Menegolas becoming a very good player and is worth way more to us than we'd get in a trade.
I dont think well try and live trade up unless our FS bids come earlier than our R1 and wr need to tactically get around it. I expect minimal movement from us mainly fringe guys like thurlow murdoch ghs out for not much, we wont trade any quality players for picks unless we get a well overs offer for kelly, bring in one or two FAs (probably Dahlhaus) have a live R1 and our later picks for FS.
Well I have no real knowledge but it would not surprise me if did partake in a trade.
Lets say we dumped our R2 to ensure we did have to use it on Brownless or Scott .. now with in draft trading we can trade in and use the pick immediately .. so its not rel. to points usage.
For example ..one scenario...
we trade someone out for a future pick , it then gives us the option to use that future pick to get into the draft at a convenient time.
I know what you said about Menegola.. I'll use him only as an example. We trade him to Freo for their Future R2 , we then in draft have the ability to trade in with an amiable team..perhaps Gold Coast for P28 ...
