I’d like us to convert Houston and Soldo into Lukosius and two top 20 draft picks in this year’s draft without giving up next year’s future first rounder. Alternatively Lukosius, a top 10 pick and a pick between 30-40.
If you break it down, I really think that’s fair.
Houston should be worth a pick between 7 and 12, and a second pick between 15-20. Turn the latter into Lukosius.
Soldo should be worth pick 30-40.
Go into this year’s draft and turn pick 7-12 into the best available midfielder and pick 30-40 into the best available dynamic small-mid forward.
Use existing pick 36 for a KPP (forward or back).
Use our third round pick for Richards if possible.
Use one of the remaining picks for Barrett.
Take the F-Ss in the rookie draft.
If possible turn Clurey into a third developing ruckman.
Delist F. Evans, Narkle, Kyle Marshall, Charleson.
Outs:
Houston
Soldo
Dixon
McKenzie
McCallum
F. Evans
Narkle
Charleson
K. Marshall
Clurey
Ins:
Lukosius
Richards
Pick 7-12 (midfielder)
Pick 30-40 (small-mid forward)
Pick 36 (KPP)
Barrett
Burgoyne
Montgomery
Developing/backup ruckman
Francou
***
The only reason for singling out Evans and Narkle for delisting is that McEntee is contracted, which is ridiculous.
The alternative is to keep one of them if Boak retires.
I realise the above changes leave us with little mature depth, but we’ve missed out on Perryman and Cumming which doesn’t help there, and I’d rather us recycle young players to find those that can actually make it rather than persist with list cloggers with low ceilings.
