I still hold out hope of trading with Essendon for either or both of picks 28 and 31.

As much as that would be nice i don't see us doing it as we would need to do the trade before ESS bid and match

 

[Two Planks]

Don't they need them for Kako points...

Not unless the bid comes in top 5. Gettable today said they are likely to trade one or both early on draft night.

It sounded like once he gets thru to a certain point they would contemplate trading…

The only way we get Reid is with 3+ first rounders unless we trade an A grade talent which we have very few if any of that would even entertain going to WCE.

Now in 2-3 years time that may be different as player like Humphries or Edwards could become A grade but if they did why would we push them out?

That's what I'm saying, I agree.

Just noting the idea that people seem to think Edwards will play a part, or that we should draft and develop WA kids in preparation for the "inevitable" Reid trade.

It's a pointless idea. We'd need these kids to not just show talent, but look like genuine future stars for it to make any difference in a trade for someone like Reid...and even if that did happen, we'd want to hang onto them in that case (like Humphries).

You either get a kid like Edwards who's got talent, but won't move the needle on a trade, or someone like Humphries who will help get a trade done, but you won't want to do it.

Even if we are Reids' destination, we're better off working something out with picks than making plans years in advance and prioritising WA talent.

The payoff just isn't worth it. Pick the best kids, and we'll work something out if the trade eventuated.

If you could tell me that it would guarantee us getting Gerreyn and Clarke, I'm all in.

Two of that level of talent (Probably could name 15 that would fit that for someone or other) …then have our academy kid become a R1 pick ….and then its all bath bubbles and giggles...

I think thats the key …. for any player to be worth something in a trade ..you probably will not want to lose him. So for Edwards to suddenly become a key plank in a trade ..he comes in …duplicates or betters Neales potential … and then WCoast come and say …Edwards and Hump ..and 2 R1 picks …. at which point our eyes bleed and try to get them to take 3 R1 picks and a R3.

Probably not worth being tp focused on it till he says he wants us..

Is Dattoli someone we'd look at if he slid? He looks like a high impact, punish the opposition type... Small forwards are not a high priority though for us... Although I think he can play mid.

 

[D BRIDGE]

I like the look of Jobe Shanahan.

Not sure if we would be able to get a back into the draft early enough to snag him… could be borderline a chance if he is someone we are keen on.

Shanahan + Neale young key forwards.

SDK + COS young key backs.

Conway + Edwards young rucks.

We’d all of a sudden look reasonably set for key position players all over the ground if we could get Shanahan.

I doubt too many would complain at the outcome..

He's not really like Jezza, but more a traditional forward I reckon. I like his aerial capability tbh. Looks a bit classy. You wouldn't hesitate at around Pick 20 that's for sure.
