I don't think it would go down too well if I mention what I really think so I will just leave it. It would bring me a great deal of joy however if they were to finish bottom 4 considering how much fun BigFooty would be

If st kilda were smart they wouldn't have tried getting players this year. Stockpiled picks for next year all to get king.
Once Howard nominated Saints they were always going to need future picks to do their deals. I think they hope they can hold their future first but I'm not seeing it. Hope Bell makes then fork it over with 12/13.
Gold Coast won't be that happy with picks anyway. That's hardly rare currency for them, plenty of picks or newly drafted high picks on their books and unlikely to move them to part with such a high prized recruit.
Players are much more likely to get a deal done. So instead of focussing on protecting future picks, the Saints are much better off focusing on which players they have that will be valuable to the Suns.

In the end, I would be stoked with 12-13 and given I know we arent getting their future 1st since they seem to think they are entitled to Ben King then 12 and 13 is the only scenario I see playing out that we are happy with.
Think it will happen and we'll have 4 first round picks this year from the top 15 where picks 3-15 are a deadheat
Will be a good result

So basicly a future 2nd round pick for Langdon? Sounds not very good.
King straight swap for King.
Saints can easily get this done.
First play is to dangle 18 and Stevens or 18 with Bruce for 13 or 14 with Dogs or Geelong and also receive pick 32 or 37.
They’ll then be armed with 12 and 13 or 12 and 14 + pick 32 or 37.
From there it unfolds.

All this talk about the King boy , Is exactly the reason i said on BF last year when people were bringing up Kings name that i would not touch them because the bond between twins is traditionally stronger than normal siblings.And they would want to reunite after the mandatory two year contract .
Wouldn't think so. They need next years first. I think they were expecting us to roll over and take 12 and next years 2nd. Deal with Saints seems unlikely now. Tell Brad we might not be able to get him there, but there are plenty of other teams in Melbourne.
You discount the possibility of a Henry bid prior to that? I do by the way, but most here seem to see him getting an earlier bid and I suspect you have him in that top 15.

It's worth noting that the Hogan trade was widely considered done and dusted before trade period. Then Freo went and split our first pick 6 with port for 11 and 23 (effectively) which put the trade at risk
Eventually 6 came back (via the Neale leg) and over to melb to get the trade done
St Kilda have gone and done the exact same thing we did

We should go hard at Ben King as a middle finger to St Kilda

The 'traditional' bond of twins
Saints should just trade their King to GC for a massive payout this year. Next years 1st, & 2020 Pick 11 & second this year.
Hey Belly, Paddy Ryder wants to play with his cousin Brad Hill. Maybe he wouldn’t mind playing with his other cousin, Stephen Hill. Sure, we don’t need him. But it would be great for lols on the Saints board.

Unless they were to be drafted by the same team interstate they was always going to be likely
The 'traditional' bond of twins
How did you manage to quote them and still take it out of context?
The bond is traditionally is different to 'the traditional bond of twins'.
As a twin myself (you end up having discussions with many other twins) I can tell you that the relationship is completely different to all my other siblings (1 of 5). We went to first days of Pre-primary, primary, high school, graduations, camps etc all together. I love my other siblings but my twin and I have a relationship which is far closer, even than the sisters who are great friends. The whole family knows and it is evident in lots of ways.
Anyway.. if you are going to quote someone, at least do it in context and without changing sentence structure to create a different meaning.

can someone ELI5 how this points/bidding system works?
if the Saints give us 12 and 13 and the Henry bid comes in at say 11, what happens to those picks?

To be honest, I was surprised GCS didn't go King, King, then whoever was left from Rozee/Rankine.
They would never have been able to be traded together, so you've locked them up until FA age.
