There's been a fair bit of talk about who, if anyone, might we be targeting in this years trade period with our 3 first round picks. I do not believe we should be trading away these picks for players who will take up huge portions of our salary cap like Logan McDonald who would demand at least a million dollars a season and leave us with selection headaches around our tall forward setup with Amiss, Treacy, Jackson and Darcy to consider. Likewise we also have a strong group of midfielders, small/midsized forwards and defenders.
So with the news this week that Logan is looking to extend his tenure at Sydney who else may be an attractive and beneficial addition to our list.
I'm thinking the big name who could benefit us most may be Sam Taylor from GWS, arguably the best tall lockdown and rebound defender in the comp, sorry Alex.
Also thinking outside the box could be Shai Bolton from Richmond, LDU and Cam Zuurharr from North Melbourne or Jacob van Rooyen from Melbourne. Or we could just sit tight and see what talent develops and becomes available at the Draft because we currently do have a pretty talented list at the moment with plenty of cover in most positions. Also new draftees will place less salary cap pressure as we try to lock in our star players beyond the Tasmanian invasion of free agents.
I left out Liam Baker as early talk is that Richmond would be asking 2 first round picks which, despite his talent, is overs and we should not consider this deal
