Big jump from our third to fourth picks.

Adelaide look to be in a great position, not sure how they worked that but they've done week.

Can we do anything else to assist in the demise of the Crows and Dogs, or will it be an organic process over the season.

Beat them?

Okaaaay, that was sort of a given. Hence the ‘else’ part of the question. Thanks for playing though
 
This year we hope the Dogs and the Crows will tank,
As we hope for the best possible picks to bank.
We want them to fail, only sort of in jest,
But please may they stumble the sons of the West.

The Crows' second rounder too, is up for dibs,
If they falter, it will only improve our trading of Gibbs.
The picks could end up in the thirties, worst case,
But please may the Dogs' and Crows' years end in disgrace.

For if we do end up with picks in the twenties,
It will show SOS truly is a list manager cognoscenti.
If that happens it will be another reason to have faith in SOS,
For when it comes to trading he truly is boss.
 
Annoyingly, I think the dogs will be ok this year (5th-8th). I think whoever faced up to GWS in round 1 would have been torched.

Wallace can cover Libba. They have two fwd talls to work with and a nice group of mids/runners. They have extricated a toxic stringer.

Will bounce back this weekend and smash the Eagles.

Expect Adelaide to slide a little, not a lot.

one of mckay, mcreadie, wietering, marchbank? cant see us trading a mid or curnow.

not sure anyone else has enough value to be worth losing.

I don't want to see any of those 4 be put on the table. Especially Marchbank.

Unless you're getting godfather offers, ie way overs, then there's no point in getting rid of good players who fit into our 'list within a list' age demographic and realistically all 4 should be entrenched in the 22 within the next year or so.

Weitering seems to start kind of slow but should be aiming to be a top 10 player on our list this year, Marchy should probably be aiming to be top 5 considering his current form.

I still have faith in McKay, he'll need some more time, and we know Macreadie can play at the level but he's going to have to work his way in to a back half that bats reasonably deep. Ideally he can add some more strings to his bow in the VFL while he's trying to make the 1s; get some time playing wing, a bit forward and even pinch hit in the ruck occasionally. I really like the idea of him being a utility player, kind of in the Blicavs mold (I think it's Arr0w who's been suggesting this?...)

the question was who has value for an early pick, not who do i think we should trade. we have a small surplus of young talls, if we really need to get an extra pick to improve our net position it'll be one of them - the alternatives are dow, sps, cripps, i doubt anyone else would have enough currency.

I would think that if Jones has an All Australian year we could trade him to say a Collingwood who don’t have a fullback.
It would hurt us a bit, but we can cover him fairly easily.
And in my opinion he could help a team more than Gibbs could, with his power at full back.

Yeah, that's what we should do... trade out our all-australians...

Dogs have pretty much lost their Premiership forward line.
Stringer - gone
Boyd -can't get a game
Picket - Long term concussion
Smith - can't get a game/lost form
Dickson - can't get a game/lost form

Who kicks their goals now. They have to play their best midfielder as a KPF so the midfield lacks class.

Take a look down back too:

Morris - knee 3 months
Adams - knee 3 months
Hamling - freo
Johanissen - everyone knows you can tag him out of a game pretty easily
Boyd - retired
Bob - long retired (granted he missed a lot of footy over the last couple of years)

Who stops the goals being kicked on them?
 
Clay smith approx 4 weeks away
Hayden Crozier approx 3 weeks away
Liba gone for the whole season
Marcus Adams approx 11 weeks away
Kieran Collins approx 5 weeks away
Dale Morris approx 11 weeks away
Liam Picken concused so who knows
Schache and boyd... well who knows

Upcoming games
Wce at Etihad
Ess at etihad
Swans at etihad
Dockers at freo
Blues at etihad
Suns at etihad
Brisbane at etihad

Honestly all winnable except the swans game imo over the next 7 weeks. They would hope to get at least 4 wins because from then on, it gets pretty tough. If they get 3 or under wins, id pick them for a bottom 6 placing
