I'd be very careful sitting out 5 drafts. That's exactly why Eagles are historically bad.I'd give all 3 firsts to Richmond if they pay salary.
Then we can still throw the sink at Chad next year and Swans just take what we've got in trade.

I think we will need to use one anyway with the rules, especially if we’re waiting for Chad and going to miss the next 2 drafts afterwards. 2 lowest plus Saints 2nd will work.I'd give all 3 firsts to Richmond if they pay salary.

I'm sure we would've kept him if he was happy to sit behind Darcy and Jackson for ten years.Bearing in mind though we did fight hard to keep Meek. It was him who chose to leave and not accept our competitive offer.
We might not have enough list turnover to use the picks we have unless we trade.Couple things;
- if we move value to next year I imagine it's to make sure we have enough value for Whan, Hart AND Warner. That's a lot of currency required if the6 are fixing the points system. Whan looks like a possible top 10 talent from the limited vision I saw.
- that Twomey trade proposal has both sides upset, tells you it's closeish
- Pretty sure that 1st round pick rule is all but redundant
I think my ideal off-season is now getting Baker on that 600k talked about by Daniels, passing on Bolton, taking two top picks to the draft and setting up next year with points for the NGA and hopefully Warner.We might not have enough list turnover to use the picks we have unless we trade.
I'm all for trading out of 2024 a bit if we have decent picks we're unable to use. I'd even try and move St Kilda's fourth rounder if we're not going to use it - never know what's happening in 12 months and a 4th rounder might be more handy then.
Whan and Hart should be planned for imo but I think we should be trying to stay in the 2024 draft unless there's an opportunity worth sacrificing two firsts for - Jackson was, Warner is and Bolton probably is.
We are competing with the Eagles, the team with the better draft hand will definitely be taken into consideration at the trade table.The idea of moving first rounders into next year for Warner blows my mind. Warner is out of contract and if he chooses us Sydney HAVE TO TAKE WHAT WE HAVE. The more we have the more they'll want. So this is the year to draft a couple of top end talents and get them developing not in 12 months time. Our 2025 and 2026 1sts get it done for Chad.
Wasn't yelling at you with the caps. Just yelling in general out of frustration at some saying we need to waste these picks by gifting them to Sydney next year.
No way to fit both unless Richmond pay half his salaryNo way we can fit both Bolton and Warner in so if it is Bolton pushing the trade I'd do a token effort this off-season and go next year if Warner falls through.

This mindset has been proven incorrect for many years now.We are competing with the Eagles, the team with the better draft hand will definitely be taken into consideration at the trade table.
there's been nothing following on from the original rumours. I hope he stays, he looks really settled and he's been playing some great football for the team. But I thought the same of Schultz...Acres etc.Has there been any more rumours regarding Switta leaving ?
I hope he stays but I felt the same way about Shultz..if he wants out there's not much we can do
Switta for Baker?

Yeah but what if Warner doesn't want to screw over Sydney so he picks the club with the best picks? I suppose you are correct though.No it won't. Warner either decides Sydney, Freo or WC. Then if it is a trade, the details are worked out with his destination club. Sydney won't be able to make Warner choose the club with the best hand. Nor will Warner care who has the best hand, he will go where he thinks it is best for his career.
and THIS is how I have felt all alongI think my ideal off-season is now getting Baker on that 600k talked about by Daniels, passing on Bolton, taking two top picks to the draft and setting up next year with points for the NGA and hopefully Warner.

I understand the concern mate, but there is no way in the world a competitive beast like Warner selects West Coast over us.Yeah but what if Warner doesn't want to screw over Sydney so he picks the club with the best picks? I suppose you are correct though.
I really hope Switta stays - there's only been those early whispers, but maybe his bromance with the rest of the team will help him decide to stay.there's been nothing following on from the original rumours. I hope he stays, he looks really settled and he's been playing some great football for the team. But I thought the same of Schultz...Acres etc.
I would be VERY surprised if he went to WCI understand the concern mate, but there is no way in the world a competitive beast like Warner selects West Coast over us.
He'll want to go from one winning team to another. I guarantee it.

Where did you pull those rankings from out of interest? I think Hart has had an average year from all reports but Whan looks incredible (refer futoblista comments from the other day). Probably swap them at the moment but it's the same thing anyway.With out knowing the new point system is hard to tell.
I think we need at least two 2nds next year, and if they do the point system fair and hart stays a top 10 pick we need another first.
Warner for 2 first round picks. 1 is our future.
Hart uses the other, Whan takes our 2nd
Hopefully they sort it out soon
And if Richmond are smart they should be hungry for our picks. Long rebuild ahead and this draft is a great platform before Tassie comes in.That trade is basically saying Bolton for 6 + 12, and Baker for 15. Both are way too much.
Maybe do the Bolton part if Richmond pay a significant chunk of his salary until his contract runs out (end of 2028).
We shouldn't be giving up more than the Saints 2nd for Baker.
We should take a Duursma and use him as future trade baitTwo bonus top 30 picks nice

he is related to Rick?Where did you pull those rankings from out of interest? I think Hart has had an average year from all reports but Whan looks incredible (refer futoblista comments from the other day). Probably swap them at the moment but it's the same thing anyway.
Club will have enough forewarning I imagine to plan appropriately. I think if they fix it properly we'll probably need at least a first for one of them to march the bid.
