our F1st to GC for pick #13 which we offer to Port for Houston..
once that deal is done then offer our Pick#2 for Melbournes Pick#5 and #9
We would have traded the F1 for 13 yesterday if we could, no doubt this should be a target for us if Houston falls down. With Freo after Warner we might be able to tempt a sweetener too.
It could just be on the money for a Tauru type, should he get past the Saints and Demons.
In 2017, it wouldn't have been stupid, LOL!!We have 2 current top 10 picks.
Improving one is a better hand.
Trading out 2 for 1 is just stupid.
And after that… stuck in “the vortex”I listened to my first bit of trade radio this morning and they (Kane and whoever was on with him early) said exactly this - they said if North land Houston, Parker and Daniel as well as Darling (even though not convinced about Darling’s value) the club should be looking at around eight wins next season and be pushing for finals the season after.
Houston aint coming, never was, story of the lesser known vic clubs.hypothetically, Would you do:
2+25 for 8+F1?
You can go land gold coasts 13 or Freo’s 11 with our F1 and land Houston.
Overall: North get Houston + P8
for
We Get: 2+25
Does won't trade 9. They just traded everything to get 9.Neither of these are going to happen, Brady has stated we're happy to slide back 3 or 4 picks. The only option at this stage would be 2 for the Dees 5 & 9.
Tauru isn't getting past pick 6 or7 I reckon. Hence us only wanting to shuffle down 3-4 spots max.We would have traded the F1 for 13 yesterday if we could, no doubt this should be a target for us if Houston falls down. With Freo after Warner we might be able to tempt a sweetener too.

Take your sob story to the Saints board, ChampWe have 2 current top 10 picks.

If we're intent on trading our F1, which it seems like we are, would we consider this? Or maybe F1 for Tigers 10 which they'll get from Freo for Bolton? Even if the Houston deal fell over we take that pick to the draft.
I think in both cases we're paying overs, pick F1 – 5 for 10 or 11, but it seems a risk we're prepared to take given we're intent / desperate to improve rapidly.

Madness.
It's an even draft but that doesn't mean every selection in the first 15 is a top 3 pick.
In fact, a lot of people argue the opposite (including me).
It lacks the absolute superstar talent, but has a larger number of players than normal that would be considered top 10 prospects in most drafts and a much larger number of players that would be considered top 20-25 prospects.
Completely agree, I'm not in the trade F1 camp, I'm just posing a question as to what trades we might do given the the club seem keen to trade it.Our F1 is as valuable as Pick 2. Until we prove otherwise.
Possibly even more so in not as even a draft with the possibility our F1 is a pick which precedes a lot of Acadamy and FS selections.
Would you trade Pick 2 for Pick 11 now?
Futures are inherently less valuable than current picks. A new player making their mark in a rookie year can be transformative while your future sits there doing nothing for 15 months until the season after next begins.
I think offering up a F1 (likely top 5 pick), when most other clubs are around the pick 10 shows a high level of desperation.
My personal preference would be to keep our F1 and split 2 with the Dees and take 5, 9 and 25 to the draft I think we could get the best available whilst also addressing our list needs.
Can you change 'we' to 'you'.the only one we will consider splitting 2 with is richmond
I don't think they will either, but at this stage that's the only club I'd split 2 with. Will be interesting to see what Richmond end up with we could do 2 for 6 (from Suns) and 10 (from Freo).Does won't trade 9. They just traded everything to get 9.
He probably wakes up in cold sweats from nightmares if his * trade request went through.Dunkley probably has welts from pinching himself so much, the way his trade turned out.
Unfortunately I think that's where we're at, there's a sense of urgency / impatience, the club knows we can't afford to have another 3 win season next year.I think offering up a F1 (likely top 5 pick), when most other clubs are around the pick 10 shows a high level of desperation.
It's not madness but then I don't want to get married to the future first rounder.
