I'll go big (and long) on my first post. If Buddy goes to GWS I reckon we'll make a play for Tom Boyd (Sando did say we were looking for another KPF

). Nobel has shown he's willing to get creative at the trade table, through the original crouch proposal, and he was working on getting us a pick of toumpas (top 3) before the Tippett saga blew up. Also don't think they get a superstar that they are hoping for.
Could potentially see something like the following:
(1)Mackay + Henderson +Lyons -> Melbourne for pick 2, Demons get three starting 22 players.
(2)Smack +42 -> Second rounder (potentially Collingwood's + Martin)
(3) Three way trade: Collingwwod's second for someone like Pears or Alex Silvagni who then ends up at GWS + Luke Thompson + Pick 2 for Pick 1 and Shaun Edwards.
Add Betts through FA and Polec PSD our Trade period would look like:
IN: Betts, Polec, Edwards, Martin, Boyd (pick 1)
Out: Smack, Mackay, Henderson, Lyons, Thompson, pick 42
Best 22 (if fit)
Laird Rutten Brown
Otten Talia Smith
Sloane Thompson Douglas
Lynch Tex Grigg
Betts Boyd Jenkins
Sauce Danger Crouch
Bench: Vb Vince Reilly Sub: Polec
Before you tear it to shreads, I know it's not going to happen. Just floating an idea
