Hmm...definitely a much better deal than the "predicted" Ess/WB deal, but still concerned about only have two 2nd rounders and a 4th round pick next year. Hopefully we haven't traded away a top 10 pick. I'm reasonably confident that we can make the 8 though. Would be great we can somehow get back into the 1st round somehow. I feel like we need to draft some players that can play immediately next year to make this trade worth it.

We have Hawks 4th rounder for 2018 plus our own

Dark Sharks - will do. I see a chance to take some risks and be ready to pounce if they fall through.

Examples -
1. If all the top inside mids that we want are gone at 13, then we may pull the trigger on Naughton or Brander
2. Aidan Bonar may slide through to 21 and I would pull the trigger here
3. If we get Constable at 13, Oscar Allen at 21 would be handy
4. The cluster of picks means we can go a Spargo or Moore or L Fogarty or Worpel

I will get with Monocle and see what we might look at - will delay over thinking it until end of trade today

BTW I believe 37 for Starcevich is a reach

What Pick do you see Kyron Hayden going at ?

gawd, its getting confusing!

hopefully we can use these 2nd rounders to make out like bandits with helping the Dogs move on Stringer.
 
If we are expecting to get a first round compo for Gaff next year that would be roughly equal to our 2018 1st rounder, we've effectively done:

Gaff (except 1 year older) for 21, 26, 37 and a 2018 2nd rounder.

Oddly, that looks quite bad from my point of view.

Yeah, but that isn't the trade. You can't just lump Gaff in.
 
We have been risk averse for over a decade, time to take a gamble. If it pays off then the club is a hero if not then we are back to where we started.

To clarify - I was under the impression (due to initial reports) that we had included both pick 13 AND next years first in the deal. Which was a bit horrifying.

Better now - it's a gamble but not quite as crazy.
 
Damn freo got a steal. For comparison we traded first rounders for Redden and Wellingham...
Both picks in the late teens which is only half a dozen spots earlier than freos 2nd rounder next year
