So why did it take so long for the deal to go through? We got pick 31 days ago. Brisbane wanting to announce everything at once in the hope it hurt less (a.k.a the bandaid theory?)

I take it you didn't end up happy with how things have panned out Bond?
I'm happy we got Yeo and the 3 pick upgrade we gave up for him is interesting, maybe so they pass on Sheed? This doesn't seem right to me so I'd be interested in your thoughts.
Also who do you think we will hope to grab with pick 31 and what about the Everitt interest?
Why do you rate Bootsma a swap for pick 11?
May take 3 years to develop physically but looks ok.
Thoughts Spartan please.
While I dont hate what we have done this draft period, fair to say I am worried about the people who are managing this stuff for us. I hope those at the club are keeping an eye on it, although I'm pretty sure Vozzo got promoted recently so I hope somebody knows what they are doing.
According to Gary Stocks, we wanted picks in the 1st 3 rounds of the draft. If we had given 28 for Yeo early on, we would have had 6 + yeo + 44.
Trading 6 for 11 + 31 means we could still have picks in the first 3 rounds + Yeo. Plus they only consider 11 a 4 spot downgrade and not 5 spots since North Melbourne have locked in number 8 for their father/son. So they must feel that Sheed or whoever they want would still be there at 11.
They may even have a gentlemans agreement with Collingwood and Brisbane to not pick Sheed before we do....

You've nailed it I reckon.

3 live picks means two delistings.
Re-rookie Newman and delist Morton/someone?
Is there really much chance of getting someone decent at 49?

Some great stuff in his highlights - love the pace out of the back line and a pretty good mark in contests.
And he is a great age for us to see his best footy for the club

From WA alone, Garlett, Hampson, Jansen? Jacob Green?
People have been mentioning Impey but he's a 30's type pick IMO.

The last one was a joke, I wouldn't give up 31 for Bootsma.
Although I would have taken the punt for a straight swap with someone like Smith.
matters not we got a good one..
IMO he might last until 31 but will be gone by 49. I'd take him at 31 - would be an awesome add to our midfieldTerry Wallace seems to think that Garlett will go top 20/25 so that makes me sad face

To be fair what Wallace says about the draft is likely to be opinion and he doesn't have a great track record for opinions.

Not so sure about that given that some rumours have persisted. Still have doubts about him playing midfield at AFL level as well from what I have seen at the Swans this year.
I think he will go in the thirties or even a bit later
Highlights can be misleading, but he's got all the makings for sure.
Looks like he does 3-4 very good things a game, which is great.
Backs himself to run and carry as well as take the intercept mark, has a great kicked - is he a left or right footer?
I'd certainly trust the ball in his hands coming off half back.

Now how many of our current players can you say that about?

Glad its finally done, looks a player. Could argue we overpaid but whats done is done.
So I take it we'll be using 3 picks in the ND then, which means another 2 delisted?
