Was trying to think something up along these lines myself. I 100% agree, although maybe 32 to Crows for Keath and keep 37 and that seems a win-win-win to me

32 or 37 either way works. 17 not as good as 13 but still gives us 2 half decent picks and gets us Bruce Keath which is pretty fair deals all around
 
Would people be happy with this deal.

45 51 53 (839 points. Helps them for academy) to freo 26 (729 points hence helping freo )and dockers 2020 4th round to dogs. might give us an extra 100 or so points next year if needed. Then send 26 to saints for Bruce pretty fair for both.

Leaves us with 13 & 32 & 80 odd for rookie upgrade. With Keath to get.

I would go to the cats and ask for 17 & 36 Most likely 37 so they stay 1 ahead of us. Offer 37 to the crows for Keath and head to the draft with 17 & 32.

People thoughts seems pretty fair for every1.

In a nutshell.

In Bruce Keath 17 next years 4th from Freo
Out 13,45,51,53
Sounds ok a little convoluted at the back and If I am not wrong isn't it a must that you have three picks in the draft?
 
Talk we're into Geelong forward sam Simpson apparently
As for winning the Geelong VFL B&F, wouldn't our own winner, Anthony Scott be just as good?
Seriously though, the guy is highly rated at Geelong as a VFL midfielder. Read all about it here.

No. I think he pretty much knew he was crap.

I'm actually very relieved he's our recruiter as he definitely won't adopt the 'bad brother syndrome' of which he was a part and which has plagued us for decades....

Bowden
Sexton
Power
Jakovich
(there are more I just can't remember them)

Therefore also no chance we'll take Sam Gray this year.
Hang on, Allen Jakovich was a gun player early with Melbourne, he was unfortunately washed up when he came to us as his back was stuffed. Hardly a dud brother, I saw him kick 13 one day against Norf
 
Yeah Simpson is not a small forward, I know someone mentioned he was 180cm tall but plays taller than that when I’ve seen him live. Very skinny player but good skills, if/when he fills out he’d be a good type
 
So the saints want picks 36 and 37 for jack steven? have they seen the state of jack Steven last year?
Even in the body shape he was last year, he was still pretty good.
I don't want Geelong to get him for unders, screw them.
He is almost exactly what we need as a small pressure forward who could rotate in the guts if needed.

really hope we don't strike a deal for josh bruce until deadline day now.

How are they going to finalise deals for Hill, Zak Jones and Dougal Howard with no picks?
Hopefully Swans, Freo and Port all play hardball.
 
What would be a worse scenario.

Lose our first rounder but get both of Keith/Bruce

Or

Keep our first and only get one of Keith/Bruce
The first one is better any day of the week. First round of the draft is below average this year, and the need for talls far outweighs the need for another top end kid, when we got Smith + West last year, and have multiple coming next year through NGA/FS

Depends who the club wants in the draft. In all seriousness getting both and losing 13 wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. But it really shouldn’t be necessary to lose 13 to get both deals done.

Agreed. We have no need to get younger. The list just needs some topping up IMO.

Boys, have we not learned anything in the last few years. People falling for fake links so quickly, I reckon even McCraeBF could sneak something through at this point.

BTW, my nan's florist mentioned that Bevo had dinner with Sam Fletcher last night and is planning on making an offer today

In a choice between Cody Weightman and Josh Bruce, I'd take Bruce. Last year we had a higher draft pick in a better draft, where we'd get an elite player with that pick no matter how the picks ahead of ours fell, so keeping that pick was important. This year I think our first pick is far less valuable.
 
Question to ponder:

Could Josh Schache be played off the bench as a Luke Darcy type mobile ruck back up ? Which would allow
the Bruce, Naughton and Greene forward combination to terrorise sides. I think Schache could be the
exact type of mobile highly skilled penetrating kicking ruck god that Bevo has been craving all these
years and he is right under our noses. English and Schache now that sounds flash !
