Which is a junk pick, I would think I want to come out a second ahead of I’m doing a deal like thisGoing off the scale that is even enough, ~ 450 points, the equivalent of us overpaying by pick 44

I agree, I would do both our first and a second before giving up fremantles first. even if it falls at 10 it is a great pick next year.Pick 13 and Freo's 2023 first is probably more what they'd be asking for given that has a very good chance of being top 10 imo.
Id be on the fence with that, which probably means it is a fair trade.
Can't touch 2024 yet mateI hope we are looking to trade even one, if not two, of our 2024 1st Round picks. We're in the window now, and regardless as to whether next year is a 'super draft' (the next one seemingly always is), I want to keep building now. We have exciting players in Laurie, JVR, Howes who haven't even played AFL footy yet. Let's keep loading up year on year, and allow them time to develop. 14 and 17 are apparently on the table from Sydney - imagine if we offered them one of next year's first round picks and say 37, and then we would have 13, 14 and 17. I'd rate that, either to use, or to try and trade into the top 10.
Whoops. Meant 2023. Done that plenty this week at work, for some reason feels like we're already in 2023.Can't touch 2024 yet mate
Anyway, back on topic. Are people hoping that we trade up or trade down (and strengthen our hand in next years draft) or keep our current picks? What are peoples preferences.
Points are a garbage metric. Pick 4 is statistically more likely to be a very high quality (if not star) than three teens picks.Just for shits and giggles, using the NFL Draft pick value/trade chart for that proposed trade:
Melbourne Get: Pick 4 = 1800, Pick 22 = 780 Total: 2580
Essendon Get: Pick 13 = 1150, Pick 37 = 530, Future Firsts of Melb & Freo (Approximating going off this years results) = 2250 Total: 3930
Essendon win that trade by 1350 points , the equivalent of Melbourne overpaying by pick 9
Seems like a legit Dodoro Bigfooty account

Completely ignoring the fact that if we do that deal and the the pick 4 is a bust we've completely ruined our future by training away 2 years worth of decent picks. Youd wanna be sure that you're taking a Petracca or Daicos before you completely crippled the clubs hand for 2 yearsPoints are a garbage metric.

Quality over quantity every time.
But I agree - the Freo pick is the risk. I'd try for one of our seconds before giving it up.
I'd definitely give up all three for pick 2 (Sheezel) though.
Of course not. Pick 10, 17 and 19 in the right recruiters hands are still great picksAre you sure about that?

For a pick ~4 I'd do a 10 and 15 type trade. 3 is just insane to me that's your whole draft from 2 years invested into one bloke, it's a 22 man sportJimmy Toumpas was pick 4.
There is risk in every decision TK - I would have thought with your likeness for the punt wouldn't need that explained. And you can never be sure of a Track or Daicos.Completely ignoring the fact that if we do that deal and the the pick 4 is a bust we've completely ruined our future by training away 2 years worth of decent picks.

Would you do it for Oliver? He was a 4th pick.
We gave up pick 2 for 9 and a later pick.There is risk in every decision TK - I would have thought with your likeness for the punt wouldn't need that explained. And you can never be sure of a Track or Daicos.

No one is giving up a top 5 pick for two teens picks. You have to pay high to get them for a reason.
I'm not a recruiter nor a list manager - but if our guys thought the guy we could get with that top 5 pick had those elite attributes I'd be more than comfortable.
I totally agree with this answer. I back the recruiting team because they've earned it. So the draft is really a win win in my opinion. If we take Jefferson, I'll be happy because we get a key forward to shut me up but if we don't it means Taylor didn't rate him which I'll back. If we trade up, then it's a win because Jason obviously rates the guys in the top 5 or 6 really high but if we trade down I think it's also a win because it means Taylor believes we're getting value.Depends what the recruiting team think. I’m happy to back their judgement. Very sitting on fence answer but they deserve benefit of the doubt.
One thing I will say though is if we trade into next years draft we could go really hard at Ben king.
I probably would too.Points are a garbage metric. Pick 4 is statistically more likely to be a very high quality (if not star) than three teens picks.

we do need key forwards. 2 good ones we need. u disagree with this?The same guy who says we need 6 key forwards thinks we should trade all of our picks for a midfielder taken at 4. Ok
Phillipou sounds like he's gonna be a gun. Probably end up at the bombers, which upsets me.
Would love him learning his craft off Trac.
