As long as it has nothing to do with our 1st draft pick. An inform and focussed Oliver is a standout. A distracted and not in form Oliver might be the player we get so we have to quarantine that pick 4 or 5 we get this year as there is too much young midfield talent there to miss out on.
The Irish are crazy, but there is some elite running here, if we need a wingman, I'd be sniffing around some of these lads.

I can't see Draper lasting to pick 9 in the open draft.Melbourne currently have pick 9, we could swap firsts and still get Draper, 5 for 9 and Oliver and his contract

I didn't say pay a first, I said downgrade our first four spots.No way we’re paying a first and taking Oliver’s contract. It’s one or the other and I’d suggest we take his contract but he’s either free or we get a pick with him.
This is tough one.
His best has been top 3 AFL midfielder but how confident are we that he can return to that and how much draft/trade capital do we offer up?
- Known/suspected drug issues
- Form has been a long way off this season. More than i think an interrupted preseason can account for.
- He's on a huge contact with a lot of years remaining.
- Does his age (27) align with our list demographic and when we expect to be competing.

can't quite see how you defend?
its obviously not a tackling sport - just hope your stick blocks their shot?
Actually. I’ll be done if we even trade this year’s first for him.No bloody way should we pay two first rounders for a potentially cooked 27.5 year old Oliver. Would set us back like the Gibbs trade.

But we all know the flogs running our club don’t care about long term.

I really hope the boys at 5AA ignore this story tomorrow:
Get Olliver and English in the side next year, need to upgrade to Gold Membership.

Not for me, think he’s almost done. The trajectory is not good. Also we have too many holes in our team. If we were closer, maybe take the risk but we aren’t. Let the demons pay him and keep him

I would happily take his whole wage on and not use pick 5 - just go one short on the list and save $200k which is about what Melbourne would pay anyway

His form this year has been terrible. Is that all because he had no preseason? For someone that has been in the system this long, missing a preseason shouldn't affect him this much? Or is his form because there's tension between him/club.This is tough one.

Would be elite but doubt they take this and doubt Draper is still available.Melbourne currently have pick 9, we could swap firsts and still get Draper, 5 for 9 and Oliver and his contract

We need to temper this expectation.
Firstly WCE are almost certainly going to ask and get a priority pick. We are also likely to win several of our remaining games which will push us away from 5 anyway.
I also have a feeling we will want two first rounders this year. So that either means splitting this years pick or selling next years first to get a 2nd pick this year. Purely to use in case of a Welsh Bid.
So any first rounder we sell to melbourne is likely to be mid teens.
Basically dont get two excited about a top draft pick this year. Unless we walk away from Oliver and want to hit the draft and trade up.
