Pick 56 is our current third rounder, so you wouldn't think so.

Has this request been said by anyone of any note? Or just Facebook?

Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. But it's low enough to be true, if Collingwood is involved. Pretty sure if it didn't help our cause we would just let him walk and use him to free up a spot on our list if need be.

The same facebook page does link Gumby to Fremantle, Carlton, Bulldogs and Melbourne. Yet in the real world, sans Facebook, Essendon say they have received no offers

we got lachie neale with pick 58 last year...
I was talking more about how many picks we choose to have than what we can get there. We may have 4 picks in the ND or we may go 3 and PSD or 3 who knows. We may give up 1 of the picks we have for someone and therefore we may need 58. It depends on how things play out. IF it is of value we would probably take it otherwise we may let it slide.
 
"Linked to" doesn't mean 4 formal offers have been presented, it means that they've asked about him.

It's a rumour site. Here are a couple of their recent gems

BIG news for Melbourne fans. The dees are set to send Pick 13 to the Gold Coast suns in return for Josh Caddy.

Carlton are firming for Chris Dawes, Scott Gumbleton and Matthew Thomas.

yeah, it's a shit pick for roberton. do we have to deal with collingwood? can we still look at other options?
 
If WCE get more for Stevens than we do for Roberton, I'll spew.

I hardly ever notice Stevens when he plays for the Sharks. Roberton was fantastic this year when he played for the Royals.

They are the same age, Roberton is proven at AFL level, Stevens is not.

How is Stevens demanding a 2nd round pick and Roberton not?

Paul Bower delisted from Carlton. Could be an option in our backline should Roberton/Silvagni/Faulks get moved around?...
 
I think the difference between those picks (45 and 58) is marginal, but it still would make me feel better. If the draft has depth, we'll get a player.

the more i listen to trade week radio, the more i think the whole "superdraft" this year is a myth. Scott Lucas was saying again today that the depth falls away pretty quickly after pick 20.... i guess you could say that each year though
 
That's the question. We will probably be able to do a better deal if there is other interest. Knowing Bondy it will be some obscure deal involving 12 clubs:)
I wouldn't be surprised but the suspense is killing me.
The way folks were talking here I thought we were locked into a deal with the pies. Good. As the pirate just said maybe Carlton are making room for him.

Think I saw something that said this one was somewhere between average and pretty good? Was an article I ran across while looking up Laine Wilkins I think. Will try to dig it up.

whats your thoughts on Laine? I coached him in juniors, you could tell from back then that he was going to be a great athlete.. runs like the wind, jumps over small buildings and has great skills... unfortunately he is a flanker/wingman.... the one year we probably wont select a player of his ilk
