suspect JLo is already keen on us selecting him by recent reporting...funny enough Justin was 196cm and Luke is 198cm..bit of similarity there I think. but Luke a bit more agile and athletic than Justin was.
Yeah the kid could be anything, every description I've read of him is absolutely glowing. Huge want for mine, if he's got the potential to play up forward there's no reason why he has to push out Darcy either

Early days, but I see Jackson as similar to Pearce. He can play kp forward or back or pinch hit in the ruck. That versatility makes Jackson a very valuable get. Having that very talented developing backup to Hogan and Pearce I would take any day.

easy easy W27...there all okay not so bad.... get to know them, be careful in phrase, try not take offence, not to give offence, quick to apologise if needs be, quick to edit and or explain the context that was meant if something was misunderstood.
That said...every so often you just might need to give someone an uppercut....but of course you will most likely get one back.
Stay on the ship matey.

Nick Dal Santo reckons we need a Zack Merrett type. Maybe he means this bloke

again your opinion...suspect that if we are setting ourselves on picks in the draft and have targets then all sorts of scenarios may come into play....
for example could we somehow be involved in the Eagles Geelong Kelly deal, or the Fremantle Melbourne Hawks Langdon Frost deal or PA Essendon Fantasia deal.
If we are not fixed on pick 6 or 7 for Stephens and instead were looking at say picks 10,11,12, 24 26 re targeted players...it may be possible but very involved trading.
your thoughts?

so choice (the two early picks 6 and 7) rather than extra picks ...say 10, 11, 19 and 20
Yes because one of those will go on Henry...

Lets stay on course...if BHill is going...and we get what he is worth...we pick the two best available (trust JLo and Bello) and Henry. TK can go enjoy his Eagle Family time. Langdon can make up his mind. Stay or go. Don't be a Diva. Same with Connor Blakely. Mature people work through differences. You don't have to be besties.
The number one goal is to bring home our first FLAG. That should be motivation enough. Twenty years from now...who cares who slept with whose ex-GF or whatever else...
I have a deep sense that we can do this NLT 2023. Lets get cracking Justin!

I think a few are doing mental gymnastics trying to make sure we only gain picks before a Henry bid will come. An astute trader would still be looking at trades were we might get multiple picks (worth far more) than a single pick before the bid. To trade up the draft clubs pay a massive premium - it is never close to the points system value from what I have seen.
If we have #6, #7, #22, #26, #80 at draft time and a bid for Henry comes at 12 then we'll get two picks at 6 & 7 (eg Robertson, Stephens/Jackson), Henry and then both #22 and #26 will be consumed in matching the bid and we'd probably get back pick ~#34 (the points left over).
If we say trade #6 for say #12 and #18 (from GWS) and end up with #7, #12, #18, #22, #26, #80 at draft time and a bid for Henry comes after our 12 pick, we'll still end up with 2 picks before the bid at #7 and #12 (possible still Robertson or Stephens/Jackson available at #12). Then #18 would cover the Henry bid in full. So we'd have both picks available still at #22 & #26 (or whatever they'd be after bids shifts things). That's 5 players in the top 30 versus only 3 with our existing picks.
Not saying this will happen. But it's in the ball park of what could be possible.

What's the earliest people are expecting a Henry bid to come?
I'm assuming there is nothing stopping a club bidding on Henry just to make Fremantle burn a higher selection except that they'll get Henry if Fremantle choose not to match. He seems to be getting talked up more and more and is saying publicly at least he'd be happy to play anywhere, could fit a need at a lot of clubs.

I am all for taking the most players we can in the top 30 but I don't see a great deal of value in the GWS pick swap. I hope we'll see the club trading back into the draft after a Henry bid

Which is exactly why we shouldn't push for Kelly.
I reckon between 11-20
Not me, not even interested in trying to make it work, no good at figures anyways. In Belly we trust.
Personally anywhere from 8-16

Would you spend a top 10 pick on a plan b because I imagine that's what they'll want for him given they currently would be paying him stuff all and has performed extremely well
Sam Taylor is a great pair of hands...couldn't see GWS giving him up for less than a first though
