Will Hoskin Elliot. will he stay at GWS?
It seems quite possible. All accounts indicate he's happy to stay and see out his contract, but OK to go if something can be worked out. (Not sure that either Giants or Pies should be delighted with that attitude!). He's likely to cost Collingwood a little bit more than they want, given their lack of picks and Daicos/Brown points needs, so wouldn't be surprised if it didn't go through. If it does, perhaps a future second rounder for a late pick (e.g. #60) back Pies' way this year to help F/S? Probably depends on what Giants' TPP really is - if we do indeed need to lose some salary it might go through late for a cheap pick.
 
What's fair value?
I'd say somewhere in the third round, fourth round perhaps. Given that Essendon is first in each round, and that GWS tend to get their departing players to where they want to go (in most cases!), straight fourth round probably likely; otherwise we might try for third round and a later pick going back to the Bombers. It might depend on your list position, must admit I've not been following too closely how many picks you'll take live given the top-up player situation.
 
Hey guys, if you end up getting pick 13 for Marchbank, which is looking likely now, do you think you might look at trading 13 and 15 (both picks you will have to use on Perryman/Setterfield you would think) for a first round pick next year and pick 23 this year?

Will that leave you with enough points for your academy picks? Still waiting on deals for WHE and Stewart also I believe.

Sounds like it could be a win/win for each club as you still get all your academy kids whilst getting another pick in the first round next year.
 
How many players have we shipped out? How many will we draft?
3 traded to date (McCarthy, Steele, Ahern) plus 1 retired/rookie list (Patfull). Still have Marchbank and Stewart asked for trades which I'd expect to get done. WHE seems to be vacillating - might depend on Collingwood's situation re picks & F/S points versus our TPP. Also, whether Marchbank needs some mates such as Pickett & Palmer to get him to Carlton (in which case we might prefer to hold onto WHE). Haven't heard any real whispers about either rucks (Simpson, Downie) or Barrett, who were all discussed before the trade period. So, for me, 4 down, 2 more certainties, and I'd think another 1 - 3 possible, which is around what I'd expected.

Yes, personal view is that pick 13 is more likely and closer to fair value. It's the kind of trade that we'd like to do, especially with a couple of highly rated academy kids next year. Not sure it would give us enough points though, with no first rounders after #2, and two likely first round academy selections this year.

If you're talking about St Kilda, you can't trade your future first rounder as you've traded out your future second rounder for Steele.

I'd be against it.

We have to be pretty careful with all this points juggling not to assist potential rivals.

In my opinion Western Bulldogs, St Kilda, Gold Coast and Carlton are the younger teams that are going to be our rivals.

Sure we have to trade from time to time but why should we give you a free kick to get another high pick??

We didn't use all our points last year and I doubt we will again this year.

We have our priorities and so long as we have the points to secure McGrath or McCluggage, Setterfield, Perryman and Macreadie than we are set. F*** St Kilda and their needs.
 
Agreed. So you'd be happy with 41?

I'd be ok with 41. That's about where similar players have gone for in recent years.
