No one wants to see Goodes or O'keefe or Buchanan or Malceski go, but the debate is if we don't trade them now then we'll be relying on low draft picks for years to come as the club meanders through season after season being a middle tier club.....No thanks.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect...

No no no no - Nico is correct. Let's please not trade away two of our elite players (ROK and Goodes).Comment

As I see it, here's the trade value of our list:
1. O'Keefe - Pick 6-10
1. Goodes - Pick 6-10
1. McVeigh - Pick 6-10
4. Jolly - Pick 10-15
4. C Bolton - Pick 10-15
4. Vezpremi - Pick 10-15
7. Bird - Pick 15-20
7. Currie - Pick 15-20
9. Jack - Pick 20-25
9. Malceski - Pick 20-25
9. Moore - Pick 20-25
12. Buchanan* - Pick 25-30
12. Hall - Pick 25-30
12. Mattner - Pick 25-30
15. Ablett* - Pick 30-40
15. Grundy* - Pick 30-40
15. Richards - Pick 30-40
15. Schmidt - Pick 30-40
15. Meredith - Pick 30-40
15. J Bolton - Pick 30-40
21. Bevan - Pick 40-50
21. Barlow - Pick 40-50
21. Thornton - Pick 40-50
24. Davis* - Pick 50-60
24. Fosdike* - Pick 50-60
25. Brennan - Pick 60+
If Malceski could have progressed as expected this year without the injury - he would have been the only player able to trade for a Top 5 draft pick.
* These are the only players I think we should be shopping around unless another club offers up a better pick than my estimation. We have other players ready to walk straight into their spots.Last edited by Alibi Monday; 25 August 2008, 10:26 AM.Comment

I can't see Goodes being traded under any circumstances. Anyone who thinks ROK is irreplaceable though has rocks in their heads. If we could get a first round pick and a good young player then the club would seriously consider it IMO."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

If he had any interest at all in returning to Melbourne, ROK would be the perfect one to trade. If he is really keen on staying in Sydney then I see little reason to trade him.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

This years draft is IMO one of the worst to be trying to trade players for high draft picks.
Everyone is panicking about the following drafts so even good players wont have very high currency. Only the trade for Judd managed to scrape one top five draft pick last year and then about pick 18 so I dont believe anyone will be trading top ten draft picks this year (unless it is a big big name like Kerr or Brown maybe).
I still believe that everyone is getting a little hysterical about the trade chances in 2009. There is no way that GC can just take all their draft picks and not use some for proven players. Therefore the ability to trade in the year before they are due to enter is probably better than this year and former seasoned premiership players may have good currency to develop what will be a very young list.Comment
