Starting point is 2 first rounders, so I'm predicting we will have 25 and 43 this year, to convert that into GCs pick 11 for instance could be as easy as Lord to Dees for pick 24 or Cats for 35, that gives GC more points then just 11 which they will use for academy bids.

Next is 2026 first , so based on this year that will be sub 8 , so that starts the offer with 2 firsts, 2025 1st pick 11 and 2026 first at pick 8 or less.

Saints will ask for more , but I am not giving 2027 first as that is needed for NGAs and FS in 2027.

So a further player will be needed or we just play hardball.

The complications are if the players wont go , the offers arent forth coming and if we dont get NGA status for Doug, hence we may need to keep our 26 first and therefore the whole thing falls thru.
 
Hasn't hurt us because Berry played an okay game in a 88 point belting, while Dan will probably end September with a premiership medal?
And why should we GAF what Dan does ? Berry had a decent game and looks to be a player… that’s all dude !
 

The last club St Kilda would want to trade NWM to is the Power — so what else can they do?​

As Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera’s stocks have risen, the Saints’ hopes of re-signing him have drifted in inverse proportions. Jon Ralph writes, if a trade is to happen, it will have to get nasty.

If it's steak knives they want we have about 2 dozen.
 
Jon Ralph reckons 3 firsts as bare min, reckons it going to get real ugly, were nasty bad people.

"Prepare for the most complicated, nastiest, most drawn-out trade discussion we have seen in some time."

Did he say why?

2 firsts or walks.

Saints/AFL/Players Association don’t want that.

A few weeks of drama on the other hand sells a lot of airspace.

So Nas goes on holidays somewhere nice with the guys while it gets sorted and we get to listen to a month of BS like this.

So we could end up not using our 1st round pick for 6 to 8 years lol
It’s hard to weigh up.
I don’t think the draft offers as much as it used to with teams swapping picks and players each year.
Norf have been at the bottom for a while and it hasn’t done them much good.
Then you get teams like Geelong that just keep topping up each year and are always around the mark.
It’s all about how you use with what you have at your disposal.
If you give up good picks for someone like NWM you know exactly what you’re getting, a star quality player.
With picks you might get lucky but most probably end up with a Sinn or Berry at best.
Then there is also a possibility you end up with a dud like Moore.

Places it at the Cameron level trade which was 3 firsts, but then also mentions that gws gave two 2nds back in that deal.
