Yes that's the flip side but I think 3 players 10 11 and Adams is better long term than 6 10 and keeping the troublesome Shaw. How would you feel if Adams goes to Geelong instead by Friday?

Why aren't you including our pick at 10?
Not sure if serious.

He's serious. And he should be. It was #11 that moved up to #6, not #10.

The guy that we pick at 10 is not still on the table for pick 11.
look at him goooo!

I lol'd as well. Assuming we have a gentleman's agreement with west coast, it is most definitely only a 2 pick upgrade. However as we clearly weren't planning to use pick 31 I'm quite happy with the trade.Yeh we might out draft ourselves with pick 10......
What are you on about?

If we'd moved #10 up to #6, then we'd have #6 and #11, with four (arguably three: North excluded) teams picking between our selections.Yeh we might out draft ourselves with pick 10......
What are you on about?
We didn't. We moved #11 up to #6, giving us #6 and #10, with three teams (arguably two) picking between our selections.
This distinction is important, and the fact that we effectively leapfrogged one of our own selections is irrelevant. If we'd moved from #11 to #9 and kept #10, you could say we'd only really gone up by one (ie. both picks up by one)... but even that's not the case.
I think this gentlemens agreement bullshit is getting out of hand. Everyone is talking about it like it's fact that we have some sort of agreement with them. I don't really believe we would say that we won't pick player X at both 6 and 10. We might have told them who we are most interested in but no way would we have said to them that we 100% will not draft player X.

Im happy we'll be getting 2 guns, that's all we should care about.

Sorry mate, but you should be LoLing at yourself. We can't draft the same player twice - pick 10 and 11 are not the same pick.
Let's take North our of the equation.
Therefore we've gone from Pick 9 and 10 to pick 6 and 9.
Now let's assume that drafting is an exact science and all clubs rate kids the same. The guy we draft at pick 9 won't change, what will change is that draft pick 10 now becomes draft pick 6. Thus the change is instead of getting the 10th highest rated palyer, we get the 6th highest rated player.

Why? Due to the fact the guy we pick up at 6 might be picked up by WCE, Brisbane or Melbourne instead and could be the difference between a flag or runners-up in the future.
Just because it is "even" from 5 to 11 in your eyes doesn't mean those players will actually turn out the same going forward. Some will definitely turn out better the others, so you might as well have first crack at it instead of being handed whatever is left over.

Yeah I agree I can't see us saying we won't get a player of we think he'll be the bet choice at our pick 6 or 10. In that case it's a 3 pick upgrade

This "agreement" business sounds dodgy to me too. Not discounting it but it seems like speculation at this point. The problem with it that I see is that we don't know how the other picks will go, so if we miss out on 2 or 3 of our top prospects and Sheed suddenly becomes the obvious choice at 10, we've either handicapped ourselves or we "betray" West Coast. I suppose it's a possibility only if Hine doesn't rate Sheed at all, or has ruled him out entirely for some other reason.

I'd also add that just because the media and bigfooty see it as even between 2 and 15 or so, that doesn't mean that the club does. Herd mentality is herd.

Who is KK?kk at 6 and sheed at 10 would be amazing. two very good players. kk your getting huge potential and already a quality player and with sheed your getting a sure thing.

Getting pick 6 and jumping a couple of spots is worth a "handshake".

Could you stop saying 2 positions, when its actually 3.
If we didnt have 6 WC would use it so really that is WC, Brisbane and Melb we jump ahead of.
Another way of looking at it - say all the clubs in this draft rate the same 15 players as real standouts
At pick 6 - 5 are gone, leaves 10 to choose from
At pick 10 - 9 are gone , leaves 6 to choose from
At pick 11 - 10 are gone , leaves 5 to choose from
Pick 11 to pick 6 would potentially give us an extra 5 players in the pool of who we rate to choose from-well worth while.

10 isn't moving and never was.
We are moving from 11 to 6.
6 replaces West Coast thats 1.
7 is Brisbane thats 2.
8 is locked with North Melbourne regardless.
9 is Melbourne thats 3.
10 is US again.
We are moving up 3 live selections.
