Not as much as we need some assertive movement in the forward line.

They go hand in glove.

 

[Grimey Sylvia]

Only way trading F1 might work - and I'm not saying it will but...

• Soft draw from finishing bottom 6
• Ultra defensive teams have a habit of grinding out wins they don't deserve
• Gawn, Trac and Koz can have those out of the box games
• We haven't had a proper long preseason for 4 years, may snag a few games early and momentum can help a lot
• Pick 13 in a draft this deep could be equal to top 10 pick next season
• Faster we freshen up the list the better - I need something to keep me remotely interested but also FA interested in coming
• Perennial basket case teams above and below us that always find a way to underperform

I would be way more interested in one of the saints picks or suns first pick but can't see that happening.

I could see us dropping back a few picks to essendons as they want to get ahead of Kako bid.

is still on track to be completed early in the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period, with a future selection expected to be tabled for Giants midfielder James Peatling.

Melbourne premiership player Neal-Bullen will return to South Australia for family reasons, with the Crows set to part with pick 28 to land the half-forward, who is contracted for two more years with the Demons.

That deal is expected to be one of the early transactions of this year's trade period, potentially done as early as Monday when the trade gates open.

Adelaide's next picks in this year's draft are No.45 and 63, leaving the Crows expected to use a future second-round pick to attain Peatling, who this week requested a trade from Greater Western Sydney to Adelaide.

So originally pick 25, will probably turn into pick 31 or 32 lol. The AFL draft is wild.

 

[Demon Attack]

Future second for Peatling could end up an absolute steal he looked really good this year.

Probably what ol mate Lamb will offer for Derksen

 

[booshboy]

don't hate the idea of trading our F1 if this year's draft is as stacked as people say, even though I think we'll be giving up a top 4 pick next year.

 

[Bluelegs]

Yeah it's a gamble but it all depends on how who we rate.

Rivers 2.0 here we come

Just trade back if its as deep as people say

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Opinions on a draft class change all the time. People weren't that keen on this draft class not that long ago, now its this epic deep draft. When people say its deep I dont think its coz there is more talent, i think its more a case of there not being clear standouts at the top unlike in other years.

 

[Topkent]

Yeah don't trade out of next year. Leaves the next coach with nothing to work with next year after Goody goes and puts the new coach under massive pressure to not finish low because we won't have a pick

I think is because the mids started out strong and then a bunch of KPPs stepped it up in the last half a year.

Someone's also got to be willing to take that deal.

If we have a year bad enough to get Goodwin sacked there will definitely be some picks coming in from players leaving.

Freo the obvious. If you could get 9 or 10 & 17 for 5

Possibly. Depends what Richmond are asking for Bolton.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

As I said yesterday. Maybe the players stay on when they see that they wont have to play boring football. If I was a player and Goodwin left id be more inclined to stay than if he was here for 2026.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Forgot about that. You'd think 9 would get it done?

Petracca will be 30, I don't think we're selling him a rebuild even if we're playing attacking footy.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Id honestly be fine with trading back to 8-13 and adding a future first (potentially more). If you wanted to use that teams future first to get back into this draft id be fine with that. Just not interested at trading our own.

 

[Topkent]

If we have a year bad enough to get Goodwin sacked there will definitely be some picks coming in from players leaving.

Yeah but that's not a positive if we get pick 13 for Kozzy leaving or pick 25 for Rivers leaving. Giving up a potential top 5 pick to get pick 14 this year seems stupid to me

 

[Bluelegs]

Forgot about that. You'd think 9 would get it done?

9 seems low for a player of Bolton's quality. Would you be happy with 9 for Pickett?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Collingwood went thru the same thing when McRae took over with their vets. They are probably more an outlier but you never know.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

9 seems low for a player of Bolton's quality. Would you be happy with 9 for Pickett?

Dunno, with player power these days and if they are going to a state with only two teams its hard to get a fair value most of the time I think.
