I will review with more time but here is a quick view of what we might do with that hand

13 - Constable - General in the guts
21 - L Fogarty - excellent inside mid
26 - Worpel - tough inside mid
32 - Kelly - inside outside mid with pace
37 - Allen - KPF that can chop out in ruck (may be a stretch)
 
Another AFL reports says its next years first.

Looks like a **** up on the AFL trade talk report.

Conflicting information as AFL trade talk has it as this years first # 13 not next years first ????????

Not sure whats happened now.
AFL.com reporting 2018 first rnd
 
There's also the possibility we're settled on the fact that we lose Gaff to FA next year and we're banking on a first there. Maybe, maybe not - but it's not a bad hedge if so.
 
I hope someone gets fired for that trade when we finish bottom 5 next year and don't have a pick
If we finish bottom 5 next year it won't just be whoever did that trade getting fired

Overall the trade seems okay. GC haven't taken much risk it feels like. The deal is a world beater if we nail the picks.

I'd like us to focus on getting back into the first round next year, and still believe we have a feeling one of our FA's is on the move.

That's effectively 4 Jack Watts plus a close shave
Not a bad start for the Mitchell College of Football

One thing is for sure - nobody rates this drafts depth like we do. Interesting times but good to see we have the balls to put our picks where our opinion is.
This is true and does stresd me out.

All the clubs have been talking about next year.

Still on points we would come out ahead even if it was around pick 5.
 
So we move down from our first rounder next year to the suns second rounder which could be as few as 6 or 7 places and unlikely to be more than 17 for two picks in the 20's this year

We also upgrade 50 to 37 this year which will be our fifth pick in the draft

That's not a bad trade although we have to nail those picks though

Simpson said through much of the back end of our season that our list profile in 2018 would be vastly different. Club has delivered on that promise
