I think 1 top end player is significantly more valuable to us than a very good player and another chance at a good player.

Especially if that player fills a need. Sounds like a Lindsay or Traviglia attempt which I am ok with, however boring Wednesday would become.
Yeah I’d quickly fall into line but if it’s a trade up attempt for Allan I’m not sure if I get it, other two fine with

Id normally think no chance as well but seems like it only costs a future 2nd to give from 4 to 2. Weird draft.

The GWS one makes a lot more sense though
Adelaide don’t have a F2 so not sure where all that talk came from. North said this morning that it has been heavily overstated them pushing back. For the right deal they would consider it. So I don’t believe F2 to push forward from 4 to 2 is accurate.

Yeah, Adelaide are supposed to find one. Honestly, I wouldn't trust a word out of a list managers mouth this time of year so it doesn't matter too much what North say IMO.

Random idea after watching Cal’s pick swap segment.

If the player we really want isn’t on the board at 17, do we consider the following:

17 (14) > North F1
Freo F1 > 21 (18)

For the cost of a 3 pick downgrade we end up swapping our Future 1 for Norths F1??
 
After pick 30

Draft picks: 14, 30, 67, 81, 89 (likely to use three selections)

Fremantle has looked at trading up by packaging its first two picks to shift up the board whilst rivals have thrown future first-round picks at them to see if they will trade out of No.14. The most likely scenario, however, is to stick at No.14, which would be the first of three picks for the Dockers, who have nominated South Fremantle's Jaren Carr, the son of former Docker Matthew, as a father-son. They haven't committed to taking him but he is a chance late or as a rookie. The Dockers have looked closely at Sam Toner, the Dandenong Stingrays forward, whilst having also tracked Werribee VFL half-back Riley Bice. Tall forward Charlie Nicholls, local Cody Angove, midfielder Damon Hollow, tall back Tom Bell and mature-age small forward Baynen Lowe are others who could be in the mix as later options. The Dockers will grab former Cat and Power midfielder Quinton Narkle as a pre-season supplemental period signing, whilst also upgrading rookie Karl Worner to the senior list.

That's a pretty nice list of names to be linked too imo; I'm a big fan of Bice, Angove and Toner. Bell and Nicholls are fun developmental options too
 
Twomey got the whole top 20 mostly spot on last year. He had the GWS picks back to front (but correct players), and the only thing he stuffed up was Curtin and O'Sullivan. And even then, in the comments he said Adelaide were trying to trade up to get Curtin, and O'Sullivan was one of the main 3 options for Geelong.

Maybe this draft is a bit different with it being less clear cut, but I reckon Berry to Freo is looking like a 70-80% chance of happening.
