Doubt St K and RTB accept a 2024 pick, and don’t think Port will be able to trade their 24 pick into 23 without an overpay (clubs seem less and less willing to do this). Port won’t be that bad next year either, so the promise of ‘we won’t be as good’ to any team to which they offer their 24 1st will be hollow

Or he just waits a year
If he’s desperate to get home and a team is offering good $$, he won’t wait a year
i mentioned crouch as an example of a player who racks up possessions at stoppages but isn't in our 1s and couldn't get another club interested. Laird is an accumulator with little hurt factor, this is why he's not an elite mid and would be a foot soldier in high end midfield groups. Accumulators just aren't valued that highly, good clubs want weapons with the possessions.
of course the AFL would allow a full payout, it's his last year, his contract has the be paid in full in this year's cap. He's on the list because that's the best outcome for him and now that we're past the draft, it's no difference to us. The obsession with needing to see him formally retired is strange. It was understandable pre-draft, but not now.
So the player people on here keep mentioning as a KPD prospect Ethan Phillips overlooked again in favour of an Irish journey man who has played 13 AFL games in his 6 years on an AFL list with the Saints. Seems Brisbane Lions list Manager Dom Ambrogio and Head Recruiter Stephen Conole don't rate him either?

Interesting we took a 192cm midfielder Collingwood cast off who wasn't Caleb Poulter.
Seems like we now know who never made it onto Hamish's YES list.

Kobe is a real goer but we should be really addressing our KPD back up so my preference would be one of 2 SA lads North Adelaide's Shaun Bennier or Centrals Brodie Tuck. Both already solidly built and both capable at both ends. Bennier I'd slightly preference solely on his athleticism but both would be worth a 1 year rookie deal to see what they've got.
Shaun Bennier Draft Profile
North Adelaide's Shaun Bennier is a physically imposing swingman who thrives aerially and possesses a booming boot.

Brodie Tuck Draft Profile
Central District Under 18 skipper Brodie Tuck is a versatile tall who offers aerial impact in each third of the ground.

TBH I've got almost zero opinion on Tyler Brown, other then knowing he's a tall mid. Don't think i've ever seen him kick a footy before. So probably best for me to watch him play before I render an opinion on him.

1 bloody inch Isn't going to make one iota of difference....and he's another with a December birthday so there's a very real chance he'll grow that 3cm anyhow.
Laird isn’t elite but he’s definitely an A grade mid
Is he a great kick - no , goalkicker no … these are the 2 things that hold him back from elite
He’s an elite loose ball get player ( loose ball gets are contested possessions ) , elite tackler , elite clearance and good inside / outside balance
The swans players were apparently taking the piss out of Parker for how much Laird dominated against them
He regularly plays well against some of the best mids in comp
I’d even say he’s underrated by some on here , just because he’s not elite doesn’t mean he’s no good

I had him mixed up with Brodie Tuck re birthdate but 1 inch is nought when you look at Bennier's athleticism and leap.

Yep I reckon both Bennier and Tuck were worth an AFL rookie spot at least, very similar players, both versatile and capable at both ends.
Still think we’ll see Laird/Keays/Berry/Schoenberg as the main midfield rotation, hopefully guys like Laird and Keays spend a little less overall time in there to accomodate for bursts from Soligo/Rachele/Rankine
Can see Soligo spending equal time between mid and wing eventually, a la Merrett

Would hope we find another key position player as we are very light on for depth.
