I dont like the idea of getting an extra player in the mid season draft for a few reasons .
We have enough depth in our list already
We have young talented players needing game time at afl level .
Whoever we pick probably wont even get a game this year .
We need to keep all the $ we have for end of year targets in coniglio or kelly .
If we take a wafl player from another team just to play them in the beagles it will rock the boat unnecessarily when we are trying to do the opposite
This is the AFL we're talking about right? They make the rules up as they go, they probably haven't even decided how the draft is going to run yetId imagine there would be an independent assessment of injuries by the AFL before being placed on the LTI.
Otherwise more sides would just Game the system to get a mid year draft pick, it can’t be that simple surely.

Updated thoughts on Tim Kelly:
1.) We need Free to actually win and play finals, the better they finish the close their first round pick is closer to ours and makes it harder to Geelong to trade him there
2.) He's probably going to finish top 3 in Brownlow which raises value even more
3.) We need to play venables for the rest of the year and bump his trade value
Let Freo over pay if they want.
Kelly is good, but he's not as good as Yeo/Shuey the last two weeks. Angus Brayshaw came third in the Brownlow last year, how's he going?
We just need to keep building and try to go back to back. That's the best bargaining position we can be in.
I don’t think the equation is whether he’s better than Yeo or Shuey though.
The equation is whether he is better than whatever we’d get with let’s say pick 12 this year and 10 next year. At his best, yes, you’d absolutely say odds are he’d be better than either of those players ever turn out to be.
The next question then - is seven years of Kelly worth a potential 20 years combined from those two players? They both might be busts and be done in six years total. They both might have great careers and play for ten years each. That’s a tougher one, comes down to how well you think the club drafts, but Kelly not being as good as Player X that we have now isn’t really relevant in my mind.
We don’t need to self impose a cap on how much talent is on our list just because we won with it as is.

Marlion Pickett has rebroken his finger and will be out for 8-10 weeks
Pickett selected by Richmond. Surprising move given he is out of action for 8-10 weeks and they already have injured players.

Incredible how he can still seperate his footy with his personal life. Most times you see a drop off in form when players are not happy outside of footy.I know the kelly family, mum, dad and brothers, Tims miserable as is his partner, Lovely people, has a younger brother who only started playing this year who will be a gun
