I think you are close to the mark.WinnersOnly wrote:I wonder with all this banter if we have missed the obvious?
Perhaps the trade is actually Petracca for Boyd?
Remember how keen we were on Boyd last year & GWS are more likely to release him than other mentioned players. Plus the have a number of other full forward options at the club, plus they get to keep pick 4 for Wright.
Fair trade that would suit both clubs...
If they don't want to trade fine. Ball is in their court.WinnersOnly wrote:Bunk your intentions to get the best for the club are great, but I think some of the suggested trades are pretty unrealistic. The club rated Boyd as once in a decade forward and if Petracca was in last years draft he probably be anywhere between 4 -6. If we could get Boyd in a swap it doesnt mean there couldnt be other arrangements in play - like letting Jaksch, ORourke or Frost slide through to the pre season draft? For me just getting Boyd for Petracca would be a win but if the club can extract more than all the better!
Please avoid the use of "trade and Ball" near one another as it gives me 2009 flashbacks and I am just starting to heal and don't want a relapse!Bunk_Moreland wrote:If they don't want to trade fine.

I think comparing Boyd to Petracca is a bit moot. It is the perceived value of Petracca to the GWS team that is in question.
If they really want him, don't offer us s***.
Otherwise we keep #1 and take Petracca.
We don't have to do a thing. As I said ball is in GWS court.
Cockatoo is 18 in October so can be drafted this year. Knightmare on Big Footy has him going in the 60's in his Phantom Draft.Con Gorozidis wrote:I know these kids are too young for this year - but Cockatoo sounds like a real prospect for next year.

After Trades...
GWS - Petracca
MEL - Brayshaw + Durdin
STK - McCartin
COL - Ahern
WBD - Wright
CAR - Goddard
GCS - Laverde
COL - Moore
So if it's a big, big trade from GWS I think one of: Cameron / Boyd / Whitefield. Go Saints!
JOR or Jasch don't count as a "big, big trade" in my opinion. So one of the 3 I mentioned must be in contention.Ghost Like wrote:Fingers crossed!!!SaintWodonga wrote:Now she's saying:

The Run Home@TheRunHome
Inside Footy's @BrettAndersonIF says there's a good chance Jaksch and O'Rourke from GWS will end up at the Saints in a deal involving Pick 1
but she also says we take McCartin????????????Con Gorozidis wrote:Paige Cardona totally knows what shes talking about.
Agree that Jakshe and JO'R DO NOT count as 'big big'.
This has to be a Cameron or Boyd!
Gee whizz. Im excited now.
