So here is what i think might happen

1. McDonald (Adel)
2. Ugle-Hagan (WBD)
3. Hollands (NM)
4. Grainger-Barass (Syd)
5. Phillips (Haw)
6. Cox (GCS)

Now what i want to happen
Trade 6 and 68 to Adelaide for 10, 40 and 2021 2nd) so they can take Thilthorpe
We now have 7, 8, 9, 40 and 44
Then
7. Perkins
8. Henry

Then trade 9 and and 2 x 2021 3rds to Collingwood for (now) 16 and 2021 first

We then take O'Driscoll with 16 (will be 18 after Cambell amd Jones bids) and use 40 and 44 to match bids for Eyre & Brand.

We walk away with Perkins, Henry, O'Driscoll (all can play R1 2021 btw) and a 2021 draft haul of 2 x firsts, Adelaide 2nd not much else...

Lots of ifs buts and maybes, but here is hoping

Your basically declaring your hand by saying your not interested in Thilthorpe when getting on the blower. So why wouldnt they wait till pick 10 to grab him?
 
What 200cm bas actually worked on the wing?

I must admit i like your strategy. Im hopefuly Cox can eventually make it as a key forward and worst case scenario be an excellent defender. I believe in the same logic. Easiest position in the AFL to play is defense and hardest is as a forward
Cox will be impossible to match up on as a KPF runs all day like N Roo and is ambidextrous

And what 200cm player can run a 6 minute 2ker and kick 50m on both feet, he could be a unicorn.

My scenario is based on Adelaide initiating the trade. If Thilthorpe is a genuine option for pick 1, they will likely want to trade for him if he falls far enough.

We have three top 10 picks and will be in a likely position where the rest of the fab 5 are gone. which means we are most likely to to be willing to trade, but the threat is we can just take Thilthorpe if they dont pony up for pick 7

Even if they were to initiate discussions and we hinted at being interested surely we're declaring our hand regards Thilthorpe?

If your scenario eventuates, I'd get on the front foot and call Adelaide ourselves, tell them to '**** off.' Then take Thilthorpe ourselves.
 
permutations are endless and intriguing.

Could see any of Hollands, Phillips or Thilthorpe slip
Perkins or Cox could see a reach (Cox if the pies move into 5).
3x decent KP options in Reid, Cox & possibly Thilthorpe
Phillips + Perkins could really firm up our midfield.
Could split 8 into 2 later picks and take 4 plus Brand & Eyre.

Any chance a bid for Eyre and Brand doesnt come inside the top 40?

How do The Crows give us pick 10 which nets us picks 7,8 and 9?

id spew up if we passed on Thilthorpe.

What are the chances of you bidding on Reef?

Would love a camera on Ned Guys face!
I want to bid on Jones at 6 would be a perfect fit for us, and scroll to Kochie exploding
 
bit of scuttlebut that Hollands set to slide a little, hawks not interested - potentially due to worries about the knee (they have many similar cases on their list) and or his application on rehab. Who knows if true or not, but, it creates an interesting scenario if hes still alive at the hawk pick - and they take perkins

it may be more of a risk to a team with one pick then to us who has 3

Would be a boon if we can get him.

According to the Hawks supporter I know who has "Contacts"

They are looking if Thilthorpe is there trading 4 to Adelaide for 9 and a one of their seconds to help secure Downie

Or pulling a rabbit out of the hat and going Cox/Perkins

I initially thought 2 mids made sense but how on earth can you pass up 2 kids who are 200cm plus, elite kicks, elite marks and elite runners?

If you could have 8 Dustin Fletchers in your team you would.
