St Kilda have stated their objective is to have 3 first round picks.
Currently they have picks 3, 18, 24, 25.
Crows have pick 23
Don't see how trading with St Kilda is possible as they wouldn't give up picks 3 or 18.

That only leaves GWS as a maybe to swap pick 14 for their 21 and 23 somehow directly or through involving other clubs.

Don't think any other club would want to lose their early picks.

34 for Polec is an insulting offer which if Brisbane have any balls whatsoever they won't and shouldn't take. If we stick to that (which we won't) we'll have a Ben Jacobs situation on our hands, except there'll be a club who wants Polec and has picks that wouldn't be overs earlier than us in the draft.

Trading 14 for St Kilda's 18 and 24/5 or for GWS's 21 and 22 then on-trading the lower of those two picks to Brisbane is the way to go. Polec is easily worth that.

If the Varcoe trade rumour has any legs (and let's face it, it probably doesn't) we'll trade out both picks so it doesn't matter which one we give to Brisbane.

Imagine if Adelaide and Essendon had their picks - our first rounder would be 16. 30 I was happy enough to do, but now the compensation picks have ****** us, we just need to get the best possible compensation for our 14 that we can.

Every year, there's a new stud that will come along. Would you draft Polec with 14? I probably would, because I'm backing Hinkley and Burgess to get the best out of him. This isn't the last draft they will ever have.

What if Varcoe is the player that is part of a three way deal with Geelong?

Port Adelaide

Lose: Pick 14, 34
Gain: Pick 16, Polec

Geelong

Lose: Pick 16, Varcoe
Gain: Pick 14, Pick 29

Brisbane

Lose: Polec, Pick 29
Gain: Varcoe, Pick 34

The trade that was doing the rounds today, pre-compo picks was

Port trade pick 13 for 18 and 23.
Port trade 18 to Brisbane for Polec
Port trade pick 23 and 30 to Geelong for Varcoe and 32.

It seemed to be realistic enough, and could still be done with picks 21 and 22 from GWS.

Considering the contract off Brisbane put in front of Polec, pick 34 is more than enough compensation. If the Crows want to put up pick 23 and can get Polec to agree to it good luck to them. Remember Polec was pick 5 in a draft where 12 of the best underagers had been taken out of the draft so to be fair pick 5 was equivelant to about pick 12 in any other year. Remember that Polec was fit for large parts of this year and did not get a look in for any games so the lions rank him nowhere near there best 22.

I think it will be a 3 way deal with the saints and will include polec and longer and possibly Stanley.
Port - Polec & 25 (via StK)
StK - 14 & 34 (both via Port)
Bris - 18 (via StK)

Port Downgrade pick 14 to 25, lose 34 & gain Polec.
StK swap 18 & 25 for 14 & 34
Bris swap Polec for 18.

Or

Port - Polec & *25 (via StK)
StK - Longer & 14 (via Port)
Bris - 18 & 24 (both via StK)

*swap 25 for Stanley

Port Downgrade pick 14 to 25 & gain Polec.
StK effectively swap 18 for Longer and 24 & 25 for 14.
Bris swap Longer & Polec for 18 & 24. They come out the worst however both players not contracted and wishing to go home.
