2024 Picks



2025 Picks

That's my thinking & why it would likely only be considered on Draft Night:
1. Who is still there, &,
2. Do we have bigger plans for 2025 & beyond.

This play would give us 2x 2025 1sts, with the ability to trade 2x future 1sts. Pick purchasing could net us another 1st, so there's a scenario where we could access 5x 1sts in 2025, if all played out that way.

I reckon I'd look to sell a late 1st to keep our side together or help fund role-specific targets via Free Agency (LDU etc. ).

I think players like Sims Zak Johnson Charlie Nicholls might get as deep as 45 or later so if we can trade back for our benefit then all good. But equally I think there is a world where at 33 Faull and Gerreyn are available and you simply take one even Sims works for me. It’s a nice place to be.

Think it’s pretty simple.

We either trade up 33 for an earlier pick (with futures) or sit tight and use 33.

Match a bid on Cody (ideally late so no deficit). Possibly a bid goes a lot earlier then we like and we pass - then we may try to trade up (if have anything left).

Re-rookie Gunston.

This. There will be no juggling it's a trade for a target or pick 33.

Yeah, I don't see anything else happening.
If we trade up to get our target then great - we've identified a talent and we got him.
If we don't then pick 33 will still get us a tall fwd we can put work into.
