Cloke

Outside of Cloke he said. I should've mentioned that!

Re: Players On The Market 2016

he has mentioned we want another CHF, outside of Cloke.

I took this as meaning we would draft a young CHF if we can. And so we should!

Re: Players On The Market 2016

Really don't want to see us bringing players from other clubs. I do accept that Cloke looks good value and the spot is there because of the Redpath injury.

What we have is a great list that has won a flag with Suckling, Murphy, Wallis, Crameri, Adams arguably best 22 options already.

We then have Webb, Bailey Williams, Bailey Dale plus Roarke Smith and Brad Lynch looking likely.

Prefer to keep sending Dalrymple to the draft to build on his record.

Unless there is an out and out star that wants to come to us, I agree that hitting the draft is the way to go.

Would love to give Dalrymple a few more picks in the 20s to work with. He has a great track record in that range.

Well we have pick 18. Hopefully Stevens & Hrovat/Jong can get second rounders, or some upgrading. Three picks from 18-30 is plenty enough for him to nail. It certainly doesn't sound like we are going to be big traders now, despite Gordo's comments earlier in the year.

Surely the money is there though BT. We chased Hurley and we would have been offering him around $750k. I don't think because we win the flag we sit on our hands come trade time. I'm hoping we do something that makes other supporters curse us. if there are players out there that would walk into our best 22 then thats who we should be chasing.

Agreed. My ideal scenario is Koby getting us about what we paid, a late second rounder and another player upgrading that to GCS for 21 or 22 (late second round to early second round). So say 18, 21, 36, 59, 71 & 72.

Give Collingwood both 4th rounders (71 & 72) for Cloke. They just need him gone, it's a win/win. Both move into the rest of our strategies.
Give Dalrymple 21, 36 & 59. That's plenty enough for him.
Hold out pick 18 for a potential player. If one emerges great, as you say there's cap space. If not, Dalrymple gets it.

What Hawthorn did so very well to have sustained success was trading their high later picks. Burgoyne, Gibson, Gunston, Lake, McEvoy & O'Rourke (as well as later role players like Hale). If we can turn two players into a pick around 21, then I'd like to see what pick 18 could net us during the trade window. Surely there's another Brisbane exodus with someone we could like. A back up plan of 18 & 21 with Dalrymple is a wonderful back up plan.

And listening to JMac it sounds they'll bring Cloke in and that will be about it. They'll accommodate players who want better opportunity elsewhere so I'd expect Dalrymple will have some nice picks to play with after that.

Re: Players On The Market 2016

Don't change the list just for the sake of changing .. We have an extremely good list .. They are young and will only get better .. If players want to leave that's fine we are in a position where we will get overs for them.
Cloke and Crameri will fill the only void we actually have.( help out Stringer )
I'm not sure we have another weak position we need to fill.
Our list seems to cover all positions on the ground .

Re: Players On The Market 2016

We need another ruckman as depth whether it be a developing prospect or mature pickup from another club (AFL or state league)

We also need a forward developing at Footscray. Preferably at least 1 tall and 1 small. This can be achieved though the draft but if the right trade comes up lets take it.

Re: Players On The Market 2016

How enjoyable has it been this year to cast a passing glance at trade week and not be obsessed by it?

Re: Players On The Market 2016

Will we offload Wilbur?

Re: Players On The Market 2016

Sound like Port were pushing Hartlett out the door to relieve salary cap pressure but he's decided to stay put.

Might be others that get squeezed out now. Hope JMac is on the phone to Trengove's manager. Would fit our system nicely.

Re: Players On The Market 2016

If GC want Jong do we consider pick pocketing either Prestia or Omaera from the Hawks? Perhaps Jong + pick 18 gets one of them?

Not sure we need either (although both are quality), but I do really like the idea of screwing the Hawks over.
