What later picks do you think will get those trades done?
Id think Sav could mean we get away without using our R1 in the Bruhn trade.
PO has been adamant I'm wrong about this for a while haha, but I still think Stanley retires due to how much we managed him this year with injury, and we just go in with Ceglar, Blics and Conway as our ruck options next year. I also think Rohan could retire too if he wants to go out on a high - and we get Ollie Henry/want him to play a lot next year. Then someone like Sam Simpson gets delisted and re rookied, and all of a sudden that's 3 extra spots
Id think Sav could mean we get away without using our R1 in the Bruhn trade.
18 will be used. Give that to gws and get some change back, say 39… as you say they won’t need later picks and bruhn is not worth a first rounder outright.
Next we use 36 + 39 plus maybe another (46) to Essendon (depending on their list spots but we’re in a good spot to trade with them) who need points for Davey for 22. Give 22 plus maybe 54 for Henry. Worst case if that doesn’t work, use a future R1 for Henry plus something back.
Lots of options.
But one thing is for sure, there is NO WAY we should be doing anything with 7 other than taking it to the draft. We won’t get a chance like this for probably another decade.
This.
No R1 if we give Sav I would think. Bruhns value is overrated. Look at the Caldwell trade for value.
Separately to this, I actually think Sav will make a really good defender. Liam Jones style with his athleticism. I hope he stays
Talking about Walker, if we lose Sav, it seems likely that North are going to dump Walker, he'd be good depth for KPD as a Rookie
Nah.. thats almost zero advantage to trading Sav. May as well take him out of the trade.. and keep him as possible KPDNah that would be robbery sav is worth a 3rd at best and i think 36 and a 3rd is unders for bruhn.
Id say 18 and sav and at best we get a future 2nd back with bruhn (maybe a 3rd).
If we can work the future 2nd or 3rd into the henry or bowes trades its still a net win for us.
I actually love the look of busslinger personally and would love him and SDK side by side for a decade. Would set us up for the bedt defence almost gyaranteed for a decadeIf Bruhn and Bowes turn up we'll have 4 1st round mids with Stephens & Holmes the other 2.
With another 3 in Parfitt(24) Knevitt(25) Willis(32) being 2nd rounders.
Those 7 players indicate we have/or will invest/ed heavily in mids in recent years.
Where as we have drafted 1 Key back (SDK) 1 Key forward (Neale) and 1 Ruckman (Conway)
I guess the art of list management will show its hand whether we draft or trade for missing links.
All i will say is when u have the best forward sitting at Pick 7... do u take him or the 5th best mid?
Take the best at his position is my view.
Aaron Cadman in the No. 4 kicking left footed snags would be a sight!! lol.
Cheers
Spots on the list surePO has been adamant I'm wrong about this for a while haha, but I still think Stanley retires due to how much we managed him this year with injury, and we just go in with Ceglar, Blics and Conway as our ruck options next year.

Surely the odds of getting bowes getting smaller
so many offers from other clubs with big sal cap space like Ess and North.... I doubt he will be losing money thru a smooth out.

NORTH IN BOWES MIX
NORTH Melbourne is another club showing its interest in Gold Coast midfielder Jack Bowes and the Suns' pick No.7 combo.
The Roos have the salary cap space to accommodate Bowes' remaining two years of his back-ended deal with the Suns and are understood to be among the clubs keen to pursue the 24-year-old.
The 83-gamer will meet with a number of clubs in the coming days as he makes a call on where he wants to play, with Geelong, Essendon, Hawthorn and Brisbane also showing their interest in him. St Kilda, too, has looked at Bowes.
He's waiting on Geelong.The Ollie Henry situation is quite intriguing, journos still seem uncertain about whether he’s staying or going. He’s either genuinely undecided or his manager is playing his cards very close to his chest.
Pies’ B&F is tonight so it’s possible he will hold onto his trade request until after then, if he is leaving.
I think he’ll end up at the club that will pay his contract as is. He’s a fringe player at one of the poorest clubs he doesn’t know if he’ll get another contract let alone one like he has.Surely the odds of getting bowes getting smaller

Any talent we look to attract / trade in should be coming to us based on a desire to be part of a winning system - and particularly for the younger ones, that may include spending time in the twos learning the Geelong way until they earn their spot in the best 22. They should recognise that they will get their shot given the need to rotate our older players ahead of the big wave of retirements that will start end of next year, and they will be better placed by learning from the best in the meantime.
If anyone is solely focused on big dollars or being ‘guaranteed’ senior game time from day 1, they belong somewhere else. That goes for Bowes, Bruhn, O Henry or anyone else (eg. Hopper).

And Geelong are waiting on a few other things.He's waiting on Geelong.
I think he’ll end up at the club that will pay his contract as is. He’s a fringe player at one of the poorest clubs he doesn’t know if he’ll get another contract let alone one like he has.
So he’ll be wanting to secure the money he is owed.
That might mean Geelong misses out because we don’t want to take the contract like that.
Can’t argue with the contract structures we use but I think it’d be a mistake to not take this deal. It gives us two chances to add a really good player to the list.
