I’m with you.
Keep 1 pick .....Brodie Kemp/Robertson
Take the other knock on Gold Coasts door or (gasp) the Eagles ...trade it for 2 in the teens/20’s plus future something to round out value.
Not to freaked out on losing 1 of these for Henry because it should protect our pick 26 and what we can get for Ed ? let’s just say 22.
End up with Kemp/Robertson, match Henry and still got a shot at 2 of Sharp/Rivers/Jackson.... if we get lucky get all 3.
We..... Not me I knew Ross the stubborn boss was playing him out of positions and playing his usual favourites with ballas and he just needed a bit of consistency and direction
Yeah I’m not dead against this. In this scenario we’d end up with 5 top 30 players with a strong WA contingent which definitely helps with our depth issues.
Saying that I’m not against keeping 6, 7 getting Henry and probably a top 35 pick leftover from the Henry bid. It brings in 4 players with 3x top 15 picks.
It should be an exciting draft for us as it could set us up for years. Please don’t stuff this up Freo.

A lot of people on the board seeming to suggest these WA U18's are going to be the messiah of the football club, do we need any reminding our draft record in recent years has not been that good so do we really have faith that this is going to be any different this year? Even for our players as highly drafted as Logue and Cerra the jury is still out on them and they are still really getting by largely on potential.
The four most important Footy Department decision makers have all gone over the last 12 months. It _may_ be that our draft/trading decision making is about to improve
With regard to Langdon. Given Melbourne seem to desperately want to hang onto pick 22 (not that I believe this). Also I believe that band 3 compo picks will be awarded to GWS (Tomlinson - Pick 38) and Richmond (Ellis - Pick 40) thus leaving Melbourne with pick 42. How about the following:
Trade 1: 6, 2020 3rd > BHill, 2020 4th
Trade 2: 3, 42 > 6, Langdon
Trade 3: Nick Robertson, 2020 4th > St Kilda 2020 3rd
Leaving us with: 3, 7, 26, 42, 82
Pick 6 > 3, 42 (equates to pick 21 on pts)
Pick 7 > 3, 42 (equates to pick 18 on pts)
Trade 1: 6, 2020 3rd > BHill, 2020 4th

It’s solid, nice work
I feel that pick 3 and 4 this year GWS will be pushing hard to get because like us, if they have that, they won’t burn their first pick on their academy kid.
So that pick 3 could be split for GWS picks 12, 18, future 3rd. Issue is 12 and 18 doesn’t avoid the concern for us, as we would assume that Henry will have a bid placed on him by the time 18 comes up
Whoever it is, I’d like find a way to have 3 picks before 15, that’ll have freo not burning a top 20 pick for Henry

AFL.com.au reporting we're into Connor Menadue as a winger/half-back.
Not familiar with his game but his numbers look very similar to Travis Colyer, so he should go nicely on a three year deal. His clanger rate is slightly higher than Colyer, who is second to Conca currently on our list

Yes doubt Ellis will be a second round, more likely second band - pick 20 as stated.
One question I do have - if we were to match a Henry bid with a single pick and we have a points surplus (i.e. we get a bid not long before one of our picks), do we gain an extra pick or does our next pick move up based on the points value?
I definitely thought it was an extra pick, but not sure if we only use one pick, and the rules were changed so picks must equal list spots.
Yeah the numbers being bandied about for Ellis will in all likelihood see the tigers get start of second round.
Menegola?... I’d laugh at us too if we were trying to recruit him

Honestly it seems like just a rumour that was started on here. He's had a decent couple of years at Geelong but dunno why we'd recruit him after we let him go years back
I think 12 and 18 is worth the gamble of splitting 3. If we get pick 12 before Henry bid then great but even of it gets used on a Henry bid we are getting an extra first round pick and it seems to be a pretty even spread till about 25.
I think we need more players who are still going to be quality all first/early second.

Gotta agree with Taylor. I’d rather 3 elite kids. Let Henry be chewed up by 3rd and 4th rounders.
Amazing would be to get 3 picks before Henry. But I don’t think it can be done.
Gross
Affectionally known by tigers fans as Menaspew, who somehow can’t get a gig over Castagna says it all
Chatting with a Richmond mate he said Menadue is quick, with questionable skills.
So this is a pass from me.
