Trade Discussion 2018 thread #2: Shiel or no Shiel? SHIEL

Do I have a bridge for you

One would think we would need to trade in a third rounder… Perhaps Collingwood would trade our second for two of their thirds…

Setterfield ain’t going anywhere

Shiel we have to get! If we get Martin bonus

That’s enough, plenty talent in our team to win a flag

we’ve been throwing in 3rd rounders to get trades over the line and it never works. so why bother.

Has to come a point where you say no, not good enough for what we need to make us a flag contender. Not everyone is AFL-grade week in week out. That is what we need from our second and third tier players if we are going to genuinely challenge.

Sure, now you want Martin :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Exactly. I wouldn’t even consider him 3rd tbh. Would rather go with a youngster even if it’s pick 100 or a mature age vfl player

Should just start trade/FA now. No one wants to endure a week of Collingwood and West Coast being forcibly shoved down our throats.

God damn it. Trade period doesn’t end till October 17th. I’m gonna have a nervous breakdown.

I’m banning myself from this thread until the trade period begins haha

Nothing will be announced this week. Pretty sure the AFL want all the focus on the GF so they ask clubs to not make announcements until the week after

goodnight. see you here tomorrow
