Lovett would be good; Boyle or Rusling would be good; Didak would be good; Kerr or Cousins would be good - of course, we'd have to give Kozi up
Kozi to WC
Kerr to Saints
L Fish, McG to SYD for a pick
Couple picks and Fiora to Essendon for Lovett
Maguire and a pick to Collingwood for Rusling

Just FYI, The Rus will be staying. As much as I admire and respect Maguire he would have little trade value given his horrific injuries and battle to overcome same. Let's hope he does.groupie1 wrote:Lovett would be good; Boyle or Rusling would be good; Didak would be good; Kerr or Cousins would be good - of course, we'd have to give Kozi up

Personally I find it to be one of the most annoying weeks in football. AFL clubs are terrible at trading. Most of them are scared sh!tless of making a decision that will come back to bite them.
Hopefully this year with out of contract players being able to nominate for the national draft we'll see more clubs forced to trade rather than being able to hold a gun against their head.
Lets get serious here... Success does not come through trading, as shown by the 2 Grand Finalists this year... Both have only 2 or 3 players, AT MOST, that have come from other clubs and have been recylced...
Mark Thompson was correct a few weeks ago when he mused that we seem to have alot of players from other clubs, and haven't bred our own..
Personally, the only players worth trading are the outer fringe, for possibly another fringe player who may be a better fit... If we can get L. Fisher over the line for Lovett, take it, but in now way would I trade Dal, Kosi, Joey or any of our starting 18 for bits and pieces players or even draft picks...
Give Dal to the bombers for pick 5 (or whatever they have) and end up with a Jarred Oakliegh Nicholls type??!!... It is a lottery stacked against us, at best....
Trade a fringe player, fine, but draft kids with the picks we've got, and STAY AWAY from players who cant crack their senior team elsewhere... Makes no sense that they should be good enough for us...
*If we get Tim Boyle, I'll 'spew my guts' (to quote Terry Wallace)...
