some posters have been hypothesising in a trade with GWS,haha....no worries
This pick 9 seems to have landed in our hands from nowhere!
some posters have been hypothesising in a trade with GWS,
e.g. maybe trading Warnock and Laidler and maybe a 3rd round pick for pick 9.
all just made up scenarios which if it happens, puts the club in a great position to secure possible future stars. if not, well, can't really be upset over something we never had.

while all that seems more balanced than a lot of posters are proposing in this thread, let's be realistic and trust Mick when he says that this year's INs are gonna be 75% draft and 25% tradingHavent got time to wait for young kids coming into the AFL. Blah this draft anyways after the first half dozen picks.
For me;
Trade Yarran and 3rd rounder to MEL for Pick 2. (Roos big advocate of Yaz)
Trade 2, 12, Hampson and Laidler to GWS for Patton, Adams and 9. (Patton is gettable if Buddy and Boyd go up there)
Trade Lucas and Bootsma to WC for Shuey. (Hard inside mid for two WA boys - Mick and Wiles still favoured in West)
Trade 9 to ADEL for Mackay and Henderson. (Two good Vic Lads - ADEL want in first round. Probably getting Eddie too.)
2nd to Brisbane for Docherty who we are allegedly into heavily. (Great player who wants to come home. Maybe add a player or two)
Cash for Daisy. (maybe for Dusty as well as Richmond are cooling quickly apparently).
Magarey Medalist with 4th. (Richmond looking at him) Lambert with 5th. Marcon with 6th. Haretuku from Frankston with 7th. All seasoned and solid players plus 2 we already see at Bullants and 1 big unit prospect.
Re-rookie Mitchell and McCarthy plus 1 or 2 that slipped through.
In: (11+(1)) Patton (KPF), Adams (inside mid), Shuey (inside/outside mid), MacKay (outside mid), Henderson (HB/HF), Docherty (HB/HF), Daisy (outside mid), (Dustin Martin - (dysfunctional mid)), Matt Thomas (inside mid), Lambert (inside/outside mid), Marcon (inside mid), Haretuku (KPP/Ruck).
Out: (12+ delistings) 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th - Yarran, Hampson, Laidler, Lucas, Bootsma. (Maybe Betts too.)
Most of these in's could play first up, while Lambert, Marcon and Haretuku could develop further in a system they already know. They just have greater incentive to achieve AFL dreams. Mick wants mids and we need a gun KPF.

If that was directed at my last post, I said it's more balanced than what a lot of other posters have suggested, doesn't mean it's at an optimal level. If it was at such an optimal level, we can all be recruiters at top level clubsThat's balanced?
I don't even know where to start.
So i won't.
By losing a gun player...If we managed to trade for GWS's first pick, Betts left and Thomas stayed at Collingwood we could have three first rounders.

Addition by subtraction works for us plebs who act like list managers and recruiters.

Cheer up.Instead of hiding behind your computer screen and sniping like a coward why not enlighten us with your expert opinion.
With so much experience on this site surely 6000+ of those posts can't all be from the grassy knoll.
By the way, nice avatar. Your mum must be proud you've been able to retain your babyish good looks.
If this is true and you're offering feasible solutions, then I'd love to see your proposal that will get us Boyd.Yeah cause our current list is just bursting at the seams with gun players and doesn't need to be improved at all. Mediocre list needs to be refreshed and I don't see you offering any solutions.
Two of those if we get #13 as FA Compo for Eddie and don't get Daisy.
some posters have been hypothesising in a trade with GWS, e.g. maybe trading Warnock and Laidler and maybe a 3rd round pick for pick 9.
Cringle, your first name wouldn't be Kris by any chance.Pick 9 would be pretty obtainable. And if Daisy stays a Pie, we could be going into the draft with picks, 9, 12 and 13 just for starters.

First of all, good oneCringle, your first name wouldn't be Kris by any chance. Warnock, Laidler and a 3rd round pick for pick 9. Do we really think this is enough for GWS to part for pick 9? How do we get pick 13, is this via FA compensation for Eddie? Not sure Eddie's worth a first round pick. Maybe an early to mid second round pick? Anyone know how the AFL work out Compo picks - I'm guessing a board with a spinning arrow might be involved.

Thanks Bradschi.First of all, good one
In terms of the compensation draft pick, it depends on the contract that the his new club offers him. Everyone has been going with pick 13, the pick right after our current pick based on numerous reports that the Crows are offering Betts a 4 year contract of $2 million, which belongs to band one compensation (thanks Jeremias!). But who knows, we've been shafted by the AFL before, they might do it again just for their own personal amusement.
And how do we end up with it?
I put forward the trade idea that with GWS needing an experienced ruckman and their having to bring in experienced players, they will be more interested in trading picks for players and we have 2 spare #1 ruckmen usually running around in the seconds that we can work a trade for pick 9.
I put forward the idea of trading Warnock and our 4th (or 5th) round pick for their pick 9.
It would be nice if we can get it... if we dont, we havent lost anything.
