If we do get pick 9, I would like to see us get 3 mids. I think pick 7 will be a slider!

There was a suggestion today on Trade Talk that they could attempt to do a swap with GCS for pick #6. Hopefully the Melbourne bid threat quells that idea and trading out becomes there only real option. However if they do look for a future 1st rounder swap then there is nothing preventing all the clubs having a go at it. Melbourne have said they are really keen to get another early pick so I expect pick #9 will become as popular the GCS pick #13 and create a bidding war.

If that occurs us suggesting we wont bid on Kako will have little weight, and the Bombers could do very well out of the situation. The entire industry knows this is a great draft, some clubs will have later future 1st round pick offers, but there will be nothing preventing them from offering a lot lot more. Particularly if players Essendon are interested in come into play.

Now he’s just somebody that we used to know

Now that’s one of your best!

Ivan Soldo a worse ruckman than Barry Brooks but when you factor in the Mrs he’s a player we can’t do without moving forward.

I have already booked my table at next years bnf next to Saldos missus

Why would they give us anything? It’s not their job to entertain the fans bruz

Don't you remember the whining from all the Saints fans when Misson & Lyon installed The Bubble?

I can't see the pick swap happening.
GC need #6 to get the Rioli deal done, min.

And yes, in Winton they know the correct positions to use at the troph.

Now that is classic Aussie pub dunny, I can smell the toilet cakes!

Tonights report contradicts Mitch Cleary's from last night that we were haggling over who pays the salary but thats trade period.

Sounds good for us if true.
If we haven't even picked up the phone to discuss macrae- safe to presume we've been working on more important stuff.

Macrae for stuff all is an excellent get for us, but glad to hear it's seemingly not our biggest fish to fry this year

They wont let Oliver go, their midfield is a shambles as it is.

I don't know about the club itself, but my read from my 30 second scan of the club's trade thread on BF leads me to believe they are hanging to get rid of this guy.

Doggies taking a leaf out of the Dodo trade manual there - talking to the media instead of us and suggesting waaaaay overs

Good little summary of why Suns would be considering the pick 6 fiasco

 

[DougalHoward]

Cause the pick will get eaten by the Lombard bid

Two this year.

Should be a no way

We've been going really hard at the FA market next year every year for about a decade now and all we have to show for it are guys like Cordy and Nathan Brown as short term solutions and Crouch who was under a lot of doubt due to injuries and also just had a drug issue.

The quality FAs either get re-signed, are traded out as pre-agents or go to the big clubs.

There is no way on Earth we should be factoring in the possible acquisition of guys like Balta, Brayshaw or LDU. We need to assume we miss out on them and if we do get lucky and snag one, it's a bonus. Keep some salary available to entice them, sure, but don't discount the worth of future picks on the basis of bringing those guys in.

The other thing we need to remember is that AFL lists have four types of currency to bring in talent, salary cap space, picks, players that can be traded and what I feel is being overlooked is list spaces.

If we go all in on this year's draft, we will still need to take 3 picks next year. I don't want to see us bring in 3 list bloggers from the end of the draft.

LDU
Aleer
King

If we get pick 9. Would we be against taking trainor? Or are we a bit worried about his concussion issues

I would understand if the club is a bit gun shy using a high pick on him after the Paddy experience. I personally wouldn’t use a first rounder, but the club is best to make judgements.

Bing becomes RFA end of 2026 ... I think

Alternatively we would have to trade for?

LDU is RFA at end of next year so North could match ... as could GC with Bing

Josh Battle only signed a two year deal because he was unhappy under Ratten, Lyon came in but obviously still unsettled.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

Yet Battle is going to be reuniting with Ratten again.
