I think Blair will be doing a lot of listening over the next few weeks as there would be most clubs coming to us trying to get in on our picks. There is no pressure on us to do anything until we’ve heard everyone’s pitch. Even if we want pick 2 I’d be holding off and seeing if North come to us.

Yeah obviously if you are North that’s what you’d ask for so we’d probably just be better off holding our picks and see if you guys come looking for pick 10 or 11 on draft night once you know who is still there. If that were the case I’d think we’d be keen on 10 for your future first.

If we were keen to get Pick 2 I’d love to see us try and work it so we also get Norths future first as they seem willing to part ways with it during trade week. Hypothetical could be: We trade 6, 10 and one more of our picks (what pick they ask for would determine whether we see it as...

Is the Isaac Cumming compo released yet? Might give us an indication on what we will get for Graham, although he will likely be getting paid more.

The whole night seemed so awkward and Broad would of only felt embarrassed by the president using him to take a dig at the others. Our year finished a month ago, surely we could have held our best and fairest much sooner to reduce some of the awkwardness and allow the club to move on to the...

If Baker chooses West Coast they will likely have a suitable pick if they trade out Barrass as they would only trade him if they get overs. If they don’t, this years second and something in next years draft might be the best we can do as they won’t touch their first pick and neither would we...

Recon the players will feel like the hobbits watching this when he tells them tomorrow. They loved the bloke and always knew he had their back.

Agree 100% with this. Not this kids fault but even if he turns into a solid player we are going to regret not taking Van Rooyan for a long time. Our lack of young key forwards really leaves our list in limbo. Hard to see that being fixed anytime soon as we won’t have the draft currency this year...

This is really only relevant since the 2016 draft as that’s when Clarke took over. Took Bolton at 29 and Graham at 53 and also picked Stengle as a rookie. Big tick. 2017 we got Higgins at 17, Coleman-Jones at 20 and Balta at 25. Although Higgins and Coleman-Jones didn’t work out for us I don’t...

Players that come to mind that would/could appeal to GWS that probably deserve more opportunity than they’ll get with us would be Soldo, Hugo, Mansell. Kingsley would know what he wants, surprised it hasn’t been leaked yet.

Mitch Cleary is better than most but is still a massive cats fan that hates the tiges as much as we all hate the cats. He is never going to suggest a favourable trade for the tiges.

We can’t lose here. He isn’t will likely stay but if he went long term security from elsewhere we would get what we believe is well compensated as he is contracted.

Can’t see us keeping 19 or the future first with or without Soldo being part of it to be honest. Would be great if we did but the fact we would be so happy with the deal tells us that it is in our favour. We will give a fair deal, trying to rip a team off only comes back to bite you in the future.

Not ideal if Soldo goes as we will have to replace him with another specialist ruckman. Can’t go in to next year with just Nank and the kids. Hope he stays but would understand him seeking a number one spot.

Will be great for Balta and Gibcus. Great move by the club

Recon it will be picks as their salary cap is in strife. Maybe a player that isn’t on much that fills a need like Soldo or Ralphsmith along with the picks.

Was a very strange one. I really wanted Van Rooyan or Sonsie at that pick. Not saying Brown won’t be any good but we now have too many half backs. Short, Rioli, Baker, Ralphsmith, Brown, Stack all have half back as a best position. Can’t play them all. I’d be looking to trade one over the next...

Anyone know if Miller and Pickett are now on the main list with their new contracts? My thoughts were that those two and Stack were all on their last year of being able to be on the rookie list?

I know I’ll get shut down for this but I think it’s possible that Kingsley going to GWS could change the Taranto situation. Taranto has always said he likes living in Sydney over Melbourne and these are the types GWS need. It’s known that we chase Tom Green every year and Adam Kingsley would...

I totally agree, but have no faith in the people that choose the nominees. I believe they’ll look at the stats sheet and see 21 disposals and think that’ll do.

Will be annoyed if he doesn’t get it but I bet they give it to the saints kid that tagged Lachie Neale. I believe whoever chooses the nomination doesn’t even watch every game and just looks at the stats sheet.

Recon we could get their future first though? He won’t go anyway in my opinion.

I agree completely, they chose to treat older players like shit and force them into leaving. They have dug their own hole, but I just know the AFL will do it as it’s a short term fix and easy decision. If the AFL were honest with themselves though they would admit that despite a proud history...

It is only fair that we get the first pick on the second night. Think we have a fair case to argue that pick 19 is valuable being the first pick on the second night and that we strategically traded for Norths future second and shouldn’t be taken away from us. If they want to make North more...

Following on from what Tiger 71 said, it all makes sense. Need a ready made midfielder and Hopper could be a bargain, won’t have the bidding war you would with Taranto as he has been injured all year. In terms of Rioli, hope we keep him as he is a big part of our culture and is and will...

Our best ruck by a mile and still think he will be a good captain for us. But this game has to be a line in the sand for him. Going back with the flight like he did last week is tough. Barrelling a bloke off balance when he’s already kicked the ball is not. It is just stupid and that late goal...

Personally recon he will be sub this week and could be a great sub on a regular basis. Can play anywhere if required and can have a big impact in a short time

If Dusty wanted to go and live in Sydney, we’d want to be heavily in Tom Greens ear. Was born to play in front of a packed MCG and would be our next captain. Maybe I’m dreaming, but surely we wouldn’t let Dusty go unless it was heavily in our favour.

Could a three way trade with the dogs involved work? Richmond give CJ and Pick 38 Richmond get Pick 23 and Tarrant North give pick 40 and Tarrant North get CJ Dogs give Pick 23 Dogs get pick 38 and 40 (more points as pick 23 means nothing to them)

North want to trade their future second with Gold Coast for 19 and McPherson but McPherson doesn’t want to go to North so it won’t happen. So i recon we will end up getting North’s future second and Tarrant. Then North will get a third this year (we have too many anyway) and CJ.
