It’s a pleasant change to be facing trade/draft permutations from a position of strength and with a bright outlook over the coming years. Very, very nice.
Now give me more.

We have traded away some of our future for this position.
Next year will be quiet with not much draft capital.

Would be fantastic. Unfortunately, Andrew Mackie isn’t an idiot

Massive free agent class next year. Can see some big movement being made in this space next off season
Next year we can use futures two years out
We have a lot of players at of contract next year so of who could net us something depending on who gets opportunities next year. So I think we'll get additional draft capital from that.
If he is drafted, with terms, that any club meets, it is open game, he can't renege.

Next year we’ll be looking at free agents

Not many of the topliners though, moreso role players
10, 18 and 30 to the Tigers, which then becomes 10 and 14, for Bolton. Is he really worth two mid first round picks?

More importantly, does he have the Stones for AFL?

Bolton is 100% worth two mid first round picks.
You know the fwd-mid class, speed and spark that we have missed for 10 years? That's Bolton.
Genuine match winner.
Yup that would be a good outcome for us too, would ensure a tall defender and sml fwd . Our pick 14 for a midfielder, should still be a good option there for us.

I don’t see it that way. We’ve brought forward a pick with a slight additional cost into a stronger draft. Gets us a good prospect (hopefully) into the club a year earlier and allows us to build the next generation now. Then there’s FA and NGAs next year and potential draft capital from next year’s trades or picks brought forward from the year after that. I think it’s a bold strategy.

But what original poster said, it'll be a quiet draft for us in terms of trading as we won't have much. Yes, we've gone bold going all out a year earlier for the future though.
FA, any club can be busy in

Not getting too excited for next year's free agency. We have some massive re-signings that need to take place and precedence over anything else we consider (though at least one is in the bag).
If we can fill a couple of holes with an underrated player (Acres level) that will be a huge win.
Suspect that what will happen is the introduction of extended future pick trading. There's no way we will consider shipping our 2026 picks but I wouldn't be surprised at all if we traded back into the first round of the draft or traded for an experienced player with our 2027 selection.
2025-2027 is our window. Then we'll reassess based on where the likes of Cripps is at. Building the list continuously.
