Straight swap - JUH for Hooker
This statement keeps coming up. I'm not the authority on it but it has been repeatedly refuted on this board.We would have given up our pick for Bailey Smith so he did us a favour by selecting the hawks.
Look at the melts. Just a discussion but once more for the slow ones. Hypothetical anyway.What an awful idea.
Ok but we can just trade say our future second into this year to get points for Darcy. I really don’t think we need to do anything too crazy to get enough points to match.Look at the melts. Just a discussion but once more for the slow ones. Hypothetical anyway.
Lose Smith, pick 18.
Gain pick 1 (Horne) and effectively 23 (no bid on Darcy at 1).
You're all forgetting the gain in no bid on Darcy by us taking 1.
So all up gain Horne and Darcy. Lose pick 18 and Smith.
Bit of Sam power tactical work. Push our 1st to before a bid. Take a leaf out of demons and GWS books.
AwFUl iDEa.....
Not sure that would work out as well as you imagine. We regularly get smashed in hitouts but win clearances. Teams can plan around and counter a dominant tap ruckman. Hitouts are meaningless and even hitouts to advantage aren't valuable if the player who received the tap is immediately tackled which is often the case.I really don’t care if our ruck plays 70% TOG and can’t do anything other than ruck and sit on the bench. We can cover the rest. Imagine our midfield with a dominant ruck. We would genuinely never lose. If he could take a couple of marks around the ground well that’s a bonus but we need a first ruck whose a ruckman

Good pickup.Ok, I see the logic.
It’s basically Smith for pick 1…. And we lose a pick that we could have turned into points but now don’t need to.
Let’s talk about Horne. His best assets are defensive work and work rate around stoppages. People talk about his high footy IQ and his overhead ability (which I think is good but not elite). His kicking is good but not elite.
Basically he is a balanced midfielder, probably the best defensive work at u18 I have seen. Is that worth swapping for Smith?
IF we got some late third round picks back & we bid on Daicos at Pick 1, then I would probably do it IF Smith wanted to go there. I like Smith BUT I now understand your logic.
Good pickup.
But we wouldn't bid on Daicos at pick 1. Cause that would push the Darcy pick up the order. Let the Daicos bid fall to pick 2 then Darcy would have to fall to pick 3 or later. Later the better for points.
Anyway. My head hurts now.....
Also if Pies need to use multiple picks to match Daicos then it can push our later picks very slightly up the points order.No.
IF we bid on Daicos, then take Horne at pick 2, then Darcy has to be pick 3 or later.
IF we don’t bid on Daicos, then Darcy could be bid on pick 2…. Which cost us a lot of points unnecessarily.
Whether Darcy falls at pick 1, or 5 we still need our first rounder to match. What do we have left other than our first rounder? A third?
Just a fourth. Third went on Hannan I think.
What a waste of a third pick we could have passed

Does Daniel Talia still hate us?
Are our key back stocks better NOW or in 2016?
Our best kpd now is better than our best kpd then (Keath vs 2016 version of Morris), but the depth in 2016 is far and away better than it is now (Morris, Roberts, Hamling, Cordy, Adams, Wood, Collins).Are our key back stocks better NOW or in 2016?
would have to be a very sexy Hooker though.Straight swap - JUH for Hooker
Think it might even be a fourthWhether Darcy falls at pick 1, or 5 we still need our first rounder to match. What do we have left other than our first rounder? A third?
He also likes to play loose and really benefited from some others around him doing the dirty work. Very good at what he did though.I'm not convinced Rance would be the great saviour we're crying out for. He was obviously a star at his best, but he's now 31 years old, basically hasn't played in 3 years and has come off an ACL. I could see him struggling.
