    We need to make a call to get some young players with pace and kicking skills.
    The mental fragility of our playing group would be severely tested if we got rid of someone like Crossy, even if it was in the pursuit of ultimate glory.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

        You're probably right, which just goes to show how much of a front the bluff and bravado of the leadership group really is.

        I think it's highly unlikely but it's tough decisions that take teams from 3-4 to premiers.

                We wouldn't get a first rounder for Everitt, let alone an early first rounder. We would need to trade Everitt and another player like a Wood or Roughead and obviously we wouldn't even consider that.

                    Just wondering why his name hasnt been mentioned as he seems to have been talked about before, Yes I know it would take other players too.
                    As mentioned with other players on this thread.

                            I had a similar thought & I reckon it would be enough to get WCE to agree.

                            It would also give us a bit of salary cap releif.

                            Its always a gamble when you trade players for picks.

                                There is only one player on our list they would trade pick 4 for: Cooney. And we wouldn't trade him anyway.

                                Josh Hill and Daniel Cross? Just what they need - another hard at it mid who can't kick and another outside forward who can't play a key role...

                                For pick 4 it has to be a hell of a lot more than that.
                                What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

                                    ^^^Agree. Two fringe players isn't equal to the likely gun they'd get for pick 4.

                                    It would be like saying we should forgo the F/S pick in round 1 for a Richard Hadlee and Setanta O'hAilpin from Carlton - two fringe types. Doesn't make sense.

                                        Performances in finals can make or break a player. If a player has been just ok during the season but excelled in the finals series, I would not want to trade him.

                                                            That's beside the point, a fringe player who couldn't command a first round pick at 20 is less chance to command one as a fringe player at 21.
