Some talk Richmond will look to trade out 17, which I expect will be 21 come tomorrow night.

Given they'll probably win the flag again and they'll back us in to be worse, maybe we could trade our future first for 21 and their future first 😂

Would have to be after a Reef bid is made and matched of course

Geez, we are terrible poker players!

What’s with telegraphing all our moves and thereby looking desperate and undermining their value? Hine has just told all Clubs what we want/need to do and they’ll now know that they can offer unders on a “take it or leave it” basis and as the clock runs down we’ll probably flinch and accept.

Why not just publicly shut the hell up and then be judged when the dust settles???

Instead, Hine has now told all Pies supporters and rival Clubs that the pass mark is getting 4-5 picks in this year’s top 40. So they’ll probably have to sell the farm in terms of 2021 (and 2022?) picks to hit that target, because after the Treloar and Stevo trades debacle can’t afford to look foolish again.

It really is amateur hour down at the Holden Centre!

I can't get past the firewall, but it sounds like they missed the point where he said that there will only be about 40-43 picks taken in the draft. Thus he wasn't saying we'll be desperate to trade in order to get that many picks in the top 40 - we already have them.

Live picks. There’ll still be 50+ the others will just be NGA and FS.

Yeah, but Dekka was selling our position so he was saying only 40 and we'll have 5 picks in that top 40. He wasn't saying he was going to trade those lower picks up into the top 40. He did sound like he was going to try to trade the higher ones up though. But pretty hard to do that wihtout letting the other clubs know that you want to trade the higher ones up. It's only the Reef bid that could cause us to get ripped off in a trade, he sounded like he was trying to talk him down a bit, so I do think there might be a bit of ducks and drakes being played, like you were suggesting the other day.

Ah, OK, my mistake. Thanks for clarifying.

Exactly right.
Dekka says that there is likely to be only 40 to 43 "live" picks in this draft and that we will draft 5 (maybe 6) of them.
That isn't giving anything away as described on previous page.
It shows us that our position is stronger than it first seems.
If we can do some good business with our 21 first - we could set ourselves up nicely.

Yes, I'm still looking at a half-full glass,
and not one of Stevo's drinks I hope.

LuckyLee, try to stay positive despite these last few weeks.
 
For those wondering about Conor Stone. Think Brayden Cook minus a 2020 season. He was ahead of Cook at the start of the year, with almost identical measurements and athletic capabilities playing forward and pinch-hitting on the wing.

What's your take on Laurie Bailey. Looks really classy, but is he a touch slow for small forward?

I don't think Laurie has a lack of speed to the point it will impact him. He's not elite, but he's probably still above average compared to others, but below what you'd expect from a small forward. Given he's on that higher point of the 170s (towards 180) he has the ability to play further up the ground, so I don't see it as a problem. I know a number of clubs have him rated in the first round, and I think on upside, he certainly could be. On-field he has enough evasion to take the game on and not get caught. Has the footy smarts to make the right decisions as well. I wouldn't be disappointed if we took him though, he's a good little player.
 
Do you guys believe the Pies would have a genuine interest in Richmonds #17 ?

If that scenario above were to be carried out where the pies get 2 picks before reefe and richmond bidding getting the tigers pick could be suitable and pies could have effectively 3 inside 20+reefe.

Going to be an interesting night - Good luck guys

I'd do that deal without even thinking even though you get a better draft pick next year
