But what else are we giving up in addition to pick 8? What bridges the gap between pick 3 and pick 8?
Hopefully not a future first. And hopefully not pick 27 on its own. Both of those would be terrible deals for us.
Eagles only have picks 3, 26 and 63. They have a vacuum there. That is the worry.
And West Coast wants to maintain a first round pick this year AFTER they trade for Baker.
I’m scratching my head on this one.

But we’re not winning you need to stop this deluded stuff that finishing 12th was a win over finishing 14th. The idea as stated by the club is to build a list that contends and win premierships.
We haven’t won since 1966 how’s that working out for the club and saints supporters, it’s not doing it for me that’s for sure. I can’t speak for thommo but I can think of many ways in which we might replace what jones has provided over 5 seasons from within and perhaps with who we bring in.
If he’s playing at sandy as a backup what’s his purpose within the scope of where we expect to finish in 2025 ?. I’d suggest as thommo has its to stop us dropping a couple of places not to help us climb a few, that’s not winning imo.
I think we are underestimating the value of pick 27 in this draft.
It is still a darn good pick.

If we trade out 7 and 8, I'd want 3 and WC future first. With some later pick swaps.

Im a bit conservative so I would like to just keep our picks and take them as they fall. If the club are considering trading one or both picks they obviously are confident on their player rankings and where each player will fall. I think any trades we make will be solely to target specific players, hence if we end up with #3 & #15 it will be because we highly rate a top end player and believe we can get the other kid we want at #15. Thats scary times for an old rusted on supporter like myself but also exciting I guess!

You want me to talk for thommo ?. If it was me I’d just as happily use any combination, of stocker, owens, Higgins who was a prolific mid as a junior, Garcia and so on. Seriously we’re talking about jones not Cripps.
I just don't see that as being worth it. No doubt West Coast would be bottom 4 next year, but 2 picks this year is better than waiting another year for a pick.

It’s going to be a long few days.
A few deep breaths for those who need it

No, you’re in agreement with him so you’d surely have an idea what to do with him. Higgins is laughable tbh lmao
Garcia I agree looks great, Stocker and Owens are worse mids than Zones.
Except it doesn’t appear that this is the case. There is no standout like with Harley Reid.

Lol, thought that was Nitrous for a second. “To each their own!”.
I’m happy to trade 8, but we must keep 7.
My ideal scenario would be 8+27 for WC 3 and a late pick or two coming back our way.
There are 7 elite mids in the open pool, not 8.
Pick 3 - FOS/Lalor/Jagga/Draper
Pick 7 - Smillie/slider if there is one
Midfield sorted, rebuilt complete.

Exactly. Eagles aren’t coughing up 3 to 8 for a late 20s pick.

Why would West Coast do that? Would be a genuinely terrible trade for them, the AFL would probably block it.
Stocker is no mid. Got played there out of desperation and hardly set the world on fire.
Higgins was tried there a few times by Ratten and was ordinary.
Owens might be able to pinch hot in there but his best position looks forward.
We are really thin for midfielders still. Hopefully we get a couple of good ones this draft but rarely are they ready to jump straight into the engine room from day one.
The trade must be in our favour or we won’t do it. We hold the position of power in this one.

Was he laughable when he was getting leather poisoning in the tac as a mid ? Paddy Dow ring a bell. Sometimes I wonder if I’ve got my wires crossed we are talking and Zak jones here ?.

DRAFT ANALYSIS: "One of the smartest small forwards in the Under 18 competition, possessesing great goal nous and can push into the midfield and win the contested ball."

I’m going harder at 9 if we’re dropping the F1.
I think nothing much gets me excited in the teens.

We still need some mid experience in the squad .... Zones was playing some pretty good football towards the end of the season when we beat some highly rated sides
We likely wouldn't get anything for him in a trade and he is probably costing us a base wage on 1 year .... if his body stays sound he adds a bit of mongrel and energy around the ground

And every chance Richmond swaps with North so that FOS and Lalor are likely off the board.
