Swap 8 + F1 with Kangas and then ****ing take Tauru with 2 anyway. Then take Armstrong with 7 just for the giggles. Stuff the list rebuild. I only care for the laughs and oppo melts.
Wouldn’t you love it if SOS was interviewed after the draft and said ‘It’s crap for the club but I can’t wait to get on Bigfooty and see the melts’.

Still reckon 8, F1 & 47 for 2, F2 is our best outcome. Move F2 into the second round for an academy club (next year) for a F2 this year, Norths F2 with the new points index will be like gold for a GWS for example. Alternatively, Richmond can go into the future market with a very valuable asset (for the points chasers next year).

What would we prefer?

2, 7, 24 & 32
2, 15, 16 & 32

Of course 7 can still be diluted, but I'd much prefer to pick there.
I’m staying with 7 in that scenario.

And agree on the 2nd rounders becoming very valuable for academy / FS clubs next year. It used to be BS pick 40s and now it’s BS pick 25-30s.
 
I am very keen to know who we are targeting at 15/16. I don’t believe for a second that we just “like that are” of the draft. They must be a bit in love with someone.
 
I am happy to see that St Kilda delistings are starting to become worthy of getting picked up by other clubs. It speaks to the emerging quality of our squad.
This.

A trade has to happen

Rekon the Roos are gonna blink and take 6 + 18 for 2.

They'll get Tauru at 6 so, in their eyes, it's basically 18 for free.

Tigers take FOS and Lalor.
Blues grab Draper.
Crows... Probably Smith. Langford? Smillie?
Dees are keen on Reid?
Roos take Tauru.

Leaves us with whoever is left of the mids the Crows passed on.

Rekon we double down on mids then watch the back half of the first round and jump in for Bo Allen or Luke Trainor a little later on.

Crows like Langford
 
Wait..wasn't the whole point of Essendon trading out pick 9 was so it doesn't get eaten up in the Kako bid. Wouldn't they just be in the same place, except with pick 8 being eaten up. Am I missing something here? Or is it their supporters missing a chromosome?
Reckon Dons got spooked by talk of an early bid for Kako. Well played Dees (who ended up with 9).
 
Holy hell those knuckle draggers haven't progressed from Gresham plus our compo for Sheil. They live in a world of their own brainwashed by years of Dodoism.
Like we need a Future first and some random second for a top ten pick in the best draft in years. F'kn gumby's.
