We have the 3 Academy boys we’ll have to bid on in 2025
I expect a text from Chad Warner today (swans marketing team) to say he has re-signed for 3-4 years

We have enough points as we can trade 2 years in advance starting next year.

There are good reasons to trade into the future, even if it is a weaker draft:
1. We get a significant premium for doing it (and otherwise we don't do it).
2. We have a lot of depth on our list currently, with plenty of good players struggling to get a game. We don't need to add as much quality youth right now, who may also find themselves starved of opportunities going forward. It's better to push our draft capital forward so that we have players blooming when the likes of Heeney and Papley are approaching retirement.
3. We may need draft capital next year to pay for Academy players. (Club will have a clearer idea about this than I do.)

Sure for a future 1, that trade didn’t include a f1. Not interested in a f2 one bit. Teams will have to pay huge premiums to get into this years draft. North offered their future1 for picks on the teens already and have been knocked back.
We actually do need pieces this year and they are available to us- we need keys, we need a small forward and we sure need an inside midfielder.
Literally makes no sense would rather have more picks than we have this year as it is 3 is annoyingly low

Only thing i raise to this is that if we hold this believe we create a cycling system of using picks years in advance just to cover academy boys. If we can gain marginal value from doing a trade thats gets us more points next year without massively damaging our hand this year then i would be doing it

We won't even need to anyway, will literally be MAYBE an extra second of 2026 that's literally it. If the bids are for arguments side pick 5, pick 20, and pick 35, we will have plenty with an extra second. We will have more than enough if a trade occurs too. Pick 35 will be matched with our third so that's fine, it's only matching the first two and an extra second does that, do it next year, it's easier. Then that's only IF these players actuually are worth that in 12 months, Edwards weas meant to be a top 20 ish pick, went in the rookie draft.

The Hawks deal still retains our draft hand this year, and gives us an additional F1 next year
