I can't believe Melbourne were handed pick 3 for Frawley. Absolute laughing stock.

If you understood how the FA compensation system works, then it'd be fairly easy to "believe".
 
I would've done it as well

But according to Ralph on twitter the saints knocked back 4 and 7. Maybe they want 4 and 6? Or maybe they are just are seeing if GWS throw in something as steak knives.

1 elite player is better than 2 good solid players, guess it just depends on how much you rate your number 1 guy and who it is. The PR from a pick 1 isn't a bad thing to have from a struggling clubs point of view either.
I reckon Melbourne could have done without the Watts and Scully PR (fallout).

To be fair most realistic fans would have expected Melbourne to get ONE of the PP applied (denied) or the compensation pick 3. They went with the latter. No dramas for me, Melbourne need some help.

I agree with what some are saying about chasing Melbourne's picks rather than St Kilda's pick 1. I'd offer 4,6,7 & Frost for pick 2 & 3 and just work backwards from there. Unlikely they give up both, but ask the questions. Even 4 & Frost for pick 3 is something I would consider. At pick 3 at least one of McCartin & Wright will be available. Wright makes a lot of sense for mine. Groom him as the 2nd ruck/forward, a position GWS don't really have covered. If the reports of them really wanting Petracca are correct, I'm actually not certain that 4,6,7 will be enough for St Kilda to give up pick one. If they could get their hands on 2 or 3 however, then St Kilda might deal
 
4 6 and 7 for 1 and 22

Agreed. (Though I think it should be 21 because that would be nice and symmetrical.) GWS shouldn't offer that much but we shouldn't give it up for any less. Petracca is the best fit for us, there's no real problem if we end up with him.

If they do the trade then that's because they really don't want to use all of 4, 6 and 7. They probably realise that another three talented kids is the last thing they need - they've already got 33 guys on their list who are younger than 22 next year (including Steele and Finlayson). How can they possibly get them all enough games?

If they do that deal then their trade period results would be:

IN: 1, 40, Griffen, Patfull
OUT: 4, 43, Boyd, Jaksch, O'Rourke, Whiley

So basically grabbing two experienced guys and improving their first- and third-round picks for the net price of a sooky number 1 draft pick and some guys who weren't getting games anyway. Doesn't actually look that bad to me.
 
How often does pick 1 turn out to be the absolute clear standout player from that draft group??

Plenty of the suggestions are massively over valuing pick 1

If the Saints can turn pick 1 into two top 5 or 6 picks they should do it, or even a Melbourne style swap for a gun ie Tyson and pick9 (Salem) compared to pick 2 (Kelly) would be a big result for them.

The two times we had it it did.

Petrecca, as hyped, would be a great fit for every team, but are you guys now more in the market for a KPF? With Stanley gone, who are your KPFs besides Riewoldt?

Lee and White. We definitely need a KPF but we are at the stage of our rebuild where we just pick best available because we need quality everywhere. I'd rank our needs like this

1. MIDS
2. KPD
3. KPF
 
I still think both clubs will go Petracca and if GWS trade up they are even more likely to go Petracca than the saints.

Cameron, Patton, Treloar, McCarthy, Stewart. GWS will survive without Boyd.

Why did you put Treloar in that group? You mean Tomlinson??
