WXV Trade Talk

[RaisyDaisy]

Just looking at that list Rico. Sheeesh, it's going to take years before NDT can be competitive.

I think that needs to be changed. WXV is for fun - it's not real life or anything and being coaches of a team that is poor and barely ever wins shouldn't really exist IMO.

It's going to take years of priority picks to fix that side, and that cant be much fun for Rico and the other coaches who barely ever win a game simply because their lists are so shot

Just a reminder the trade window will commence straight after Sunday Round 23.

Think you should decide on any rule changes before trading begins, that could be organized now though

Beijing and Pacific were in bad spots and have improved quickly, think it will take longer for New Delhi though. A couple of dud picks (sorry guys) have slowed down improvement though

Dont forget we've been missing most of our starters for a large chunk of the year

have a look at this team from 2012 and see if you think in two years time it could have won a flag.

S.D. Thompson, N.Grima, N.Malceski, R.Schoenemakers
D.Thomas, D.Mundy, M.Barlow, C.Ward
S.Mumford
S.Day, L.Hansen, A.Hams, J.Walker
J.Caddy, S.Atley

That team is 100 times better than NDT is right now

Love the optimism, and hope you do man but I just cant see it happening. That backline and forward line is not SC friendly at all lol

Garlett and Nankervis were the guys I was thinking of, but I have hindsight

strongly disagree with you there. I could put a good case that NDT is stronger list than Dublin 2012.

Gaff 23 years old and averaging 105
Coniglio 22 a first round pick going mid 90s.
Masten 26 a solid mid 90s player
Conca 23 another mid 90s player
Heeney looked real good and definately a very bright future

thats a pretty decent mid core to build around. Perhaps more fire power in the 2012 team but this has much more potential

Nicholls is a good young ruck only 23 years old and was averaging 90 before getting injured in one game hurting his average.
Zach Clarke future ruck of Freo and a number of good young prosepcts.

I would say they have a top 5 in the comp ruckline. Much much better than Mumford than nobody

Stevens 24 - 87 average forward
Darling 23 - 83 average forward

given they have Clarke who is decent and guys like Mcartin the forward line is much much better than the 2012 team.

The defence certainly is the weak point and probably an argument for Dublin 2012 but they certainly have lots and lots of talent with the rest of their list. Add in two top 3 picks and they should turn it around if they are good coaches (which they are).

Garlett and Nankervis were the guys I was thinking of, but I have hindsight

Nankervis is still a good prosepct in a team that will soon have a ruck spot wide open. I probably would have taken Dunstan but i cant fault the Nakervis pick at all.

Mccartin I think will prove to be the bad choice. Would have gone with more Degoey or Laverde.

[RaisyDaisy]

I already said it was their defense and forwards which is shot - their mids and Nicholls has a future

Stevens wont be a forward moving forward, so it's Darling and nobody else and no one down back

Dublin team is miles ahead

I just hope for the sake of the comp they have a really successful trade period, because having every team compete should be the goal

[elephants]

Haha I know you're not trying to, but Christ these attacks on NDT are harsh.

how though Dublin's forward line was far far worse. Darling alone is better than the whole forward list combined.

[meow meow]

NDT could sacrifice their youth, trade hard and make the 8 next year but maybe they're playing the long game. There's lots of quality young talent there and they've got lots and lots of football to go, while teams that trade top 10 picks for has beens with one year left get leapfrogged when their competitive oldies move on.

[Toga]

This time last year we were pretty concerned about Beijing's future and thought we'd be staring at another close-to-bottom finish this year. But a lot of improvement from our younger blokes plus a couple of trades that have worked out well for us has the team sitting much nicer than we expected this year.

You never know with NDT improvement could be just around the corner!
