Recruiting Rumour File 2013

Re: Recruiting Rumour File 2013

I cant see it happening, we'd have to lose a Griffen, Libba, Wallis etc plus pick 4 which is just to much.

Pick 4 and Liberatore for pick 1 and 20?

That's the type of thinking you need to apply to engineer a deal.

Re: Recruiting Rumour File 2013

I would go with something like Pick 4 and Wallis and maybe another fringe player.

As much as that would hurt, given Mitch's connection and passion for the club.. But i think he's a player you can cover much easier than say a Roughead.

I doubt GWS will give up pick 1 though. If they landed Franklin then maybe.

Trading Wallis would be madness IMO. But im unable to separate the emotion from it.

That's what would be needed, but I wouldnt do it.

Libba and Wallis are untouchables to me.

We could probably add Hrovat and Tutt to this as well. I'm not knocking Billings, who might end up a Nathan Brown type forward or midfielder, but on what he displayed this year and the forward line we have then it's a harder pick for us.

I'm still pretty keen on Billings and think he should ultimately develop into a midfielder.




The Melbourne GWS trade certainly makes things a tad more interesting. I really hope we can land Aish.

I could live with that, but GWS don't need a midfielder and that is why Tyson was traded.

It's a really tough call.

I'd be prepared to do it, if Matty Boyd was three years younger and we didn't need Liberatore to play such a prominent clearance and accumulation role. We could then prepare for Boyd's demise.

Moot, I suppose.

Re: Recruiting Rumour File 2013

Pick 2 will open up a few more deals now. Don't think they'll hold it for the draft.

This. I would be devastated if we did it, it would tear my heart out and I just think Wallis or Libba and pick 4 is overs for Boyd on so many levels. Would rather we keep our boys and go for Scharenberg or Aish.

What about for pick one and pick 20?

Re: Recruiting Rumour File 2013

Libba and Wallis are untouchable.
Can you imagine how they would feel after being told they had to leave Whitten oval?
It's just too tragic to even contemplate.

I would love to trade for pick 1 but just can't see how we can do it.

Injury has cruelled Wood, Higgins and Williams.
Either of those 3 would be perfect for this scenario if they were fit, and had played on a consistent basis. Their history of injuries hurts us off the field as well as on.

Everyone else is either too old, too young, or too important.

Players I would consider would be Roughhead and Jones but neither of them has really done enough to warrant the trade. Picken I'd trade but Picken and 4 is probably not enough.

Picken, Williams and 4?

Something along those lines?....................

I couldn't trade Libba or Wallis. I'm not saying we shouldn't do it but I couldn't do it. They are part of the fabric of he club.

Yep, we are really moving in the right direction as a club and this is the sort of thing of that could really destroy all that hard work.

I dont think pick 20 holds that much weight in this years draft.

Re: Recruiting Rumour File 2013

Would rather trade e.g pick 6 and smith to Melb next year for pick 1 or 2 to ensure we get Goddard or McCartin.
