As in giving them pick 16/17 for the GWS crew or obtaining 16/17 to use in the draft?

Our spine is set Mids next be patient guys don't forget before Bolts got the job list was deplorable Stay tuned hopefully couple of more surprises
Getting it back was my take ie we still have a sub 20 pick
Thank you Sir. And, would it be a straight 5 for 5, or might there be another pick in play, too?

As in trading for that pick and using it to buy the 5 or getting it back from GWS?
Get a late first rounder for Tuohy somehow, 15/16 back from GWS and package them plus Everitt and Graham for #4 from Gold Coast.
is kennedy confirmed? Looking at age/list profile of GWS - perhaps matt buntine or devon smith might be on the cards as the 5th player?

So this is the 5 that we've deduced from barrass70's comments.? ie all could be fit by round 1, does that fit for Pickett does anyone know how his rehab is tracking? I would be happy to see Pickett involved as he seems to have a high ceiling.. shame Ahern isn't involved too...

Overall I like these guys.
We are rebuilding our list ans all of these are upgrades I think.
We all think we have too many talent issues re: Jones, Tutt, Whiley, Graham and Everitt types so we need to upgrade this pool of players.
It will take another 2 to 3 years to get us where we want.
I honestly don't think 1 player picked at 5 will improve us overall.

GWS have pick 16 whilst Sydney has pick 17 - so a potential deal with Sydney also on the cards?

No, you need to look longer term. What benefits us longer term:
pick #5 - gun midfielder or a bunch of fringe players?
Go ahead and answer that. Where are our young talented mids going to come from in the next 2-3 years? IF we don't trade away next year's 1st pick for 6 GWS players next year and IF we pick 1 midfielder up with it, it will take him 2-3 years to develop. By then Murphy and Gibbs will be finished and we will have who after Cripps? Kerridge?
We should have taken pick #5 to the draft and picked up the best mid available. Heck, we should've tried trading next year's first for pick #6 this year after GC get it from Richmond. That way we take #5 and #6 to the draft and pick up Brodie and Taranto/Scrimshaw.
That way we can actually develop a midfield over the next few years. That's long term planning. Not ****ing quick fixes with average players. Apart from Cripps we have no talented young mids. Zero.
How many of those 5 GWS players are talented young mids? None.
This year's draft is a midfielder's draft. With no early pick we will not get a quality mid. In 3 years time, Cripps will probably be burned out having to carry the midfield all that time.
Our backline is already solid enough. Rowe could be replaced down the track, JGM could make it. We don't really need Marchbank, certainly not for our top pick.
Our forward line needs work, but C.Curnow, Silvagni and McKay is a pretty good start, just need to give them a few years together.
But no midfield for years to come mate. I am thinking long term and without a midfield we are no chance of winning a flag.
Sumner could be wildcard don't think ever done pre season highly regarded
I know people are skeptical, but Marchbank and Corr are probably worth Pick 5. This is a one time only opportunity to capitalise on GWS having to reduce list numbers and cap space and we're ballsy enough to take it. I've closely watched this year's draft pool and it's as deep as we've ever seen. History will be the judge, but I strongly believe this is a really good play and one that'll pay off big time. It'd be really easy to sit back and go 'Well, this didn't work before, let's play it safe." That's how mediocrity creeps in.

Pick up Powell-Pepper with 16/17. Ready to impact immediately. If we get both picks, Venables may slide that far or Gallucci.

If we get the 5 players and a pick in the teens back, we'll be laughing. What many here are refferring to as fringe players are of equivalent value to mckay, Curnow and cuningham who seem like fringe because they've hardly played in our best 22.

Spot in the midfield on the cards?

Sumner has midfield attributes. Great speed, good tackler, wins one on ones. His lack of accumulation is problematic. Maybe a proper pre-season might make him a wingman

Agree, if we get the 5 players that ODN hypothesized I think that alone for 5 would be worth it..just. Getting a pick back in the teens would be MASSIVE, as many have stated the draft is even between 5-20 we will still get a very good midfielder with that pick
always fan of Marchbank reminds of Rance with agility and skills and can play forward
Heaps of mids till pick 30

If that was the case, why are GWS so keen on taking #5 from us? They have #7, #15 and #16 already.
From about 10-20 it evens up. But the top 7 or so are a clear cut above the rest.

GWS want to get ahead of academy bids so they get those and top end talent.
They may trade 5 and 7 for 1 as they want McGrath.

I don't see how anyone could be unhappy with this "5 for 5" deal...
It's fairly simple math really...
At draft, pick 5 gets you one very good young player.
GWS deal, pick 5 gets you five very good young players.
I'd say, it's a pretty amazing result if it eventuates....
