point 1. I don't cheer or boo opposition players even if they did play with us. Not sure why you would.
Its about the best deal we can can get. Don't care where he goes if he is going.
Not sure if you don't want Brennan or you don't want him for a pick under 20?
In regard to K.Bradley, maybe you get what you pay for at pick 38. Brennan is at least 18 picks better.

At the end of the day we just need to get the best deal for our club. Brennan would at least provide some kind of a target upforward so it is doubtful we will be able to secure him.
Our earlier interest in Damon White indicates that we are in there seeking a big forward which is ideally what we need.
Would like to keep Jordan but not at the $$ that are being talked about (if true).

Eh?
Power and McMahon - who's the third first-round draftee to leave the club?

what im pretty such saying is that if i had the choice of giving up pick 18 for brennan OR pick 38 for bradley...i would do the latter...as i dont rate EITHER.

AGREE 100%
Agree. And i'd hate to say this...really its pains me. But Bradley is closer to what we need up forward then Brennan.

I don't think Brennan is the answer to our problems but Bradley offers us nothing that we don't already have in Wayde Skipper. Big no to BRadley for mine.

How is a near useless big man with little physical presence "what we need up forward"?
We'd do just as well to keep our pick and try Doogs at FF again.
If we do trade Jordy and get a pick that would get us Brennan, then I would do that. He may not be a big bodied forward and may have consistency issues but we know he can take a mark and kick a goal.
Side by side Brennan is 10x better than Bradley so how is Bradley a better fit for us?
You didn't quote me correctly. I said 'closer' to what we need. I didn't say he was what we needed. And i also took giving up a late teens pick over a late 30's pick in to consideration. We might be able to nab another KPP in the draft with pick 17/18 that could be better then both Brennan and Bradley. At least more consistent then both wouldn't be hard.
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere apart from here. I don't who dreamt this one up?

Sorry for the misquote.
On the other hand we might spend pick 18 on another Jesse Wells.
I'm going with the bird in the hand theory.
I think we're less likely to pick up a player better than Brennan at 18 than we are to pick up a better player than Bradley in Rd 3 too.
If it makes any difference, i doubt we'll get him, despite what texts to SEN might think.

Stopped reading when it describes 2 decent forwards in Boyle and White.
Neither are. These are deals from the Rawlings era. Highly doubt it.

all this talk about trading for forwards. Look at our list, Tiller, Skipper, Minson, O'Shea, Williams and Wight are all capable of developing into key forwards, playing whilst Harris, Everitt, McDougall, Morris and Hargrave down back. We are not lacking the talls, they just need some time in the gym.
We don't need potential talls as we already have them, invest in a superstar forward like McEvoy, Henderson or Grant with pick 5, and a hard at it midfielder with pick 16, like the new selwood.

so if i'v got this right it looks like
McMahon to Rich/Port for pick 18/16
Power to the Roos for a 3rd rounder (36?)
meaning we would have picks 5,16/18, 22, two 3rd rounders,4th round, 5th round
then trading 16/18 for Brennan
pick 22 for Hudson
pick ??? for Callan
is that about on the mark? if so not bad imo
Any other doggie players on the table? Ray Eagleton?

Don't mention names at this time of the year, next thing you know the Hawks will be giving up Veale and Boyle for pick 5 + Higgins, Cooney and Griffen.

You will find that Geelong will accept any of our lower (4th/5th rounder) pick for Callan
