Simon Wiggins and pick 25 to Sydney for Jude Bolton.

Dont think we want unproven pheripheral players. We have pretty of those in our rank, dont think we need one more. If you are looking to get Jude Bolton and if he is wanting to leave, you might have to look parting with your first round pick, may be a bit more.

Cannot see the rationale of sending Bolton packing but. If we trade him, apart from Kirk, who else we could rely on to get us the ball??

Nope.

I would claim that you over-estimated his ability!

Ha - you prove my point (or some point I made at same time!!)

BTW - I will note that a very good piece of play by Bolton (just watching the second quarter again through AFL site) was about 6 minutes in, he took a nice mark from a Barry kick, played on and delivered on the left foot to Williams. This sort of creative and dangerous play is what I am looking for him (or some midfielder of ours) to do more of.

What???

There's a point to all this?

Why wasn't I told?

Wiggins is a tough nut who tries his guts out, but isn't brilliantly skilled. However, he had come on a bit before wrecking his shoulder in Rd 13. He's a decent type player who won't be compensation alone for Bolton, so we'll throw in our second Rd draft ick as well. Sound good?

LMAO. that's a good one. a wrecked shoulder too? that sounds great.
maybe we can get Angwin too i hear he's reliable if you need someone to score for you.

Sure, you can take the headcase. As for DeLuca, we're trying to groom him to hold down CHF - think he's a great prospect and a great get for pick 72.

Heck, I would have offered Pick 9 and Wiggo for Jude, but we at the CSC (http://www.csc.actebs.com.au ) have a policy of never trading first round picks.

I proposed the same trade over at the CSC and was asked how I'd pull it off without a ski mask and a gun, so your response is not overly surprising.

What about a swap for Andrew Walker...
