GWS already said he is one of the untradeable.

And we said we arent trading Grif.

I live in hope for the quality book ends and a plundering of this draft.
Jones + Tutt = Carltons 2nd for our 3rd.
Cooney = Dons 3rd.
Minson for Lonergen.
Grif for Cameron.

We come out of this with Cameron, Lonergen, keep pick 6 for a key defender, three 2nd rounders and one 3rd rounders

This is how it must go down.

I would but I'd be laughed down pretty quickly, I imagine. You don't trade players like Steven unless they want to leave.

Saints are desperate to get more first rounders. We have the money and the draft picks to offer a ready made replacement for griff using pick 7. Still leaves us with pick 4 and 6 for talls. Lets explore that option of a ready made midfielder.
 
GWS don't have the money to trump both Brisbane's deal to beams and Ryder's deal to Port. They won't be going to GWS.
Don't they? Folau's gone, and Ward and Scully's contracts were heavily front loaded plus COLA. They'd have as much salary cap room as anyone.
Also I'm not arguing that they'll go there, just that GWS will want the picks to be able to try and lure them there.
 
Griff can go die in a dirty river somewhere. Accepts the captaincy and negotiates with GWS in the same year. Get out you total campaigner. Kiss my deep and dirty passage on the way through. GWS supporters who dare come over here in the next two weeks can all GGF'd as well.

The end.

Folau was paid virtually all outside the salary cap. They cannot afford getting beams, Ryder and Griffen in the one offseason.

Yes they're desperate for picks but not at the expense of a 24 year old up-and-coming gun. It'd be like us trading Libba. Not going to happen.

Stuff happens. Lets play hard ball:
I think untradeable is no longer a term, which is exactly what our clubs recruiters should tell them IF we sit down. You target our captain with a contract 18 months out and now say your team in untouchable. I call Bull! Start with picks 4, 7 & 21 OR 4 plus our choice of player?
Or we walk outside and tell the media you are trying to rip us off.... Tell the media, "their loss, Griffen can sit on our list for a year". AFL won't like this solution as the want GWS to get a big name and will intervene. If they intervene by strong arming us at our end, just call a few of the other presidents, you get all the Vic ones plus Lions onside and then we get something closer to fair value. Other teams will know that if we get ripped like this, then it can happen to then just as quickly. Yes we are unfashionable, yes we get short changed but use our 1 advantage of being in Victoria the heartland of AFL. Use the other clubs here to make sure we get compensated. None of the other presidents would like what GWS has done to happen to them.
 
If we get pick 4 I don't really want to trade up. Confident Wright will be there, maybe even McCartin. Still sucks about that ****ing compo pick though otherwise we'd have pick 3 and be guaranteed McCartin/Wright/Petrecca.

What if we can trade up and get wright and McCartin?

I think trading a few second rounders to either St Kilda or Dees will move us up to the top 3. As long as we get 4&7 from GWS, we should be able to get into the top 3.
