Wood is a good example of how average players can attract high draft picks if they fill a need at a club. We parted with pick 14 for him after he had only managed 16 games at the Lions in three years. By these calculations Dawes must be worth a first round pick plus steak knives.

He cannot be relied upon at ANY stage. The guy needs to be shown the door.

He wouldn't be the first ruck to ''switch on'' at 25-26, we've invested a hell of a lot in the bloke, we have to go at least another year IMO.

Problem is that the switch just isn't there. He does not have the intensity to compete at the highest level. He looks half asleep must of the time.

True, we still need a back up ruckman IMO though, especially if we plan on cutting wood, wood may be crap but he's our only option at present, that needs to change

Still plenty of trade time to go so perhaps this will be addressed.

They have nothing we want.

He either goes to WB or Melb or he stays here.

You'd have to try pretty hard to get delisted after 2 years if you were a top 10 DP lol, he obviously doesn't like the hard work, if he was a worker you'd think Neeld would give him more time, no from me.

being delisted might be the kick he needs to start working harder

Now that Jacobs is coming back home, we must go after him. Pick 17 to Port for Jacobs, get it done.

Pick 17 for Jacobs - surely not - jacobs is at best worth a late 2nd round pick - seriously think about the talent available and we are going to give up a first rd pick for a guy who struggled to get a game at Port - computer says NO

And Melbourne and the Bulldogs have something we want? I don't care who he goes to, as long as it's to the team that gives us the best deal. And looking at the respective lists, I'd likely ask for a draft pick, and go with whichever team offers us the highest. I can't see anyone offering a top 10 draft pick for him, so it very well could be Carlton's pick 11 that is the best offer if they want him that badly.
 
If we land a late first round pick for dawes and say a third rounder, would there be any chance of tempting sydney with our pick 18 and 2nd rounder for gary rohan and their 2nd rounder pending a medical obviously. Have no idea of his contract status but his speed and kicking ability is exactly what we need. Imagine him streaming off half back and through the midfield.
Would leave us pick 17, early 20's (dawes trade) plus we have a late 2nd rounder . Still have a stong position in the draft.
Thoughts?

I rate him as a 1st rounder, he didn't struggle to get a game for port. Missed 5 games with glandular fever and then had ankle surgery. Pick 17 for a 20 year in a year where the draft is very weak and shallow is a bargain. I don't think Port will trade him for pick 17 though.
