So the answer is an emphatic no
That's ok we could just promise to get him and then give up our 2 x 2018 1st rd picks and say it's a good deal because of the 4 top 10 picks in 2016. Is that how it works?

Hahahaha I love that this is a thing now
AFL trade show has us taking Charlie Constable, 190cm inside mid
Also read Blues would be keen on him at #10, would be a great get at #19 but don't think he will be available for us there

Funny thing is most ppl have us taking an inside mid but in reality we probably won’t.

We had four top 10 picks in 2016 so we really don’t need to draft again at all ever
It was hard to watch the guys on the show holding back laughter when discussing that we gave up for Weller

I think the Suns make the Finals, so the 2018 pick will be around #13.
I reckon the Eagles get the Spoon because they went all in this year and will be in recovery mode, so #1.
Another poor year by the Suns and unexpected competitiveness by WC will still see mid-round picks anyway.
Success will reduce wantaways, so I'd hope for another year like 2016 with some clever FA acquisitions and 4 high draft picks.

Hey guys, a mate and i are keen to try and get a footy podcast up and going, we just uploaded the first ep and have based it around the trade period. Its our first attempt at anything like this but please have a look and enjoy

Dreaming if you think the Eagles will come last. I doubt we make the 8 either we have a ways to go yet.
If you look at 2018 premiership odds as a guide GC would have a top 3 pick and WCE would be giving us a pick around 7-8

Sounds more like it. I would say eagles around the 9 - 14 mark
I'd suggest 7-12 is where I'd expect to see WCE finish up. may drop that to more in line with Scotty depending on their draw.
Really dont think the big name players they lost were big contributers in ways that cannot be replaced. Priddis was a shadow of former self this year for example.
Nicnat back is a big deal. - assumes that he comes back close to the ability he had pre-acl which is a big call, given most players seem to have 12-18 really sub-par months post return to playing. (but most of these are playing 12 months after the initial injury -NN will be closer to 18 months)

Yeah but who comes up to play that position to even half of what Priddis was? Ah chee? Kidding me.. they will struggle out of the middle

Funny you say that - Sheed somehow wound up in my AFL Fantasy team early in the season - scored me some good points and was still there at the end.
Like nobody knows us maybe we don't know West Coast... Think they'll be mid table somewhere.....

The Weagles only made the 8 by a late goal in the final game of the season in a game that the Crows tanked. They are hot garbage away from home and lost a hell of a lot of experience to retirements. Besides which, I did say that the Eagles could do better and the Suns worse, so a couple of Top 10 picks wouldn't be out of the question. If the Eagles and Suns both play finals I doubt we'll be complaining, while if the future pick from the Eagles doesn't turn out to be better than top 10 then the Suns gamble won't have paid off quite so well.
It seems every DFA worth their salt are linked to Port. Are there any whispers of who (if any) the Suns are interested in?
Andrew Swallow pretty much the only one who seems to have any links at the moment. Though things may of course change.

There were early Troy Menzel whispers as well.

Big no to Hartung for me. Outside runners with s**t disposal are not what we need.
