    I'd think Goldstein and Jacobs have him covered

      Pick 9 - Schache - Same, a little under, but FA compo helps
      Picks 26 & 39 - Pick 18 (good draft points trade for them with the kid Callenden)
      (FA) Rockliff offered a deal to ensure they get pick 2 - Rockliff

      Just put the rumours in a bowl, mixed, and tried to see what it looked like. We'd have pick 18 in this scenario still, so we could add that to a player or future second rounder and go for a midfielder.

      Sedat, good point. Maybe it's time for some talls to go.

      I don't think we should be assuming FA compo into a trade. Brisbane wouldn't be in it anyway. They'd be silly if they did. Rockliff will have to be a completely separately negotiated trade with no seeming nods or winks.

      They might be interested in Crameri for Martin. That might work. I think we'd be doing well to get anything for Crammers but I constantly misread the trade market. I'm still a bit speechless that after having virtually no key defenders develop over the past 20 years we watch our premiership fullback go to another club and only got a third round pick in return. I know he's not David Dench but he's not Josh Thurgood either.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Particularly if we are in for Trengove at 2.2 over 4!

          Stevo mentioned on Talking Footy that Gaff may be gettable at seasons end.

          Now that is someone I would be happy to spend some coin on. He fills a big need. Pace, endurance and skill.

            Yeah, good point. I hadn't even taken the fact that it would effectively remove our ability to take a FA.

                  He'd never get near it playing for us with our putrid delivery.

                    So true.

                    The first time I saw Tom Boyd at training Libba and Wally were practising kicking the ball to him. After they had missed him by about 25 metres for the tenth time with a simple pass and Boyd yelled out "oh for *!*!*!*!'s sake." I remember thinking "he's going to earn those millions"

                      I find Libba pretty precise with his kicking, not a spearing or penetrating kick but usually hits targets. Seems pretty reliable in front of goal as well.

                          I'm not sold on Schache, but mostly because Dad Collins has him covered for pace and he seems more of a goalsquare player and we have those.
                          I'd rather a quicker leading player who can roam HF if need be.

                              Why i'm confused why we haven't offered him a new deal. He seems to be what we need. Of course i don't know all the details but i'm still a little confused by it.

                                I've seen nothing out of Schache at this point that would make me want to trade for him. Hipwood looks a thousand times better so far.
