Pick 1 on the table

[southernsaint]

Given that g.w.s. have put pick 1 on the table what would you be prepared to give up to get it. They are chasing experinced players especially a ruckman. Would you trade big ben and maybe more to snare pick 1. Its a hard call, would love tom boyd but i dont think i could do it. Your thoughts

[paddy]

we dont have anyone they would trade for it, perhaps BJ Last year/?

Ben for pick one. Yep that will happen. Maybe we would need to throw in CJ to get it over the line though.

LMAO

who in their right mind would take that

[Saints94]

Realisticly though would they take McEvoy & Pick 3 for Pick 1??

[matrix]

ok that looks a bit better

now
who rucks for us?

Hickey & Stanley imo..

I hope so. That would be such a great deal for us. To make sure they do it though I also chuck in Jack Steven and Armo. Then we can have a 8 year gap in our age profile.

do you have to s*** on every discussion?

i wouldnt take the trade in a heart beat but lets at least have a discussion

whats the draft looking like this year
who would be the top five players and the positions they play?
i wouldnt have a clue as i see bugger all lower grade footy and dont know about the youth coming up

[southernsaint]

I did say ben and more.

Maybe we'd pick a luke ball with 1 and miss out on a judd at 3.

Yes when the idea is stupid. You would understand stupid. Lets have a discussion but make it real. Some of the stuff written belongs in fantasy land. I mean losing Ben and pick 3 to get pick one. Seriously what does that mean. And then you get others saying lets get GWS players for picks when GWS have today and previously said they will trade picks for players. People need to realise we arent getting Adams for any picks and we dont have the players to get him so forget him and discuss realistic things that are even slightly able to happen.

ffs you grumpy old bastard

have some fun with it
of course its not going to happen, most of us know that

start a serious discussion thread then if you arent happy with this one
or just dont post in here?

[howlinwolf]

My membership support would be over if we were to trade Ben and pick 3 for pick 1.
Crazy thoughts.
Do you think the difference between 1-3 is so great it = Ben ?
If we were to do it we would be smashed in the ruck to the tune of 3 years.
There's gotta be better moves Pelchen has considered than this one.

Not worth it IMO

[saintspremiers]

How about the Hawks match Buddy's offer, gws is forced to trade for Buddy, and they offer pick 1 for Buddy??

[matrix]

of course not

who would be the (probable) top 5 picks in the daft coming up and what possies are they playing?

[Con Gorozidis]

Hawks would be happy if they end up with pick 1 for Buddy
2013 is their last crack at a flag anyways

[Richter]

Buddy would simply accept the Hawks offer and stay. Then they'd have to de-list half their players to afford him. Wouldn't happen.

Never ever grumpy. Im happy to post here. its fun. Im smiling as I write this. Look a bit like the clown in yesterdays threads.

From reading over on bigfooty (and apologies if I get some wrong I'm going on memory not looking them up)

Tom Boyd - Vic - Full forward - over 195cm and dominating - likely to go at number 1 - comparison: Tom Hawkins
Aish - SA - inside/outside mid - clear number 2 to be drafted

Dunstan - SA - inside mid - clearance king - range 3-6
Dom Sheedy - WA - inside mid - range 3-6
Sharenburg - SA captain - half back flanker - impressive at TAC at weekend - range 3-10
Billings - Vic - playing medium forward now but likely to be mid at senior level - range 3-10
Kelly - Vic - outside mid, great endurance and kick, slightly small - range 3-10
Crouch - SA - inside mid - range 5-10

Basically there are a lot of mids available

[matrix]

great work richter
ok so lets grab a mid


might do a bit of searching on those names later............

im guessing aish is the son of micahel aish?

[Richter]

Not worth it IMO

What about #3 and McEvoy to GWS for Adams and #10

Would leave GWS to be able to trade #1 to someone else.

have to persist with mcevoy i reckon

They want players not picks. All they are getting there is another pick and a player swap. Why does Adams want to come to us? Where is he from? And why get an even bigger gap in our age profile?
