I am a bit unfamiliar with the limitation on draft picks going into the year linked with list spots but if we only need 3 picks could we try to pick up another later pick and then trade 4 of them to Collingwood for their future 2nd as they are so down on points for daicos? If my calculations are correct our current 4 later picks are worth 766 and if they came last of second last next year their 2nd rounder would be worth about 900 but they need them this year and we need them next. Just a thought. We may even be able to ontrade it next year for more points.
 
Any chance of us getting Samson Ryan? Remember him being ex academy. Watched him destroy us in the VFL this year and couldn’t believe we didn’t take a punt on him. I think he is out of contract
I would classify him as similarly advanced or raw as Smith and Lane.
 
Some people say they like King's analysis. What they're actually liking is the analysis Champion Data give to him to regurgitate. I'm assuming Montagna is in the same boat.

When he makes his own stuff up... well, let's agree that it usually isn't quite as good in quality.
This is one of the most frustrating things about afl. Just give me the dam stats so I can do my own analysis instead of letting these idiots ramble on about nothing.

The main rule for matching is that Collingwood can only take the same amount of picks to the draft as they have available list spots.

So if they have four available list spots, then they can only take four picks to the draft.

Our third round picks might have some trade currency, but I doubt our fourth round picks will have much trade currency purely as picks for teams looking for points.

There will be quite a few teams with better picks than ours looking to trade them for future picks.

Richmond might have 2 or 3 picks inside our pick 47 to trade.

If I was another team, I wouldn’t be trading for fourth round picks from teams that won’t use them.

One week before the draft, the final draft order is set. Teams that have picks that they won’t use, lose those picks, and teams with later picks watch their late picks move up the order.

A simple example could be the Western Bulldogs, their second pick is 72 and third pick is 90. Last year saw only 59 picks in the draft. So as all the picks that won’t be used get taken out, the Bulldogs two late picks move up to picks 58 and 59.

I wouldn’t be trading for any picks in the 50’s if I know that teams that can’t use their excess picks, will simply have those picks removed from the draft order.

thanks Briztoon that makes a lot more sense and you are right others have a lot more draft capital than we do.
 
Someone who i have always liked and think worth looking at- Will Brodie, Out of contract next season would cost a 3rd Rounder, 189cm big body mid dominated VFL this year. Thoughts?

For Brodie it'll end up like a move from Gold coast 2s to our 2s which even he shouldn't consider.

He'll be competing with CEY to be honest.
 
The recruitment of Lane just perplexes me unless we thought he was close to being able to handle himself ok at AFL level.

If we keep him on the list I don't think we'll recruit another ruck.

I've put it down as club thinking we need a ruck, we didn't like the mature options in mid-season draft, ok let's at least select a project ruck so we are covered long term.

We took Lane when having Archie, Fullarton and HSmith. Since Archie's out now I think we'll have another go at a mature replacement.
 
Interesting... Adam Treloar's partner re-signs for a further 2 years.

Damien suggesting in his "if n then"column on AFL.com that Neale to Freeo is not over and could happen in the dying minutes of the trade period.....interesting.

Still conflicted with Neale. I guess nobody is safe if the offer is good enough.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if something does go down though, wouldn't be surprised at all. It will be interesting to see if we are involved in any other trades in the lead up to that last half hour.

The statement from Neale made sense to take the media pressure (social and mainstream) off him and his wife. I won't be fully convinced he's staying until after the trade period ends.
 
It would not shock me if something happens.

With Ashcroft next year it makes a trade next year exceptionally unlikely given the picks would be basically worthless. So if he has flagged that he still might want to go back then something happening this year would not be a surprise as this is when value could be gained.
 
The only way it happens now is if the offer is too good to refuse. That won't happen. Let's move on.

Yep, Neale is not going to ask for it again unless Fremantle are 110% confident of getting it done. We'll be interested only if its heavily favored in our way. I don't see both of these working together. So this is just Damo throwing darts as usual.
