Viney, Howe and Grimes is quite attractive.
Why do people want Jimmy Bartel
Isnt he turning 30 next year? Someone suggested a 4 year contract for him. You have to be kidding, his already slowing up...
Pick #4 (Higher pick then he was taken for as an 18 yr old) + Pies first pick + Gysberts
All in all 3 first round picks for a 30 year old. You have to be kidding
Apparently we are going hard for Wellingham. Maybe Gysberts and Martin as a pair will go for him.
2 NQRs for player who will be in our best 3 mids. Good trade imo
Pick 3 - Stringer
Pick 4 - Wellingham (trade) + pick 17
Pick 13 - Caddy Trade
Pick 17 - Vlastuin
2nd rounder - Viney
FA - Monfries, Byrnes
End up with Wellingham, Caddy, Vlastuin and Viney in midfield.
Stringer to help Clarke up forward with Monfries and Byrnes at their feet.
Good combination of draftees and experienced players. I think Neeld would like the look of something like this.
I also think one of our half backs should be traded off, maybe Joel Mac, Davis or even a Tapscott as I can already see Tynan developing into a decent half back
Wellingham, Toumpas, Viney, Hogan
Pick 13 and Martin. Make it happen. We need a player exactly like him. He works alot harder then alot of people give him credit for and would be another Mitch Clarke under Neeld at the dees.
