When you get bonafide guns like Treacy and others with late/rookie picks you can afford to cash some first rounders

Bolton and management are the ones exploring for an avenue back to WA not the other way round. Your 2nd point, Bolton has 2 flags and is looking for family support. Pass. Holding out for Warner.The point is that if you want a contracted player , you need to pay overs.
He would give you a definate shot at a flag.
Draft picks 7 and 12 are equvalent to pick 2 by the draft calculator.
We would probably consider that but nothing less I reckon.
Yep, even with our drafting being as good as it is, we still ended up with Ras as a pick 10 unable to break into a regular b22 3 years after drafting him, I’m not calling him a bust yet, but just because you take someone in the 1st round doesn’t mean they’ll contribute in their first 3-4 years.When you get bonafide guns like Treacy and others with late/rookie picks you can afford to cash some first rounders
Good lad Dave
The draft is always a lottery though.“So if it misses, I don’t think it’s the biggest of concern”
Considering the talent in this draft, yeah it is a concern.

Mate, you'd have to be a complete nuffy to think that means anything other than "Bolton wants to leave"
I think you need to enrol in a PlayerManagerese language course

in 4 yearsIf Bolton wants out you definitely don’t pay overs. 1 first rounder at the most. Otherwise let him walk once he out of contract
Not convinced, we are lamenting our entire spine of Treacy, Darcy and Pearce missing being the reason we haven’t won the last 2-3 weeks, not a single 1st rounder there. Yet Brodie and Ras are both 1st rounders who can’t get a game.Our genuine guns other than Treacy and perhaps Darcy, Ryan and Cox on their day are all first round draft picks.
We killed it in 2016 and got lucky with Treacy in a Covid year but otherwise good late picks have been adding mature agers that had a clear path to the best 22.
GC aint giving up 5I’ve seen pick 5 and 20 for Dan Rioli bandied about?
Am I going insane here. On what planet is he worth that? Certainly not earth anyway.
AFL would surely intervene if that were to happen
It's now or never for Bolton mateIf Bolton wants out you definitely don’t pay overs. 1 first rounder at the most. Otherwise let him walk once he out of contract

We are currently chasing Warner and Bolton, both genuine A graders neither were taken in the 1st round, picking kids and projecting where the end up us still an inaccurate science.
you can have our future first no problem.Future pick to us from you I'm saying, eg pick 10 plus a future first round from you.
Only rumours i see about Fyfe retiring are people on socials say "I think he could retire" If our 2nd best player of all time was retiring his send of tour would've been announced by nowBrodie you imagine is gone. I guess if the Fyfe retirement rumours are true there's a spot there, but can't see Brodie leading that pack. Johnson, Raz, and now maybe even NOD have more of a shot there, and they're not gonna get worse. Don't know if Richmond is the best destination.
Raz you'd think is a non-starter. Can't see us doing a trade for less than what Geelong got for Clark, and can't see a team offering that. Seems less likely to be desperate to leave anyways.
Have a funny feeling we'll tell them to get ****ed.Have a funny feeling Richmond ask the question about Darcy for the Bolton trade![]()
Actually you put it that way, am all for it. The Schulz pick for Bolton plus a future first. That’s reasonable .It's now or never for Bolton mate
Do we delay the rebuild to haggle over some picks or just get it done? remember this pick 9 came from Schultz AND we already have a good young talent in Coops to show for it.
The longer we push the rebuild back, the more players get unsettled
Why do I feel, this stinking feeling, that Sturt will be used in a trade for Bolton?
Wash your mouth out with soapWhy do I feel, this stinking feeling, that Sturt will be used in a trade for Bolton?
He hasn’t signed.It might help if you could you make this a question with multiple choice options as answers and we can all have a go at it.
We have stuck by him with his injurys..He hasn’t signed.
He’s Victorian.
Coaches take ages to select him.
He hasn’t played enough games for the club to recognise his ability and potential.
Bolton is a medium forward. Direct replacement more or less if the club sees it that way
