How's My Trade Value: Justin Koschitzke
Many players will have their trade values looked at in the coming weeks, maybe none of them actually go anywhere in trade week and maybe a few trade predictions actually happen after the season.
Player: Justin Koschitzke
Why their team should trade them:
They are not winning with both Riewoldt and Koschitzke, and they need to try something new. To get something of value, draft picks or players, the Saints need to give up something that has value and Koschitzke has that.
Which team would be a good fit:
Melbourne need to build a new forward line around a big key forward, Koschitzke would be perfect. He would take the role that Neitz had.
Similar trade in the past:
The Saints know all about trading a big forward, and just as Lockett and Hall brought in some useful draft picks, that is what the Saints could get in return for Koschitzke.
Another similar move from the past could be the Ottens' deal. The Tigers weren't making any progress up the ladder with Ottens so they traded him for draft picks.
Possible trade scenarios:
To St Kilda: Demons' second round pick, Clint Bartram and Lynden Dunn
To Melbourne: Justin Koschitzke
To St Kilda: Swans' first round pick, Ed Barlow and Tim Schmidt
To Sydney: Justin Koschitzke and Saints' third round pick

So If a trade like above was to happen, I'd think it would be more likely to be a later first round pick which melbourne would trade for, and they'd expect st.kilda's second round pick along with koschitzke.

Right now, Melbourne have a first round pick (1 overall) as well as a priority pick after the first round (17) and their second round pick (possibly pick 19 or 20). They should all bring in very good players, but they probably wouldn't mind sending out pick 19 as part of a package for Koschitzke.
You are correct about trading someone to get another pick to use in a trade, it would be ironic if they traded out Moloney for another pick to trade to another team for a ruckman as it was Moloney who Geelong traded to Melbourne so they could get an extra pick to send out for Ottens.
