Agree. Wright has always played his cards very close to his chest and expect his under-studies will do likewise.

If we are leaking information, it's for another purpose.

Campbell.

If we had pick 2 we bid on him and make the Swans sweat, do they blink with DGB/Logan still on the board?

If we can walk away from this draft with McDonald or DGB that would be a great result. As much as I like Phillips and Hollands, we need key position players more so than midfielders.
 
I want a tall. They are harder to come by than mids.
 
Yeah Campbell is the guy we want, 100%

This is how I read it:

Trade Pick 4, 24 and a future 3rd for the Roos pick 2 & pick 39. Place a bid on Campbell.

If the Swans match this, we then trade pick 2 to the bombers for picks 6 & 8 and we then grab 2 of Perkins/Cox and Phillips who we have been doing a lot of work on in the last week. If this fails we just grab McDonald/DGB.

Although having said this, someone from the Roos forum did say there is some AFL rule saying we can't trade pick 24 back to them. I was not aware of this, can anyone else clarify this? AFL rules can be a bit of a grey area, because it feels like the AFL just picks and chooses when to apply it

I actually don't mind this phantom although we'd probably take a small forward like Winder (if available) over another project tall with out last pick. He also seems fairly certain we're interested in Max Holmes. Twomey also mentioned we were interested although had him going to Melbourne at one of their firsts. Davo-27 any insight into Holmes?
 
So basically the media have no idea who Adelaide will take with pick 1/2, think North will take Hollands at 2/3, Sydney will take DGB at 3/4 and have no idea after that - what a strange year!

Thilthorpe!

I know I keep saying it but it doesn’t matter what happens in the first three picks, there’s gonna be some serious class left on the table ready for us to grab.

Thilthorpe has one of the highest ceilings in this draft but he also has the lowest floor IMO. Could be anything from Tom Lynch to David Hale to Peter Wright to Tyrone Vickery. Would be happy with the selection but there's considerable bust potential though I guess you could say that with any pick.

That rule was brought in to stop situations where (for the sake of example) a bid for Campbell at pick 2 makes the Swans trade out pick 3 and a future fourth for another clubs future first, they then use late picks to match the bid for Campbell, and then afterwards trade their original pick 3 (now pick 4) back in for just the future first with the same club.

Essentially in that instance the Swans would have paid another club a future fourth rounder (or whatever the going rate is for this service) to protect their first pick from having to be used as part of matching the pick 2 bid.

If we're to follow common sense here then it shouldn't be an issue with our situation with North Melbourne. They traded us that pick last year well before this years draft order was known. And it's also clearly not being done with the intention of manipulating the bidding system. But the AFL doesn't really follow common sense or write their rules in such a way as to avoid unintended consequences. So who knows if they'd block the trade or not.

Makes sense, thanks heaps for that. It will definitely be interesting to see how this all unfolds for us on Wednesday night
 
I am happy with any of the top options we are a chance at but i think i am more keen on Thilthorpe than i am McDonald. TT has potential to be a unique player like we haven't really seen before in the AFL.

Ten plus years of David Hale? anyone would take that (Pick 7 2001) can we get Lake at 71?
