Over the last couple of years I have been of the belief that we only needed to tweak our playing list; get a back up ruck or maybe one key defender. I have always believed in the romance of footy; the father/sons should be kept as well as our only Norm Smith medallist. After our last two seasons and the peripheral players we have, I am no longer of this opinion. I feel we need to be aggressive this trade period or shut the window and be happy with the 2016 GF win. The time is now !!

So this is what I would consider ...
JJ out - (GC apparently) - second round pick for him
Hunter out - TWWCG (take what we can get)
Martin - Delisted
Crozier - TWWCG/Delisted
Cordy - TWWCG
Bruce - TWWCG
Vandermeer - Actively shopped around
Keath - Actively shopped around
Dunkley - Seems he is set to leave for a first round pick from Port (although I'd prefer he stay)
McComb - just because

And one of Weightman or Khamis ... both would state their cases on why they should be kept but if I'm being aggressive ...


I would use the picks and 'cap space' we get to GO HARD and aggressively make a play for ...
1. Brody Grundy (he would be my first choice in any scenario) - Collingwood (ruck)
2. Sam Taylor - GWS (key defender)
3. Harris Andrews - Brisbane (key defender)
4. Ben McKay - North Melbourne (key defender)
5. Jarrod Witts - Gold Coast (ruck)

So ... these are my musings; what would you do?
