Silvers on Triple M still mentioned about trading picks for established players.
I don't know how I feel about this, I reckon we still need to hit the draft.
Sid Draper or the like this year for a start.
I recall his performance in their second final against the Blues I think it was and remember thinking he would be a very good addition to our midfield .
A player wouldn’t mind is Tom Sparrow from Dees . Obviously contested type player but appears to have some explosiveness from stoppages .
OOC next year . Would he be a fit for our mid set up?
Hopefully we greased the wheels enough with 5 pick for Rankine last year .
Swap our 2024/1 for Suns 2023/1. Mind you our next year’s 1st might not be as attractive now and we might need to add more from our end .
Grab Moir and also McAullife as tall big bodied mid if we made the trade .
Reckon we could trump Port for Kosi Pickett? We have more draft collateral and can offer the chance to play together with Rankine .
Let’s get Pickett and Will Day with 2023/24 1sts and our team is set 👍
With Ben Long leaving Saints and requesting a trade to Gold Coast, does this make it easier in our negotiations with Gold Coast for Rankine?
Might open up the option of a three way trade.

Certainly not a consensus but Knightmare still has Philippou at 1. It would be a shame to miss out on the premier SA mid in back to back years if he...
So with Isaac Keeler will we get the opportunity to match like other NGA players from previous years?
For example, use our first on someone else (hopefully no bid before our pick) and then stock up using later picks and go into deficit if needed?
