I like it. Thinking outside the square. Similar scouting landed us Jayden Hunt.

I think we might need to remove 27 from the title.

Not yet! If we could pull off something where we keep our 2nd round pick this year and still manage to bring in Hibberd it will be a massive win.

Well it is Dodobirdo we're talking about.

Getting pretty excited about pick 99. I wonder who is available? I guess I try to find 100 youtube highlights clips of under 18yo dudes and invest in the second worst of them.

We could even sign a Fitzpatrick type!

Early days and we don't know what our picks will be (first pick could be pick 45ish), but here are two players that have caught my eye.
Alex Witherden (186cm 80kg)
17 yo Geelong Falcons half-back, lots of potential but missed a lot of this year with a broken leg. Expected to be a second rounder but could slide. Not overly athletic but a smart composed player whose an excellent kick.
Max Lynch (200cm 96kg)
Peter Ladhams is the main ruckman everyone is talking about but I reckon this guy has more versatility of being able to contribute around the ground/maybe play up forward one day. No idea where he'll get drafted, but probably more of a later pick or even rookie, really depends on the recruiters. Played 11 TAC games, kicked 3 goals, took some good contested grabs and featured in the bests for Murray Bushrangers in 4 of them. Also another ruckman named Max can't hurt
If hes names Max and he's 200cm ; hes a sure thing. Up the trees

I have severe cognitive dissonance with the possibility of us having a live pick in the 20s.

"We rated him in the top 8 players in the draft pool".

Easy. Whomever it turns out to be, make up a story and then convince yourself with it that the player is actually the best in the draft and deliberately screwed up their interview / psych test / combine results or whatever because they were only prepared to play at MFC. And post that everywhere on Bigfooty.

How many spots need filling? We have only 3 been de-listed so far to my knowledge, Hibb and Lewis to take 2 of them. Could be more on the chopping block yet?

How many list spots do we have left? Any further delisting coming?
From memory we need to use three picks at the ND, a number that includes rookie upgrades. So basically we need three spots on our main list.
Delisting Grimes, M. Jones & Terlich gave us three spots. Two of those have now been filled by Hibberd and Lewis.
Assuming Dunn goes that leaves us two spots free on the main list at the end of the trade period. We will then need to delist at least one more player (likely Dawes) to fulfill the three picks required.

Newton will go as well apparently, though maybe he gets a reprieve now we have no picks

Since we only need to use 3 picks and we have 5, would we look at bundling 2 or more picks to get a higher draft postion?

Can we just bundle all that up plus Dawes and Lamumba and related spuds for JOM? I know that doesn't work on any level but I could acquire a taste for pissing off the Hawks pretty easily.
