A few thoughts.I would say we might lose a couple of players for late picks with points to try and bridge the gap.
It all depends on where the bid comes too. In a dream scenario if North took Horne and GWS bid on Darcy first then we would already have enough points I think.
The alternatives are to try and use a future pick to get into the second or third round this year or we just cop it and go into deficit on our first pick in 2022.
Buy off the Roos ie trade second round 2022 for pick 38. Get the Roos not to bid on Dacios.
That move will get the Magpies enough points.
Roos may want more for the bribe.
