Marchbank & Ahern

[BigMart]

What is the contract status of these two... who are not getting a game, yet were drafted two years ago as FRDPs

Marchbank is that 3rd tall we need to replace Sean
Ahern is another to add to the middle who can use it well

out of 2013 that would give us
3 - Billings, 10 - Freeman, 18 - Dunstan, 19 - Acres, Rookie - Templeton

and 2014
1 - McCartin, 6 - Marchbank, 12 - Ahern, 21 - Goddard, 22 - McKenzie, 41 - Lonie, Rookie - Sinclair

2015


Thats 14 players from 2 drafts

to combine with
Hickey, Membrey, Ross, Carlisle, Weller, Bruce, Newnes, Steven, Savage, Webster, Pierce

+
17 - Gresham, Rice , O'Kearney & White

and i'd look at Tomlinson

In my mind the delisted are
Saunders, Curran, Shenton,
Big decisions around
Gilbert, Lee, Minchington, Longer, Murdoch, Wright
one more to delist
possibly 2 for trade

Looks good to me in principle... All about what it takes to get them in the door, both for a third rounder and I'd go for - though not sure they would. But I do like the logic of the move and agree with those to be moved on or in doubt

Marchbank was GWS starting 22 before injury, wasn't he? There's a lot of buzz about him, in various press we're usually the first club linked to him, but the Pies are keen too from what I've read...hard to out-trade Collingwood unfortunately, although they're not looking that great right now (will improve with some returning players).

Pies will struggle at the trade table this year - they've already given away the pick we gave for Freeman, and their first rounder for Treloar, as well as a couple of father sons they'll need points for.

Ahern is really highly rated at GWS, and Marchbank is certainly a required player. I'd think we'd need to hand over our first pick to get them both, maybe with GWS 2nd pick coming back.

Very true, I forgot that. They may be happy to offload some midfield depth, but they're building bonfires out of spare elite midfielders at GWS.

I'd like to see us use that top pick this time, I've got the jitters after Carlisle (although required). If we do move it on I'd prefer to see it with GC as part of a Prestia trade.

I think Prestia is a bit more of what we've got plenty of

Short mids
Steven, Dunstan, Gresham, Sinclair, Michington, Billings, Templeton, Ross, Armo

We need a utility back

And we need a taller mid imo

You'd move him pretty close to the top of that lot straight away, sharp around goals too. We'd be better off chasing him than JoM, surely?

[Con Gorozidis]

Both have had injury issues.
No evidence they are not wanted by GWS at this stage.

[Playon]

Well both Marchbank and Steele are out of contract
But were not the only ones looking

We'd be doing pretty well if we could get both Marchbank and Steele
