Rather than focus on who we want to sink the boot into, maybe it would be better to think about who we'd like to have join us next year. We may get lucky and uncover another Adam Goodes in the draft, but who would we really like to trade for
i reckon roosy will try and get a few players like B2 and ted who aren't getting the opportunities at other clubs - as long as they're youngish and we don't give up too much (or our draft picks) than it could be alright
a few players of the top of my head are ryan murphy from freo and sam butler from WC (mmm maybe he was injured all year)

"One thing I think we?ve done very, very well is to take players from another clubs and make them into very, very good players. It?s certainly been a tried and true formula for us."
It's only "tried and true" if you ignore all the terrible duds we've picked up along the way.
We got Craig Bolton because he couldn't get into a triple Premiership winning side - perhaps the best of all time.
Our recent "tried and trues" include Paul Chambers, hardly a trading success story, and Ted Richards, who is serviceable at best.
Considering there is fewer trades done every year, I'm not exactly sure what riches Roos thinks this policy is going to achieve.
The likely clubs to "raid" would be West Coast or Geelong. Priddis is good but plays regularly now anyway.

ooo justin sherman is another one that was on the outer this season
Was injured this year. Came 2nd the the lions B&F last year...hardly be able to get him for a steal.
