maybe I should have said fun trade period for this draft

when a lot of supporters realize that their club has lost heaps of points due to the NGA / Father-son / free agency movements

the only safe picks would be 1 to 3 in the first round
I’m no expert of how the draft works with the points and other things that change the order but just going by what you’re saying it’s not really doing what it’s designed to do.
What should be a reasonable pick could end up a close your eyes and see where the dart lands pick.

This is where the 2nd change to the draft picks has come into effect this year where a team can trade picks 2 years out (to make up for the short fall in value). Hence all the recent talk in the media about a player being worth 3 or 4 first round draft picks :rolleyes:. Most supporters haven't caught up with this yet.

This trading future picks comes from some bright spark at AFL HQ who follows the NBA, who thought :think: mmmmm.... They can trade future picks that would be good here :drunk: in the AFL. (NBA, they have traded future picks up to 2032 :eek: that is 7 years in advance).
 
When Kym Dillon confidently announced Bergman was leaving Port earlier in the year, I knew he would re-sign.
Dillon is purely and simply a mouthpiece for the Crom. He would have been told to sprout such bs just so the Crom don’t feel left out as they always have to be the centre of attention. Self entitled campaigners.

This narrative around port not having anything to give St kilda is really annoying. What the hell are the crows going to offer that’s better?
yep exactly

the only thing they have of significance bar players is pick 18 (as of right now), likely to be a mid 20's pick.

they have bugga all, like us.

They are in that little bubble now where they think their entire list is amazing so they’re unlikely to offer up any player of value.

And what’s the difference going to be from their first and our second, about 6 or 7 spots. Big deal.

Everyone in the media thinks we are going to be shit for a few years too and crows are elite so based on that our future firsts should be much more valuable than theirs.

It’s all bullshit.
 
For the Crom Murphy is the one that comes to mind .... but I think it might be Keays for all the bluster about how much he's improved.
Ben Keys is 100% one of those players. His time at the club has been "ball winning midfielder" -> run-with-midfielder -> gut running high half forward. The improvement coincides with replacing replacing Keys with better players and putting him in a position where he just runs a lot and gets on the end of plays. He's now Josh Jenkins. They've improved because Keys is now a player getting one of the last touches in possession chains instead of being in the middle trying to move the ball through a zone.

Except instead of being 200cm and gut running off key defenders, Keys does it on half back flankers.
Apparently he’s in a group chat with Crom players that = trade request if you’re Kym Dillon
This was probably true, but it was probably some massive family group chat with second and third cousins... and Wayne Milera was the Crows defender in it.
He still blabs on about how Port should trade Butters for draft picks in a weak draft and Bergman could still be a trade option.
So he's a certain St Kilda poster in the NWM trade thread?

The PSD threat will also be completely real despite many wanting to discount it. We will likely hold a lower pick than the Saints. None of the other clubs will burn a pick on a kid that doesn't want to be there. No player in PSD history has ever been intercepted, particularly when nominating a break the bank salary and term that wouldn't be worth the while of the clubs below us.
