Is he a chance of being delisted as if we want him then we are better off getting him cheap.

I think we will trade for a KPP. Looking at how poor the field is, we should only put our third rounder out there for either Boyle or Campbell.
I'd like Macintosh, but i can't see how we could get him. At best i can see Ray, Wight and 2nd rounder. Wouldn't get it done though.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh God Essendon are great comedic value.
A player for player swap. My goodness. Here have a piece of crap and we'll have that All Australian back thanks.Essendon coach Matthew Knights left open the option of a possible play for O'Keefe, creating the prospect of a player-for-player swap, with the Swans having showed strong interest in Bombers speedster Andrew Lovett.
I think the fact that he really isn't a go to forward has to be the pass/fail criteria on recruiting any forward, and from the sounds of it Boyle fails miserably
IMO Welsh is a class act, he had a down patch during the season, but with a full pre-season could again produce another strong season, but again he is a second or third prong of an attack ideally.
I agree that he'd struggle as the main target, as a 2nd or 3rd forward however, he would be of some value, thats why we'd need to find 2 key forwards, we did the same thing with Rawlings, we tried to turn him into THE key forward when in reality, he was a decent defender at Hawthorn, played a decent season up forward for them, but only managed 30 goals!
We also seemed to make the mistake with not checking his knee's out before trading for him, but thats all ancient history.
If we were able to grab a Hall, then Boyle would be fine, but Barry told Rocket that he wants to stay at Sydney.
So that begs the question, who do we chase? We only have a second round pick to play with, unless we dangle out one of our required players, as Geelong did to nab Ottens!
We want a second round pick for Farren Ray, but i'd imagine we might get a 3rd rounder for him.
If we can only geta 3rd round pick for Ray, I
Sorry about that.
I would keep Ray if we only get a third round pick.
I don't see how this is any different to the discussions about Thorp ... other than Thorp is four year younger than Boyle !!!
If I had to choose between the two ... mmmm ... neither thanks !!!
Recruit youngens ... build our team !!
The only action I would be interested in this week is a striaght swap of Farren Ray for Ben Reid
