So we could draft two and then upgrade Smith and be done? I reckon it will come down to the picks we have then, if we get three decently high picks to use I can't see us using one on a rookie upgrade that can wait a year.
Yep and Roake can be upgraded straight away to play if needed next year anyway with Wallis and Redpath on long term injury list.

Depends on our picks and what we think we could get. If say our 2nd pick is a 4th rd - smith may be a far superior option than anyone left.
Really we'd just be swapping a rookie pick for a late main list pick. Either way we have Roarke, just depends what spot on the list he takes up.

The only reason I can think of is that if we didn't we'd then need to do it next year when delistings might be harder and the draft better, so get it out of the way now.

Okay, so if we get Cloke, what is everyone's expectation for next year?

How would we structure up?

I can see Cloke being a permanent forward, Boyd sharing ruck duties with one of Roughead / Campbell / Whoever we Bring in.

Thoughts?

Isn't Dodo and the Dopers going to threaten every club with the PSD with out of contract players? That's his scumbag modus operandi. Just tries to be
the big tough guy at trade time when everyone knows he is just a campaigner of a bloke.
If Dodo goes down this track. Then they won't be able to get deals done in upcoming years. Clubs have long memories of shit blokes. They would be better off just giving fair deals for players off contract.
Yeah, Dodo talks a big game but it's all bluffing.
