Which is why trading to get up the order this year may not make sense if its quite even after the first 2 picksSpeaking with some recruiters and watching some videos it seems a Top 20 with a heap of maybes. No real locks for me. Every player has a lot of question marks. More than most years
This is where testing and interviews really come into it. At the moment I'm not convinced on anyone and why I think a player like Pickett may jump up to 11
but it does kind of suggest we want a particular player, or access to a cohort of players. Otherwise if we didnt care about access to the upper end I would've thought we would be targetting points for this year and picks for next yearI think a trade with Essendon for 6 would be much more about getting ahead of a Dean bid than really targeting a specific player.

The potential Adelaide trade is interesting...
16 + F1 for 9 + 11 will not work for us in isolation.
I'm assuming 48 + 55 will be part of it as well.
If we pull the trigger on this, then chances are we know when Dean and Ison will be bid on (ballpark).
Let's assume Blue__Balls is correct with the picks we have:
18 + 38 + 43 + 49 + 50 = 1454pts
Pick Points Required Remaining for Ison Pick to match Ison bid 7 1389 65 + 84 = 149 46 (or 1pt deficit if 45) 8 1299 155 + 84 = 239 40 9 1220 234 + 84 = 318 36 10 1148 306 + 84 = 390 33 11 1085 369 + 84 = 453 31 (or 1pt deficit if 30)
We'd want to be very confident Dean and Ison are bid on at around 10 and 35 respectively +/- no more than 2 places...

A few things, we would probably end up with 19 rather than 18 because it sounds like the Suns are trading out their 1st, so that's 50 less points.
Also, once you get to pick #37, points don't matter at all, you just match with your next bid.
But unless we're extremely confident that Ison slides past 36, then we're going to need something else, which would probably be a 2026 F2 that we could live trade back into this draft to match a bid.
We don't have a 26F2, so unless Adelaide give us one in the trade
This is the current state of recruiting - an obsession with what player CAN’T do rather than what they CAN do. A player like Josh Lindsay would be elite if used well within a system. Could be the best kick in the comp in a few years if utilised well.Speaking with some recruiters and watching some videos it seems a Top 20 with a heap of maybes. No real locks for me.

do you have Ison in the top 25?This is the current state of recruiting - an obsession with what player CAN’T do rather than what they CAN do. A player like Josh Lindsay would be elite if used well within a system. Could be the best kick in the comp in a few years if utilised well.
Dyson Sharp could be in the mould of Cripps or Tom Green, but he gets deducted points because the way he plays isn’t necessarily suited to the modern game - even despite the fact you build your midfield around players like him, and he will captain his team one day.
I think the draft is good up until around pick 25. Doesn’t have the Daicos/Reid/JHF star power, but all capable of reaching elite levels. It dies out a bit after that though
Yes I dodo you have Ison in the top 25?
i dont think we have an F2 or F3 (hayward trade and florent trades respectively)To save some consternation, like many on our board I think the trade with Adelaide is being slightly misinterpreted.
It is a poorly written written article, it’s likely to mean the Crows are looking at both picks 9 and 11 but the trade will only involve one of them. 9 for 16 + F1 (Adelaide), probably with your F2/F3 going back for example.
That makes more sense. Thanks for clearing that up.To save some consternation, like many on our board I think the trade with Adelaide is being slightly misinterpreted.

Didn't like Sid & Nancy? Was the first thing I'd seen him in, and have pretty much loved everything he's done since. Brilliant actor.Prefer his Jackson lamb portrayal

Spanner here. They want CDT. Gonna need both to get him.I think a trade with Essendon for 6 would be much more about getting ahead of a Dean bid than really targeting a specific player.
Pick swap with you lads is gaining traction in the media. Personally I still have doubts but doesn’t hurt to theorise.
Hypothetically, if we were to trade with the Bulldogs for 33.
We give: 16, 33 and our F1.
You give: 9, 11 and your F4.
33 would help with an Ison bid i would imagine?
If you want a mix of this year and next year:
We give: 16, 55 (could be 48 if you twist our arm), F1 and F2
You give: 9, 11 and F4
Any thoughts? I come in peace as always.
Essendon already have what they bed for CDT.Spanner here. They want CDT. Gonna need both to get him.
Getting 33 would probably roughly look like:A lot will depend on when the bid for Dean comes.
In your first suggestion (how are you getting 33?), those picks will likely become 19 & 29.
It's probably going to leave us a little short.
Likewise your 2nd offer.
We could live trade your F2 into this year to match an Ison bid, but we're not going to have any points to cover, unless Dean slides a little.
