Billings should absolutely be a target if we can get him with a second rounder (which seems unlikely, but worth a punt). Not sure I’d give up more than 17-20 at an absolute stretch for him.
One thing to be careful of is Richardson has a talent for developing players. So you'd want to be cautious about picking up a player who hasn't come on under Richardson.

Maybe I'm reading into this too deeply, but when Robbo says "A guy told me he's going to Collingwood," could he be cheekily referring to Ned Guy?

Actually I probably am reading too deeply, Robbo's hardly that clever.
He probably misheard Guy Smiley while binge watching Sesame Street for hosting tips.

Yeah lets not suddenly change our tune just because what he is saying is pro pies. I still dont pay any attention to what Robbo writes or says.

There is no benefit to the Pies if anyone in the organisation lets this slip this early. (Now if we were playing shit on field then it might be a good distraction).

The more the media mention us as the front runner, the less comfortable I become. It is likely a move by his management to push up his offers from other clubs, and possibly in return, to then push up the offer from us.

Pretty simple:
The better we play, and the higher up we get on the ladder, the less likelihood of GCS matching our bid.

If we finish 6th: Our first pick would be 13th.

Presumably Lynch joins us, and that only makes us a better team. We finish 4th next year.

That’s pick 13 in 2018 draft and pick 15 in 2019 draft.

Or the GCS finish 15th and their first pick is 4. Compensation: pick 5.

Pick 13 & pick 15 or pick 5?

They could draft the King Boys with pick 4 & pick 5, and set-up their team for the next 10 years.
