It was incredibly unclear what you were even talking about. It was a rambling post about some salaries coming off the books and others coming on and then at the end you said the club wanted to keep next year's pick and not because it's a better draft. If your point is they want to keep it...

Players get traded when they're overseas all the time.

Seedsman probably will go. Rowe, Frampton and Davis are close to 100% certainties to go as well. Borlase is a complete irrelevance, because getting rid of him doesn't give us another list spot. We don't know if anyone will take Sholl and Crouch. Any other ideas?

Points matter for them. I don't think a second and a third gives them more points that a first. Obviously we'd do it in a heartbeat.

Jackson won the rising star and was instrumental to winning a flag. Rankine was dropped due to lack of form and hasn't won anything.

Pick 5 is fair for the GCS. It sucks for the Crows. Who are they bidding against? He's an uncontracted player that's named his future team, and what the Crows offer is the only return GCS can get for him. It's stupid for the Crows to overpay, like it was for Dawson, or for the WB for Keath, or...

You should ask them that - sounds really stupid, like delisting a contracted player assuming they won't just go to an opposition team.

Rankine was dropped to the reserves last year and has had only one top ten B&F finish (at tenth) at a rubbish club playing a less important position than Jackson. Rankine hasn't done what Jackson has. 13 and a F1 is certainly enough for Jackson, but if Melbourne want a top 5, here's a way to...

Why wouldn't Jackson agree to the PSD? Why does he want his new team to give away a lot of assets? He should want his NEW team to be as successful as possible, not his ex-team/competition.

Isn't he 190cm at 16?

You said it won't be while he IS playing, though, not after he's retired. He's been excellent the last two years.

That would be a net loss of points for next year, though?

I don't think they have a F/S next year, I think it's the following year.

You just listed six Cat A rookies in your post? CAT A ROOKIES 28. Nick Murray 37. Patrick Parnell 40. Ben Davis 41. Jordon Butts 45. Kieran Strachan 46. Brett Turner CAT B ROOKIES 35. James Borlase 42. Tariek Newchurch

Because of the pick trades, obviously.

So - every other club is looking to keep the pick because it's a better draft, but not us. Sure.

I've said multiple times that trading Rankine for pick 5 or more is a loss. Pick 5 for Rankine and 25 is probably par and what I've always said I expected. Splitting 5 and we keep something better than 25 is a better result. I'm starting to dislike the idea of trading a future first - there's...

We were the youngest team every round of 2022.

Yeah, I think a lot of clubs will be looking to move up or into 2023. I think we'd get more takers splitting 5 and moving down than we would trying to pool picks and move up. I think we should instead use 22 and 25 - grab a ruck and maybe a key defender? Or one of the SA mids who've slipped...

Port potentially looking to split that (though they have less need seeing that they can't get anyone to go there), and Phillipou looks like he could fall out of the top ten, so a teens pick could get him.

He's already contracted for next year. There's zero chance he leaves - shit, less than zero.

Brown leaving gets our list back to 36/6. At that point, we can just change the designation of Murray and Strachan, because you can have have 38 main list and 4 rookies, if you want. We lose the salary cap savings but we're unlikely to be at our salary cap limit anyway. The Frampton trade gets...

I think it's becoming clearer the club doesn't want to trade next year's first - so it will have to involve 5 somehow.

How is this not worse than the camp?

**** me, all of this just makes Port look hopeless. Why do they let everything play out in the media?

Rejects trade after a tour of Alberton. Lol

I think you're right with this. North and West Coast would probably decide it's a bad look. Essendon, with $3m in cap room and the public interest in him already? I think they may talk about how they've been a fantastic place for Indigenous footballers to succeed, and grab him.

I'd rather take a pure ruck, or a mid who's slipped down the order.

So that they have room for a free agent approach or two next year.
