Re: Surely we can get a forward off GWS
Agree we know Stkilda needs midfielders but just remember what Hawks (Pelchen) did when they set their list up
Who did they pick early Roughhead & Franklin of course.
If they could get Patton next 3 picks mids then 2 defenders they are on there way.
Hence McEvoy/Fisher are trade bait still going to be tough year but exciting if that happened.

I would think about it. Could get two top 10 picks for giving up some quality and a very good pick. Would be win win IMO. could we play Spencer as a KPB if we get Boyd?
That trade would never happen thats a massive win for us

They get a super star back they want in Fisher and in Mc Evoy a first round ruckman who is ready to go, both on their wish list and Mc Evoy should be a 10 year ruck. Bruce will walk if they can't organise a trade and really only worth a second rounder at best. They don't need more picks just good ones. They don't need Boyd a forward so would probably prefer a mid anyway so pick one not really much better than 3 anyway. They swap pretty much Mc Evoy and pick 3 for Patton then 9 and Bruce for Fisher. They win on Mac Evoy and 3 for Patton we win on Bruce and 9 for Fisher.

Why, they don't need Boyd, drop two spots and pick 9 for McEvoy and Fisher.Marcus1232 wrote:gringo wrote:maverick wrote:What about pick 3, McEvoy & Fisher for Pick 1, Pick 9 & Bruce.

Bruce could easily leave for nothing, that's the game.

Take out pick 9 from the trade and we may have a chance

Re: Surely we can get a forward off GWS
I doubt GWS would want to trade for a ruckman who struggles to win a hit out, but, you never know, funny things happen in trade week. ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Surely we can get a forward off GWS
As much as we need midfielders, I would love to get Boyd if possible

Re: Surely we can get a forward off GWS
Disagree, I think Hickey will be better than Mc Evoy in 2 years. Mc Evoy's lack of physicality at centre bounces and his tap work worries me. You can always get ruckmen, and getting Pick 1 (Boyd) or Paton for McEvoy would be a coup. If we have the opportunity to do the deal and don't, I think that is something we would regret down the track.st_Trav_ofWA wrote:i think if we trade McEvoy we will regret that decision in the next couple of years

Re: Surely we can get a forward off GWS
Agreed. We need midfielders and lots of them, but Boyd looks like a lock as a 10 year KPP, and if you are lucky you get an opportunity to get your hands on one of them only once a decade.Saint 58 wrote:As much as we need midfielders, I would love to get Boyd if possible

Clive was not that bad and recruiting has come a long way since then.
