With Rankine's soft tissue injuries - IF GC were prepared to look at a trade, then what I think would be fair would be pick 1 (or 2) + our pick 19 for Rankine and pick 12 (the Brisbane 1st round pick they have). It values Rankine below pick 1 and still gives us a 1st rounder. They then can take Anderson and Rowell.It would be awesome to get both players and base our midfield around brad, Matt, Rowell, Anderson for the next 8 years!.. also throwing the likes of chayce Jones and Ned mchenry into that mix.. I’ve liked the look of Jones when he’s been thrown into the centre bounces in the sanfl at times... real speed and great skills... and he’ll only get better.
But it just seems like something that GC would be more attracted to than Adelaide... they have more to offer us too when it comes to a trade.. if we had pick 1 or 2 they would be silly not to offer Rankine up for it IMO and get Rowell and Anderson instead. Rankine won’t hang around.
