[Keystone agony]

I think if North really want the #1 pick they'll probably need to trade #2 + a pick around 8 or 9. Is it worth splitting Pick 9? #9 + #31 (2075 pts) for #15 + #18 (2097 pts)?

Certainly something like that is an option

Id probably want a bit more for us

9 isnt a mile off the mark for 15 and 18 alone with the apparent tiers of the draft group

Id consider giving up our entire 4 pick hand for 15, 17 and 18 i think

Im not convinced on Caddy (Only because i havnt seen him enough) but if hes there at 9 hes one id like to take and then move 35 or 31 up 3-4 spots with the suns. Ideally 31 into 27 and not bid on Read or Rogers at 9

 

[Red Black and Blue]

We only have 3 senior list spots available

The max is at 38, weve filled 35

Guess they are still making their mind up on someone OOC?

 

[eth-dog]

In terms of overall list spots we have:

In: Hunter (MSD), McKay, Goldstein, Gresham, Duursma
Out: Stewart, Lord, Zerk-Thatcher, Phillips, Montgomerie, D'Ambrosio, Walla, 2x Cat B.

We have 7 out and 5 in effectively. Given Baldwin has to be promoted, our rookies are currently Voss, Wanganeen, Menzie and Hunter. Hunter, Voss and Snelling are still OOC.

Effectively we have 2 open list spots coming into the draft, and a max of 3 open primary list spots, so that pick 61 definitely can't be used at this stage.

 

[Keystone agony]

Guess they are still making their mind up on someone OOC?

No, the 35 are all contracted for beyond this year

The 35 doesnt include Snelling, whos the only ooc

Theres a chance we delist Voss and place Snelling on the rookie list still

Then take 3 in ND

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

The whole trade radio period is talking
Bunch of over paid plonkers talking more crap than most of us would after 10 pots at the pub.

Comrade, 10 pots is about the point when I start making the most sense.

I don't mind the bit of business by Jackets this year. I think we overpaid Port for the BZT/Duursma trade (having 3 F4s would have been a nice hand for any points trades either this year or next) but a pretty minor quibble given the quality we've brought in for no or low prices.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Is delist Snelling and draft Mannagh from the vfl. Only if he’s available at 61.

 

[Zach Package]

Snello in strife.

Given the weakness of the draft I’m inclined to treat 2024 as a rookie KPF straight shoot. Whoever performs better out of Hunter and Voss survives.

 

[eth-dog]

I think Snelling and Voss get cut. Not sure about Hunter, but I hope we retain. He has talent. Gives us up to 3 ND spots and 1-2 RD spots.

 

[MightyDon]

In terms of overall list spots we have:

In: Hunter (MSD), McKay, Goldstein, Gresham, Duursma
Out: Stewart, Lord, Zerk-Thatcher, Phillips, Montgomerie, D'Ambrosio, Walla, 2x Cat B.

Effectively we have 2 open list spots coming into the draft, and a max of 3 open primary list spots, so that pick 61 definitely can't be used at this stage.

Can we still delist Hep with a year to go on his contract?
