2019 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[S.S. Bleeder]

A thought...

Papley goes to Carlton for there first pick say pick 8. Which we trade for Daniher

Jones goes for an early second round pick then we combine that with our 2nd rounder and trade for a first round pick. Which then gets traded for Moore

We use our first round pick and next year's for Cogniglio

So Daniher, Cogniglio and Moore come into our side looks exciting

You're showing a lot of faith in our medicos there Cain. Personally I don't want either of Moore and Danniher. We need players who can get on the ground. I'd love Cogs, but it's either GWS or a Melbourne club.

Inventive yes, likely no.

One of the three may have an interest in coming to us but will be way too expensive this year.

Papley and Jones are more likely to stay than go, particularly the former who is being talked about as a trade by the media on the strength of his girlfriend being in Melbourne, nothing to see here.

If only it worked like that

[Ruck'n'Roll]

Swans recruitment should go back in history and learn from our tried and tested premiership-winning formula of recruiting fringe players from other clubs like Ted Richards, Mumford, Josh Kennedy, McGlynn, Mattner, Jolly etc. that turned into gems.

Very succinctly put - the point has assuredly been made previously, but absolutely worth repeating

[royboy42]

I think we don’t expect people to get Hannabarry right every time, but we expect to see Honeybeary at least 30 times a week

No, No. I still have Tadgh Keneally nightmares. I got it right eventually, but now can't remember what's right.

We need to keep Jones and Paps doing that will be a win in the offseason
We wont get anywhere near what they are worth at the trade table

Yeh great trade. Conoiglio has the Hawthorn knee and the other 2 are injury prone.

Has anyone seen any actual evidence to suggest there is strong validity to the Papley trade claims? Been thrown around a lot, but I've seen nothing to strongly suggest it is actually true (Maybe I've just missed it).

Well put.

[Markwebbos]

There’s a few players floating around we could go after including:

Constable (Cats)
Newnes (Saints)
Wood (Norf)
Anyone at Adelaide
A plethora of ruckman
Tomlinson (Giants)
Lions NEAFL side

Who if any of these should we be going after?

I agree, these two have become important to us and I suspect they'll both become top-tier players in their respective positions. We must hold on to them.

Looking like a very active trade period with a lot of big names possibly on the move. The attention at first will be focused on players like Grundy, Coniglio, Tim Kelly, Hill brothers, Ed Langdon, Jack Martin.

Constable (Cats): Deserves a serious look. Worth throwing our hat into the ring. Uncertain where things lie and probably not much will happen until Geelong are out of finals.
Newnes (Saints): He seems to be just another depth player. Maybe not much better than Clarke.
Wood (Norf): An interesting player who hasn't lived up to potential. May be due to numerous injuries. Not a priority.
Anyone at Adelaide: So many, hard to mention. If Papley goes, may be worth a play for Eddie Betts. I wouldn't chase the Crouch brothers or any of their midfielders.
A plethora of ruckman: We need to unload a ruckman, not recruit another one. We shouldn't take away Naismith's reason for living.
Tomlinson (Giants): May be on the move, but likely to a Melbourne club.
Lions NEAFL side : Yes! Lots of good pickings here. Interesting the connection to the 2013 draft:

Pick 32: George Hewett
Pick 33: Bris: Tom Cutler
Pick 34: Bris: Nick Robertson
Pick 35: Nankervis

Cutler and Robertson are both good players, with size, pace and physicality and should fit well on our list. They are both out of contract and not getting senior games this year. Cutler at the top of my list, with Robertson not far behind. Our 3rd rounder in the early 40s could make it happen for one of them.

Cedric Cox is another player who might be available. In contract, but not getting senior games after 3 years. Has talent, but not seeming to make progress at the club.

I won't feel bad raiding Brisbane now that they're at the top of the ladder.

A lot more names should become public next week.

Another Lion I'm interested in is Josh Walker. Fills a gap in our KPD stocks, only not getting a game due to Marcus Adams coming in. Would also be cheap

[waswan]

No one available to us is anywhere near Paps and Jones

With spare cash it could be a good year to rob from a team with a tight salary cap
Crouch, either one
Oliver Brayshaw
Hartlett, Wines
Hopper

Would like to get Langdon for Cameron from GWS

Walker is a good KPP depth player, who can fill in at both ends of the ground. I'm reluctant to go after a KPP this year before we resolve the futures of Maibaum, Pink and Amartey. All look reasonable young prospects who haven't yet had a crack a senior footy. I think we can get through 2020 okay with our KPP stocks, so long as Buddy plays, as well as Aliir and Rampe staying off the injury list. McCartin looks set for defensive role and will compete for Melican for a key role alongside Aliir and Rampe.
