I’d be happy to go for Shiel as long as there is a way we can keep one at least one first rounder for this year.
Yep.
If we used one first rounder this year (from Polec trade) and next year’s first rounder for Shiel, with something coming back the other way, say GWS second rounder next year, that would be a good and fair result.
We then pick up Lycett as a free agent.
We are left with pick 10 or so, pick 24 or so (Saints second rounder), pick 31 (our second rounder) and a couple of third round picks around 45-50.
We lose Polec and our first rounder next year and gain a second round pick next year.
Draft priorities then become:
Best available high possession, hard running, clean midfielder with our first pick
Best available tall forward with our second pick
Creative, quick small-medium forward or wingman with our third pick
Ready-made tall defender (eg current state level player with our fourth pick)
Another creative small-medium outside mid-forward
