Saints won't give up their future 1st with Ben King unsigned.
If anything we should dangle our future 1st for pick 9.
Except they have already said that they want to trade in this draft. The Saints have 8 list spots free with picks 9 62 66 67. So ideally need to move up the draft. Could split their pick 9, but the second half of the first round so even I can't see that happening.

The only currency to trade in early is their future first round pick. Pick 27 & 28 potentially could give them 2 hits before the academy bids. They can use 2023 picks to get Ben King if that eventuates.
 
Pick 9 would be tempting but I doubt they will put that up as an option. More likely their second or third round future picks I would think. I would be happy to trade 38 and 40 for a future second. Gives us three second round picks and a first so we can really attack next year and still have 4 quality picks this year.
For sure.100% into getting as many future picks as possible.Surely we can't have 3yrs in a row of covid interuptions to under age level.

AFL Draft 2021: The standouts and all the stats from the Under-19 national championships
Which AFL Draft prospects stood up on the national stage at the under-19 carnival? See the 12 standouts, plus SuperCoach points, exclusive stats and leaders in each key area.

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (South Australia)
After a strong finish to the year at SANFL and national level, the 187cm wingman looms as this year’s draft bolter. The Glenelg product only played the first two matches against WA but his kicking was a class above. Wanganeen-Milera, the nephew of Port Adelaide and Essendon great Gavin Wanganeen, was SA’s best in the championships opener at Lathlain Park, dancing around his opponents and delivering with precision. He may have only had 15 disposals again but the athletically-gifted teenager then showed off his incredible balance, setting his teammates up on either side of his body, in the grand final curtain raiser. Some now view Wanganeen-Milera as SA’s second-best prospect behind Jason Horne-Francis.

Angus Sheldrick (Western Australia)
Meet the late bolter coming with a bullet. Not only did Sheldrick average a formidable 23 disposals, 16 contested possessions and two goals per game in the WAFL Colts finals series for runner up Claremont, the relentless midfielder also ranked first for disposals and contested possessions per game at the national championships for Western Australia. The 179cm prospect’s best-on-ground performance in the final game capped a dominant back half of the year, kicking the sealing goal and tallying 29 disposals, eight clearances, five tackles and 128 Champion Data ranking points. His ability to win contested ball and distribute it cleanly, cover the ground with his strong tank and hit the scoreboard – slotting two goals in a matter of minutes in the WAFL Colts grand final - have seen his draft stocks rise rapidly. Has he worked himself into the top half dozen prospects in his state?

Matthew Johnson (Western Australia)
Johnson was arguably the most consistent Western Australian performer across the championships, but it was his showing on the grand final stage that elevated his draft standing. With key midfielders out on the day, Johnson moved into the engine room and thrived with his composure and creativity with the ball, finishing with 20 disposals, nine tackles, five clearances, 123 ranking points and the best-on-ground medal draped around his neck. His best position is believed to be as tall, smooth-moving inside midfielder, but his decision making allows him to be used as a wingman, where he played in the opening championships match. The 191cm prospect averaged the most score involvements and ranked second for ranking points and tackles per game across the carnival at the carnival. Another in the mid-late first-round range.

Shaye Linke (South Australia)
Linke was overlooked for the opener against WA, despite strong form in the SANFL for Central District, but the 190cm midfielder more than made his mark when the opportunity came. Splitting his time between the forward line and midfield in his two matches against the Sandgropers, Linke made great decisions in traffic, found the footy in space and took a number of strong marks overhead. And, as they did at senior level this year, Linke’s defensive attributes and toughness stood out, with the 18-year-old tallying 12 contested possessions and eight tackles in an impressive performance in the final game on Sunday.

Blayne O’Loughlin (South Australia)
The Crows confirmed they wouldn’t be nominating NGA prospects O’Loughlin and Isaiah Dudley ahead of November’s draft, given the club has already filled its two Category B rookie spots. But O’Loughlin’s performance for South Australia across the carnival further enhanced the thought he’s likely to find an AFL home regardless. The playmaker was the Croweaters’ best on grand final, finishing with 22 disposals, 413 metres gained, five intercepts and 137 ranking points. His kicking was outstanding, short and long, across the four games – with 46 of his 58 kicks effective - and he continually cut through the opposition’s defence, rolling quickly onto his damaging left-foot. The 171cm defender was also sound defensively, proving coach Tony Bamford’s pre-carnival comments to be true. “He’s tough and strong and you can trust him deep,” Bamford said in August.

Alastair Lord (South Australia)
The dashing Norwood defender is eye-catching. He made a strong start to the year, before injury saw him miss most of the SANFL under-18 season. But he’s made an impressive late run which continued in SA’s final two matches of the under-19 carnival. The 180cm Lord only had 14 and 16 disposals against the Allies and WA, respectively, but he doesn’t need a lot of the ball to make an impact. He broke the game open with his blistering pace out of defence against a makeshift Allies side last week, before highlighting his ability to do similar by foot against WA. He’ll get another chance to remind recruiters of his top-end traits after receiving a late invite to the draft combine.

