OFFICIAL - trade rumours/wishlist thread

[peter lockwood]

Mattner would be a good pickup hes only 25 hard and has a bit of toe.I would really like us to draft a KPB,fast midfielders and a ruckman.Then in trades go for the likes of Mattner,Meeson-Wood and then Krakouer.

Some interesting comments on Simon Godfrey in the Sun this morning.

26 years old and has been delisted from Melbourne.


Has poor kicking skills, but is as tough as nails and could play the Powell/Keogh role very well for us.

Is quite a good tagger, and would add a physical defensive edge to our team that will be missing with Baker out for 5 weeks and Attard for the season.

Not sure we need another poor kick in our side and when they say godfrey is a poor kick they are not wrong. He is really bad and with RL game plan I am not sure turnovers are good.

If the GT era taught us one thing.... is that you would have to think long and hard about recruiting any player REJECTED by another club.......for there is normallya very valid reason for it.




Like Powell, more recently Attard, there are always some exceptions...but it is very low % play....when there are so many other untried players about.

Godfrey is 26...so you would think is time is past.

[Oh When the Saints]

Advantages
1. Cost nothing - probably minimum wage
2. Is experienced and has proven he can tag at AFL level - played some great footy over the last couple of years
3. Has 3-4 years in him (around 60-70 games)
4. Will give us the defensive edge/tagger we need in Baker and Attard's absence; can protect our onballers
5. Is tough-as-nails and gives 110% every time he takes the field

Disadvantages
1. Average kicking skills, although his kicking is no worse than Powell's in his last two seasons with us
2. Struggles to win a lot of the footy at times
3. Delisted at the age of 26 when he should be in his prime



Basically IMO he provides better depth on our list than we have currently from players 30-38.

[Batnoe]

I would take a Godfrey, he isnt too bad


Was the fittest player at the Demons, i think they will miss him


Other players to ponder....from Brisbane, just spoke to someone and they said these players are on the chopping block

Cameron Wood, Beau McDonald, Ben Fixter, and Matt Moody

I would take Moody, they picked him up with our pick we traded them for Gram


Also need a ruckmen if we cant get Jolly or Seaby, we should give 80k to McDonald

[Oh When the Saints]

Would definitely look at Moody ... he played some great footy in '06 for the Lions and would provide some valuable run for us.

Beau McDonald is another Michael Rix ...


Wins hitouts but is absolutely useless around the ground. Very injury prone and a poor tap ruckman anyway.

Would give us less value than using Blake in the ruck every week.

[True Blue Sainter]

Would definitely make a play for Moody. As mentioned in a few previous threads, can provide a lot of run and has played some great senior footy already! Does anyone else think Ben Fixter is worth a spot? For depth obviously, but a handy small backman who can do a defensive job up the field as well?

[Batnoe]

They were the players that he said wanted out, not that the club wanted to trade them. Rischetelli and Stiller taking too many spots for away from Fixter and Moody


Moody is very quick, could be another Joey!!!

[n1ck]

Moody doesnt take a backwards step either. Would be a very very handy pickup if we could do a deal.

[Batnoe]

If most are willing to trade Primsall for pick 9


Just imagine what other players we could pick up.


first round pick, you could almost get a top 10 in any club....

why go for a player who only played 4 games., yes he is good but not worthy of pick 9


I think Priddis would be worthy of that spot

Saints get Priddis and Eagles 1st round

Eagles get pick 9 and Steven Baker

[Sam23]

Moody is s***, will be delisted from the Brions this year.

Wouldnt think Baker would be on the possible trades list, I for 0ne would be very disappointed to see him go.

what don't you like about Priddis Rex?

[woooosaints]

there is no way eagles would trade priddis for baker and pick 9 baker isnt a required player for them and if judd leaves they need all the star onballers they can have and priddis is a star

[True Blue Sainter]

I never said that it was a realistic trade ... If it was offered to us, I would take it in a heartbeat, but it won't happen.

[n1ck]

i wouldnt do a deal for priddis for bakes and #9.

thats ludicrous.

i like priddis, but theres no way hes worth our first pick AND Stevie Baker.

[Batnoe]

We then get their first round pick

so we just go back 6 places in the first round, so it is a swap for Baker and Priddis and our first round picks


WC, can pick up a good player with pick 9 and Baker isnt contracted just yet

[Saints94]

Anyone thought of Leigh Harding - Kangaroos - Did his knee training before last round and hasnt played this year but was named as emergency this week.
He is a goal kicking FP/HFF and can get the ball.

Problem would be him overcoming his knee and he is 26 ?

he is in accurate

[Solar]

with the judd trade opening the whole trade scene up could geelong be looking for a first round pick to get judd?

Our pick 9 for prismall and king

2 first round picks and corey for judd?

[borderbarry]

My wish is that we use our draft picks wisely for a change.
No9. Alex Rance W.A., 194cm. Best junior CHF FB in the country. If gone by then, Cyril Rioli, give us some real pace on the forward line and mid field.
No.26. Best young ruckman available.
No.42. Mid-field if we picked up Rance, or best CHF?FB available if Rioili taken at 9..
No.58. utility.

If we managed to Trade one of our players for a 2nd or 3rd round pick, I would stick to the same format, just have a better selection for those picks.
I would look to take another ruckman, midfielder, and utility type in the rookie draft.

Would love to get Chick and Godfrey. Very good players maybe a 2nd or 3rd rounder. If we can not get them chase Moody. Couldnt get a regular game for the Lions but a star in the making.

1 Kings gone he's over the hill

2. What this I keep hearing about pick 9 and prismall? he's 21 and only played like 8 games what makes him so good?
