If we want to get 3 picks in the first 30 methinks that we may have to give a bit to get a bit. Let's look at other clubs and their situation
Brisbane will have 1 academy selection and have delisted 6 players & have 5 picks up to 48 (inc PP). So it is likely they will be looking to draft in existing players or swap pick 2 for picks say 6 & 8 with GCS but by doing so they let GCS into first go at the academy selection and I reckon is unlikely. GCS will have it seems 4,6,8,16,22,23,25,28 and have delisted 2 & moved on O'Mera and Prestia. They will have to let 4 more players go or burn picks in the 20s....unlikely

The only team that I reckon is in a similar position to us is Norf, they have delisted 4 aging champs and they need picks.....like us in the 20s. Our idea of swapping pick 10 for 2 possibly 3 picks in the 20s will be an identical strategy to Norf with pick 11, we will both keep each other honest at the negotiating table.

So give a bit to get a bit....Webster is a good player for our club but we have the emerging White, Rice, DMac, along with Gilbert, Wrighty and Newnes all able to play HBF roles probably surplus and we need more mids! Same with Minchington 13 games this year means that he is AFL standard player, Webster 11 (injured) 50 afl games overall, you can make a case why they would fit into another team. I can see any of these along with Temples & even Sincs being a great addition to Brisbane and to a lesser extent GCS. AFL standard players needing more opportunitiy, we do not have enough spots Bris do!!

So trade with GCS pick 10 (as there is not much difference according to Ameet after pick 6-8) for 16 & 24. Pick 20 for J Web & Minch with Bris.

Steele next year's second with GWS seems the consensus

16,20,24,47 & Steele for Delaney, Curren, J Web, Minch & probably Murdoch (as he is the same player type as Steele) delisted or traded. Keep Lee & Shents for versatility. Chips onto rookie list replaced by Holmes.

Where's that Carlton Campaigner who said he was touring their facilities on the day of GWS' B&F? Mustn't have needed the tour to see the rabble that SOS is creating from the western suburbs of the NSW Capital.

Maybe he went there to find marchbank and try to talk him around from madness

You think a second round pick is not enough?

I dont think you have a 2nd this year do you?

It's a bit hard as GWS dont have picks in the 20s at the moment.

I dont think a future 2nd will be good enough.

Best I can come up with at the moment is something like 16 + Steele for 10. But i dont think GWS will be happy with that. If they had a pick in the low 20s they could give instead of 16, i think that's the sort of deal that it would take.

Then again, GWS are in a unique position with regard to Academy guys. So they may be happy to take multiple 2nds
 
Great result on Jack - fills a need for his type of mid in our side and very young.

After hearing Ameet talk about three picks in the top 30, what are thoughts on this trade with the GCS?

Out: Pick 10 and Armo

In: Pick 8, 22 & 23 plus a swap of later picks in our favour

Pushes us up the draft and gives us access to one of the elite mids that won't be there at 10 plus two more picks in the even part if the draft from 10-30.

Love Armo but he is 29 and our only player with trade value id be keen to let go, especially with Steele coming in to play as an inside mid.

Along with Steele we get three more kids to via the draft to add depth and rotations along with the development of our current youngsters getting more time in the centre square i.e. Acres Gresham potentially freeman

Considering GWS will have quite a few top 20 picks this year I don't think it matter whether the second rounder comes from this year or the next.

We'd want something pretty decent back if we were giving up 10 (similar to the Carlisle deal).

If the want pick 10 it'll have to be with a first rounder coming back.

Pretty sure GWS will be happy with next year second though.

Take a sabbatical from this board for one, single hour and I miss the thing we've been discussing ad nauseum for about a year it seems! Typical :)

Ste(e)llar news!
 
So stoked. Was so impressed by his game against us at Spotless last year. Been a huge fan since.

****, I just want to see Steele, Acres & Membrey (pipe dream) line up in the centre square, every now & then, & just monster campaigners in there :D

Still got to find a trade which the Giants accept. Then Jack still has to recover well from his latest injury. Then Jack still has to actually prove himself as a solid first team player.

Welcome, Jack Still.
