I agree... If we do have 3 live picks I'd think that 38 would be used though.

Anyway... yes, happy for Sav to go If it helps us get our targets... Even if it is only slightly helping.

Will absolutely have just about zero key position depth though... Would assume we'd pick up a cheap KPP to have as a backup if we get desperate.

Agree with all that.
Fyi 3 live picks is only if sav is traded and simpson delist and re rookie as of today we can use 1 pick only.
If sav goes we have to get the best mature kpd we can in the rookie draft.
 
I love all the theories about dodgy Geelong deals, yeah that must be it.....or could it be the fact; we don't drug our players with unknown substances, we don't sack the coach each year, we don't torture them on camps, we don't tell them to get abortions, the coach doesn't get drunk and gamble with players, we haven't needed to make settlement agreements for coaches accused of harassment....there's plenty more...
 
Any clue on what we are potentially trading out?

The obvious is our #18.
The dream is we get it done somehow whilst still holding onto #18 and our F1... (+ the #7 that we will end up getting).

I want it all... Queen Style.

#18 i reckon with maybe a 3rd round pick swap (minor). Fair.
 
Esava Ratugolea is a rare breed. 198cm, 108kg of mostly muscle and moves like a big cat. And he's popular at the club. I would be keeping him and giving him every opportunity to develop. Big men like Sav take more time to develop and he missed a lot of football after he broke his ankle/leg. He is only 24 years old. I remember Tomahawk at that age was frustrating as well. I hope he stays.
I do too. It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Esava's and will be shattered to see him in other colours.
But if he's decided it's in his own best interests to seek a trade, it's understandable as he seems to have dropped out of the selection frame. The club will make it happen.
Whichever way, I hope we get to see him playing at the highest level consistently, as he is a delight to watch.

My brain thinks like this.

When all trading is done.

If we had these picks (complete example and random picks).

7, 38, 40 - I wouldn't mind using at least 38 (It's a decent pick) and that would mean Simpson can be rookied.

7, 69,70 - Not overly keen on these picks and I wouldn't care as much.

Really depends on what's left over after all the trading.

Time will tell.. But I'd live with Simpson being rookied (and think it's likely... sounds like Sav will go as well).

He’s only really dropped out of favour this year though after injury. Prior to that he’s been given plenty of opportunity, some might argue too much at times. Would be good to see him just knuckle down and fight out of it rather than immediately cash his chips and run. Anyway, if he wants to go let him go; I don’t think he’ll ever become a great player, I think the best you’ll ever get out of Sav on the whole will be good/serviceable.

I look forward to when this trade period is over and done with in one week. This circus drags on ....
Yep. The same amount of trades would get done in 3-5 days IMO. 9-days just gives time for BS and politics to take over with every club knowing they have time up their sleeve.

But it's all about exposure and interest this generates for Gill and the AFL I suppose.