Jacob van Rooyen (Western Australia)
One of the leading key forwards in the pool with 34 goals in nine WAFL Colts matches for Claremont, van Rooyen transformed into a versatile swingman after a successful trial in the opening two championships clashes. van Rooyen’s ability to win and neutralise one-on-one marking contests as a key defender was first rate, hauling in eight marks as one of the best performers in the full-strength first game in August. It makes the powerful 194cm tall an even more attractive prospect for clubs, pushing himself into top 20 calculations. A big game player, van Rooyen drifted forward in their second match with South Australia to kick the match-winning goal in the dying seconds. He missed Western Australia’s win over the weekend with an elbow injury but, like Claremont teammate Sheldrick, excelled during the WAFL Colts finals series. Van Rooyen booted 11 majors in three games – four of those coming in their grand final loss.

Zac Becker (South Australia)
Becker hardly put a foot wrong across the four matches, highlighting his ability as a tough, rebounding defender, who is equally as effective in the air as he is on the ground. Becker, who drives the ball forward with a penetrating right-foot, had 16 disposals or more in three games, and averaged six intercepts – two of them marks – and five rebound-50s. But, as he’s done for Scotch College through his junior career, the 190cm Becker had an impact at the other end of the ground, too, booting three goals from three contested marks in the final quarter against the Allies.

Rhett Bazzo (Western Australia)
He might have played just the one championships game but it was a significant one at that. The key 195cm defender was voted as the top performer by a host of club recruiters and talent scouts after tallying 18 disposals at 82 per cent efficiency, 11 marks (five of those intercepts) and 100 ranking points in the opening championships clash. His strong overhead marking and ability to read the play was on full display and helped him enter the top-30 frame. Bazzo was another strong performer in the WAFL Colts grand final in his role on the dangerous van Rooyen, managing to quell his influence after quarter time.

Jack Williams (Western Australia)
While WA talls Jye Amiss, van Rooyen and Bazzo have had most of the fanfare, Williams showed he is also among the best key-position prospects in the pool in his two championships matches. The 195cm key forward has an elite endurance base, allowing him to outwork his opponent on the lead – taking five marks in this fashion in the opening game - and is a strong marking presence. He thrived while pinch-hitting in the ruck in the final clash of the carnival, clunking contested marks up the ground and finishing with 16 disposals, seven marks, two goals and 132 ranking points. On average, Williams ranked fourth for ranking points, sixth for score involvements and ninth for contested possessions at the championships.

Matthew Roberts (South Australia)
There was plenty of hype surrounding the South Adelaide ball magnet heading into the opener against WA, after his dominant under-18 performances led to a senior debut. And, while he didn’t set the carnival alight – either side of a two-goal performance in South’s senior preliminary final – Roberts got the job done. He ranked second for ranking points (112), third for contested possessions (10), fifth for disposals (21.3) and seventh for score involvements (4.7) in three matches which underlined his ball-winning ability, clean hands, workrate and footy IQ.

Arthur Jones (Western Australia)
A largely unknown quantity leading into the championships, Jones put himself on the map after being brought in for the grand final curtain raiser. The livewire forward-midfielder finished with 16 goals and two goals in a breakout performance, headlined by a running goal from the 50m arc where he showcased his blistering speed and agility. In his next match over the weekend, Jones produced several eye-catching moments, including a stunning run down the wing with several bounces and an attempted mark of the year contender minutes later, which just slipped through his fingers. Playing on a wing, the 178cm product gathered 14 touches at a tidy 78 per cent efficiency and kicked a goal in another boost for his draft stocks.

Finn Gorringe (Western Australia)
Western Australia’s captain was the leading interceptor across the carnival at an average of 6.7 per game, including 11 against South Australia on Sunday. A reliable 183cm defender, Gorringe finished with 19 touches, five tackles, three intercept marks and 102 ranking points in and rock-solid outing. His defensive attributes are also strong, showing a capacity to consistently beat his opponent and apply pressure. Gorringe played 11 WAFL matches for East Fremantle, where he averaged 11 disposals and 4.4 intercept possessions up against senior bodies.

Pick 9 would be tempting but I doubt they will put that up as an option. More likely their second or third round future picks I would think. I would be happy to trade 38 and 40 for a future second. Gives us three second round picks and a first so we can really attack next year and still have 4 quality picks this year.

Why ?? Their 2nd next year will be around pick #30-#32 range

They need the picks more than we need to off load them with only pick #9 and nothing until 62 and 2 academy kids they need to facilitate pints for.
their 2nd round pick means nothing and has little value and their 3rd will be mid 40's.

The only asset they have is pick #9 this year that has reasonable currency for Richmond
