I know this doesn't fit with everyone's narrative of 'no experienced players please' but yes please...

2017 pick from Adelaide + Cameron for Rocky?

Even 2 for 3+15 sounds reasonable enough.

2 for 3+5 would be an absolute steal. AFL might even have grounds to block that.

2 for 3 & 15 is still pretty awesome, we'd come out well ahead. We drop one spot in the draft and get another first rounder on top? I'd take that in a nanosecond.

2 for 5, 15, 16 would be a solid deal too. Especially with the package options available to combine any number of 15, 16, 19, 21, 30 into single higher picks, or with a Rocky trade, which is what you'd expect as that's a ton of picks to be taking into the draft and the club would want to cull those down as do we have the list space? Likely not.

GWS really need 15 & 16 to match the bids that will come for Setterfield and Perryman. Not sure what other deals GWS have in the works and how many list spots they will be looking to fill, but they will definitely need to trade in another pick in the 17 to 25 range to help match the points needed for Setterfield and Perryman and have a chance of picking up another academy prospect, Sproule and/or Macreadie with the left over points.
 
Brisbane out... Pick 2, Pick 21, Pick 51, Rockliff, Hanley
Brisbane in... Pick 3, Pick 5, pick 8, Frost

GWS out... Pick 3, Pick 5, Marchbank
GWS in... Pick 2, Pick 13, (Gibbs trade) Pick 21

Carlton out... Pick 5, Pick 13 (Gibbs trade)
Carlton in... Marchbank, Rockliff

GCS out... Pick 8, Pick 26
GCS in... Hanley, Witts

Collingwood out... Witts, Frost
Collingwood in... Pick 26, Pick 51
 
How good if we trade 2 for 3 & 5 & essendon follow through on their threat to bid on bowes & setterfield at pick 1

Guaranteed to end up with mcgrath/mcluggage & ainsworth

I actually had this thought. Would be insane.

Go dodoro you cheeky campaigner
 
If we are offered picks 3 & 5 for 2 we must take it, I don't think there's any other option. I can't see it happening though.
That's a pipe dream. No one is going to offer us that. It's safe to say that pick 3 and 5 will be live picks in the draft, unless Essendon bids on the academy players. Even then there is a chance we could get McCluggage at pick 2. Rather keep pick 2.
 
I come in peace (not that I think your lot are as touchy as most other boards)...

The Rocky situation. Hearing some pretty varied and concerning things. If it plays out and you move him on, what sort of character are we actually dealing with?

I Reckon thats just essendon posturing for a pick swap in their favour

Its a ballsy move to bid on a player just to piss off other teams, but they did it to carlron with silvagni last year but its a whole different story playing that game with pick 1

He's a bit of a campaigner at best.

Interpersonally? Rumours of drug use... Accurate or just rumours?

If this is all true, I'd move him on, whether he lobs at the Crows or not. Probably not the type of bloke you'd want around a developing culture

He's a good guy, maybe not a good captain. If you compare him to say Martin who threaten to stab a women with chop sticks, Rocky's harmless, yet your club was more interested in Martin then Rockliff before the trade period started, which I found was a bit odd. He would be a good pick up for you guys if you wanted him. Plus he would cost less the what Carlton are asking for Gibbs, who is older.

He's a Saint. Whatever you're offering we'll take.

So did I... Ability there on both counts but there's not even question marls over dusty... Just legitimate worries

We are fair, and Nobes won't let you guys get screwed either. I've heard reports of a second which I'd pay in a flash. Can't help but think that's unders even with "issues"...

Don't get me started on that deluded lot. Most Crows supporters at least try to be reasonable for the sake of a productive discussion, but with them its impossible.

A second?

Under by a lot

I think a second was mentioned in the context of a player plus pick. On its own the pick would have to be a first you would think.

They will probably stay as rumours...

He needs a big wake up call. Whether that is with the feet of Fagan and Noble up his coight, or at a new home.
