I don't even.
I remember when our premiership window was meant to be just around the corner in 2009....
Hey, it's not potential, its the ankle issues that are the problem here. He is one of the best forwards NOW when he is fit. If his medical is OK and his ankles are managable, I give up 2 first rounders in a heartbeat. Players of his talent, size, athleticism are very very hard to find. Hell I wanted us to get him before Jenkins pulled his finger out towards the end of the season (in terms of his contested work)
Yeah, I don't think the difference between 5 and 9 would be great enough to warrant an 11 pick slide from 13-24.
Might consider it for Gold Coasts 3 and 22. Gives us the surity of getting the guy we would be hoping to slide to 5.
Yeah unfortunately I think it's that deal exactly... Which I again agree thinking we should just keep what we've got at this point

I think west coast have shown this year that for most mid to top of the table teams the premiership window is next year, or the year after that, or the year after that...
Also, with our potential pick upgrades, GWS plan on using one of their picks on their academy picks right? So that's kind of locked in meaning we're kind of moving up one less spot given we already know who they're selecting/can't beat them to that selection. The prospect of two top 10 picks sounds great.
That said, I'd still rather get some players that can start to improve our side now when the likes of Betts, Jacobs, Talia, Sloane, Tex are all in their prime.

Only way i see us trading out picks is if we have identified someone who wont be around at pick 9.

Yep, would rather 9 & 13. Better chance of getting 2 guns.
If Walsh were still here I think we would be in a premiership window, as is I think we've been pushed back a year tops in when we should genuinely enter our window. As such I think players in their early to mid 20's should be seriously looked at and that draft picks should absolutely be considered tradeable for the right deal.
Unfortunately doesn't look like we get a genuine A-Grader to replace Danger this year, but hopefully we can make some massive offers next year with the carry over dollars, making 2017 our year.

Some historical perspective...
Avg Number of Games played per selection (1996-2014 National drafts).
Adelaide's Picks
9 = 84 games average
13 = 104
28 = 45
32 = 52
St Kilda's Picks
5 = 101
24 = 79
42 = 32

sorry.I was actually just looking at that. They want a second crack in the first round, 32 wouldn't help them at all. You burst my bubble DJ

Brad Crouch's fitness will be a major factor in all of this.
there is no such thing as a premiership window.
people need to let go of that ridicolous notion.

That's exactly what I heard as well. Not a fan.
After reading Emma Quayles book - I have a new found appreciation for the recruiting team and trades can fall over for a million different reasons. Just because we are sometimes disappointed that we weren't more active etc doesn't mean we didn't give it a red hot crack!
The book mentions Swans wanted pick 41 from the Saints for Membrey and the saints actually thought that was very fair. But they didn't want to do the trade because of their list profile and the amount of selections/upgrades they needed to commit to.
It's like people saying we could have got pick 2 and 3 for Danger last year - that would never have happened! Danger wouldn't have gone.

I don't see why GWS would do that, they lose Hampton and downgrade 2 top 10 picks picks for pick 28?
Just a thought - would it be worth bringing in Ryan Crowley?
I'd just play him twice a year - both on Dangerfield.

How about doing that pick swap with st kilda and we throw in lyons too?

I reckon pick 9 is locked up, we have put it in our safe and won't touch it until draft night.
We will see if we can try turn pick 13 into a top 10 pick though and would give up 28 and 32 to get there and if Kerridge is looking to go, he may be involved.
So the question is, what does it take to turn 13 into a top 10 pick?
