2019 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[Blood Fever]

When is he fully fit?

He’s played 28 senior games heading into his 6th season

Fair call but he is obviously highly rated

He's got nothing around the park, a throwback to the day when ruckman weren't expected to win their own ball and provide a target up forward or cutting off opposition forays into our defensive zone. Plus constantly injured. Contract extension would have to be for a pretty low amount. Anything more would be lunacy.

Not fussed about Naismiths availability, he may be regarded by some as our No 1 ruck but he hasnt yet had a year as good as Sinclair did last year
6yrs a long time to show potential

agree 100% - does very little around the ground and not mobile enough for the current game

Just watched highlights of GWS game. We need to throw the kitchen sink at Coniglio. He would literally turn us into premiership contenders overnight. Wonder what they would want for him? First rounder + ruckman (Naismith?) ?

RFA. Your basically offering up a first rounder for him as Naismith is not worth a lot, maybe 4th rounder at best.

It’d have to be a godfather deal like Franklin. So GWS doesn’t match.

And 1 major injury away from mediocrity, minus a first rounder

[Ralph Dawg]

True, but worth a risk as we're not looking like winning anything, any time soon.

[Markwebbos]

I'm a massive fan of Coniglio. But why would he leave a team that's in contention to come to one that's rebuilding?

Lachie Neal could've gone anywhere but chose the Lions. Ultimately, everyone has their price too.

True. Tippett had his IIRC

[aardvark]

We need 2-3 A grade mids in a hurry.

Like the idea, but GWS as a matter of principle does not trade with us.

How about Kelly from Geelong???

He is exactly what we need and a lot cheeper than Cogs will cost us.

There is the small matter of wanting to go home to Perth, but if you don't ask the question you will never know!

I’m not sure he’s going to be that cheap by the end of the year. Looked great v the Pies.

[Mr Magoo]

I dont think GWS and Swans dont trade , I think it may be more a case of the swans not bothering to look at trading for players that they see as worth getting but who clearly want to go back to their home state eg Shiel , lobb , mccarthy.

I reckon there are a lot of GWS players that get traded that the swans would see more of then the melbourne clubs and who they just dont rate.

Therefore there are few that fit the profile of someone they want and who dont want to leave Sydney anyway.
