Jake Stringer would be lethal in our forward line.

Traded: Khamis, Sweet
Delisted: Crozier, McComb, McLean, Roarke
A yesr as depth: O’Brien
One more chance: Bedendo, Raak
Lohmann and Tomlinson traded in?
Roarke, McComb and Khamis are rookie listed so that's only 3 national draft picks.

I’m a bit conflicted about paying pick 4 for a small forward as they can be found much later in the draft. There is very few players that have been picked early (Top 10) outside Rachelle and Rankine in the draft as small forwards, I can only think of:
Pickett GWS - flop
Ainsworth Gold Coast - role player, I have always likes him and felt he could’ve been a better player had he left Gold Coast. Not worth pick 4 though.
I think Watson is a safe pick though, at worst he will become a good small forward. At best I could see him becoming a very offensive mid like Errol Gulden (our midfield set up would have to change for an Errol Gulden type to flourish in our team).
I would like to see more of Watson’s defensive game before I was sold on 4. If this is not elite I’d be hoping for McKercher.
Everyone in the media were saying he was going to nominate Hawks

I would imagine our preference to gain pick 4 is our preferred option as well as getting Croft didn’t really work in our favour in making a real play for Henry in the first place. Plus st kilda are probably stupid enough to offer a first round for him as well
St.k are most likely to be able to satisfy Freo. Fremantle haven't shifted all year from wanting a late first round pick.

It’s St.kilda we are talking about wouldn’t rule it out if they did hand over a first rounder for Henry
There will have to be other picks changing hands aswell, Hawks were a chance before Brockman chose Eagles. Brockman and 29 for Henry would've been the deal.
Bell wouldn't except any less then the lions pick from us with nothing coming back so we backed out.
Fair call too hasn't shown enough to be worth a 1st
He us worth what someone will pay, it will come down to how many Rucks hit the market. Late 2nd early 3rd around the mark. Depending on how badly the acquiring team wants to get him

If we lose Sweet then we will have to go out and find another one in the trade period or draft one.
Depends on where Sammy rates the list if he thinks we are actually near the window he will go after a Mature ready to go ruck. If he thinks we are a while from contending will draft a kid with potential.
That's my take for the very little it's worth
Hmm. Personally I’d ask for more. He’s the best depth ruck just about in the AFL and the cupboard is bare with backup depth.
English historically hasn’t been the most durable player either.
I'd never draft a young ruckman again personally. As it is we have Darcy who could be a ruck in time or at worst Fwd/Ruck and Croft coming in who could develope as a pinch hitter. I'd be looking at a break glass 24-28 year old who will take the pressure off of the young talls at VFL and can be a break glass option.
Rucks shuffle around to much to develop your own, especially considering the length of time they take to come on and the potential for Free Agency to get lowered with the new CBA.
