You will get to hear the final, sad, outcome tomorrow. I think the only question about it, is what we are getting in return. It is making me a little anxious TBH. I'm not sure if the 'In Bond I trust' thing is working for me tonight.

C'mon mate, bit of faith.
 
You'd think it would have to be either
1. Pick 13 > Broughton and Pick 40 (leaving freo with 13, 17, 60) and leaving GCS with Pick 37, 40, 57; or
2. Pick 13 + Pick 37 > Pick 17 + Broughton (leaving freo with 13, 37, 40) and leaving GC with 17, 57, 87

If option 1 ends up freo would be hoping to throw in a 3rd round upgrade for Roberton to bring down our third pick. If option 2 results GC will be hoping to get a pick in the 40's for Toy or ther 2nd and 3rd picks are looking nasty. Also with option 2 not sure whether freo would try for an upgrade or player swap when it comes to Roberton. For mine I'm not holding my breath that we get anything for Roberton.

I cant see GC pulling themselves out of the first round completely. Option 2 isnt too bad but would rather a slightly higher pick than 37. Maybe as has been mentioned GC can somehow wrangle a deal with Toy to get a pick that is a bit higher than 37. Harley Bennell would be nice :D

The last bit's just silly:)


And yes I would want more than 37 as our 2nd pick.

C'mon we are due to take advantage of another club, for a change, aren't we?
 
definitely possible. GC might be willing to part with 13 for a quality, mature player. GWS showed a balance of youth and experience is essential.

Trouble is it was only yesterday that they said that getting another pick in the first round (13) will allow them to pick up another quality kid.
 
It all depends what the 13 turns into and if the 13 is actually a straight swap...I'm nervous

Don't you feel alive though? This is what we are losing having Ross as coach, that holy **** what is going to happen moment, we used to get it every weekend of the season, it has become a thing of the past, and this, this is our time to live! Take risks and back ourselves in to better our list! We sit on the precipice of a great unknown, peeps, great risks reap great rewards.*












*Or another addition to our long list of tragic failures.

(Hey look Reggie we haven't completely sold our soul to the devil...:D:thumbsu:)
 
13 for Broughton is good, but will 13 get us Shaw?
Brisbane have pick 8 and are likely to be on the lookout for a tall forward.
In fact looking at the current draft order, either the Lions or the Tigers could beat us in the hunt for Shaw

i guess at the rate their kids are leaving they might wanna reload. broughton is instant, consistent quality for another 4 or 5 years, though, and they leak goals like a sieve. can't wait to see what comes out in the wash.

Considering GC basically received pick 13 as overs for Hickey it would be good of them to let us go to us. Would basically be Hickey for Broughton which is an overall win for them.

There is a fair chance as the expansion clubs want to prove that they can get established players from other clubs. Something that GWS are currently struggling to do.

Yeah. I'm sure Bondy wouldn't give up Broughton lightly. And he is King.
 
Our gm Ashcroft declared pick 13 will be used by us in the draft.

For Broughton I think it will be a pick in the 40 range + a player. Maybe Jolly?

Any chance you can throw in Spurr and Silvagni also? Haha I wish...
 
Hey Guys
i don't post often but am an avid follower.A decision will be finalized tomorrow at 9am that 'will be good for the club and good for the player'. That's all I have so sweet dreams tonight!
