Re: Proactive Poaching

I'd put their Mother on the list if we could get them both.

Surely Gordon Legal is looking for an admin assistant on $200,000. For both Hills.

Re: Proactive Poaching

Griffin Logue, key defender from Freo is out of contract. Played his first game of the year last week after the injury to Pearce and reportedly did well.

Has anyone seen much of him, MJP perhaps?

Would you take the brothers?

Yeah I would. Stephen Hill has had a poor run with injuries but yeah I’d overlook that.

I think he might be a player without a true position but yes maybe a KP defender is his best spot. He's just 21 and his best football might still be a few years away. I can't see him leaving the west though and they would want something decent in return

Re: Proactive Poaching

What about poaching draft picks? if the AFL don't change the rules and we still get access to Jamarra Ugle-Hagen (touted as a possible top 5 pick) then;

1. trading our 1st round pick in 2020 would seem a logical move. WE could potentially use that to receive a decent 1st round pick this year. Giving us 2 1st round picks and access to the highly talented attacking players available in this years draft that we badly need.

2. Then knowing we have 3 picks in the top 25 we might package any or all of our 3 3rd picks this year to either move up the order in the 2019 draft to secure another high draft pick or look for a package deal of draft pick/s in the 2020 draft to enable us to secure JUH.

If we are allowed to keep the player we've been developing, in JUH, then we need to do something with the 2020 first rounder if the 'top 5 forecast' stays with him. I'm working on a few different scenarios (draft point calculation heavy) that I'll put in the BTs early list management thread in the next week or so. There's a hell of a lot of moving parts.

Re: Proactive Poaching

If we finish bottom four and it’s looking likely should we get in a year early and offer our first and second pick for Jeremy Cameron?
We certainly have the money for him.

The Giants do love having early draft picks so it could be worth considering. I'd want something back the other way though.

Re: Proactive Poaching

Reports that Tom Papley could request a trade back to Victoria. Contracted until the end of 2020 so wouldn't be cheap but would certainly fill a small forward need for us.

I'm all in on that. I was hoping one of their small forwards would come up, and Sydney I imagine would like some extra picks in their rebuild.

Re: Proactive Poaching

Papley is exactly the type we need.

Re: Proactive Poaching

+1 for Papley. They'd (rightly) want a first rounder though and I'm not willing to do that.

The Swans are probably the most willing club in the league to do player-for-player swaps, but again though, I don't know who we could give up of equal value or how we create equal value that way.

We'd have to trade a first round pick in, or give up a decent player and a current draft or future pick.

I'd love to have him on the list.

I'd offer our 2020 first rounder. He's not just an outside small forward finisher, he's strong and has mongrel. I love that competitive streak.

Re: Proactive Poaching

I’ve had a bit of a look around and I’d be pretty surprised if Papley wants out. Grew up a swans supporter with a family connection to the club, rookie draftee and vice captain.

Those are the sort of players that don’t leave (unless they play for us).
