Assume we get White fa.
Assume we trade for Polec.
We only have three positions left on the main list and must bring in three players.
That doesn't leave much room for anything else.

Delistings can happen until end of November and we can then rookie draft some fringe players we delist.

Leaves probably pick 13 (mid or McCarthy)
Third round pick (late 40s)
PSD pick or fourth rounder
3 rookie picks
+ Flynn

As long as with those remaining picks we take a decent KPF prospect and probably a rookie ruck prospect, then we're ok.

I think we'd seriously look at Mitch Thorp with a late pick, if we landed Polec and a mid with pick 13.

Rucci just said we are interested in Nathan Vardy from Geelong
Ugh. Horrifically overrated player. He's not worth anywhere near what he'd cost us. I'd rather play Redden in the ruck/forward role anyway.

It'll have to be a 4th rounder PJ. Teams must use 3 pick in the national draft and it seems almost certain Mitchell won't be upgraded.

I know a lot of you dont, but I really think Sam Reid can play. Would have a crack at him for sure with Franklin moving in.
Yeah I rate him too. Will be a better player if he gets away from Sydney. The SCG and their game plan do a contested marking CHF like Reid no favours.

They linked us to 7 players in total.

M White
Vardy
Flynn
Polec
Josh Hall

Someone else (just cannot remember)

I'm surprised they didn't say Greenwood and Lycett. They're just guessing or repeating other peoples' rumours.
