Walls talks a big game but odds on based on his prior history and the situation at hand he's going to fold and hand over 10 and 11. Richmond will know that. The question is how much can he squeeze back our way? Salary relief I assume. Were it to be picks then most likely a pick in the 30s or 40s but if he pushes hard is 24 a legitimate aim? Richmond will get 20 from Brisbane for those junk picks they'won't use, so 24 might be attainable?? Or wishful thinking?
I'm pessimistically resigned to losing 10 and 11 now.

List Boss' must live for these 2 weeks, they spend most of the year lurking in the shadows and then for 2 weeks they are the most talked about people in footy.

Melbourne: Happy to deal ANB due to family reasons, Won't budge on Kozzie.
Rioli isn't worth pick 6 to any other club, same as Weller wasn't worth pick 2 to any other club. It's also why the chat around Bolton is two first round picks, he's a desperate need for us and we have the capital to easily trade 2 out. Basically the reason why I don't want any of this years firsts pushed into 2025 just to satisfy the Swans.

I mean a list boss saying this means peanuts, same was said about Ginnivan this time last year.
I do however think Kozzie is certainly not happening this year unfortunately. The smoke has disappeared and that makes me think the fire has been put out.

Exactly the same as we were happy to deal with Schultz but, in the hypothetical that it arose, wouldn't deal with a Young or Serong
How is it dead? Melbourne aren't going to come out and publicly say that they're willing to trade him. At the very least, it would weaken their negotiating position.
It sounds like they really want more picks in this draft. Pick 11 could be a great centrepiece of any trade to get Pickett out of Melbourne.
Kozzie hasn't even officially asked for a trade, why would Melbourne even think of trading him out if he's not pushing it hard on his end.

With Kozzie being contracted we really need him forcing his way out, or the Dees pushing him out for assets. The dees won't push him out and Kozzie isn't doing anything to force his way out (Although behind closed doors we potentially haven't been able to promise a deal gets done which as stopped him pushing).
The noise dying down also suggests it, for whatever reason, has fizzled out.

The Jordan Clark trade is my reference point to counter this. We stood firm on not giving up 19. We did the trade up (might've even been 2 trade-ups?), we gave up a F3 in the trade, but we stood firm on pick 19 being a bridge too far.
Looking at some of the offers Gold Coast are apparently getting for pick 13, I'd hope that we have the same attitude of "keeping pick 11 is a must" as we had for pick 19 that year. In that scenario I think we'd give up a bunch of steak knives, probably an unpalatable amount of steak knives. But I think/hope it's 10 and 18 as the bulk of the trade.

The situation with Kozzie is no doubt the same it has always been: Kozzie wants a trade to Freo, Melbourne won't play ball. Even the most optimistic reports/rumours have firmly positioned Melbourne as the barrier to a trade. After the Bolton trade is done, and keeping our options open for Warner, we don't have the godfather deal that would make them profoundly reevaluate.

Emmett + R2 > Crows (They need currency for Peatling)
Rachele > Melbourne
F1 > Melbourne
Kozzie > Freo
So Emmett + F1 + R2 for Koz?
Melbourne get a replacement and a F1?

At least what I got from that interview is its exactly what it's been sounding like. Melbourne said absolutely no chance. I can live with that, I'd want us to do the same. I'll be stunned if he plays his whole career there though given the wording used. No way he extends on his next contract

Just seems really unfair to the bloke. If they trade Oliver and not him. One has a genuine reason and other not so much.
