Trading back our pick 2 and getting Houston and another first rounder sounds pretty appealing.
Say we traded pick 2 for Gold Coast’s picks 6 & 12. Sending 12 to Port and taking Armstrong in the draft looks great, but Port probably don’t accept that.
Alternatively we could send the pick 6 to...
That’s true about the spread, but the $ will (or should) still be taken into account. e.g. Geelong spread $1.6m over 2 years out over 4 years and still netted pick 7. We won’t get that, but we don’t know how his salary will be split so it’s hard to say how the picks should fall.
How many years does Parker have left on his deal at Sydney and how much is he on? Same sort of thing in that if we are taking on a large salary then we shouldn’t be paying much in draft picks.
That’s a lot of anger for this early in the morning DuckYeah 😲
But, FWIW, I tend to agree re Darling. I really only put it in that scenario because it was a surplus pick with the number of list spots I had. It was either Harvey or pick 64, and I’d like to give Harvey another year.
For...
You’re probably right, but he’s an interesting one. Very much an icing player and by the time one of those would be really good for us, he’ll be done. But I could see him going to a contender next year and kicking 35 goals.
Start with picks 2, 22, 40, 58 & 64
1. Pick 64 to West Coast for Darling.
2. Stephenson to Sydney for Parker.
3. Picks 2, 40 & 2025 2nd pick to Gold Coast for picks 6, 12, 20 & 38.
4. Picks 22, 38 & 58 to Brisbane for picks 18 & 53.
5. Lazzaro and pick 53 to Adelaide for pick 42.
Finish with...
Just keep it at York Park but move it to a night match. The power going out and playing in complete darkness might just be our best chance of winning. Or at the very least we won’t have to see how bad we are.
I actually think that’s a bit shit that there’s no FTA games on Saturdays from next year. Too bad for people who don’t have / can’t afford Fox / Kayo and want to watch a game of footy on a Saturday night.
I don’t think we need to get too cute this year. Something as simple as:
1. Trade our 2025 2nd pick to Gold Coast for pick 20.
2. Trade our two late picks for a minor upgrade e.g. picks 58 & 65 to Port for pick 50.
Go to the draft with picks 3, 20, 23, 41 & 50. Take best available with 3...
Was just looking at who might be delisted from the main and rookie lists. Is it right that we currently have 9 rookies?
Shiels
Payne
Sellers
Maley
Drury
K Dawson
Teakle
Free
Hansen
Any of those not rookies?
And only Dawson needs to be upgraded (unless the AFL changes the 3 year rookie rule)?

Personally, I consider Tom’s comments to be fair, reasonable and in no way excessive, so not sure what the “please explain” was for…
Geez, it was Max King, now Cadman. While we’re on the topic of players who won’t be coming to us, why don’t we try to pry Curnow and McKay out of Carlton? They have a salary cap squeeze going on, don’t ya know.
They had the 4 Victorian clubs as having the NT zone, but how’s that work with what access GC has in the NT? Joel Jeffrey was a NT academy pick for GC.
