Is Dan Houston worth ALL those shenanigans at the trade table, all that draft capital given away this year and next, plus potential cap issues? I would get it if we were talking about doing all that for a Tom Green or Zak Butters or someone similar.pick 12 is a dead pick for them with lombard and it will push back to at least 13 and maybe 14 by the time we would pick.
Id be looking to do this deal.
Noble, future 2nd (28 if we finish 9th again) and 48
for 12, 26, 70 and push a future 3rd (wont be worth much points which is what they are after and wont be used by them in 2025.)
26 will end up being likely 31/32 (Battle, Ashcroft, kaka, perryman, graham, Marshall)
a future 2nd is fair for that.
48 helps them with points for Lombard and is a little extra to help get us 12-14 for Noble.
70 will come in to about 60 and a pick they are unlikely to use that will still have potential talent around.
If we want Houston.
12 and our future 1st for Houston and to do the deal they would need to give us their future 2nd back to get that future 1st.
We then ideally have a f2 and 2 f3's for 2025 for McGuane. We will probably need a little more.
So we would end up with
Houston, Perryman, Condon (fingers crossed)
26, 33, 51, 70 and 80 which in reality will probably be something like 32, 37, 47, 60 and 65 once bids are matched and draft board is settled.
Issues with all this we would need Rioli to go for 6 and 20 making 12 and 26 dead picks for them. Owies not to go to GC and be picked up elsewhere.
We would also need to be able to fit Houston in our cap which in a year or 2 wont be a problem but next year might.
I mean... Pick 12 would more often than not get us an amazing 18 yo talent. Someone who will reach Dan Houston's age in 2033.
