Konstanty is the only one from that group that I think could make it, but it sounds like he’s got his papers stamped anyway

Probably waiting on interest in Ladams to work out what to do with McAndrewPresumably the Parker deal gets done towards the end of next week, and we get an idea on what's happening with Mitchell, Ladhams, Konstanty, and any other trade(s) once trade week officially starts tomorrow.
If the club doesn’t want to re-sign Kon and Sid, they may have a bit of trade value - so no way they’d be delisted now.Konstanty, Mitchell ( too slow), Kirk and Francis all very lucky. So far.

Both could be first round picks, especially King.
While Beatson is not great with first round picks, he almost always nails picks when he finds a way to get up the drafter order / create shenanigans to get there (eg. The West Coast pick trade from a while back).
If we go up the order and get Armstrong, I am confident we will have a gun.
Would it be worth us trading our 2 top picks for GC's 13 pick + future 2nd or 3rd (if possible)? We could then use 13 for Shanahan (or whichever KF is considered to be best at that pick), LP pick and pick 58 for our remaining selections.
Future 2nd / 3rd will be useful to match bids in 2025.
Rohan wants to play on....
Now that the Cats have taught him how to show up in big games (sometimes) eff it, bring him home.
Later picks won't be pushed out tho. Given that it takes more than 1 pick to match top picks. Most matches involve 2-3 picks so you end up with say the #58 we currently have i would expect to end up being pick 52 or so when we use it to match Cochran. Will be more obvious next year in what will be the "match" draftWouldn't be surprised if that is what we are trying to do.
Our later picks will likely be pushed out by four with bid matching etc. (Ashcroft, Kako, Lombardo and Marshall)

Yep you referenced later picks so that meant our pick 58 and not 19 and 22 which will get pushed back 3 or 4 each as you saidWe have no second rounder currently so... is kinda moot.
Brissie have pick 20
Dons pick 9
GC 6 and 13
Ashcroft top 5 pick - push back one for pick 19 (brissie first slides ahead of 19)
Dons use pick 9, bid for Kako pick 12ish - push back one
GC keep pick 13 and use it - Lombardo pick 14 or so - push back one
That pushes us back to pick 22 and 24 already.
Marshall gets bid on pick 20, brissie match, push back again.
Likely have picks 23 and 25 if we do not move em on.
Our current pick 58 might go up to around 50 at best
This is just my personal wishlist of players we need in the 22 (ie not just on the list being overlooked by the match selection committee for various reasons):
1. AT LEAST two more small forwards. Preferably one who is damaging with the ball (ie goals, assists) and one who is elite with pressure (ie fast, good tackler.) Ideally they'd be good at both but being realistic, such players are hard to find so I'd settle for one who is strong in each area. I think we desperately need more players that can win the ball and do good things with it at ground level for us inside 50, and players who can pressure and close the opposition's time and space when they have it in our forward 50.
2. TWO more contested types that can run through the midfield. Again, like the small forwards, preferably one who is damaging with the ball (ie hard balls, clearances), and one who can be more of a two-way mid (ie can do tagging jobs.) We need more supply out of the mids beyond just Heeney & Rowbottom, and we also desperately need someone who can shut down opposition mids on the inside (as opposed to Jordon, who is great at his tagging jobs but they are mainly on outside players.)
I think there are players on our list who could potentially fill these roles - Campbell, Cleary, Sheldrick & Mills, in that order - but geez it wouldn't hurt to increase our odds. For that reason I am not at all opposed to names like Finn Maginness and Matt Owies. Though they may be average players to date, they tick the right boxes of what we are lacking, and it's worth remembering that last year Jordon was the average pick-up and Adams the highly-fancied one, and look how that ended up...
Yep, he's another one.We should be all over Riley Garcia.
