Suns want Saints first round pick for Hickey

[Capper]

from afl.com.au

St Kilda is also straining to get a deal done for Suns big man Hickey - they are the frontrunners for his services, according to the Herald Sun - but could well baulk at Gold Coast's asking price: a prized first-round draft pick.

The Suns want the Saints' pick 13, but the Saints are hopeful that their selection 25 will suffice for 21-year-old Hickey, who has played 12 games for the Suns.

Surely the Suns are asking too much for Hickey

[Cicjose]

yep

Hickey is unproven and not worth a first round pick

and the Suns train without Hickey

GOLD Coast began their pre-season training on Monday morning, but Tom Hickey and Joshua Toy - the subjects of trade speculation - were nowhere to be seen.

Gold Coast are ridiculously ambitious with what they want for their players....

is it possible they were there and just nobody knew who they were?

hickey is probably the best young ruck atm.... he's probably worth a top 20 pick tbh.

unlike tippett :P

can we please have a thread that doesn't relate to Tippett?? There are enough threads on him already, geez   ::)

I disagree, Gorringe was a top 10 pick twp years ago so I reckon if they can get some games into him he'll be a gun

[Ziplock]

yeah gorringe was a top 10 pick.

but notice hickey getting games before him?

hickey was a zone selection, so it's a bit hard to place him in the draft order...

[Justin Bieber]

Well Gorringe has been injured most of his career thus far.

Hickey has been fit, but is pretty shower.

Dixon is like the better back-up ruck and Hickey may struggle to find a spot tbh.

[Tominator]

don't forget Zac Smith guys

[Justin Bieber]

don't forget Zac Smith guys

Hence Dixon being the back-up to Zac.

[Tominator]

but Gold Coast seriously are being ridiculous hard-asses with trades...

   -   Wanted Tippett mid-season but would not let go of Day, Gorringe, Tape or Pick 2
   -   Refuse to let Toy go to the club of his choice (so will accept an offer from Freo if suits them)
   -   Wanted two first round draft picks for Josh Caddy (worth one maybe but definitely not two)
   -   Now want a first rounder for a back-up ruckman in Hickey


Can somebody please tell me their logic ??     ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

hence Hickey being back-up to Dixon....

first round draft pick for a third or even fourth ruck? they mad bro?

[Justin Bieber]

Why would they let go of their top talent?

Toy has gone to Western Bulldogs over weekend I thought ???

Caddy is worth one first rounder, since he was one himself.

Hickey is probably worth pick 25 or whatever Saint Kilda has second.
