Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
OK, I think some wires are getting crossed here.
Under the new NGA rules, the Saints can't match any bid in the first 20 picks, regardless of matching point etc. So our pick 20 is the first pick they can be selected at and matched. What I'm proposing is the saints getting a player before the bids, plus getting extra picks plus points to avoid a deficit next year.
Moving from pick 9 to 20 does nothing to compromise their ability to match NGA bids, and ensures they still get a player and can match.
This makes no sense.
North had Pick 11, right?
Crows bid on Tarryn at Pick 8.. which would have meant we had to use Pick 11...
True, throwing Xerri in to a similar deal would've made sense.
I guess it would depend on the saints rolling the dice on their NGA players. Any bid between 20-25 would put them into deficit next year.

We can take 3 picks and not delist any of our 4 uncontracted guys.So how many list spots do we have available for the draft as it stands?
the mentality is instead of trading 11 for Polec we should have traded 11+ something else to get ahead of the bid. That way we could have had Bailey smith for example as well as Thomas.
saints don’t need to worry here, they will take a top 10 pick without having to even worry about their nga prospects until later
We need to delist one to ensure we take our 4 picks inside 47So how many list spots do we have available for the draft as it stands?
I really think we will use the SSP period.We need to delist one to ensure we take our 4 picks inside 47
then if we take dfa/psd/rookie pick 1 then another goes
in summary Campbell is cooked
then 1 of Atley/Dumont/ham will probably go
Edwards might do a Corey McKernan and put on 10kg in a pre-season. Not saying it will happen but Corey proved that it can be done. I proved that it can be done in a week thanks to Pizzeria di Ciccios.In a year or two I can see X and CJ taking over while Edwards is learning his trade.
including lynch coming in?We need to delist one to ensure we take our 4 picks inside 47

Sounds like we'll be running CCJ and Goldy similar to Jackson/Gawn style.

Gonna suck for Xerri being stuck in VFL watching on.
Surely we keep Ham for another 12 months.I can share the working if people want to see it, but currently our available list spots are:
Senior List: 5
Rookie List: 2
Cat B: 1
Currently out of contract:
- Trent Dumont
- Shaun Atley
- Tom Campbell
- Charlie Ham
My best guess is we take Picks 1, 20, 42 and 47 to the draft. Leave a list spot free to evaulate DFA/PSD options, similar to what was done with Skinner and Appleby last year, then move Dumont to the rookie list. Whether the second rookie spot is used to draft a player, add Tom Lynch, or to bring back Atley/Campbell/Ham is the toughest decision.
Marshal's got lots of injury worries.He'd have been stuck in the VFL at St Kilda behind Marshall & Ryder anyway. 2022 he will be waiting on an injury at either club. Goldy & Ryder are both getting on in years, wouldn't be unrealistic to expect he'd get exposure through these guys getting injured at either club.
Nopeincluding lynch coming in?
Surely we keep Ham for another 12 months.
I defy anyone to fairly evaluate how he will perform after zero games in only 6 months on the list.
Yes you get your wish, and rightfully so now we’ve kept X.We need to delist one to ensure we take our 4 picks inside 47
then if we take dfa/psd/rookie pick 1 then another goes

Their kids aren't getting top 20 bids, so it's irrelevant.
They have enough points as it is, they move from 9 to 20...
It's a terrible deal for them.
Eh, I disagree. In my opinion it makes sense for them to drop back from 9 to 20 in this draft as they don't have enough points to match the projected bids in the 20's. But in the end its a hypothetical and likely won't happen so arguing about it on here is pointless.yeh nah you are missing the point.
why slide from 9 to 20 when not one of your players is set to go inside the top 25 picks.
