The only candidates are those with multiple picks like dees or Gold Coast because they are stupid and also have a likely top 5 academy bid to match. I floated the idea of exchanging their first and 4 of their late f3/4 picks for our 2 f2s our f3 and another f2 we get from the dees by giving them 24 this year. chopflop I tagged you in that post so you can see what I floated. Would weaken our hand this year but give us 2 top 10 talents plus McCabe next year. We should not be taking many picks next year as we need to minimise list changes and stabilise for a few years so this approach seems to fit.
Lions have Cats F2 and can't trade any of those as they have traded out their F1
None of those are candidates except dees as I believe they have 2xf1 and 2xf2 theirs and freos that’s how it appears on Lores 2023 draft order. To me it’s simple we should be holding or reducing our hand (although now keeping pick 6) this year and getting suns f1 by using our pick 24 and 2xf2. If we can find a way to hold a second then fine but that f1 from suns so we take 2x top 10 next year and McCabe is where I’m leaning.
Sorry I don't have notifications on. I don't mind weakening this year tbh but I don't think a team like GCS would bite on anything with their future 1.
No one is pick trading out of the first two rounds next year for this year. I'll be pissed if we make that trade.
which is basically 6 for 9 + F2.. Bad deal in my eyes & Saints will jump if you offer that. Bombers want 9+f1 to give up their pick 4.
what do you mean 1st 2 rounds.. those are 2 2nd rounds. Our F2 picks next yr are likely to be in same position as 19 and 31.
You could do the saints first for our or wb second, just dont think they'll give it up or they could add there 2nd this year as well as their second next year
I agree with you that it's unlikely the Saints would give up their future 1st for a 3 place upgrade, no matter the spare change included in the trade. However i do think that they would be tempted by the second one suggested.
Yeah in my mock first round I think all the top players are gone by Carlton’s pick
There’s multiple drafts where mid teens picks well outperform those picked in top 7/10. Now obviously you need to pick well and understand the draft year very well - and on average earlier picks give better players - but if we back our recruiting and think there’s as good guys available in the teens as we have in pick 6/7 then of course you prefer two elite players. It would be bold (and risky) but wouldn’t dismiss out of hand.
You can trade out any amount of picks in a year so long as they're not futures.
GWS has 15,18 & 19. Sydney has 14,17. It all depends whether you want to build your tall stocks first or midfielders. If tall, then around those picks could pick up Busslinger, Jefferson.
