I'd be for Zac Clarke as rookie listed insurance.
Lycett and Ryder will probs tandem. Ken killed tandem cause Lobbe sucked. Me thinks he'll bring it back.
Zac can then tandem with Hayes/Frampton, while both developing their forward craft.
There is a pretty high chance one of these 5 big men will be injured at some point. Or Billy will play as a stand alone forward, and replace Dixon if he gets injured...

Carlton and Gold Coast seem to have got access to two state league players each rather than a priority pick. Seems fairish.

And yet top ten.
I was impressed by Luke Foley in the WAFL Colts grandfinal. He’s a tall midfield/wingman with pretty good skills and clearly an outstanding runner. What I really like was that he took a few strong contested marks. It’s such a weapon having players who can do that between the 50m arcs.
Yep, would be happy to take him with a pick in the 20's

What a ridiculous rule. How will this help them at all?
What they should do away with is compensation for free agency. Make Gold Coast, etc, force trades so they still get a good pick and maybe an experienced AFL player whilst the club getting the free agent gets their player but suffers a tad too.

That is far too sensible for the AFL.
Make Richmond pay through the nose for Tom Lynch. Gold Coast have every right to demand more than a compo pick and for once I'd love a big Victorian club have to squirm and find adequate compensation themselves, instead of having the AFL provide it for them.
If this rule was in place prior to the last draft then Tim Kelly (pick 24) Liam Ryan (pick 26) and Bailey Fritsch (pick 31) were available. It has the potential to immediately improve them rather than wait on the development of a young kid. I can see what the AFL is trying to do but I wouldn't have let them trade that player for a pick as that defeats the purpose.
Nah I like it. Won't be a huge boon for them - neither should it be. It's just a decent step in the right direction. PPs obviously don't help, but getting in some mature agers who are desperate for a crack at AFL level could make a decent impact in supporting the young high draft picks at the club without having any real effect on the draft integrity.

By the sound of what Wallace was saying Carlton can pick up a player from a state league and trade them this year. Much better idea than just giving them straight up picks. The other clubs can still get their hands on them if they’re willing to give up a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

Anyone got any news/thoughts on Atley’s younger bro? He is up for this year right?
How have people seen Sam Sturt’s recent rise?

Let’s assume this happened and we had pick 5. Would we be doing this hoping rankine or rozee are there?
I’m saying that if we had this
1 - Walsh - Carlton
2/3 - Luko and Rankine or rozee - Suns
4 - saints will take rankine but maybe not rozee (depending on what suns do) .. maybe bailey smith
5 - rankine rozeee if one is there. If not, who will we take ?? Prob smith if he falls to 5

Saints massive fans of Max King
That is very loose on info. Just mentions port to get pick 4 (5 after lynch) and freo get 2 picks in the top 10.
If they are referring to port giving up 2 top ten picks Its a poor trade for us.
Ie
Port 4 (5)
Bris Neale
Freo 9+10
That is horrible for us
But if lions include pick 22 in the deal which is rumoured to be included in Neale deal
Port 4 , 22
Bris Neale
Freo 9, 10
That I like. I would be keen for that.
We then have picks 4 21 22 27 and the 2 3rd rounders depending on if we get more picks for Polec than 10 or picks from elsewhere.
i was going to post this....
What interests me is, "Ports two seconds likely to come in to play" I wonder what exactly we will likely be getting for those picks Freo's 5 perhaps ? Thats then 9,10,21,27 for 4 and 5.
Leaves Freo trading Neale and 5 for 9,10,21 and 27 and presumably 9 and 21 for Hogan. Which would be Neale and 5 for Hogan, 10 and 27.

I’m not massive on that idea unless we’re getting another pick in the 20s back as well... prefer the thought of two top ten picks to one top 5. Although, if we did this and the player we’re after (presumably Rankine) is gone, we could potentially live trade pick 4? Is that how it works?

If we can get 4 and 5 that would be pants down running around the table moment.
yep same here we would need a second coming from somewhere then maybe you'd do it

If we managed to get pick 4 or 5 and got lukoscious then I would do that trade straight up. But no guarantees.
At picks 9-12, depending on where they end up, we are unlikely to get one of the top 8 players but could still get two very handy players who could impact next year and for a long time. Our second round picks could snag us a gem - Williams, Butters, Sturt, or a very reliable player like a Valente.
We have a good hand and might be able to improve it a bit here and there but I’m not sure I would sell the farm for some magic beans.
