2018 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[stevoswan]

Today would have to be one of the most boring trading days of one of (so far) the most boring trade periods for us ever!! Who have we got so far? One player FFS.....Clarke and some picks, one which we wasted on St Kilda. Two days left to do something 'meaningful'......fingers crossed but not holding breath.

Pies are cunning trading next years second because if they are short of points to match bids this year, the extra points needed come off their 2019 same round pick.

They pay for Quaynor with junk picks, if they natch F/S Kelly in the second round they won't have their 2019 second as it's been traded, points will need to come from their third.

I'd like a bid high enough for Quaynor that they run out of points and eat into their 2019 first :-)

Good pickup!

Agree it has been underwhelming trade period for us so far. I expected to have a big fish committed coming to us after the club had plans early in place to offload Hannebery. I'm speculating if it was a necessity in order to re-sign Lloyd as we don't know what his new contract deal is worth? (BTW i'm not suggesting Lloyd is on $800k!)

Collingwood are offering pick 18 & their 2019 2nd round for Beams

That's a pathetic offer considering what the Lions gave them a few years ago.

[AB Swannie]

Just spitballing but I can't see why we haven't thrown our hat into the ring for Kade Kolodjashnij. He's that defender that we've been linked to who allows Mills to move to the midfield.

I’m actually just excited we have less then 48hrs to mull over trade week of players

Then we have another 4 weeks of trading picks.........I might end up in a ward .....aaahhhhh

Wednesday, 17 October 8.30pm: NAB AFL Trade Period closes (for exchange of players).

With all this talk about Mllls playing mid next year, I'm assuming that is mainly as an inside, ball winning type? I haven't noticed that he possesses the pace to generate outside run, although I do stand to be corrected.

I'd forgotten about the extended deadline to swap picks. I doubt we'll be involved in a player trade over the next two days - there's no sign of it at the moment.

Plays like Pendlebury as a mid and he goes ok!

We're probably not in Melbourne just kicking back up in Sydney waiting for it all to end

It seems that Liz was right about Scully going cheaply due to injury concerns.

Now that the interest has wained from the pies after picking up Langdon - I wonder if jake kelly is on our radar ?

Would pick 26 suffice ?

Would he be keen ?

Almost indentical in height weight and hardness as a defender

Arguably at 84% Kelly’s disposals are more efficient

Plus he can now play left wing if need be

53 games 24yrs of age come jan 2019

Would adelaid match at $475k pa 3 or 4 year contract?

Left footed which is key for our transitions with our young Ling and Stoddart leftie HBFs emerging

Adelaide have Draft picks (as of Sunday October 14): 8, 13, 16, 21, 73, 83

Swans gave their Pick 13 to Adelaide

But we maybe able to assist with a pick 26 ? To help them get after SA draft talent and trade picks up ?

The Crows are still likely to get a deal done for Richmond small forward Tyson Stengle. With three picks inside the top 20, they could aim to trade up the draft in order (via a club such as St Kilda) to get their hands-on snaring top five South Australian draft prospects, such as Jack Lukosius, Izak Rankine and Connor Rozee. There has been talk about Jake Kelly being traded to Collingwood, but that deal may be more unlikely with Tom Langdon set to remain a Magpie.

Love your enthusiasm, AG. There's certainly a logic to your argument.

I didn't really think we needed Langdon as classy mids and medium/tall forward is where we are deficient.
Kelly isn't as good as Langdon (on 2018 form) so I'd prefer we stay away on this one

For me North were extremely competitive via their midfield

Lots of close losses and finished just behind us at 9th on the ladder

Any games I watched I enjoyed watching Norths midfield move the ball fast and forward

I’m fairly amazed by their recruitment and for me it concerns me greatly that we still have not found the defender recruit to free up jones and mills into the midfield

A team like north with those 4 midfield recruits will be very deep and definitely pushing up the ladder
