I know. Round two picks become the matching picks for the top academy and father son kids, which means lots of them will disappear and thus round 3 picks will become more valuable in the draft.

It'll change things a lot.

However, I think with a deep draft, it'll be possible to do a R3 to R2 pick upgrade for someone to move up, or something like that when there's a kid who someone really likes still available in the late 40s when our picks come up.
 
It’s times like this, I think of the gimp. He hated my guts, which is understandable. But gee I would have liked him to see these times.

He would have loved getting Houston.

Another flag is incoming Gimp.

Agree. None of them fill me with much excitement if we get a couple of injuries to our mids.
We have Naicos, Mitchell, JDG, Crisp, Perryman, Pendles, Sidebottom, Allan, Lipinski that we can rotate through the centre square.

Houston and Jaicos can probably be added to the rotation also
 
I've already said this but which other teams thus far have gotten better this trade period?

Still a bit to play out perhaps but... at quick glance the teams improving their list (not treading water or going backwards) is us, Adelaide, Fremantle, Gold Coast, Hawthorn... and maybe to Geelong and WCE? Only two of those sides finished above us this year.

Adelaide - yes, adding Peatling, Cumming, ANB

Brisbane - no. Losing Daniher, Sharp, maybe Robertson.

Carlton - No, although adding Haynes they're losing Owies who's their third best forward

Essendon - no, likely losing Stringer and not doing much else.

Fremantle - yes, adding Bolton

Geelong - probably. Adding Smith but losing Tuohy and Hawkins. Assuming Oliver isn't happening...

Gold Coast - probably. Adding Rioli and Noble but losing Lukosius.

GWS - no, gaining Stringer but lost/losing Perryman, Cumming and Peatling

Hawthorn - yes, adding Battle and Barrass

Melbourne - no, adding Sharp... but losing ANB

North Melbourne - probably only adding Parker

Port - no, losing Houston but adding Lukosius, Richards & Atkins

Richmond - lol

Sydney - no real movement other than losing Parker?

St Kilda - probably breaking even by adding Macrae but losing Battle.

WCE - yes by adding Baker, Graham, Owies but at the same time losing 2 best 22 players in Barrass and Darling. Low base though.

Bulldogs - no. Losing Smith, Macrae and maybe Daniel but not really replacing them with much.
lots of detail there, which is great.

but, in summary, what you are saying is, Pies winning GF in 2025?

Brisbane is adding another Ashcroft though. Can play
 
Jen2310 with the players currently out of contract, and the current draft hand, how are we looking from list spots point of view?
currently we have 1 senior spot available before list changes.
Because
Perryman = Murphy
Houston = Noble
Richards = 1 vacant.

We were over the rookie list spots during the season, but then with Begg delisted, we are at capacity with 6.

We have 2 senior listed players OOC

Like the new avatar Jen. Can’t wait for trading to be replaced by training.
Less than 3 weeks away now.

Cheers. I aimed for something different, so found something with a J on it.

So we don't actually have the list spots for Tomlinson, Hayes or Membrey? As we need to have a selection in National draft?
 
I know you prefer we be involved in the draft but I seriously can’t stress enough to you that with McGuane in next year and a bunch of gun RFAs becoming available this was 1000% the right move

There is a very very strong chance Hine would have wasted an early pick
Hine is up there with the very best in the business, trading in isn’t a guaranteed outcome either by the way.

I get the fascination with Houston, bringing A grade talent (particularly when it suits your game style) should always be a priority. I do feel that again we undervalued out assets and lost this trade on face value, which of course can always be vindicated with a premiership. I agree we are better placed now to win it again, than what we were at the start of the trade period.

If we don’t win the premiership, then I think the trade will be looked at very differently! I’m neutral at this stage.

We will overwhelm sides with our relentless running and continuous ball movement.

A black and white tsunami is coming.

Lost the trade?

Would have to think the potential additions of membrey, hayes, tomlinson, potentially keeping dean , will push us towards trading away most of the draft picks, or at the very least bundle all of them for a single mid second round pick.
 
Because we gave up too much. A half back flanker is not worth that much. Especially when our spine is so poor.

You need to balance your objectives. We have one of the worst groups of young players in the league. We missed finals this year and are relying on having a dream run with injury to be competitive again
The problem is we don't have a straight forward way to rectify the youth issue short term. I really want the team to stock up on draft picks, believe me, we need to. But I think you are underestimating how good Houston is, but more importantly how he directly impacts us specifically due to our game style. Our offense has been predicated on scoring from defensive rebound under McRae, and it fell off a fair bit this season. Dan Houston is probably the most damaging rebound 50 player in the entire league. And so while he isn't a spine player, either a KPP, or inside mid type that we need, what he's elite at is actually a fundamental requirement for driving how our system has been built to operate for 3 years.

Also people saying we gave up pick 13 AND Noble, are over stating what we gave up. We didn't have pick 13 AND Noble, we had Noble, or pick 13 since they were traded for each other.

I disliked the Schultz trade last year, because there was nothing about his skillset critical to our playstyle, and he also was never an elite level player. And I wanted us to stop wasting draft picks we needed to rebuild the team. But Houston is a completely different caliber of player, he's not the exact same player skillset wise, but he can have a Jimmy Clement level of impact on the team out of defense IMO. We still have a lot of work to do to rebuild this team for the next 5-10 years (A LOT hinges on how good a player Tom McGuane ends up developing into I think, as the better he is, the more he mitigates losing the future first), but I can't fault them simply because of how good Houston is, in fact I think if Houston played for a Vic side, he'd have cost even more as more people would be more cognizant of how good he is. We need him off half back, but I think he's someone who could transition into midfield if given the opportunity similarly to a guy like Jordan Dawson who played mostly HB the first half of his career.

how so? By afl rules, you need to take 3 players in the draft or rookie upgrades.
 
Moore, Maynard, Houston, Howe, Quaynor, Crisp, Perryman, Pendlebury and the Daicos bros is a best-in-league set of players to rotate through defensive posts in 2025.
