What will it take to get Saints pick#9....Xerri+ pick#38 or #20 +Future pick maybe?
Just wondering...Any suggestions then?

Unpopular opinion-Sometimes it’s best to do nothing if there is no trades that suit.

When you’re coming off a spoon and only have 2 decent picks in the draft, doing nothing may not be a great strategy

Another amazing trade period from them.Good deal for Freo.
Add in pick #6 to #8 and #19, and lose a player who didn't want to be there.
Good deal for Carlton.
Compensation pick for Dumont may help if he decides to leave and someone wants him...l still think he will stay.
Another amazing trade period from them.
3 very early picks to bolster their already amazing young group
or trade players that no one here wants to tradeOnly deal we can do to get more top 20 picks is to trade 2022 1st/2nd rounders
Adding pick 1 and a long term ruck/forward prospect to an already promising list would seem a fairly solid off-season?
What specifically do you want the club to do that doesn't involve gutting the draft hand next year?
or trade players that no one here wants to trade
Amazing trade period?
I don't get that tbh.
They are treading water. They've lost a previous top 5 pick who was now one of the best 5 players for another 18 year old who will hopefully be as good in 5 years.
They had their other top 10 pick regardless.
I think it's a good deal for Carlton tbh.
Would you like losing Simpkin and LDU but walk into the draft with Pick 1,4,5. At what cost of the picks makes it not amazing? They haven't offloaded a 28 year old for that pick, they are just replacing someone with 4-5 years of development.
With the large amount of decent free agents next year we could probably get away with not having as many picks.I think it would be better to invest into this year rather than next, due to our age demographic. Trading futures for decent picks this year makes sense, while keeping 2022 first.
We may still do that but currently we haven’t done much.
The was the only time he ever did that tho.Very limited sample size but yeah, 75% time on ground for a decent game stretch and whilst it probably wasn't his ideal option, no shots fired. I remember late in one game he was at the centre bounces and the opposition ruck just remained grounded and avoided X's ridiculous leap, grab ball and easy clearance.
I thought it didn't look good and it reminded me a bit of something Shane Harvey did and never played again.
Then again, I saw Anthony Stevens hedge and run away from the ball about to bounce in the middle of the MCG about 8 games into his career. 2 players were coming the other way and it was very Cale Morton like. Needless to say, he didn't get the bounce he wanted and they got an easy goal.
Goldy on the hand had two top 10 drafted ruckman in front of him and not only won the spot but they ended up being traded.

The opportunity was there we just didn't jump on it.
Why add in Simpkin? He's the reigning B&F and future captain who'll click over 100 games next year. He's way ahead of Cerra on his own.
Now, if LDU wanted to leave and we had no hope to keep him, and someone came at us with picks #4 and #5?? Or even #6 and some future draft steak knives?

Like if you want to compare what Freo is doing, we'd be trading LDU. I wouldn't be about that. I know there is difference with Cerra wanting to leave, but if anything that's better that our good younger players aren't looking to leave.Like who
