I couldn't care less if they did in the grand scheme of things, as long as we get Carlsile, a top 10 pick and Freeman. I just want the deal done, it's not about screwing Essendon, it's about getting Carlisle.
I dont care about the club either but its the outcome and i worry the outcome we will get will be inferior to what other clubs have achieved with Essendon

I am moving towards the 'we will trade pick 5' arguement. I still don't think that Essendon will end up with it though.

Unless of course, Essendon have the same idea as us and trade their picks 4 & 23 for 8 & 16 - I'd give them 5 and 24 for 8 and Carlisle. Same outcome for us. :thumbsu:

If we can get Carlisle, Freeman and a top 10 pick at the same time, that would be a win. Only worried that Essendon will end up winning out of the trade at our expense, but if that doesn't happen I would be happy with it.

Why do we care what another club ends up with? Luke Ball and Paddy Ryder have absolutely nothing to do with anything we are trying to achieve. If we trade 5 to Suns or Giants it will because it's the best thing for our club.
The only thing that matters is we are happy with our trade and draft period. People need to have more faith in Ameet.

Can't see how Essendon gets it, it's likely to head north IMO, if traded.
It's funny, I am of the same thoughts as many that I'd hate Essendon to get 5. But... The important thing is the net result for us in the end, not who gets what along the way.

Still, I just can't wash that filthy taste from my mouth at the thought of those tools getting their dirty hands on pick 5!

Josh Schoenfeld from WA won both the beep test with 16.2 and the 3km time trial with a 9:15, that is elite running.. Anybody know anything else about him? I know hes a mid size midfielder (185ish cm)

I have absolute faith in Ameet, he hasn't failed before. I reckon there may be some head scratching along the way, but by the time the last name is called out on draft night we will once again be Spruiking the genius of our recruiting team.

Ah, with all due respect, the less help we are to clubs that share our window the better it is for us. I don't think it would be outlandish to say the 2010 collingwood team would have been a solitary point worse if they didn't have Luke Ball. But for the most part, it doesn't really matter.

IMO working into the FREO/GWS McCarthy trade is out best option for turning 5 and 24 into Carlisle and a top 10 pick that gets us a good shot at Matho/Whoever we think will slip from 5-that pick.

It'd take some working out to make happen, but Ameet and the rest of the crew have shown to be highly skilled in this area.

I think GC are the team we need to trade with. They already have 3, 19, and 22, and will get first rounders from Port Adelaide for Dixon, 10, and from Freo for Bennell, 16 most likely, and a pick from Geelong for Smith, probably 30. Their 3rd rounder is 40.
I dont believe they will be using 7 picks in the draft. I would offer them 5 and a player, (probably Gilbert), for 10, 19, and 40, 30 as well if they are not going to use it.
Then 10 to the draft,
19 to Essendon
30 to the draft
40 to collingwood.
42 for Rice
