.. what is his ceiling ?

Look at his brother.
Literally trade material 2 years ago and now one of their most important and on the rise as one of the best ruckman in the league.

Sam has plenty of upside. More so than just about other player on our list.

If we could trade up for pick 15 is there is a chance Sam Lalor could slide to there?

Zero chance

It seems that way to me … and then go with COS and add a backman. SDK is moving into his mid 20’s ..so he is no longer young. With a full preseason training the role .. what is his ceiling ?

I like it.

They must have liked enough of what they saw of SDK in the ruck to say this is absolutely worth exploring. Hopefully Conway to play 10 - 15 games next year. He's definitely shown he is capable at the level. SDK as second ruck, moving from defence or even forward feels like a really nice pairing. When only one of them plays we have Blics and Neale to provide the 2nd ruck role.

I wouldn't want to take dodson with an earlyish pick as we have Conway, SDK & Edwards as our projects already. Totally OK to take a Blakiston or Knobel super late or in the rookie draft. Knobel we could get as a delisted free agent too. Even bringing a muture prospect into our VFL fold as a break in case of emergency at the mid season draft would be clever.

Anything can happen in draft … “but” … unless Hotton slips into the 20’s I think we struggle to get him. If I was Rich ..and they have had a truckload of picks … I wonder if they throw a pick at a kid like him .. or trade it to us ..we take him.

I imagine the cats have had conversations with clubs like Richmond, GWS and co about the potential of trading up. We'd have an idea of what's possible and a player in mind for each potential pick swap. I.e. Hotton at 15 or 21, 23 or 24. But similarily, it's highly likely given what mackie said about clubs wanting FR2 & FR3's, that there is a player we might want to move up into the late 20's / 30's that might be more of a bolter. I find it hard to imagine we can get anyone to move out before pick 23 or 24 with Richmond.

Also just back the team to only trade up with a specific target in mind. Worked with Holmes and absolutely happy for them to pay a bit to get the player they want.

I think your finger slipped and accidently added a 5 here.
