If GC are tight on spots and only going to take minimal picks, surely they'd keep pick 3 and look to offload 19 or 21. I would be tempted to trade 2022 1st rounder for 19 and 21.

Yeah its completely on the dons to offer something enticing enough to contemplate a trade and the dogs have every right not to come to the table given he's contracted.. it will be a very interesting couple of weeks.

Disagree on that, surely Sam hasn't written off the whole draft over Jamarra.. live trading during the draft also allows plenty of flexibility in swapping picks around. You will definitely trade in some picks during the trade period for this years draft, although clearly would not have...

Late 1st/early 2nd and our 2021 1st for Dunkley seems reasonable to me.. surprised that he reportedly wants out at the dogs but can see how we might have sold him the 'lacking a big bodied mid' spiel and a healthy contract. I sympathise with doggies fans as its always difficult when a good...

I'd say we would be looking to use him as steak knives in a draft pick trade to get up the order for a KPF. We should have enough picks to make it a win-win assuming adelaide get pick 2 compensation for crouch. Something along the lines of pick 2 and 20(or)29 for 6, 7 and Fantasia

Trade Table Young Mids Jye Caldwell - Age: 20 Height: 183cm Weight: 82kg. OOC Aggressive 'balanced mid' type that can win it on the inside and burn blokes on the outside. Cracks in hard and can kick goals going forward. Plenty of potential upside, highly rated at GWS. Xavier O'Halloran -Age...

Well done Dodo, addressed our needs for the future in the ruck and KPF and brought in a mature rdy-to-play big bodied mid which is arguably our most pressing issue. Will watch Hibberd with interest given I wasn't a big fan when he was at north but looks to have improved this year at Willy. Big...

How could he have gone cat B? We could have nominated him as a cat A rookie selection like the lions but instead Dodo did a bait and switch. He will go straight onto the 'Inactive' (LTI) list and we will pick up a player in via the SSP while he recovers. The lions were pretty miffed about the...

Where is all the love for Mitch Hibberd coming from? He was terrible at North, soft as butter for a 191cm mid. Has he turned it on in the VFL this year?

Crazy if you think Essendon would trade their contracted marquee forward when they don't even get offered pick 5. Swans clearly didn't do enough to get the trade done.. which is fine, you wanted to use pick 5 at the draft and replace Papley with Joe Daniher for a 2020 1st. Carlton copped it...

I see our 4 primary needs as: Big Inside-Mid Cooper Stephens (20-35) Sam Philip (35-65) Developing Key Position Forward Sam de Koning (20-35) Harry Jones (30-65) Jake Ricardi (40-65) Small Forward Elijah Taylor (25-40) Kysiah Pickett (40-65) Developing Ruck Nick Bryan (30-65) Charlie...

Cooper Stephens would be ideal if he is still around

Hahah I'd tend to agree - he was school mates with Luke Davies though so I imagine that'd be a fair pull.

Sounds like North might be putting pick 26 or 27 on the table for him.

Pretty sure GWS need points for academy pick Tom Green, so I'd assume they'd be wanting 31 or 33

Yeah fair enough. David Noble on trade radio this arvo indicated Ess are at the front of the queue for Cutler. Our 3rd rounder is 57 now so that might be the swap.

Does a 3rd or 4th round pick get Cutler done?

Bloody media always exaggerate things!! It's actually $896,800 per season. Definitely not 900k.

Saints have committed 900k to him on a long term deal...Kelly probably on less money at the WEagles, shows how highly the Saints value him. Hill also contracted. Freo have every right to ask the world for him - whether the Saints pay overs to get their man is up to them. Personally wouldn't...

One thing that Flanders has from any of our current mids is his level of aggression and strength at the contest. Personally I think this is the area we lack the most (acknowledge this is part of the 'big-bodied mid' talk)- Smith (174cm) and Dyl Clarke (187cm) are the only ones that have been...

Sammy Hayes looked really good coming back from the acl for the last half of the year. I'd definitely have him as a tall forward (ruck) option - gifted athletically and 202cm

I'd expect us to give port 37 back in return. Seems like the momentum is building for this trade - some unreliable dot joining may indicate that Dougal hasn't gone public with trade request in order for Fantasia to get his management organised to begin brokering the deal behind the scenes...

I still wouldn't rule out Howard being involved in the Fantasia trade. Whatever our thoughts on the 'value' of both players it is clear that Port are trying to get Raz and with Daniher leaving, we could use a 23yo KPD.

Out of interest, what draft pick would you begrudgingly accept for Howard? Like you'd still be annoyed at the club for trading him but you could cop it

Looks pretty good strategy - Port probably look to negotiate Pick 14 for Howard and 29 though.

Flanders vs Kemp is a really tough call but I think Kemp probably does need to be prioritised, although I see both player types as 'needs'. Flanders is probably more bankable and would have an immediate impact in 2020. An explosive and strong bodied inside-mid with the ability to be a dynamic...

Not sure I'd be going with Ash for us. From what I've seen he looks projecting into a jet Redman type (intercepter, drive off hb with elite kick) which imo isn't a need for us with a top 10 pick. Really like Flanders and Kemp - the other is probably Robertson (especially after watching that...

Raz is (at least from my pov) our no1 sml forward and no2 general forward, only to Daniher (when fit). Now they've both been unable to get on the park so I completely understand why clubs would be hesitant to invest heavily but it's going to take a fair bit to wrench out a contracted player who...

I think you've outlined the situation pretty well here - seems to be the reason PAFC will contemplate trading Howard. The oversupply of key defenders has to lessen his value to an extent when looking to bring in a Fantasia who the dons are desperate to keep. A swap of PAFC 2nd rounder for...

In the unlikely event that these trades get done... T1: Joe and 37 for 5 and 9 T2: Raz and 49 for Dougal and 29 Draft: 5 - Sam Flanders. Powerful goal-kicking mid-fwd who is ready to play senior football. 9 - Brodie Kemp. The ‘Bont’ of 2019, did his ACL in July. 193cm smooth moving mid with...
