Loving the bitching on Twitter after that trade went down - peeps not happy

Nice business to get #27.

Any chance Oliver Henry is still available or is he certain to be gone before then?

No chance, but we do have the ability to trade up now, which could be what we're looking to do with some of these futures.

Have thought all along we're gonna try and get Olly, as the Falcons coach raves about him and he's likely to end up back here anyway. Think Essendon's Future 2nd gets packaged up on the night with this Pick 27, and we move into the first round if he's still available at Pick 13-18ish

Which pisses me off because GC wont even use it, its called a trade relationship, people just dont like to see a well run organization continue to be well run

 

[Two Planks]

Now we can package 27 with a future 2nd rounder from Essendon to get into the late 1st round and hopefully get Henry or Bruhn.

from who ..?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I'm not sure i see p27 this year versus p55ish next year as that clear an upgrade. They're both going sit around the same point in terms of clarity in draft potential and taking a draftee a year earlier for us isn't going to help us develop the kid much when they aren't likely to get seniors matches anyway. It's pretty much a wash. Helps them a much as us

Don't think anyone is taking that deal.

Trade pick 20 this year for 2 seconds next year then trade pick ~40 next year for pick 27 this year, chefs kiss.
Wellsy really is a maestro

Nah he will go possibly as early as essendon and if they dont take him he will go in 10-20 imo..we would need to trade up further to get him or bruhn. That said i think there will be some good value at 27 so i like the trade.

Let me guess. Hawf nuffies, tuggers or west cokers.

I haven't figured that bit out yet, but it does open up our options a little bit.

 

[gaz love x]

The biggest opportunities will be with clubs matching bids but I doubt any pick in the top 20 comes into play here. More like offloading one in the 20s for 51 + future second (tied to Geelong) or 30s for 51+future third (tied to Melbourne). Our future first will have to come into play to get into the teens and I don't think we'll pay that. I reckon our strategy will be around preparing to go hard for someone falling into the 20s who we like but otherwise only making small moves (if at all).

27 ends up in the 30s I guess so I wasn't far off but clearly a slightly better deal than I'd imagined. We haven't given up on this draft at all, getting this done ahead of draft night signals wanting to move up further imo

[Shadow89]

So our trade period now becomes:

OUT: 13, 15, 20, Future 4th (Pick 70ish), Cocky, Fogarty

IN: J Cameron, S Higgins, I. Smith, Pick 27, Future 2nd (Essendon) - Pick 22-26ish, Future 2nd (GWS) - Pick 24-28ish

3 mid 20's picks, 2 ready to go gun players and 1 superstar key forward

for

3 mid-late firsts, 2 fringe players and 1 Future 4th

Surely no-one can complain now?

Such Wells. Much trading. Wow.

GC were always going to want to trade this pick before draft..as they didnt want to use it

Collingwood fans...

 

[calder_daddy]

Love it. So if we’re looking at it properly it’s more like pick 35
Should be a good player to select around then.
I likey

 

[longtimecat]

Collingwood fans...

I see two options here, either we bundle picks to move up the order to get one of the local boys, or Wells has his eye on someone like Poulter the 192cm midfielder.

 

[year of the cat]

Wells is Simon the Likeable with his dealings with GC

 

[chris9753]

I tend to think the most reasonable upgrade for us may be a pick in the 20's... Gold Coast for sure will want to trade 27...

You must be psychic Turbocat!
