Im changing my tune I think since 9 and 13 got massive overs the chance we get another first rounder for a half-decent price has completely gone. Just stick with 7 & 8 on draft night I'd even consider trading 8 out if it meant we get overs like Richmond F1 or two firsts for a slide back. I think 8 is surplus we won't get the mid we want at that pick so lets maximise value.
 
Not even close. We gave up basically Pick 10, a second and Acres. Still a lot but not two picks in a "super draft"
2001 was the best draft of all time. Give yourself picks 13 and 14 in that draft and if you absolutely nail it, you come away with Dal Santo (13) and Stevie J (24).

It's more likely that you only come away with only one of them, and it's not all that unlikely that you walk away with Ashley Watson (14) and Barry Brooks (15).

Bolton is a guaranteed gun who is only coming into his prime now. He's the icing, he will be a far better player now that he'll have good players around him again.
 
Some absolutely baffling trades being done so far, if we were dealing like that I'd be pissed.

So far at least we've shown we are comfortable to walk when it makes sense, offering what we are willing to pay and not being pressured to overpay. Hopefully it stays that way. Even if we hit the draft with what we have right now I'd be happy.

Players like Macrae are a 'nice to have' but I'm not losing any sleep over missing out if other clubs don't want to play ball. Hopefully we stick to our guns.

Then use the F3 for Mrs Soldo with Soldo thrown in as steak knives and we win trade week.
Echoing Hanna's thoughts on Kemp from the other day, I'd like to think we could do a lot better with our F3 than Soldo's scrubber.

Mutton dressed as lamb.
 
F1 for 18 and 23?

More realistic.

Give 32 for McCrae and get a late pick back

7, 8, 18, 23
F1 and F2 and 8 for 6 and 14

Gives us 6+7+14+32+45

6 and 7 gives us to excellent top quality mids, 14 a slider from the top ten, 32 comes in to 28 and a decent pick, then the NGA's and FS
 
So if we are to target a Richmond pick which do we go after of - 1, 6, 10, 11,18, 20, 23, 24.

What #8 for #11 & 20?
If they only want future picks our F1st & F2nd for #10?

Or do we just wait until draft night and hope GWS's hard on for Travaglia grows or Richmond want to get ahead of Melbourne's pick #9.

Very much enjoying razzing the Eagles fans atm. Clients trying to justify the pick 3 shenanigans to me yesterday, had to remind them what happened last time they did a pick-split 😈
When you say clients, do they pay by half hour or hour?

Agree, unfortunately I think there's no way Richmond do the deal with us knowing we are after the same type of players.

I think our best option would be Pick best mid at 7 and then tolerate a slide for overs at 8, if we could squeeze another first rounder for next year for a small slide that would be ideal.
 
Cool Richmond have heaps of picks. They will also be a basket case next year and for who knows how long.
unlike us, when GWS and Goldcoast came in, they have front loaded all young picks, so that when Tasmaania come in, they won't care.

I like what Richmond have done, they know they're no where near the premiership window so they have loaded up for the future. I wish we did that in the past where we have been in a bottom half-middling team.
We bottomed just as two clubs came in and compromised the draft for years.

Richmond have bottomed 2 years before hand and used their capital well to get in front of the compromised drafts for Tassie.

We have been doing that for the past three drafts and will do so again.
 
32 for Macrae.
45 for Kemp.

Take them or we walk and use the points on Peckett and Cole then use 7 and 8 on some guns.

Easy done.

As much as id like to get Macrae, 47 seemed a little low and we might have looked shit, if we offer 32 and Power says no, thats fine, he can look like a campaigner (hes also likely to end up holding his dick with Daniel, Smith and Macrae if he keeps his shit up).

Pick 32 will probably come in to be pick 29.

I’d rather take that pick to the draft. There will be some very good players available at that pick.

They are absolutely cashing in off desperate clubs who seem motivated to throw huge amounts of draft capital at anything that moves.

I feel like we wouldn't have had that opportunity if we tried it at the time. These past few seasons feel totally different. Current day Gold Coast walks into a car yard, lets the salesman talk them into which car they should buy and then pays sticker price. Probably all thanks to the AFL being so generous that they really don't need to care about being savvy. That doesn't excuse the WA teams for their questionable decisions however.
