I have stated below how it can happen, my fear is the cats may end up doing this with Crows if we pass on the option or make it clear we are not picking The Pou.
Any number of reasons teams could offer these deals. List spots, win now, etc.
Hard to imagine someone will offer 3 first rounders for our first rounder, why so generous?
I’m with TD on not trading down. The ONLY deal I’d consider is if Saints put their F1 on the table which I don’t really believe they would. However if they did and we really think that Cam Mackenzie is the choice* and he’ll last until pick 10 then of course you have to consider it.
It'd be a F1 or GTFO.I’m with TD on not trading down. The ONLY deal I’d consider is if Saints put their F1 on the table which I don’t really believe they would.

*there would still be a huge risk that he’s not but I’d be confident that if we did trade down it would go:
Pick 7 - Saints - Phillipou / Tsatas
Pick 8 - Geelong - Clark
Pick 9 - West Coast - Gibney
Pick 10 - Hawthorn- Mackenzie
Anyways as I mentioned above I still don’t think Saints will cough up a F1. We’d have to add a F2 so something like:
Hawks get - F1 + pick 10 (Mackenzie)
Saints get - Pick 7 + WB F2
I’d do it but geez that 3 pick wait would feel like an eternity
Don’t mind this.
Apparently the Dees have already offered this to * for pick 4. The talk is that they want Phillipou. If the Don’s don’t take the deal and take Tsatas then it is reasonable that Melb will offer the same deal to GC… who most say are not taking Pou and then to us..
All good, except the magic is with freo f1 not Dees f1.. so that is the one to keep. Trade Dees f1 in your scenario while reminding Swans next yr is a stronger draft
(give a spiel about how 14 this yr is 20 equivalent to 20 next yr )Deal is for 4 + 22.. so if offer comes to us we can give F2(WB) back which would be similar. Don't think GC wants to do that given the Academy kids they have.
Yes that works as well… though would GWS do it? I had written the following for Sh#ts and Giggles but had not intended to post it. Now that you have set up the perfect segue how can I not post it.
drop. 
Thanks for clarifying. Would we do 6 and 24. Not quite as enticing… but maybe. Edit: 6 and 36 … works.
Nice work although we can easily get 35 and 36 for our later picks. If we had 13,15,22,24,35,36,65 assuming no top 10 sliders I would go for 4 of Allan George hotton jones weddle konstanty take someone like D’aloia long magor and trade the other 30s pick as you say then take vickery.Yes that works as well… though would GWS do it?

Trade frenzy. (Chance of happening <1%… chance of being fun to watch >99%)
Hawks trade our later picks for Brisbanes pick 36
Hawks trade pick 6(7) to Melbourne for pick 13(14) and 2 f1s (Freo’s and Melb’s)
Hawks on trade Freo’s F1 to GWS for pick 15(16)
2022:
Hawks take Jefferson at pick 13(14)
Hawks bid on Alwyn … then swap our WB’s f2 for *s pick 22. (Is this allowed? Who cares …it’s fun)
Hawks take Elijah Hewitt / Oli Hotton / Ed Allen / Hustwaite at pick 15 (17)
Hawks take Charlie Clarke / Konstanty / Jones at pick 22 (25)
Hawks take George / Lemmy / Keeler / Van Es / Gruzewski at pick 24(27)
Hawks sell pick 36 to the highest bidder for a future pick
Hawks match on Vickery
2023: the Hawks have gained Melb’s f1.
Not across freo's list but there seems to be a view they will fall off the cliff cause they lack fwds. What do others think and how would you compare the Freo F1 vs the Dees F1. Surely if the Dees get pick6/7, their chances of flag goes high as it will free Petraca to play more fwd while the new recruit gets midfield run.
Yep. Especially knowing full well that the Saints will eventually fall in one big heap at some point throughout the season.
Don't mind the first one as I think Saints crash next year. I understand the thought behind the next two but think we need star power not more good players and those F1s will likely be mid to late teens.
Also we can use North as a way of being able to trade 48 to the Lions.
If they've agreed to trade 40 for Lions F3 as reported, then we can do 41, 48, 50, 52 (1233 points) for 35, 36 (1024 points). In fact it will end up being more of a points gain for them as the later ones come in after Ashcroft and before Fletcher.
Simply trade 48 + 63 (for matching Harvey with) to North for 40.
North trade 48 for the F3 (pre-agreed for their 40)
We trade 40, 41, 50, 52 for 35, 36.
We pick at 6, 24, 35, 36 and potentially cop a deficit on our F3 or F4 to match Vickery (won't be much). 35 and 36 might end up being 39 and 40 after various bid matching, but that's good Munkara fist-pumping range
if Dons don't play ball for pick 22.
