2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

Re: 2018 AFL -Trade Rumours and Discussion

I think if we drafted Rozee we would hope he becomes like Wingard (except a little more consistent). Hatley looks a great talent but unfortunately his flaws match our teams' flaws - poor disposal and poor decision making. So i'd be comfortable trading 7 for Wingard.

Does a Wingard acquisition also make more sense as to why we let Dahl go?

I agree with your points here BTT - Wingard is a proven commodity and it looks as though we are unlikely to secure any of those top 5 talents so I too would be comfortable trading 7 for Wingard.

I think the supposed acquisition of Wingard would really help us in an area I am gravely concerned about - the youth and experience of the team. Looking at the players who are already out (Dahlhaus, Clay, Redpath, Likely Roughead, Biggs, maybe Adams and a few others) our list is likely to be even younger again next year. To that end, I really do think we need to entertain bringing in some quality, middle aged talent to support our development and Wingard could be a good fit for that.

I must add, if the $1mil per year price tag is true, i think i'd prefer to draft Rozee. $1mil is a lot to pay for a guy who can be inconsistent and goes missing when the chips are down. He's a great talent but $1mil is pushing it

$1m would put us in the hunt for Gaff or Shiel I'd imagine.

If we manage to sign the Bont up can we afford to have 3 $1million dollar footballers on our list?

GCS President mentioned that they might consider matching the bid for Lynch and making Richmond trade for him.

That would be incredible, very unlikely but I really hope this happens.

God I hope this happens...why should Richmond just get him for free. Let them find 2 first rounders/players etc to make it happen, instead of just having lynch walk into their club.

This is where it is wrong. Richmond get a free agent for nothing and all the other clubs have to pay by dropping a place in the draft order.

Fox Footy reporting Carlton is offering $1m for Dylan Shield.

Grew up a Carlton supporter, I'm Mates with his Uncle and he said he always dreamed of playing for Carlton.

Wingard at 7 is a much safer bet than Rozee who on his videos just seems to take tons of marks when errands ki is come back into the midfield. We want an attacker, a game changer, a goal kicker. Wingard is all of those.

And seriously with Kelly, it’s just all wishful whispering by anonymous bloggers.

Another from the knock me down with a feather files, but Hannebury's officially told the Swans he wants out, to the Saints ideally.

Couldn't have dreamed up a better pairing.

Saints have also offered 1.2-1.3mil a year for 6-7yrs for Shiel

Saints must be giving their first pick and more. As a rebuilding club, rebuilding from the very bottom, I'm not sure why they be parting with a lot for a player who won't be around by the time they next content seriously. I'm not sure I'd be doing that if I was them.

Do you smell that? Yep. It's desperation.

It’s not going to look good if they don’t land him!

Yep. If that happens then between them & North, well, as the saying goes, they couldn't organise a root in a brothel with $1M+ in their wallets with 6+ year terms.

Why would any decent footballer want to go to the Saints with their current list
