Sounds like Pavlich

Always a good laugh

I am not trying to say Tyson has been bad, what I am saying is we need a superstar who can influence games. Past few years we have kept targetting hardworking mids in Toumpas Viney Salem Tyson, Matt Jones, Magner, Couch, Cross, Vince ect Its about time we go for a player who goes in hard both inside and out and has the x factor to influence a game rather then just keep us in the game and our head above water. We had 2 chances to get this kid but instead we took a forward who hasnt played a game of AFL in 2 years and another hardworking midfielder to keep our head above water. Also if Viney and co rated Salem above Kelly then I have my concerns with the recruiting department..

Kelly carved us up yesterday, his touches were all influential and the impact he had on the game as a first yr player was huge. None of this "younger players tiring from a long year" excuse we seem to be hearing at the MFC.

Tyson is good and tries hard but he will never have the x factor and ability to turn the tide of a game the way Kelly will. Salem struggles to get a touch. Has he had any games where he has reached double digit posessions?

We ll trade the pick away again like we did with the Dom Tyson for Kelly trade. Damn Kelly looked the goods yesterday.

It being a better pick doesnt make it a 2 for 1. It was comparison to Vince and Kelly for Tyson and Salem.

Its the difference between trading J kelly for Tyson and Salem or Vince and Kelly for Tyson and Salem. It was not 2 for 1 and people got to get that through theyre heads

2nd round pick is significant, your kidding yourself if you think elsewise. Dont get me started on what players the game has which were 2nd round picks.

Twist it how you like. I counted 2 picks and counted we got back 2 players. An 11 pick upgrade is hardly worth completly discounting our 2nd pick was part of the deal.

Hogan and barry for pick 3 and 13? Thats 2 for 2

Tyson deal wasnt 2 for 1. It wss 2 for 2

Big question is where would BP rate these kids? Once we work that out then we do the opposite ans we are sweet

GWS would need to add something else in otherwise the trade would be of no benefit for St Kilda and lots of benefit for GWS.

Why would St Kilda want Boyd over Mcartin?

Doing well in the SANFL means nothing.

No need to be so narky...I didnt say it will change everything so dont put words in my mouth. Having no nomination indicates that we have no new young players making the same impact that other clubs young players are to warrant a nomination.

2 players wont get us far. Need more

No rising star nomination yet. 16th on the ladder and no new young gun standing out. We are due for a PP

1 first rounder pick wont get us too much, we ll need some currency and Howe is great currency. Teams wont give us up good players for Blease Strauss or Tapscott unfortunately

I would put Howe on the trade table. Good player but more of a nice to have. GWS would pay overs for him.

If Frawley leaves and we have a bad year we could potentially be looking at 3 first round picks. If we come last picks 1 2 and 3 could be ours.

Good argument but end of the day I don't think he would be as bang-for-buck as Eddie. I remember Carlton were asking their players to take pay-cuts last year so they could try get Cloke. The more pressure put on them financially the better.

1. I said arguably the best which meant it depends how you interpret it. Betts would be better in a sence that he has more years ahead of him and more to deliver in the future then Milne. 2. You would need to be blind freddy to see that we are not desperate for a good small forward. 3. Cool 4. Feel free to see how 2013 pans out, nobody is forcing you to read/post on these threads.

And will be cheaper, is a Free agent and fills a hole in our list. I dont see rioli as fililng a gap as he will just be another mid/forward which we already have plenty of (Sylvia, Blease, Howe, Kent, Tapscott, Davey, Toumpas ect)
