    For pick 4 it has to be a hell of a lot more than that.
    I agree that they will want the world for the pick and we aren't in a position to trade for it.

      Re: WCE Prepared To Trade Pick 4

      Given all the 17year olds taken out pre- draft, isn't pick 4 really closer to pick 16 or so?

        Valid point & the way WCE are flogging it, you'd think it was pick 1 in a super draft.

          I agree WCE isn't a club in need of someone like Cross, not dissimilar to us they need pacey skillful midfielders. I wonder if Gold Coast would consider a similar trade for pick 3 or 5, a hard bodied in and under player would be very useful in a team of kids.

            Especially on a big fast track like Subiaco. Lack of pace really stands out.

              No. I wouldn't trade the pick at all.

              Agree with this. Maybe Hargrave still isn't sufficient, but I would think he is above a 3rd rounder. Add Josh Hill perhaps?

              Barry Hall in his 30's after being sacked was still worth a 3rd rounder.
              If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                ......No, but perhaps the WCE aren't too bright.

                They had no idea there was a drug problem at their club so perhaps we may fool them on this as well.

                  If the WCE's are willing to give up pick 4, it means Woosha doesn't want to wait to rebuild his side. Also with the GWS coming in he may think this is not possible so he wants senior players now to compensate his list. Woosha is also hanging on to his career at the moment so he'll want players that will make a difference.

                  I doubt Hill will be that option, Hargrave maybe but he would want a big name and/or some quality seniors.

                    Doesn't it mean the coaches have zero faith in the recruiters to get it right?

                    The current side is littered with high draft picks who have simply not performed or proved to be flawed (and some almost fatally).

                    The Crows were crucified in Adelaide for not picking Ebert when they had the chance - is anyone talking about that decision now? What about Masten? Natanui? Scott Selwood? The list goes on and on and on.

                    If that was my recent draft history, I would be looking for proven commodities as well.
                    What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

                      Daniel Motlop for pick 4.

                        Surely you mean Daniel Motlop and pick 5 for pick 4?

                        Nope, still wouldn't do it.

                              They got a handy player called Dangerfield instead.

                                Wouldn't think that would get the job done!Couldn't see us being involved in pick 4.
