Nothing wrong at all in getting in potential stars as long as they have 10 years left in the game. Bennell for pick 5 would be fantastic aswould any player similar to that. Trading away picks isn't a problem.

Prefer not to trade pick 5 for Bennell, we can't afford mistakes and there are too many question marks with himplugger66 wrote:Long Term Injury wrote:Times two: our recruiting of young fringe players has been outstanding the last few years - add to the list Hickey, Savage, ROberton, Membrey (who I rate), Weller, and maybe Delaney comes good.sasaint wrote:Agree.

Re: Recruiting deck chairs on the good ship, St Kilda
Speaking of recruitment can someone help me out.
The media seem to be reporting that both Treloar and Aish are going to Collingwood.
According to a poster on here, Crozier is also keen on the Pies.
Now firstly this proves the Pies have a competitive advantage in recruitment - mainly because they are the Pies and play in front of big crowds week in week out, but also I would suggest because of their training venue.
But that isnt why I am confused.
How can they get both Treloar and Aish (which media is suggesting)? I cant see how this is possible?
Or does this mean Trelor to Tigers and Aish to Pies? Obviously both are worth a first round pick.
Appreciate someone setting me straight on this.
If the Pies end up with Treloar and Aish I will absolutely spew.
This means they will have those two + Adams + Moore + Scharenberg + Freeman + De Goey.

Re: Recruiting deck chairs on the good ship, St Kilda
I have heard a rumour Cloke is going and they have a first rounder in mind for him which will go to picking up Aish or perhaps a direct swap. Seriously think they are probably paying something outside the cap though too.

Re: Recruiting deck chairs on the good ship, St Kilda
Interesting. Thanks. So they could pay two first rounders for Treloar and then a 2nd rounder + Cloke for Aish? Which mean the pies wont have a high pick until the 2nd round next year?
Something like that?
So the Lions would end up with pick 2,19,25 + Cloke for this year. Plus then see what happens with Martin and Leunberger?

Cloke will be 29 next season.... no team doing a re-build will want himOld Mate wrote:Cloke?gringo wrote:I have heard a rumour Cloke is going and they have a first rounder in mind for him which will go to picking up Aish or perhaps a direct swap.

The guy cannot kick for goal... his best footy is likely behind him...
So.. who would pay a big price for him?
I just dont see it..
He is worth early 2nd round IMO... but there is no-one at that type of pick who would want him
So.. I agree with Con.. pies cant possibly land Aish + Treloar...
well. maybe by giving 1st and 2nd rounders from this year and next year each of them
(and what is their 1st rounder from 2016 worth? they will anticipate going up the ladder... so they will probably think trading out that pick will be advantageous because it may only be pick 14 or so.. just cant see how pick 14 gets you Aish..?)
