#54 for Jack Steven would be the steal of the trade period.

There's every chance he produces output almost at TK levels for another 2-3 years. It's not unrealistic to think he could make an AA squad or two in his time with us, if he's fit and motivated.

If we bank 2x first rounders for TK and draft two quality youngsters - or one youngster and trade for another established player - we will be in good shape both short and long term.

Means that Taylor will likely finish up to free the cap space, or be on a lot less to continue.

Yep, he needs to start pre-season about now though to be fit enough for round one, he was pretty out of shape in the second half of the season. Good get if he can get his mind right and shed a bit of that weight.

Who have we definitely got rid of that's on big coin, or are you assuming some other players will be out? (Ablett, Taylor, ....Henderson et al)
Well given we have offered Kelly circa $800k that’s the first saving you can lock in. I think Harry will retire too so that’s ~$500k.

Scooter was reportedly on circa $450k when he signed his three year contract, too.

I imagine Steven will come on a similar sized contact to Scott Selwood. Zac Smith and Henderson would be in decent money too considering their age and both could leave. Throw in maybe Taylor and Ablett along with J Selwood and Hawkins likely dropping down the pay scale and we should have no issues with the cap. Probably trying to keep space to have a big go at Cameron next year.

All Australian Hawk would be stiff to get a pay chop.
 
Who do you like in the WAFL .... After the success of Kelly and Pickett ..id think the wafl will get a hard look this year
I saw a name that I haven't seen for a while .. Yyler Keitel ... I remember him back in his draft year thought he had a chance yet still in the wafl..

Hi Turbocat
I'm not as close to the WAFL scene as I was 4 years ago when my son was playing Colts , I also coached Year 12 then and knew a few boys who were drafted.
I'd say Marlion may pave the way for a guy like Jye Bolton who is also 27 and very talented , Horsley is a gun but too old and Schloite is also talented but I think he's lost his edginess by being overlooked several times.
Keitel was very stiff not to be drafted as an 18yo - most key talls were also kept on the shelf that year including Jack Cripps ( Paddy cousin).
Keitel is a good size , excellent set shot and has played ruck so he's versatile. He'd be 23-24 so would be worth a rookie spot as a key forward prospect to fill a need.
I'm sure there are others but as I said I'm not that close to it these days :)
