And by top 30 we mean late 2nd round early 3rd. We can take it or leave it.Yes that is possible but I am not surprised we are trying to load up on picks next year as it is supposed to a really good draft and we have 2 academy kids likely to go inside the top 30.
And by top 30 we mean late 2nd round early 3rd. We can take it or leave it.
No mate. Neither off them are predicted to go first round. That can change but at this point they're not knocking down doorsWell one of them (Cabor and Clearly) is at the moment projected to go in the first round, though for the life of me I can't remember which.
If i thought that was likely i'd push fot that. If Melbourne offered theirs and Freos future firsts I'd do it in a flash. Hawks aren't the only party in town, we'd tell you to stick it where the sun doesn't shine and find something better or simply holdIf the players aren’t there why would you trade back instead of trade into 2023? You are at a disadvantage unless you are approached for the picks. As hawks I would give you our 2 f2 picks for 14 and 17 and you would likely take it.
We like the dark I’m in the UK! Dees and blues are the only likely takersIf i thought that was likely i'd push fot that. If Melbourne offered theirs and Freos future firsts I'd do it in a flash.

If the right player is there at 14 or 17 then i reckon dons might be happy to swap over a F2 and 22 for one of them. Gives swans an early F2 which might be the best they can achieve
I'm in Germany - touche! 5 degrees here and about to rain, sunset around 4:30pm this afternoon and might slip into negatives tonight.We like the dark I’m in the UK! Dees and blues are the only likely takers
I doubt we offer that. GWS are the club most likely to bid on Davey ahead of our pick so we probably sit tight honestly and keep our F2.If Rowston is bid on before pick 18( as seen on the Foxfooty phantom draft), would it make sense to offer GWS both our F2's for 18 & 19 and then after bid match trade 24 for their F2/F3
IN : 18,19, F2 or F3(GWS)
OUT: 24, F2(Hawks), F2(WB)
GWS will lose their pick 31 & 57 in the bid match. I am sure Essendon are offering the same with their 22+F2 but ours is better. Not sure who else can offer a better deal that that.
Abysmal deal for St KildaLots of chatter about Bombers putting pick #4 up for trade, Hawks their #6, clubs wanting to move up etc. But no-one at the pointy end of the draft really wants to drop out of the top 10, where there's most talent.
I wonder if the clubs could organise a multi-club mega-trade, similar to the Norths-GWS-Port-Eagles mega-trade during trade period? I know we like to speculate with things like this on BF, and it rarely happens, but I do wonder if the ice might have been broken to do such a trade?
This is not exact, but ballpark something like:
Melbourne: give #13 (to St Kilda), Freo F1R (to Essendon), ML F1R (to Hawthorn); receive #4 (from Essendon), #41 (from Hawthorn)
Essendon: give #4 (to Melbourne), #22 (to St Kilda); receive #6 (from Hawthorn), Freo F1R (from Melbourne)
Hawthorn: give #6 (to Essendon), #41 (to Melbourne); receive #9 (from St Kilda), ML F1R (from Melbourne)
St Kilda: give #9 (to hawthorn); receive #13 (from Melbourne), #22 (from Essendon)
In short:
There would be something for everyone there as long as one club doesn't want to "win" the trade hands down and demand too much for the sacrifice they're making. (Given everyone's just sliding backwards, the sacrifice for each club is limited, especially where they likely get exactly who they like or at least someone they like enough.) Dodo is probably the most likely impediment, and perhaps needing to match a bid for Davey the #41 needs to go to Essendon rather than Melbourne.
- Melbourne are paying the largest price for the biggest move, essentially 3 teens picks to move to #4, with a minor pick back - gets Humphrey
- Essendon only moves back 2 spots plus trades #22 for Freo's future first rounder (greatest chance of being earlier), so best chance of good upside next year - & it probably still gets them Phillipou
- Hawthorn move back 3 places, if they are happy enough with one of Clark, Mackenzie or Tsatas they'll still get one of them, while getting an extra future first in the teens, have to gibe up a third rounder to grease the wheels a little
- St Kilda probably make the biggest sacrifice in moving out of the top 10, but get an extra & early second round pick (giving them 4 picks inside the first 32 before academy/father-son selections - if they're happy with Elijah Hewett then he may be available at the later pick and therefore get who they want while getting an extra early second rounder
It's a big price for Melbourne to pay, 3 first rounders, but they're already offering that so if they want to move up that far they do need to accept a hefty price.
Why?Abysmal deal for St Kilda
St Kilda would slide back more than anyone in that deal, slide out of the top echelon of players, and only receive a 2nd round pick.Why?
Similar to the Port - West Coast trade back last year; a second round pick being the recompense.St Kilda would slide back more than anyone in that deal, slide out of the top echelon of players, and only receive a 2nd round pick.
The List Boss would be sacked on the spot
Wil do except melb need to give their 37 . Would ideally need Freo's F1 but can swallow that if we get 37, Hawks will give late 50's pick which should go to Bombers for points for Davey and Essendon give their pick in 60's for Hawks to use for Vickery pick matchLots of chatter about Bombers putting pick #4 up for trade, Hawks their #6, clubs wanting to move up etc. But no-one at the pointy end of the draft really wants to drop out of the top 10, where there's most talent.

BumpWhy would they just go for local targets?
It seems that alot of people just think West Coast = West Australian draftees.
People doing Phantom drafts who are not from WA do this consistently for some reason. When in reality the Eagles rarely draft all WA kids.
Best available at our picks. The Poo was tempting but not unhappy so far.Bump
If it wasn't obvious before it is now that WC clearly had intention of targeting locals when trading pick 2Best available at our picks. The Poo was tempting but not unhappy so far.
With 2 picks remaining.
Two of Barnett, Hotton, Clarke, Szybkowski or Burgeil I'd be rapt.
