I reckon that Davey situation could potentially be bigger than a F3.A couple of questions:
- What could we potential milk out of Essendon if we threaten a bid on Davey? Would they throw in a F3 (maybe get a F4 back) to swap picks #24 and #25?
- How high a selection could we realistically get our hands on for pick #39 + F2 (tied to Brisbane). Potentially Sydney’s #27?
Let's say no bids come for him by 24 (only 2 picks away).
If we let it be known to Bombres we're going to bid on him, they'll basically lose 25 in matching and be left with a few rubbish picks at 50+.
If we trade 24 for 25 they'll get a George, Cowan, Hayes or similar as well as Davey.
That is worth a lot to them, if we also chuck in our lower picks (we won't be using )to help match the eventual Davey bid, it could be worth Bombres F2 to them.
Sacrificing 1 pick place and some useless low picks in exchange for a 20-24 pick in a strong year would be a nice result.
Taking 3 picks inside 24 in a hot draft next year would be pretty good.
