How about this?

Shiel comes for a couple of token picks

Gresh goes to Essendon for Band One
We get pick 13 compo

We sell that pick on to North with their lost love Hunter "LDU BFF" Clark and steak knives player or pick for their compo pick 3.

Does it work legally?

North are loading up on gun kids, and they still hold pick 2, but they need list balance - Clark could blossom under Clarkson and they get their second pick downgraded 10 spots. Hunter played 18 AFL games this year, hes entering his peak years and was a pick 7, all that talent is still there, he is ready to go and can play multiple positions. He contrasts nicely in a team loaded up with teenagers.

Works for us. We don't have any more time to waste on Hunter, our window is sooner than North's. We get Sanders or McKercher plus our original pick 12 for Wilson or O'Sullivan or whomever.

Windsor or Darcy Wilson for our pick 12. If we get pick 13 from Gresh FA, Ollie Murphy as a key defender is a shout. Think Charlie Edwards will slide to the second round and could still be there by the time our pick for Dougal/Coffield comes in or even at 31. Really want Tholstrup though, think he'll be a star.
Think Wilson will be gone before our pick unfortunately
Yeah Ollie Murphy a chance
Clay Hall-with our 2nd pick?
Dougs wants to stay

Spot on. We need to be getting thee younger guys through the midfield now while we still have Crouch and Steele near their best, and Ross on the list.

We can't be giving more time to 30 year olds. As they are retiring, King will be hitting his peak age and we need to get the midfield minutes into the kids now so they will be ready to peak at that time.
Are we actually guaranteeing him game time in the seniors? He’s had injuries. Young kids will get plenty of time in there. How old is Jones? If he was fit he’d probably be playing.

RTB got a lot of games into the kids this season. He mentioned it constantly. I very much doubt he’d be throwing that plan out the window.

Sheil knocked us back last time, 31 y.o, & a shite kick, not worth it.
 
You are trading guys who have been in our best 10 players. Most are unlikely to get a player back as good. Howard cost us a fortune not long ago. Doesn’t give me much faith. All cost us first round picks too. Why is this hand in a s**t draft going to improve on that? It’s a gamble. Our immediate and future success is in the hands of these guys.
Have been and are in our best 10 and 2 different things Gringo.

I doubt many of them will land up going. Doug’s and Gresh our main sources of getting us an improved draft hand.

We are doing it backwards. We shouldn't kill off the rest of the list for it unless we are bottoming out again. We should work out what we want to do most years and then do the opposite and see how it turns out.
Going by our list was the youngest in the 8 , I fully expect us to be pushing for top 4 - bringing in Henry , Dow is giving us more usable depth and losing Gresham is not weakening our depth , its strengthening it with speed and endurance.

On this year. Our kids over achieved and have to back it up while injecting more. To me we are a couple of injuries off bottom 4 as it is and cutting hard just amplifies that. I’m holding the club to account on their decision making. I have no control other than whinging about them. But I’ll be an insufferable I told you so merchant if they **** it up.
 
Pop quiz
How many top 10 B&F finishes have we got out of the following 1st rounders (picks or trades)

Ross
Lee
Hickey
Billings
Dunstan
Acres
Paddy
HughGo
Gresham
Clark
Coffield
King
Howard
Hill
Allison
Nas
Pou
 
If your Mail on Shiel and compo comes off I’ll put on a little hat and gloves to drive Coff to the airport and bring you back a coffee. That’s a great get if it happens
Let’s see.

Everything I’ve shared here has been reported by Twomey Ralph Beveridge etc etc.

So its a good start.

I had no idea a first rounder was attached to this, so I’m not taking credit for that.

But I’ve been genuinely pretty confident with SOS & Gubby appointments to go along with RTB.

So fingers crossed 🤞
 
I don't know who any of these characters are but those names sound like they'd make a superb old timey barbershop quartet.

They'd be crazy to do that.

But if they get pick 11 they might need someone like Howard when McKay leaves.
