Do we need to be aggressive in trade week after this?
Should we offer up our first rounder up?
What do people think?
trades?

but i would trade both milne and kosi for a decent FF.
who could kick 2-4 goals a game, and take heat off ROO
kosi tries, but he is far to inconsistant.
except i wouldnt trade milne, because you need a small forward, think he does his job up the ground to, and i dont care if i get shot for this
but kosi is far to inconstant, and isnt good enough.
saintjake, Ralphy: We made the Grand Final. That is the reason why it would be foolish to start trading away the backbone of your team.

mini, has proven himself as quite talanted down there.
we also have lynch as well
I love the tiprat, but he is going missing more and more often. I doubt we could trade him though, who would take him.
Kosi I want to stay, I still think he can improve and perhaps at last live up to that number on the back of his jumper! Although I have to agree a true FF who kicks several each game would make our forward line scary and take 3 opponents off Roo in every contest.

but he doesn't do enough as a FF.
he crashes packs, half the time spoiling Roo.
he lumbers around,
he takes the telling mark here and there.
i would love to see someone like fev (im not saying get fev)
but a fast leading true FF.
who i would bet on kicking goals.
im never sure with Kosi

Milne is a required player. He has developed so much more to his game this year including the ability to contribute to the Lyon game plan of forward pressure.Griggsy wrote:I love the tiprat, but he is going missing more and more often. I doubt we could trade him though, who would take him.

Kosi is important due to his ability to crash packs and create oportunity for small forwards like Sneider, Milne and McQualter.
What we need is to develop a new leading player to assist this forward line with more options. When Roo and Kosi are mobbed, small forwards must play forward, not up the ground to create the scoreboard and frontal pressure. Milne is needed here.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

i'd rather have a FF who took his OWN opportunities instead of being there only to create them.kalsaint wrote:Milne is a required player.

Our draft picks are now officially 16, 32, 48, 64
BUT only 8 months of kids will be available so these picks are the equivalent of
24 normally an mid round 2 pick.
48 normally a late round 3 pick (Heyne was 48, Stanley was 47)
72 norammly a mid round 5 pick (Cahill was 79 but was the 74th taken due to passes).
We may get milk but there wont be any cream left when our first round pick comes.
It is realisticly a second round pick.

im surprised at everyone wanting to get rid of players.... the way some people are going on it sounds like we got thrashed. If we do trade i would think it would be pick or depth player for player not one of our established 22SainterK wrote:For goodness sake, we had the shots at goal, they didn't go through....this wasn't about lack of capable forwards, it was about lack of composure!
