2016 trading and drafting (merged thread)

If Nankervis goes I would offer a lifeline to Zac Clark who is a free agent. He seems to cause us trouble every time we play Freo.

Really???

He's up there with Ty Vickory.....No thanks.

Mmmmm, Nup

When was the last time we didn't bring in an established player?

[robamiee]

with a day an dbit to go, towers leaving it late to decide what he is doing...unless between him and the club and they are seeing the interest, if none then he will stay...as isnt he uncontracted?

i wouldnt be surprised if we are doing a sleeper deal with a player....

[ugg]

Two years ago. We lost Malceski, Biggs and Membrey and didn't bring any established players in to replace them

[barry]

Derickx is gone. If Nanker goes, for rucks we have Tippet, Sinclair, Nainsmith and ?

Have I forgotten someone, or if we get one injury we wont have a reserves ruckman.

[crackedactor]

We could give the Hawks X Richards and take Bruest. After all we would be doing him a favour by bringing him home HAHAHA

I have been goggling AFL trade news the last 24 hours and have yet to find any mention of a club that is interested in grabbing XR?

[chuckie]

I think we will grab a player from the delisted free agents.
We seem to have done that the last few years.

Can't see us doing too much now, offload Nanks and Xav for some token pics, maybe try and horse trade up with teams needing academy/fs picks and hit the draft. We don't have any specific positional needs which is a good position to be in

We'll get a 4th ruckman in on the cheap I'd imagine

Having said that, our boys do have a habit of springing surprises on us supporters at this time of year

From Trade Talk on AFL site

ASHLEY BROWNE: Dean Towers and Toby Nankervis have yet to re-sign. Nankervis wants to cross to Richmond, while we expect Towers will stick with the Swans. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest there.

Richmond just picked up Pick 24 as part of the Prestia Deal and now have 24 & 27
Any chance we upgrade 39 and Nanka for one of those Picks ?

Would be ideal, however I get the feeling we'll end up with 46

[Ludwig]

Richmond have just traded pick 6 and their 2017 2nd rounder for Prestia and this year's pick 24. What a terrible trade for Richmond. They are complete fools. No wonder they never go anywhere. How did we only get pick 14 for a player better than Prestia? It will be interesting in seeing who is available at pick 6. I'm pretty sure that either Ainsworth or Tarranto will be there and I rate both better than Prestia.

Anyway, I hope Richmond's pick 24 or 27 is part of the Nanka trade. We should hold out till the end. Richmond always cave in.

I'd say Nanka + 39 + 52 for picks 24 and 46 would be okay. We don't need more picks, just better ones.

[waswan]

We got screwed for Mitchell.......glad to be the only ones to make Hawks look good this Trade period

Delideo has flown to GWS to talk about a move to the Giants.........Like Buddy did

because @@@@ing Mitchell would only go to the Dawks. If we could have played off a couple of teams against each other we would have (probably) come out so much better. But because footballers get to choose their destination now ......
