Doesn't the bolded suggest we may have the whip hand. We might interested in trading 2, but nothing has shown me we are desperate. Here's the chance for Richmond to pick the two best players they want or Saints to pick perhaps number 2 on their board, could even be number 1 on their board. We have to be happy, very happy, with the deal.......Not, "Yeah we took em to the cleaners" happy, but pleased with the outcome. There's nothing wrong with us taking FOS or Lalor iMO and then trading in later with our F1. You always pick the best player.Gents, I say this with complete respect to you as it’s your board.
But the club with the whip hand here won’t be the club trading P2. You’ll select the offer you like best.
But the reality is, is that only 2 clubs can facilitate a realistic deal. So rule Melbourne out because they aren’t trading a pick out for your F1.
Richmond may give you 6. But the second pick will be 18 at best unless you are also throwing in your F1 - as per the herald sun
The only other club here is mine. We can give you a fair deal that gets you one of your key targets - we won’t be in competition with you for them. But 7 would represent a massive strategic pick for us if we did grab 2. Which is why it’s likely 8 that gets moved.
Melbourne won’t reach for Armstrong at 5. There won’t be a tier 1 mid at 9.
Richmond could take Armstrong at 6. But likely take the last or second last tier 1 mid.
7 would then give my club either the last tier 1 mid in this scenario OR its choice of any of the tier 2 players and at this point the Giants at 15+16 may appeal more - which you would imagine they make that trade and take Travaglia.
You would be guaranteed to land one of Tauru or Armstrong
Saints competition is Richmond.
) because you want more of this years first round quality and you can move into the draft and grab the bloke rising in similar fashion to Bont or Oliver late on or the most consistent tall in the class.
