If one of kemp, ash or God forbid young is there at 9 and we trade out I'll spew up.

The only way I see us trading with Sydney is it they pay massive overs. If we want serong as much as some say we do, then I think it’d be a really bad trade unless we got something crazy out of it that we just can’t resist.
They might take him at 5 though.The only way I see us trading with Sydney is it they pay massive overs. If we want serong as much as some say we do, then I think it’d be a really bad trade unless we got something crazy out of it that we just can’t resist.
Conversely, Geelong could be good to trade with. They have two firsts next year (theirs and West Coast's) both likely late.I see Sydney as the club to trade with.
They are apparently into Serong and would love to bring him on board with pick 10 on the back of Flanders at pick 6.
This would really accelerate their rebuild.
They would be looking at bringing in Daniher for free next year and they have 2 academy boys they could pay for with later picks so wouldn’t mind turning their 1st next year into Serong this year.
The deal would also have to include an agreement that they trade Papley to us next year.
For Carlton :
This year we land one of Stephens/Taylor/Williams
Next year we land Papley with one of our 1sts as per the agreement with Sydney in the deal.
This still leaves us with 2 x 1sts to land another big fish, setting us up for a full scale assault on the top 4 in 2021 and beyond.

Guarantee for what though? Neither of us know the assets we have at that point.Out :
Pick 10
In :
Pick 25
Sydney future 1st (possible top 5 pick)
Guarantee on Papley trade next year allowing us to concentrate fully on a second big fish with the 2 1st rounders we would hold.
This deal would have Carlton ready to explode into the top four in 2021 and beyond.
They must feel papely will leave again next yearThey might take him at 5 though.
Which would have to indicate their trading intentions for next year
You know how the answer to this goes. It depends who's there at 9 and who you project will get to 15 and 20.
But to answer your question...sorta...if it were me...if Robertson and Kemp were there i would like to use 9. If they weren't, i would trade down and be fairly confident of getting Pickett at 15 and very confident of getting Williams at 20. I'd love 2 shots at that medium/small forward we need and both could be stars.
There's a thousand answers to every query 5 days before a draft. It's great fun.

This seems fanciful to me.

It’s pretty simple.
If we make that deal this year, we will hold 3 x 1st rounders next year.
The deal would include a guarantee from Sydney to trade Papley next year for 1 of those 3 1st round picks.
The knowledge that we have a guarantee on Papley gives us the ability to concentrate fully on landing a second big fish next year with the remaining 2 x 1st rounders we would hold.
Nothing fanciful about it really.

The Swans have the potential to leap back up I to finals contention next year (provided Buddy stays healthy), I am very bullish on their list and kids..
Also I am still bitter over their refusal to trade Papley, so I don't want us to trade with them for now![]()
Papley is a very good player, but massively overrated on this board.
Using pick 9 in the draft is the best outcome for us![]()
I assumed we were getting a later 1st round pick if we got Papley, which would have been an acceptable outcome (in my opinion)
I wouldn't mind doing a future pick swap with Hawthorn tbh, I can hone9stly see the Hawks sliding down to bottom 4 in 2020.
How does the guarantee come about though?
We can shake hands with Beatson and he may be gone next year.
Papley may have an outrageously good year and the Sydney board block the deal, or demand more than what we shook hands on.
I think we're all well aware now that if a trade isn't done - It's just not done.
To set aside another year of not getting the types we need and for them not to come through could be disastrous for the club...and then we missed on Serong who we may have wanted and would have got a year into.
I know what you're saying RB, but that's all too risky a strategy, unless it doesn't really matter that we miss on Papley
where’d the rumour of us being keen on Weightman at 9 come from?
Serong as a small forward/mid would be better Than Weightman
Think there would be better options available ie serong, kemp, etc
I think if we are drafting Weightman, then it will be as a result of trading down the draft order. I can’t see us keeping 9 and using it on Weightman.
Maybe that's why they are rumoured to be taking Pickett at 10? They think Weightman is gone at 9?problem with that is Melbourne have a pick after us and keen on him too
Both clubs football departments will remain largely the same next year.
An agreement of this nature would also have the stamp of approval from both clubs head of football and both clubs CEO’s along with Papley’s management.
There is no way known Sydney would reneg on the deal, they just wouldn’t.
Sydney bring in Flanders and Serong this year to accelerate their rebuild.
Next year they bring in 2 academy kids paid for with later picks and Daniher for free to prepare for the departure of an ageing Franklin.
It’s a good deal for both clubs and Sydney are far too professional to be reneging on this kind of agreement.
That kind of cowboy behaviour is more the work of Cochrane at GC.

If we draft Weightman with pick 9, we've lost the plot.problem with that is Melbourne have a pick after us and keen on him too
