That's probably dependent on them keeping Patton and paying him a big contract and them also offering Boyd a decent pay rise to keep him away from Carlton. After that they will be far more willing to trade ahead of next years major contract negotiations.Me likey

If we were to trade it I'd rather it be for a runner like WHE instead of another KPP. We have a number of young KPP that need development. Adding some classy outside run might allow us to use guys like Martin and Cotchin as forwards more often.

Just had a look at PRE. I wouldn't be getting too excited with what is posted over there.
Nah, just interested to know where folks think Tomlinson would lie in this draft pool really. I rate him, but there's always the worry that you'll pass on total gun to get him. Laverde and Weller seem the most likely to bite us if we pass on them IMO
I think it depends on if we keep Griff. If we do, then hit the draft.

what is everybodys thoughts on tom lamb, i feel hes probably top 5 on talent just his attitude and workrate suck.
would love him running off half back just our pick is probably a touch early. I think anyone with a brain knows we need outside ball users with pace with our first pick eg ahern and weller but passing on this guy might bite us like fyfe.

For mine just get the kid who gives us come outside class and speed, while still being capable of winning their own footy. Not too fussed if it's a kid from the draft of a trade for a ready made Giant/Sun kid. We get that and our midfield gets that extra dimension to it that it's lacking.

I was not that excited by him but he did look good running down the wing on the weekend!

Don't agree. In fact Tomlinson and Griffith's can compliment each other as well as JR who prefers being deeper.
As we a getting further up the draft list it is getting harder to get quality from the draft. Initially I thought Tomlinson might have limited upside but now I am not so sure. If we got Tomlinson we would not have to worry about a CHF with Griffith's as well and Tomlinson may be able to assist in defense to.
Not the worst option as he could actually open up a few options for us IMO in terms of versatility and team synergy.
In theory Tomlinson can provide the extra athletism, marking target with suitable size and movement at half forward to support Griffith's and Lids, Dusty remembering Griffith's at times will be in the ruck to. Griffith's and Tomlinson can operate in different areas at half forward. The beauty about Griffith's is he doesn't' have to play a central centre half forward and can drift up the ground and around. The main benefit with Tomlinson is as a mobile lead up option, which the team is still deficient in as well as assisting in defense without losing a lot of running power

Pick 11.
Frawley may push it out to Pick 12.

24 hours ago I would have said another key forward however with our signings, Mcbean , vickery and astbury out of today's side, we need to bolster an undersized midfield. With our first selection, hopefully a quality selection

Pick 1...
Wouldn't be against trading it for a quality mid in their early 20's who is ready to go and contribute now.

Trouble is there is little quality around first pick, and its hard to get required quality mids from clubs atm with little available
Pickett or Ahern. We need some speed our midfield is too one paced.

I fear they are not good enough, Pickett is a bit risky and short to. Will they be competitive at AFL level and height maybe an issue. Later pick maybe but with our pick really need potential premium types I would have thought.
Someone like Laverde yes but can't see him lasting..

Pick 1...
De Goey for me. Or trade for Shiel if we can.
