Hot Topic Harley Reid v Draft - Win-win?

[ghostdog]

I'm not even really entertaining it if we don't think it'll trigger band one. Draper or pick 20, I'm upping my offer and attempting to keep Draper.

I'm reserving judgment. It's a long season, but his improvement has looked promising so far.

 

[naraku]

I would too, but he won't be going anywhere; least of all from a now ascendant team to one lost in the wilderness.

Agreed.

I'm not sure what all the Rowell talk is anyway. He met the wrong Scott and GC seem to finally be on the right path.

 

[Westlo]

Pretty sure Rowell will sign on until the point he can become a free agent.

if perryman is getting 900k and 6 years as a free agent i'm sure rowell can fleece collingwood or whoever for 1.5m a season at 7.

I know he’s not a spud but **** me he’s currently a spud.

Second rounder and Ricky Dyson. Sold.

He's doing the player equivalent of tanking - 2nd rounder with a 3rd coming back!

 

[Unfazed]

Can we get Archer instead?

 

[rumply]

What's his role atm anyway? Whole thing is weird.

Why are West Coast playing Reid back?

He is a midfielder and what better learnings than playing on Cripps?

Missed too much pre season and is not fit enough to run the midfield all game.

 

[Happyskeret]

Second rounder and Ricky Dyson. Sold.

We need Ricky Dyson to train our kids. He has a higher calling.

Hes always been a Hodge type prospect. True utility.

Tom Morris reckons Reid is gettable this year for the right price (3 first round picks, 2 of which are top 10s).

As in the picks that will become 13, 14 and 25 after bid matching?

That's a difficult decision, but I'd lean towards doing the deal for Reid if he requests a trade to us. Still have two seconds.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

3 first rounders for Harley and Archer

 

[doug85]

That's a difficult decision, but I'd lean towards doing the deal for Reid if he requests a trade to us. Still have two seconds.

I’d probably do it if Reid requests to come to us.

If Draper goes then I’d like to keep 1 pick in the first round and give up an F1.

would be a great return.
As would Willem Duursma, nhh and the rest of the possible bounty

 

[hurlygurdy]

My upper limit would be the equivalent of pick 8, 9, 16. Got to draw a line somewhere

We're not getting Worpel. Same boat as Rowell. There's no reason for a player of that value to leave an ascendant team for one in the wilderness.

Also not sure he's our guy.

Worpel...
It's a no from me. I don't see what he adds to our team that we already don't have.

 

[ghostdog]

Hasn't McClure said Reid's defo not interested in EFC? I know it's McClure, but you know, smoke/fire. So, not really interested then...

 

[ant555]

Worpel...
It's a no from me. I don't see what he adds to our team that we already don't have.

He does not seem an obvious fit for what we need but he is a good sized hard inside midfielder. I would not be saying no to looking at him as a FA but I do get he is another inside midfielder who has some kicking issues and really only plays midfield. Unlike most I am totally off Tsatas. I just do not see him ever having the want to play the full physical game of an inside midfielder. That leaves Hobbs and I think Worpel is better than Hobbs as far as running ability and of course size.
Worpel is not on my must have list but I can see where he could fit into the side myself. Being a FA helps. No need to spend draft capitol.

I will add that if Draper decides to go then Worpel as a FA is far less appealing.

 

[Beerfish]

Feels like a win/win situation for us. If he wants to come to us, great. If he doesn't then we keep our picks, also great.

Maybe that should be a great/great situation.
