Im putting a player up for auction. Former AFL #4 draft pick, Jimmy Toumpas, midfielder from Port Adelaide. Just 22 years old, in his 4th season of AFL, now back home in SA. I'm not sure what I want. Probably a draft pick, OR a 24-25 yo defender, would get the deal done. More likely a draft pick. Auction closes midnight on Saturday 13th, Melb time.
Infact, my apologies Fitzy, I am going to withdraw this bid. I've rebuilt an older sputtering backline over the past 18 months and I should show some faith in my work rather than trading poor Ibbotson away. For now I might show some restraint. Lets see how that goes. Thanks though.
Fitzy.......do you like to gamble? I'll offer Cam (Sunshine) McCarthy, together with the 1st pick in the 3rd Rd of the PSD (#37) and the 1st pick in the 4th RD of the PSD (#56) for your two picks - #12 & #18. Sunshine as we all know kicked 35 goals in his rookie year, one of the highest tallies of all time in a first season, but is now on hiatus in WA for a while - cos he's homesick. He may sit out the year & will then get traded to Freo to take over from Pav, he may come to his senses & come back to GWS & play the year.....who the f%$# knows, I dont......that's the gamble. The ONLY reason I am offering up this kid - I have 11 Forwards. I love Sunshine.
Hey snoz, love a gamble, and don't mind Sunshine, but still prefer Lens offer as Yeo is more of a proven player who I see as providing more improvement to my starting side than McCarthy would, thanks though
Something a bit left field for you to consider Fitzy. I'll offer Cale Hooker (27 yo, 90 avg, top 10 Defender now D/F) who is suspended this season, and 3rd and 4th round 2016 PSD picks 43 & 63, OR Hooker plus my round 1 2016 MSD pick All comes down to if you see your premiership window this season or next
Hey Bandit, if Hooker wasn't banned that'd be well worth considering, but am looking for immediate improvement, also rate pick 28 over 43+63/MSD Thanks though
Auctions ending in a few hours... Len leading the way for the picks with the bid of E.Yeo and PSD #28, reserve on Liam Picken has not been met yet.
Fitzy, I am interested in making an offer for your picks numbers 12 and 18 in the PSD. I assume you are looking for secure scoring in the next few years from a genuine defender; someone who will be listed a D in subsequent years. Step up Mr H Taylor - a dual premiership and dual All Australian defender / ultimate swing man. Harry keeps himself in great shape (so younger than his 29 years) which leads to great durability. He has played 21 games in each of the last 5 seasons and 20 games in 2010. Because it is you, and I am generous, I'll add in my second and fourth round PSD picks (numbers 32 and 68). OTY as they say.
Not bad Graeme, not bad at all, he's a reliable scorer and sure to be a DEF for rest of his career, however as durable as he may be I just feel he's getting to the stage of his career where his scoring goes backwards a little, as it has the past few years, I just think Yeo has a better scoring potential in 2016 , I guess its a 50/50 whether he'll be a sole MID in 2017 but for now I think I'm going to take my chances. Feel free to rub it in if this choice backfires haha, thanks for the offer! Still have Len ahead with an hour and a half to go.
Due to having 12 Mids and 11 Fwds - and no bloody Defense, I am putting up for auction two of my young guys. Two separate auctions........I'm looking for defenders or draft picks only. 1. FWD Mitch Honeychurch, Bulldogs - 21 yrs old. Played 3 games in 2014 at 45 ave and 10 games last year at a 58 ave. Right now sits in the top 25 at the Western Bulldogs after being blooded last year for 10 games with hopes to further establish himself this year. 2. MID Adam Oxley, Magpies - 23 yrs old. Played 3 games in 2013 only to sit out all of 2014 with an ankle injury. Last year he cemented his spot in the Pies side and played 17 games at an SC average of 77 off the half back flank & center. Lost his DEF status for some %$## bloody reason. Both auctions to close Monday 15th at 6.30pm my time (10.30 am Tuesday 16th back in Oz)
I am also going to put up for auction a guy I never thought I would part with....... Cam Sunshine McCarthy In his first year with GWS, he averaged 53sc over 20 games AND kicked 35 goals.....as a KPF at all of 20 years old. Most will know that he has run back to WA for a while, having a sook about missing home. He may return to GWS soon & play the year out (that's my guess) or he may sit out the year - but he will nearly be guaranteed to be replacing Pav at Freo next year. I think he'll go BANG then - but I just have too many FWDs. Same terms as the above two auctions.
Reserve met Bandit, thanks. A little long in the tooth is Grundy, but a 75ave DEF who plays every week.
