He didn't suggest trading Mac for just a two spot upgrade, he suggested trading Gilbo for a two spot upgrade. Fair difference there.I doubt very much it would take Mac and pick 3 to get pick one and we wouldn't offer that.
If we traded Mac and 3 we would probably get 1 and 10 in return, or something along those lines, effectively giving us Boyd and someone like Sheed/Dunstan/Bontompelli, for Mac and one of Scharanberg/Kelly/Aish.
On a talent basis I think it would be much of a muchness, with Boyd likely to be better than Mac, but Aish/Kelly/Scharanberg likey to be better than Sheed/Dunstan/Bontompelli, but structurally I think we'd be better off with Boyd, Hickey and Stanley in the team long term than Mac, Hickey and Stanley, given that Mac and Hickey have both shown very little when played forward so far in their careers and given both look far better suited to the no.1 ruck role, where there's only room for one of them.
