Nah. We only got 'an Ebert type deal' for Brad because we didn't have any picks in between pick 6 and pick 28, and pick 6 was obviously well overs at the time. This year we'll have a pick around 15, so that's what West Coast will be gunning for, possibly with a second rounder swap or something like that thrown in as well because pick 15-ish would be slight overs.
yeah i agree. if lycett and port are both keen to come together west coast will push for our pick 15ish all the way to the final day. best case i can see them accepting would be our 2nd + ben newton. i would hate to see newts leave as i reckon he has a real future at afl level and is ready to make an impact. i cant see us parting with our first pick either. i dont see our department doing that unless we got another sub 25 pick back from west coast in the deal.
either way we would be paying a price for lycett. im sold that lycett has a future at afl level. im not entirely sure it is the best value spend of high value stocks but its not a terrible spend either. im 50/50.
