Mate, doesn't matter what number you go. It's how you can perform on the big stage. Ben Brown went in the rookie draft. I'm sure if teams had their picks again, he might've gone a lot higher. For every Luke Hodge there's five jack watts who go number one.

He will eventually nominate a club. He obviously quit essendon with a number of clubs that want him. We will just have to wait until his decision is made public.
Carlilse for Jack Billings is a fair deal imo.
Saints get a quality key back to help out Goddard and Essendon get a classy mid that they are lacking.

LOL
The saints will never ever ever do that.
Pick 5 in a straight swap won't be coming up either. Need to cough up more than that to get pick 5.
No way I'd do Billings for Carlisle if I were the Saints. Even without the WADA factor to consider.
Carlilse+Melksham+second round?

I'd prefer a packet of chips over Melksham.
Billings s a gem, X factor written on him, untouchable imo for the saints to go forward
Carlisle and Zaharakis as a starting point is what St Kilda may consider.
Then again they still want to go down the draft route to improve their list.
Top 5 picks are gold.
Would do that.

Yes because top 5 picks are guaranteed to land you a superstar player such as a Jack Watts, Richard Tambling, Tom Scully etc.
Agree, make no sense for the Saints to trade Billings given their strategy. Would have to be a stupid good deal that fit their strategy.

Billings would be virtually untouchable.
Unless traded for another virtually untouchable young player, such as Hogan. Which is of course, never going to happen. Ever.
Billings is by all reports very happy at St Kilda, unlike Carlisle at Essendon.

You vastly underestimate how much being out of contract devalues Carlisle.
Melksham has no value so he won't be considered.
Zaharakis might be a decent get for St Kilda, still too reliant on 3 mids (Armitage, Steven and Montagna)
But Zaha and Carlisle is the very least as to what it would take.
I'd say Carlisle is worth around 10 - 14 and Zaharakis a late first/early second.
Marcus Bontempelli and Jake Stringer say otherwise.

You can't afford to lose Zaharakis.
What kind?
They aren't fool proof, but they have a better hit rate than any other method except maybe F/S picks, e.g. Hodge, Judd, Riewoldt, Pendlebury, Roughead, Cameron, Brayshaw, Franklin, Goddard, Delidio, etc etc etc

Who sits around dreaming up this garbage, Billings leaving is up there with the pixies.
I think realistically our only chance of getting something half decent is if the Hawks, Tigers or Roos are willing to part with their firsts.
If its the Saints a couple of second rounders will be the best we can hope for and Id take that if offered.

Okay I think the Carlisle for Billings is ridiculous considering Billings is contracted and a required player at St Kilda, but there is no way Carlisle + Zaharakis = Billings.
I wouldn't do Carlisle for Billings since Carlisle can come for a cheaper price considering that he is uncontracted and doesn't want to play at Essendon.
But 2 second rounders ain't gonna cut it. If that's all St Kilda will offer, then he'll go somewhere else.
Expect this to go to the last day
