So with Gov wanting out I've had a look at recent comparable trades to see what we can realistically expect to receive.
Below shows the trade value (based on the Draft Value Index) for all trades over the past 3 years where a player has been traded for picks only. Some multi team/player trades are included but only where the value can be isolated, eg. the Seedsman deal. I've also included the age of the player at the time (at the end of that year) plus their contractual status (as best as I could find so let me know if any are incorrect).
Where future picks are involved I have assumed the teams finish in the same position the following season.
I would argue Gov has at least as much value as Dixon, Henderson or Carlisle (prob the most comparable as key position players albeit 2 of those in defence) so we should be demanding at least pick 5 or 6 value. Whether that includes Carlton's #1 pick or a number of lower picks is the real question.
Stringer would be the most comparable however his value plummeted from his off field antics; prior to that would have been worth more given his AA nod.
