Rumour Bluemour Discussion XXXVI - 'Loopy' Season in full swing

[pressurepoint]

How high could 12 & 14 get us if we traded up? 5 - 7?

We have no more capital to spend… we would have to sell both 12&14 to get one higher pick.

Demons could put themselves back in the hunt for Houston, or North could deal with the Demons and have another crack at Houston

Interesting times

Houston doesn’t want to go to the Dee’s.

Doubt they’ll go for Houston. They’ll get 2 high quality mids at 5 and 9. Reckon they’ll plan for Trac and Oliver’s uncertainty, and Viney finishing up in the next couple of years

 

[Red_man2008]

Like the idea of us being the only team with two close first round picks in the draft. So hopefully everyone else gets rid of one of theirs to help with player acquisition.

 

[Benaly28]

I doubt we'd shop him or that we'd get anything useful in exchange, but I would love for us to do this and find a back up ruck as a DFA.

General consensus you need 4 rucks on your list.

As it sits we have TDK/Pitto/HOK and Jsos as pinch hit.

Yeah same as if we got 3. Would we take 4 or 5 or 6?

I guess it depends on the player available at that pick.

It it were me I would be sending 14 to Sydney for 19+22 and either:

• sending two of these for Houston, or
• taking three picks to draft night.

I assume based on EP's post we are now most likely to just stick with 12 and 14 at the draft. Will need to look into the players a bit more but I think a small forward and an outside pacey mid with some good skills would be optimal. Trainor concussion concerns have me staying away and not sure there are any other KPDs in that range.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Smart move by Hawks, obtaining an extra 2nd round pick overall in our draft swap deal allows them to keep their original pick, but helps them in the deal to secure Barrass which should be looking like a first and second rounder..

Thanks for answering my question about trading up with an answer of trading down

If this dees/dons trade goes through, that makes the dees and saints with 2x top 10 picks.

They’ll be trading up, not us

Damian Barrett on footy furnace reckons Houston still gets to Carlton, Tom Morris said the Pies are a long way off from getting a deal done ….

Can’t wait for this to be over

Not sure how Barrett thinks this can get done unless Port suddenly accept 12 or 14 alone

Id happily take Brayden Crossley

Preuss also

I think if Pies can’t get it done and we offer one of our picks and say to port take it or leave it

It is going to be a long 3 days.

 

[DEliades]

12 and F2 for Houston.

Take 14 to the draft.

Get it done

Needs Houston to get off the fence and put the onus on Port to get it done

 

[carlton_99]

12 and F2 for Houston.

Take 14 to the draft.

Get it done

We can't trade our F2 unless we bring in another one.

Can we use a F2 since we have traded our F1?

 

[NavySteel]

Need an F2 for kennedy/owies

We wait.

Port will call us when they reach/fail to reach an agreement with Collingwood and give us the opportunity to match because we are his preferred destination.

Then we offer one of our firsts plus some favourable swaps.

Bookmark this and find it when he’s wearing the polo.

 

[Inspector Closseau]

Judging by the posts here, there is the Top 5 in the draft, then a Top 25.

We currently have a chance at one in the Top 5 or two in the 25.

If the difference in the 25 is marginal, perhaps we go for 3 in the Top 25.

Whatever the Club decides is fine with me but I would seriously look at Smilie because he is big-bodied and the trend seems to be favouring that (& perhaps why LOB and Dow didn't work out?).

Also, they were both Geelong Grammar/College boys and it also appears that SOS liked to recruit in pairs eg. Finbar/his son.

Smilie, it appears will go beyond 5 so maybe we go for 3 in the Top 25?

So the question is, who do we want outside the Top 5 and does the possibility of 3 of them outweigh the one undoubted gun.

If it's 2 out of the Top 25, I go the Top 5.

If it's 3, I go the 3.
