    A decent defender someone who gets a game every week and averaged 80-90 A very good defender some one who averages 90 plus no old players they should be between 22-26 this can run for a week until midnight next Sunday the 22nd

    I'd be keen to bring Cyril back to his foundation club Bama. A bit short on your requirements, but I'll bid Heath Grundy (28 and 75ppg in 2014). Plays every week with 22, 22, 20, 21, 22, 22 games per season since 2009 with an average of 76.5 during the same period For Wingard I will offer one of Grundy/Hansen/Mackenzie or Mackie and pick 53 Let me know

However I don't have a very good defender as of this moment. So I will put my best bid forward, which is 2 young decent defenders, who have potential, and a draft pick. Steven May, aged 23, 75 average last season. Last season: 4 scores over 90, high of 122. Marley Williams, aged 21. 71 average last season. Last season 3 scores over 90. Then I will also add pick 22.

    Ah Prap, you beat me to the punch - I was about to ask about Marley Williams myself!

    Hi Bandit, For Rioli I could do straight swap with MacKenzie who averaged 80.3 last year With 9 scores under 80 and 2 over a hundred. Wingard is too good for the ones you mentioned and the only reason I would let him go is because I need defenders. Happy to keep him if no one comes to the party. up to you.

    Bama, I'll do MacKenzie for Rioli if we also swap 3rd round, your 42 for my 53 I'll also do Wingard for MacKenzie and 2nd round Pick 35? Let me know

    I am very disappointed that I am not bidding on these two superstars. I have been racking my brain, trying to work out how I could do it, but its not going to work I don't think. I may throw my hat in the ring some time before the weekend.

    I agree Ant - my forward stocks seem OK so bidding on one of these two players would probably be a waste of time!

    That said, both Rioli and Wingard aren't without their risks. I was surprised to note that the oft-criticised Ty Vickery averaged only 3 ppg less than Wingard in 2014. Wingard's a much better player than that.

Let me know I'm confused as to whether this is an auction or open trade negotiations. I can increase my bid significantly, but I don't know what is happening.

Wingard's a much better player than that. Wingard played midfield a lot more in 2013 than 2014 and he also had quite a few game winning moments in 2013 that boosted his score. Leading into 2014 season, most news was reporting he would play more midfield than the year before, but he ended up pretty much only playing forward, with barely any mid time at all. He is an amazing player. Look out when he plays on ball more.

    Hi Prap, by reading the tread title the way it has been operating I presume that it is an open auction and what ever you feel is the best deal that both parties are happy with you take. I could be wrong. at this this stage I would go with bandits Mackenzie and swap of picks, but let's wait a few days there could be done more interest.

Just because I dont want to have to deal with the aftermath, and sorry bandit.. but so there is no mistakes over who is trading whom, the Mackenzie who scored 80.3 last year is not a spelunker, he is also spelt differently..

    Good journalistic practice, that one.
