Especially when you go up against other rucks who like to put their knees out and do some damage. They should regulate that in some way.

I was thinking about some of the rumours going around recently and I think the following could happen:
1) Rumour 1 has GWS wanting pick 1 so they can grab McGrath in the draft (and we all know what GWS want, GWS get)
2) Rumour 2 has Darling wanting to be with his old coach at Essendon (he could be the new 'dive' bomber)
What if there is a trade of Darling for pick 1, pick 1 is on-traded to GWS for Lobb? ( There may be somr swap of picks or something too, let's hope McCarthy isn't involved too)
What do you think?

BT on SEN was talking about Bombers trading pick #1 to GWS in exchange for two 2016 first round picks, #8 from Collingwood (from Treloar deal) and #5 from Carlton (got through a trade for Marchbank and a late first this year).
Would you take Darling or pick #5 and #8 in exchange for #1 if you were the Bombers?

Pick 5 and 8 for a hbf seems a bit excessive, even though McGrath is supposed to be very good, it still seems a bit much to me.

They can afford it, they could even afford it if McGrath never played AFL.
I personally don't think McGrath is a top ten pick
Really? He has been amazing in important games.
In all the vids I've watched he's been meh.
Apart from slightly above average pace there's nothing there that screams pick me
Sure hands, and will to alter the game with a ton of possessions. He has been best player in winning teams in the state game and the Colts GF. (Apparently).
Hopefully some videos can be released of those games showing highlights, because I agree, there wasn't too much to his game today.
If gws trade for pick #1 to get Mcgrath then the QLD clubs will be laughing. Brissy would probably just take McClugga and not bid on Bowes. Which means if we don't bid for Bowes they get him with a late first rounder.
Would we bid on Bowes is it worth the risk of pick #3? Or would we rate him higher than SPS and Brodie?
If i was Brissy I would see what GC would give up for a swap of pick #2 for #4. Its basically upgrading GCS second best pick to a top 5 pick.

He had b hill, c mccarthy, r lobb and j hogan all playing for freo in 2017.... seems a little unbelievable. Scotty waters was a little skeptical but connolly says lobb is coming. Make of it what you will.
I can't imagine what it would take to get all that done in one off season. Just one of Lobb or Hogan seems unrealistic. But both? How?
LOL, makes you wonder its abit double edged. How much currency do we have without gutting ourselves. Sounds impossible to achieve, Langdon might be a piece.

it would suck to trade one of our best creative players - just to get a chance on some potentially equally talented players in another position. Seems like a case of robbing peter to pay paul.
