Assuming no change picks 45,46,49,72 are equal on points to pick 19 if our guy gets bid on. If he lasted another round to say pick 37 there’d be pick 37 worth of points left over
But of course we wouldn’t have picks in the 30s unless we traded up for it. Could see that happening

in any case the one off ruling to Hoover up picks without list spots has given us 300 to 630 extra points depending on the number of live picks we take in

630 equivalence is around pick 30

Considering that Geelong enter this years draft at Pick 59 or something along those lines and also have 3 Second Round Selections next year, I'd be looking to trade them Pick 24 for both Essendon's and GWS's 2021 Second Round Selections.

Surely they'd bite?
Why would Geelong do this? Next years draft is not compromised so why give up 2 x 2nds in 2021 for 1 this year.

Wonder which DFAs we're taking later this week. We've got quite a few list spots open
Hopefully Ryley Stoddart and Ed Phillips. Both runners that fit our age demo.

I also liked Stoddart in that year's draft and Myles Poholke in his year and Fraser Turner in 2018.
All are avail if we think they have something to offer. I'm thinking it could be Oscar McDonald though for insurance down back perhaps?

Both players incapable of getting games at rabble clubs - easy pass for me 😎
 
Not sure you're going to find many DFAs coming from good clubs and getting regular games.....

Quite correct, however if the only reason to look at them is because they can run then we might as well have just kept Billy Hartung 😂

Depends if running is what we need.

Every club has different wants/needs and every club is in a different position regarding their premiership window

Exactly, depends on the club they're coming from and the role they play. Clubs can be weak and still have a glut of talent in one area, meaning blokes can be thrown off a list despite having good footy left in them.

Most likely to be traded in those circumstances, like Tom Phillips

Not necessarily - clubs might simply refuse to trade knowing that they can pick them up for nothing through the draft, PSD and delisted free agency period anyway.

We did with Henderson, North did to get Hartung from us (lol) and the Swans did it to get Menzel.

Totally agree, however both players he mentioned couldn't even manage a game with rubbish sides.

I'm not buying too much into St Kilda's final ladder position either seeing how they were kissed on the wood with their hub situation.

If there's a DFA from a good club then they chances are they couldn't get a game due to depth of the list.

Both these boys don't meet that criteria given their respective sides are average and not really any better than ours.

Would rather keep Moore before chasing Stoddart, although Phillips might improve with us similar to Ricky Henderson which would be alright.

Thought we were discussing GOOD players?
 
Harry Jones and Mat Walker have been delisted. Looks like we are after 5 new players. Hope they both get picked up elsewhere. Dylan Moore will be a rookie next year. CJ has been elevated only because he's been a rookie for the max time allowed. Brooksby signed as a rookie for next year. Looks like we will be picking up 1 or 2 players in the DFA.

Does anyone think that Essendon would be silly enough to trade 4 and 24 for 8 and their future 1st at all?

Surely they'd consider it?
