West Coast were keen on Myers a year or so ago & with Mitchell & Priddis retiring perhaps their interest would be renewed? Would we get pick 30 (late second round) from them? Could be a handy pick but may have to throw in another pick to make it work.
Francis requesting trade back to S.A
Thats how we get all 3.
yep coming through now, gone
FFS
Damn.
Under Contract means nothing anymore. For better or worse.
Scooter said his bro was moving to Nelb to help train?
Change of mind, ckearly homesick
Well, now you can all get CRAZY creative with 4 and 5 club megadeals!
So, Stringer isn’t worth a 1R pick, but Francis is?
Ah, Blitz - don’t go changin’…
If anything, that’s about as straight a swap as you could possibly envisage but it won’t happen that way. Third and fourth parties will be involved. It’s kinda sad, but it will at least ultimately net us SSS…
Melb: Out 10, 27, Watts In Lever
Adel: In Francis, 11 Out Lever
Cats In Watts Out 33
GWS In 27 Out Smith
GCS In 33 Out Saad
Dogs In 28, 46 Out Stringer
Ess In 10, Saad, Stringer,Smith Out 11, Francis, 28,47
With Lever on the move, i wouldnt be surprised if the Crows in particular had been talking to Aarons management for a while.
We cant complain. We’re hunting contracted players too.
Aaron to Adelaide… Charlie to Brisbane… . Who is coming to Essendon.
Pick 19. Send it to WB’s.
Thats the one.
And keep 11.
You forgot Sloane…
Tough to see how Port as a Francis destination helps get things moving too much. But quick general musings:
Dogs get Pick 11 and Impey
Dons get Stringer and 26, 29
Port get Francis.
Ignoring individual values ( we arent getting a great amount for Francis in isolation) it makes the Dogs handing back a 2nd round more of a no-brainer.
If those two picks are then enough to get Smith and Saad (big if) we’ve effectively traded Francis and pick 11 for all three and keep a 2nd round selection. I really rate Stringer and Smith so I’m not outraged at that even if we’ve probably paid a bit overs (depending on how Francis turns out).
I’ll probably come back in 10 minutes and be utterly scornful of this scenario, lol. Far better if the Crows want Francis. And the Francis trade request doesnt seem overly insistent anyway.
So, how do Joe, Hooker, Stew, Raz, Stringer, Smith, Walla and Green fit into the forward line? Green out and rotate some I guess. What a forward line!
No one wants to play at the gold coast and they are hard to trade with. No idea. Maybe a pick of ours to Geelong, Duncan to Goldcoast and Saad to Essendon plus ablett to Cats. GC get their target who must have been courted, Geelong get Ablett and better compo.
11 for Smith and a second round pick. GWS need to get into the first round we need Smith.
That second round pick to the dog’s. Stringers correct weight considering he’s a broken man.
Done.
Francis to Adelaide for 16
Stringer to Essendon for 16
Colyer to GC for Saad
D Smith and 3rd rnd 2018 to Essendon for 2nd rnd 2017 and 2nd rnd 2018
We take pick 11 to the draft.
Pick 16 for Francis? I wouldn’t give pick 116 for the lazy sook
Francis and Pick 11 for Sloan
2018 first rounder for Stringer
Pick 28 and Jerret for Smith
Pick 47 and Howlett or Colyer straight swap for Saad
Baggers Ambrose Gleeson
McKenna Hurley SAAD
McGrath SLOAN Zaka
Fantasia Daniher Tippa
SMITH Hooker Stewart
Belly Hepp STRINGER
