Sounds like pick 12 will be the equivalent of a much numbered pick next year.

Noble, future first and third rounder for 12 and future second.

What happens when we slide down the ladder next year due to having a very old list and we end up with pick 6 but it's traded out... AGAIN

You'll use words like disaster and catastrophe with some big adjectives in front of it.

Meanwhile, the bloke picked at 12 in a strong draft is probably rated similarly to the bloke we would have gotten at 6 in a weaker draft - which we may not have have picked anyway due to trading it into the future draft - another unknown risk as that team might end up having a good year. So ultimately we would have gotten very minor unders for Noble.

Now if we don't crash down the ladder .. and heaven forbid go well ...you work out the rest ...

Yeah I am against it because of being burnt twice now but the problem is I think this is the time to do it … IF, we are extracting a value that gives us some sort of upside and not JUST downside like the latest F1 trade.

By this I mean we need a club to be willing to bet we miss finals again and our pick will be around 6-8. And give us value representing this.

I doubt this happens though.
I suppose if it’s true this draft is strong and deep, even if we can get pick 10 would be a good result in this draft.
 
We are Collingwood. Even if we slide down the ladder, we will be back to losing grand finals a few years after that.
That cliche is ancient history now. It’s been 43 years since that was true. Our more recent GF win loss record is a much more acceptable 3-4 from 1990 onwards, unlike 0-8 from 60-81.

My response was a bit tongue in cheek. I should have made it more obviously so.
 
McCrae has stated Noble is a required player, that there isn’t anyone playing his role currently that could substitute for him. Noble is currently contracted. In other words, the trade has to be advantageous to “us”.
We’re in the box seat; it’s our terms or no deal. The rest is piss and wind to coin someone else’s phrase.
 
Noble caught a case of Taylor Adams, but a year later. Let him go, as he doesn’t want to be there after feeling bitter from missing out on a premiership.

I very doubt he has a bitter bone in his body. Was never about that. But he is very close to his family and thats the main thing it came down to. Was offered a longer contract too.

And even if it was true that there is a case of 2023 disappointment fuelling his desire for a change, I absolutely wouldn't hold it against him. The bloke played about 80 consecutive games, and then wasn't picked for the three important ones. I am still shattered for him.
