I’m exactly the same... even without having seen Caldwell play. Sounds like the type of mid we need. Just don’t think Rozee will make it through to six, so if we want him it will be at the expense of Rankine.
FWIW I think Rozee is the type of player Dew prefers for his game plan over Rankine. More versatile. Lukosius, Rozee and Caldwell would be a handy trio. Can see them playing a fair bit of senior footy next year given our current list.

Cameron saying the top 10 are outstanding and we don't want to move outside the top 8 with any draft swaps.
If we aren't into Rankine then I still think we're a chance of dealing with the Adelaide clubs with pick 3.

You’re not wrong. While everyone will look at the players going out and think WTF are the Suns doing, every player you mentioned had a weakness or shortcoming in their game that won’t get a spot in Dew’s teams. And throughout last season none of them proved to Dew that they would grow their game to incorporate these roles the coach wants. Obviously we could have gotten more from the them in trades if we hadn’t kicked them to the curb or Cameron was a better negotiator, but we’re building a list of players who will play the tough, 2-way running style that Dew wants and any coasters will be found out real quick.

But we purposely bought in players who also have similar issues.
 
With Blakey as Top 5 , isn't it Adelaide pick 8 become pick 9 and outside of 8? I think Craig set a limit that unless Adelaide get Bulldog ,St Kilda pick GC not going to deal with them .

Whatever happens can’t see us giving up 3 unless 5 (Port), 8 (Adelaide), or 4 (Saints) are included in a package deal with other picks added and heavily in our favour. All depends on how hard they are for Rankine.

Just listened to the Cameron Interview and my take is it will be pretty hard for an Adelaide team to get any of 2, 3 and 6....hope I heard it right.

That’s what he said definitely. Just not convinced. Would he prefer 2,5,6,10 instead or 2,3,6? Get this gut feeling we like a few kids around the 6-10 mark a lot.

Yep. A 2, 5, 6 and 10 could nab us Lukosius, 2 out of Rozee, Smith and Caldwell, and a Jordan Clark or Xavier O’Halloran?

Bigfooty 2018 Phantom Draft is going to script so far with us taking 2. Lukosius 4. Rozee and 7. Smith. We bid on Blakey at 3. And Swans matched.

Looking at the Lyons situation after some Codral and a good nights sleep, the club could have easily said “no Jarryd we want you to stay“ and FU Brisbane. That they decided to let him go so meekly with a year to fulfill on his contract almost certainly means he was out the door at the end of 2019 anyway. I’m not convinced Dew has got it right yet but you’ve got to hand it to him for sticking to his convictions. Positive is that we get more Bowes and Brodie midfield time to show us what they’ve got.

I reckon the defining factor was being so late in the day they knew what they could get instead of Jarryd for free via DFA and it looked like an upgrade so lets see
 
so if we take Cameron at his word we may end up with two DFA's .... an outside mid and a rebounding defender?

What's the combo you guys think?

Honeychurch and Cheney?

Hartung and Whitecross?

Supposedly we said no to Goddard

Josh Smith and Oxley from Collingwood. Both Qlders but I know very little about them. Are they these types?

17 goals 23 behinds from 37 games suggests he was a front runner for the Lemmens Medal.
Alas, the Maestro's 17.26 record remains unchallenged though Lyons came closer than any other Sun.

Josh Smith and Adam Oxley came up at Redland with Alex Sexton and Josh Thomas. Smith was the last of them to be drafted at 22 and had his best year in 2016 playing as a ballwinning small defender. Oxley's been around for 6 seasons, but 2 of those were injury busts and this year he was kept out of an inform team, playing as a medium tall defender.
