Probably unders for both, I'd have thought. Each worth a late first/early second, not sure 15 for both gets it done.
Your future round pick you gave us would have been around pick 16 in this coming draft.
When we on traded it to GWS to get Marchbank and Pickett we also got given back a pick around 34 for this coming draft, so in a sense Marchbank and Pickett was traded for less than a pick 16 value.
These are same two clubs involved so it will be around the ballpark.

Kennedy + smith > marchbank + pickett.
So i think 15 for both is unders. Having said that it wont surprise me if it ends up happening, maybe with some extra sweeteners added somewhere

Pickett was seen as a steak knives inclusion given his 2 knee recos.
GWS rates Kennedy and Smith a lot higher than they did Pickett.
Yep, it is around where I see it going.
I rate Dev the highest value of the 4 players but Kennedy lowest. (I know less about him to rate higher)
Ahern 2 knee reco's. Pickett a foot injury.
We shall see and your knowledge of Pickett is very sketchy it seems.
Ahern is the guy with knee recos.

Pickett was closer to the salary/list space dump after the AFL rule change last season - guy on a very decent wage in 2017, hadn't shown a heap, alleged attitude issues, foot injury of unknown severity (Ahern was the 2x knee injuries), to the point where Marchbank was probably cheaper because of the inclusion of Pickett rather than any increase in the value.
The pair of them had played something like 5 total games in 4 combined years, hadn't they?
I think it was more a case of GWS just cut their losses with his foot injury to that date and the fact he was out of contract and they knew the salary squeeze was well and truly on that they simply could not keep all their talented players. It was just a pragmatic decision and ultimately GWS was hoping to get more, but when push come to shove they just accepted the two players were leaving and get a deal done. Pickett has serious talent but as he had not made his debut yet because of foot problems they had no real way of getting what he was worth in terms of true talent.
They also accept already Dev and Kennedy are going. Just a matter of for them, trying to get the balance of a good deal for themselves and getting those players to clubs they prefer.

I'm sure it's very easy to find out so I wouldn't want to step on your toes.
Marchbank was getting selected preferentially to some of the other KPD options, e.g. Corr. I remember this because I was surprised and then impressed. Unfortunately he got injured but he looked pretty good out on the field for GWS.
I don't think Pickett got selected at all.

Pickett was under contract.
Yeah, AFL changed their rules part way through the year so guys like Pickett and Ahern got squeezed out in order to lose as few as possible from the best 22.

I think he kind of does play as an outside mid. He's always named as a half forward, and typically has played a role like an old school running half forward.
No doubt in 2015 he was an outside mid, but has changed a bit to meet team tactics. He's our best field kick outside of Wilson, but can be a bit shaky at goals.
I've loved watching him hit up forward targets on the chest from 50m.
Not sure that is correct but even if it was, they needed salary reduction in readiness for re-signing guys like Hopper and Kelly this year. I am quite happy Devon Smith has popped out from the squeeze this year. I been keen for over 12 months to get him or Hopper.
Next step is actually getting a deal done.
Ned Guy has just been named list manager at Collingwood.
The same Ned Guy that manages Smith?

I'd be very surprised if he doesn't end up at the Pies now.
Buckley has ties to him through coaching at Jnr level as well and he's apparently very close with Taylor Adams.

We be Red Hot Favourites as with his Manager working at Collingwood and his Best Mate there.
Surely there is AFL rules against this?
if smith does nominate the pies this new development doesn't help them. in fact I can see Matthews being his usual flog self and making it difficult.
