Having traded our first rounder next year in the Kelly trade are we even allowed to trade another future pick?

You dont think WC gave away enough the TK deal...With an aging JK... what are you proposing WC replace a 60 goal 100+ mark mature power forward with?
Yeah I’m pretty sure Sydney did this with us last year and they pretty much gave us a free 2nd rounder for our troubles.
I'd love to see the Carlton fans' reaction if they use pick 9 on Martin, after turning down a trade of pick 9 for Martin + 15.Gold Coast are committed too using picks 1 & 2 in this draft on Rowell and Anderson. If Martin nominates for the draft he may get thru to pick 9 (Carltons first pick). But a lot of others have picks before (Bulldogs , Melbourne etc ).
In a PSD situation Suns will take him first pick. (Would be a top leader in NEAFL - huge depth player).
Most likely though he will sign a 1 year contract - and try his arse off to impress - leading into his free agency year.
Carlton and his management clearly thought he could do what Lynch, May and others have done - play s**t all year but still get to go where they wanted.
Pretty sure Martin won't try Melbourne again after being rejected by both Essendon and Carlton in consecutive years.
Think we should go hard for him next year....
I think the AFL later closed that loophole.
I don't know sorry ....just read a few Vozzo quotes today about our interest in moving up the order .
If geelongs oldies stay fit they'll go alright again next year and they will get a few good draftees too

Mismanagement of his groin injuries and bringing him back too early are his apparent gripesCan understand now why no Clubs like to try and trade with Essendon. What an idiot - they should have grabbed that deal with both hands. Will this make it awkward for Daniher now following all this hoo ha? Also what were Daniher's reason wanting to leave Essendon - you would have thought with the history of Essendon and the Daniher name that he would have been content to play out his career with the Bombers?
Patton, even when fit is bog average

Fremantle keep patting themselves on the back for their trading expertise.Aish is a crab and will soon be shat on by the purple supporters, just like crab Kersten.

Can a club live trade to hide a pick that would be eaten up by an academy bid after the bid is put in?
If they can keep him fit, you can guarantee Hawthorn will get something good out of him.
He has also suffered from being played to his weaknesses rather than strengths to an extent due to the nature and composition of GWS's forward line.
Patton is not a hit-up leading forward and never will be. He is more of a classical full forward that wants to be deep near to goal in a one-on-one marking tussle.
GWS play a largely unstructured attack, with both small and key forwards being used in mobile roles pushing up the ground, allowing midfielders to overlap and be presented with goal scoring options. Patton always was a square peg trying to be fit into a round hole even when not injured.
You can bet Clarkson will not be so wasteful with his talent. I expect to see Hawthorn next season utilising Patton in a similar manner to how Richmond have deployed T.J.Lynch - start him deep, clearing everyone else out up the ground to create one-on-one marking contests, with the subsequent ground ball being attacked by multiples running forward and hitting the contest at pace.
Considering Patton has effectively already done half a preseason now due to his recent antics of training but refusing to play for even the GWS reserves, I would expect that by March he should be well-conditioned and ready to go.
I would not be at all surprised if he were to go on and kick 40+ goals next year.

we're allowed to trade one of our 3rds (ours or Geelong's)
any chance you could post the comments?
I believe you call it an Octimoron kind sirSo... Scott, Scarlett, Wells... Dangerfield, Ablett, Selwood and now possibly Jenkins... What is a name for a collection of massive egos? What a club...
Why do old club pay partial contract to traded players? I don’t quite understand the meaning behind it. Can someone explain?
Plenty of clubs that will have an interest in our future picks, due to number of academy prospects in next years draft." Football manager Craig Vozzo said the club would likely take advantage of the ability to continue trading picks up to and during the national draft ."
" Our guys have spoken to various clubs over the last few days around the possibility of pairing 46 with a future pick in order to get up the order this year , Vozzo told thewest ."
" Thats something we'll continue to explore , there's potential to trade up the order in the period to the draft and on draft night ."
" We want to keep our options as open as we can in this respect " .
Scott Clayton and Rohan O'Brien are our two recruiters accessing the draft options etc .
