I thought I had seen everything, but Fox Footy are even worse than the AFL site!
They say that we are interested in getting pick 14 from the Dogs (fair enough), but then suggest that the pick 14 might become part of the Hately trade!!?? :D

Then, they go on and compound by suggesting that we might also bring Dunstan back from St Kilda, regardless of the failure of this Brouch side deal, because we are looking to repatriate ex-SA players !!?? :D Give me strength!

I still don't understand why we weren't allowed to trade in Dunstan and get Brad Crouchs contract increased for pick 2.
We should have been, there was a loop hole to exploit so it wasnt illegal however the Victorian clubs didnt like it and the AFL marched to the beat of their drum

There is an issue with this strategy, we’ve gone too far the other way.

If you are an opposition club targeting one of our players what will you offer? A long term deal. Then when it comes to the trade, they know we won’t match so we will buckle. We’ve got a number of free agents coming up so watch this space.

Then if we continue to lose players 26 upwards to this strategy, what’s our list balance going to look like?
Last year when Greenwood bailed, Hamish said openly if he can get 4 years elsewhere good luck to him.

We’re oh so proud of our (wooden spoon) award winning player ratings and list management strategy.

It will continue to happen. That’s why I hardly give a shit about our draft hand this year. The best recruits are likely to get picked off because someone else offers a better deal. And we’re way too smart to match.

Fox Footy reads BF, LOL.
They have modified the above to now concede that a second round pick may be enough to get the Hately deal done. :)
No movement on the Dunstan prediction, though.
 
Scott Thompson was drafted pick 16 and we traded pick 12 to get him.
Thommo's 1st 4 seasons yielded 9, 5, 13 and 12 games.
Not only will Hately be bucket loads cheaper but he will play more than 13 games in his 1st season

Not really a fair comparison - Hately won't have to compete for a spot in a midfield already stocked with the likes of Ricciuto, McLeod, Goodwin and Edwards! God, I would kill to have a midfield of that calibre again.
