To be honest I would prefer to try and trade up (sounds stupid as we are currently 17th but I still think there is a good chance the ladder finishes
15- Hawks
16- Tigers
17- Eagles
18- Roos
Interestingly I am hard barracking for Port this week and Bombers on Anzac day which could break the...
I think that was the point. It's hit and miss in the teens.
Hard to value Smith. No way he is worth a top 5 pick EG Hawks pick this year but he's easily a mid first rounder. Wonder if a club like hawks would need to either split their pick with Suns or Dockers or someone and then give one of...
They can only do that if they can afford to. If we offered first 3 years at 1.5 and then extend at $1 million a year for next 3 I don't think they can match.
I’d be checking in again and seeing if he’s up for a round of golf with Lewis, Sicily and Roughy.
Their club is in disarray and he’s close with a few of our boys

He will be available at 6 if we don’t take him.
4 - demons would take Watson
5- dogs to take sanders
6- hawks get Curtain

Ralph math doesn’t make sense here. 790 x 1.05 and then x 1.1 is over 900k. Clearly other clubs anger has them leaking to put pressure on afl

And as a result got Bartel in 01 which would under today’s rules they wouldn’t have got and Selwood in 06.
Cats fans as usual completely full of it. They wouldn’t have won a single flag if they didn’t get Selwood and Bartel

If we want high end midfield talent we would just draft McKercher and not have to pay him 800k. This doesn’t make sense and isn’t happening.
Connors was very clear.

Hawks could trade that future 1 and future 2 to the dogs for one of their firsts and a the dogs future 1.
Then trade 3 and dogs 1 do eagles for 1 this year and retain a first next year. Pick 3 and F1 for Hawks or pick 2 and future 1 for North is massive overs

Because the hawks are a border line finals team when Sicily plays but when he doesn’t almost can’t win. The hawks need a big fullback to pair with Sicily.
He also costs money only and we are no longer paying Mitchell or O’Meara and wingard is off his deal. 800k might be overs but why do the...
It literally happens every year. The system is well known. Clubs are all playing within it. Not sure what all the fuss is about.
I hope Hawks get McKay and north get pick 3.
Will still be two of Mckercher, Watson or Duursma available and will be the hawks best pick in 18 years.

I’m slightly worried hawks trade future 1 and the gain is Watson. Hawks were young and reasonably healthy this year. I worry we easily have a worse year next year and getting pick 4 (5) looks very bad this time next year.
For that reason if I was the suns I do the hawks future 1 if offered...
Sanders feels like the sweetener to the Roos hand as I can’t see Roos getting 2 and Sanders unless someone pays 850 X 5 which would be utter madness.

Best and fairest performance and other factors eg All Australians are part of the formula. Port got a second rounder for Amon for that money last year.

Treloar ended up being pick 7 and 7. That was massive overs. No chance a midfielder with Smith’s profile is worth pick 3 and a future 1. He’s not worth pick 3.

Would love us to trade future 1 to suns for their first this year. Especially if they finish 15th. We would obviously not bid on their kids then and would be able to add
Watson + Duursma + McCabe this year.

They would take McKercher in a second.
Also the Roos will be trading with eagles for pick 1 and then eagles will be trading with the suns for their first rounder.

I think this is right.
Do they then decide to pair 2 Tassie boys together or do they deem that far too risky with Tassie team 5-6 years away?

Only way we trade for pick 12 is if we intend on moving it on. McCabe is 15 on Cal Twomey draft board and most have him in that range with 4 academy/Fs picks before him.
12 seems far too close to risk the bid coming

How do we get the suns First rounder? Walter seems like the player we need most but won’t get so bidding on him seems plausible.
If there is a deal that doesn’t see us giving up future 1 for their first that should be our goal. If then 3 and 8 was enough to get 1 then look at it

He may need to put his big boy pants on and deal with the fact that it’s an open draft and he doesn’t get to pick where he lands.
Or he has to wait till the free agency compensation picks and trades are done. Bombers may have 2 top 10 picks and a future first if Parish leaves. North the same...
