I thought they signed him up already but could be wrong

[shaker]

The disappointing thing for me is we desperately need a Treloar or Danger quality player but it is not going to happen because once again we will have no top end draft pick and the only players worth any currency are our guns which is robbing peter to pay paul so looks like we will end up with one of the most under achieving players in the comp Yarran which will only help us when he can be bothered making an effort

You guys need Sj

Someone who has the experience of winning. Waite NDS and Higgins have been huge ins for us.


Danger is a Free Agent so you could pick him up for nothing.

You are right Holz but the offloading all there players at the Cats says to me if Danger leaves the Crows there is only one place he is heading was using him more as quality of player we need so unless there is another gun free agent up for grabs it looks like another slim year for us Aish , Bennell will command higher draft picks than we have and Treloar looks set for the pies we will end with a pick around 14 or 15 maybe after compensation picks so it's hard to see us landing any quality with that unless we throw in a good player as well

There's trading of future picks now anyhow so it makes our ladder position not as important regarding trading picks.

I think I remember reading something that suggested we would give our first round pick this year and next for Treloar if it came to that whereas the Pies weren't keen to do that and GWS might be keen on the picks.

[Toga]

Let's just hope the Pies do us a favour and play hardball for the deal to fall through >:D

[quinny88]

Marty White the only player of note that has left us in recent times which includes traded players. Can't remember the last time we traded a player? Maybe it's time to start looking at that if we want to secure a big name. Players like Conca, Griffiths, Grigg have currency and while I wouldn't necessarily want to see them traded if throwing one of them in as well as draft picks means we can secure someone I'd be happy to see it happen.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Should trade someone to get a top 8 pick and get Rhys Mathieson

I'd expect Clayton Oliver to be available around our pick, he'd be perfect.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Hang on I always forget this but is our pick based on our finals performance or our ladder position?

[Bill Manspeaker]

finals Crunchtacular

Pretty sure it's finals.

Freo had the pick after us last year in the draft even though they finished 4th but because they went out in straight sets.
