That list of picks doesnt include the Prestia and JOM picks either.
GCS are screaming out for established players. I say we trade some out to them and try and get some of those 1sts off them.
Not sure who we'd have that would suit.
Kreuzer?
Daisy?
White?
Everitt?
Armfield?
Of that lot, I'd think Kreuzer, White and Everitt might appeal to them - maybe offer them up for Pick 10 and probably a downgrade of later picks in GC's favour?
Daisy and Armfield might be good for them culturally, but Daisy has his injury/form concerns and I don't think Dennis would want to leave Melbourne given all the charity work he's involved in down here - probably not gonna get a deal done for either of them.
Then maybe we could offer up Whiley, Dick and/or Graham - hope to get a mid-late second rounder (30ish) for a pair of them?
The problem is that our ability to do trades like that will hinge on us getting a multi-player deal working in our favour (eg. 4 GWS players for 2 picks) so we don't have to go too deep in the draft to fill spots.
Send our second (23) and pick 30 to GWS for Marchbank, Barrett, Tomlinson and Stewart.
Send Tuohy to Sydney for a late first (17 or 18, probably), and we'd be going in to 2017 with limited senior bodies, but some high draft picks.
OUT: Kreuzer, White, Everitt, Whiley, Graham, Tuohy + Walker and Jamison retired + delistments.
IN: Marchbank, Barrett, Tomlinson, Stewart
Go to the draft with 5, 10, 17, 41, 50. (McGrath, Scrimshaw, Clarke, Kerr + someone?)
Upgrade Byrne.
Three new rookies, including a ruck and hopefully Kerbatieh.
Maybe a DFA or two to facilitate some preferred delistments.
