2016 trading and drafting (merged thread)

[stevoswan]

The swans have landed some pretty big deals!

I can think of two(who are still with us)....... , so I think the Hawks have our measure there, well and truly.......remember, they CAN have everything!

Hutchy mentioned on Footy Classified tonight about swans and O'Meara...
hard to say how much to read into it, however he also predicted that Buddy could end up at the swans and he was mocked for that...

So could be something there...Mitchell to Suns - O'Meara to Swans....

As long as it isn't the Hawks.

Mitchell apparently turned down a big offer from the Suns several months ago so I would say this is pure speculation.

I don't know. I think Lebron James went to Miami for few seasons because of the girls.

And then he returned to Ohio where the girls are more grounded and less superficial, and the bands are just so much better.

Anthony Hudson on the Superfooty podcast yesterday said he had mail that Mitchell to the Suns was not out of the question...

If we don't win this year, Mitchell may stay around - can't see the Suns premiership window opening for a while.

I wouldn't feel so bad about Mitchell leaving if he went to the Suns.... far preferable then to the wees and poos.

What about if the suns had a year like GWS?

They aren't Hawthorn and they aren't the plastics. That is good enough for me at this point.

Getting O'Meara would certainly add a different dimension to our midfield.
Not sure how we would work it financially. Do you think Mitchell plus our first round pick would interest them enough?

One good thing that has come out of GWS arriving, is we can re-use all the "AFL love child" -type insults we used to cop, against them.

What goes around, comes around. Watch out plastics!

I think a straight swap is enough, given JOM!'s injury history. No need to throw in any level of draft pick.

Getting JOM is interesting. I hear St Kilda are not interested because they believe his body wont stand up to AFL footy. A straight would be a better deal for Gold Coast than what Hawthorn can offer, I feel sure about that. Though on Radio, this morning they said its 99% sure JOM and Mitchell will go to Hawthorn next year.

Which makes the idea of a straight swap Mitchell for JOM so much more 'delicious' - Hawthorn would miss out on both of them! ????
