I’d be surprised if Sam and the footy dept are not prioritizing speed and strength through the draft. It’s the way forward.

Caleb Poulter comes to mind as a tall slowish inside mid with a tidy left foot to come through the draft recently in the same draft range.

Probably a better comp than pendlebury.

 

[KermitJagger]

Not a Howe clone. He has composure with a really nice kick. Additionally, he's almost key position size as well. I think he'll be gone by our second rounder though. I'd be rapt if we snared him.

That sounds like a Howe clone

Yep. Which makes our early picks interesting if tsatas and humper are gone. Clark seems the pick but doesn’t really tick the speed or strength/power boxes.

That’s what I thought

 

[SunshineHawkCal]

I'd rather take a mid and then Lemmey with pick 24.

Don't you think 24 abit early for Lemmey?

 

[Hawk the Talk]

A bit of talk about GWS being open to trading out of pick 19. Would be handy if we can get that done, I would think it would be 24 and one of our 4 3rd rounders if we were to make it happen.

Just send a pick in the 40's with Dogs future 2nd

Aren’t they open to trading it because they won’t use the pick? If so, can’t see why they’d want pick 24. Think it would need to be future picks only.

Bulldogs future 2nd for 19 Maybe?

Unlikely that would suffice.. I would dangle our F2 for 19+31 & maybe give back 41 or 48.

I think Giants will want to win this trade, they have 5 spots open on their list

They have 5 spots open on their list, probs just trying to get a jump on next year's draft

If they have their eye on risky project players that can be got with late picks to complement the top talent on list, then better to bank these picks to future. They have 57 & 61 too which can be used to make bets on rucks or risky KPP.

 

[Hawks_Footy]

Giants apparently taking 5 players at the draft (including an academy boy Rowston).. so 1,15,18, 19/31 & Rowston (match bid with late picks)… makes sense to trade 19 as it has great value and 31 doesn’t but might get you the same player… f2 & 48 for pick 19 should be our starting offer

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

Pick 19 is the first pick of the second night, which tends to generate a fair amount of interest from all clubs. I doubt we would be prepared to give up what GWS would be asking for, as unfortunately they aren't quite as generous/incompetent as The Suns.

Future 1st yeah?
They may view our F2 as close enough.

 

[FB19]

Bulldogs future 2nd for 19 Maybe?

19 is first pick night 2 they won’t trade it until then unless they get a huge offer early and it will focus on future picks.

I don't think so. Our board doesn't think we should trade 19,31 for st kildas 2023r1.
I think we could do 19,31,2023r3 for your 2023r1.
I doubt you accept though.

Yeah not a chance we'd give up that first for that package.

 

[chopflop]

Don't we have a hypothetical pick trade thread already?

And, isn't there a draft and trading board for oppo supporters to post their inane hypotheticals?

 

[chopflop]

Don't you think 24 abit early for Lemmey?

Lemmey will be closer to 24 of the rookie draft I would have thought

 

[rei154]

What are the boards views on Ginbey?

He's an interesting player but I feel like I've seen/heard little of him, but from what I've seen he seems like a real exciting prospect- almost a safer Phillipou option.

Clark is a dead set gun

Jhye Clark might not last until Geelong’s first pick.

It’s going to be really interesting to see what we do, I personally have no idea.

We were mentioned in that article.

I won't be surprised in the slightest if we call him out.
