Pick #5 & Easton Wood/Shaun Higgins/Tom Williams for Pick 1 - any interest?

Clearly Silvagni and Cameron won't buy into that type of deal.

If we had pick 1 would you be happy with that.

GWS need to reduce their list size, and packaging a bunch of injury prone or fringe players does not = a gun.

If we wanted a gun forward, the time was last year (mini draft).

[wimberga]

Well does anyone have something that they might accept?

Is this thread not to figure out a way to get Boyd?

Pick 5 and Adam Cooney for Pick 1

Pick 5 and Adam Cooney for Pick 1

I would do that.

Pick 5 and Adam Cooney for Pick 1

Where do I sign?

I do. Griffen or one of Roughead/Minno + a pick swop their 12 for our pick 4. That's what I'd be demanding if the boot was on the other foot.

If we were going to do any of that we should have gone for Hogan.

If I was GWS I'd definately take Boyd and trade one of Boyd, Patton, Cameron when they have even more value in 3 to 5 years. They can afford to wait to trade until the other teams are even more desperate when Brown, Riewoldt and Pav are all retired in a couple of years and they'll get offers thrown at them by then.

Think we just take best available and wait a year.

I would do that.

So Cooney has no say in it and given GWS are loaded with mids whats in it for them?
I doubt Cooney would want to move the family to Sydney anyway.

We need to come up with a vastly better offer.

They would want someone like Minson to address their need to upgrade their rucks.
I just don't think we have the pieces they would want to get the number one pick off them.

If they land Buddy and given they already have Cameron and Patton they might be tempted to to trade their pick but would want a premium for it.

Maybe they would be interested in Stringer or Macrae.

Yep they will take the player that believe to be the best and I do think we just go down the road of the best available player.

would we trade pick 5 (or thereabouts) AND Macrae for No.1 (Boyd) Is he that good?

[Mofra]

I would be dead against this.
If we wanted to trade heavily for a KPF, by all accounts the time was last year (Hogan).
Boyd is the second best available this year.
Kosi was the second best available in 2000, and he won the rising star in 2001.

Would we trade Macrae & pick 5 for Kosi's career?

[bulldogsman]

would we trade pick 5 (or thereabouts) AND Macrae for No.1 (Boyd) Is he that good?

No, I can't see this happening. Hogan looks the better of the two, yet we did not want to trade picks 5 & 6 for him. Can't see us doing exactly that for Boyd and neither would I want to.

I'd rather trade pick 5 + something else for a proven KPF.

What if Melbourne get the No 1 pick?

Would GWS be interested in trading Patton?
