Perhaps, but it might annoy Prudden getting demoted and pay cut. If Bevo wants to keep the group together and happy, it's an interesting move if Roarke would be upgraded for the season. I'm not against it all, but it's just seat shifting.

It's not unreasonable though. Roarke has shown enough to be senior listed whereas Prudden's injuries make his status as a member of the list borderline (rookie) at best.

The counter to that is if someone like the Saints are talking to Roarke Smith.
I think the question is more around who's most likely to get to 60 games of senior football or which player is the better prospect.

Dog's go Bang! with a pick swap with Gold Coast - pick 26 and 80 for 35 and 43.
I like it.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
So in effect, we traded our original pick 40 & Hamling for 26 & 80.
That 3 pick downgrade in the Hamling trade meant nothing as expected.

Prudden is essentially a midfielder, so I would say he is more flexible.

If Prudden is spending a fair chunk of next year on the sidelines can we simply elevate Lynch for Prudden and Smith for Wallis?
On the Hrovat trade, are we banking on North having a massive drop next year? Could turn out to be a work of genius.

Prudden's AFL games have been better than Smith's - and both players have done a knee - so I don't really understand the above.

I'm not against it, I would actually delist him and not rookie him. I'm just playing guess work. If we rookie him I want a one year offer only, as our history of rookie listing delistees isn't great.

Prudden and Murphy did their knees at pretty much the same time, and started running at the same time. You would think both would be on track to be playing footy at the beginning of the year.

Correct, we can upgrade them for Wally, Prudden &/or Redders.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
love the pick upgrade to 26. that gives us 2 shots at picking up a couple of young guns and in a very strong draft.
hate the Hrovat deal

The Hrovat deal is what it is. No need to sweat the small stuff.

Perhaps if we were talking about a round 2 swap of picks but 3rd and 4th round swaps is just a bit of tinkering.
I guess it's not a bad deal but I think it's well under for a player like Hrovat who I would have been more than happy to try and keep.

Re: The Moving Rolling De-Listing/Trading Thread 2016
I'd throw the Swans a late pick for Richards.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
