Oliver has six years at 1-1.1million per year, if they take that on the draft capital shouldn't be too high, real salary dump areas and they back themselves to clean up his act.

Firstly, two 1st rounders is lazy list management chat, there’s generally a pick coming back, in this case say a 2nd this year.
That would allow us with the possible trading of Owies, Kennedy, Carrol and Young, to have 4 2nd round draft picks, which should be able to get us a pick in the teens and early 20s.
Secondly what would you rather? Fixing an area of need with a young known quantity that would ensure TDK stayed in Blue for life.
Or.
The chance of fixing two areas of need with unknown quantities where, we might address two areas, one or zero if we get it wrong?

Totally agree as his comments during the finals were utter bovine excreta and smacked of him just trying to be "the human headline"........with apologies to Sam McClure for borrowing his title. I think it was him as well that predicted King becoming the new Eagles coach, but maybe I am wrong there as there were just so many opinions floating around during the finals.....
There was mention today that Motlop had been mentioned in some discussions, or potential trade/interest with PTA.

No excuses now
Won’t stop it happening.
Really? We talking Facebook/Reddit or somewhere with a hint of credibility?
If it’s at all credible, u really should be referring to him as, “future gun small forward with unquestionable pedigree & lineage, who was unfortunately cruelled with injury this season” Jesse (we would need a 1st round pick) Motlop
Interesting if true

I’m confused by the Rumour thread, the list management thread and now a trade thread tbh. They are actually all related and the list management and trade threads pretty well the same. Well to me they are

He's a 23 yo KPD that has proven himself to be amongst the best up & coming KPP in the comp.
You get him, manage to keep him fit & you've got a key pillar locked down for around a decade.
I doubt he's looking to leave but you'd be looking at a first + to secure someone like him just as we'd be looking to secure something significant if his brother were to depart.
Yeah, sounds about right for a player managers mind set & if he thinks his number is $1m or more that’s a lot of cash to leave on the table for your long term contract, nice hustle getting the extra info
So, just asking for a friend - if we don’t end up getting SDK - do we still get the cheesecake???
Love Weiters but I agree he needs a smarter KPD partner - he wins 1:1 contests but regularly he loses contests because he is not in them
This could be resolved by getting a SDK
but let’s be honest it starts in the middle and nowadays if your forward line doesn’t function - your defense pays. Our defense is okay, we need a fit/healthy midfield and a functioning forward line
We need TDK to be fit, he’s a viable ruck but becomes an excellent 2nd Ruck Rover when the ball hits the ground and limits damage when the opposition gets the ball - that slows down entry - Weiters needs that
We need Cerra to be fit - he is quality with runs under his belt but we also need to figure out the midfield mix, we need speed - get Walsh fit and or Carroll/Lord adding to the mix - I like Kennedy but he makes us too slow inside. What role does Doch play?
We need a defensive half forward - losing Fogarty and Cottrell was disastrous - Fantasia was just stupid, not playing Cincotta instead - foolish
Small Forwards is the focus for mine - if Motlop and Durdin aren’t fit - play Moir or play a 1st round recruit
I like Owies, he kicks goals, if we had have had a fit defensive forward back end of season he wouldn’t look as poor defensively
In Summary
1) Inness could be our most important recruit - we need a fit midfield and more games into Lord/Carroll and a fit/healthy defensive forward and small forwards
2) we need a better defensive zone to stop teams from uncontested marks - Plan B
3) we need a better system to move the ball out of our D50
Draft Recruits - 2024 First Round Pick on a Small Forward
Then flankers and/or Midfield (Ben and Lucas)
Recruits - don’t mind bargains like Hayne and Membrey for depth, but SDK and Houston - don’t sell the farm for them
Wickzki
Definitely Sam MacLure.

Not keen on SDK at the asking price, and for the love of all that is good in the world: get Hotton if he's near the same valuation as Berry, please.
Hopefully pick 12 from GC or one of Richmond’s first rounders…I wonder what our F1 and Kennedy will bet us

We are pushing very hard for this. Don't be surprised if we package up Pick 11 & F1 for other picks inside Top 20 and then some later picks. I'm expecting a number of scenarios where we move picks around
Is this to target particular young players in the draft this year or something else brewing?
