I think so. Might even try straight swap them all and see if we can predict which teams may think they're going to go well but we think may go worse than those picks. Dees, Pies, Cats, whoever wins the flag would have to be options. Even the Dogs are more than capable of shitting the bed any given year under Bevo lolSurely if we ended up with that you’re bundling a few picks for next years draft.
Take 1,6,9 10, 15 this year then bundle
17 & 20
21 & 22
And get some future picks for next years draft.
And good development coaches.times are different now. We actually have a recruiting department now
Isnt two years ahead draft picks in line to be introduced this period. If we get a haul like that, then spread them over next two future drafts, then we have sustainable rebuild quality picks (doesnt mean though players picked will be any good, just is exciting lol)Surely if we ended up with that you’re bundling a few picks for next years draft.

nopeShouldn't be that hard to find the list spots:
Grimes, Naismith, Martin, D.Rioli, Baker, Graham, Bolton, Cumberland, Coulthard, Dow
Then you've got McIntosh and Pickett who are probably on the fringe.
+ rumours of Steely heading west and MRJ joining Dan on the GC.
That seems like too many points to give Brissy. How much is 36 or 39 worth. Might be able to hold onto one of them.I wonder if it all plays out like this;
Trade 1
Fremantle get: Bolton + Baker
Richmond receive: 7, 12, 16, 25
Trade 2
GC get: Dan Rioli
Richmond receive: 11, 20
We could maybe even get pick 6 instead of 11 from the suns for Rioli if we pay a lot of his salary and threaten to bid on lombard etc
Trade 3
Lions get: 36, 39, 41, 54, 57, 63 (1874 points)
Richmond receive: 17 (1025 points)
Richmond draft hand: 1, 7, 11, 12, 16, 20, 21, 25
The only way to make it attractive to brisbane is to overpay, they'll need points to match Ashcroft (top 5) and Marshall (top 25), and with the amount of picks we could have I don't think we will be too precious about picks in the mid 30'sThat seems like too many points to give Brissy.

Pretty sureAnd didn’t Barry Hall lose his media gig over distasteful comments as a consequence?
Don't think teams usually pay double. Thought it was usually 30 or 40%.The only way to make it attractive to brisbane is to overpay, they'll need points to match Ashcroft (top 5) and Marshall (top 25), and with the amount of picks we could have I don't think we will be too precious about picks in the mid 30's
I don’t believe anything’s concrete yet, just rumours gettin stronger by the dayHas anyone actually heard any definitive reports that Shai, Bakes & Daniel want to go or is it all innuendo/click bate still?
Seems sillyIf Rioli, Bolton, Baker and Graham all leave this year we're going to have about $3mill in cap space become free. That's a hell of a spending spree during next years free agency window, plus could use it next year to pay off a big chunk of Hopper and Tarantos deals and front-end Baltas new contract to really set us up for the mdium to long term.
The points difference in favour of brisbane is 849, which is equivalent to about pick 22Don't think teams usually pay double. Thought it was usually 30 or 40%.
May as well start hoping they shit the bed from here
This ****ing tight arse. Just have all the picks then ya grub ffsDon't think teams usually pay double. Thought it was usually 30 or 40%.

Sure, if you ignore the 5 first round draft picks that come in as well.Seems silly
The money we would be spending on free agency would just be paying overs to replace the players that we are trading out this year
All just to gamble on the draft when we are already in a very strong position draft wise
First round picks aren’t the be all and end all, look at Essendon
They have the most amount of first round picks in the league and they are a mediocre side
Might just hold them all tbh. 28 new playersThis ****ing tight arse. Just have all the picks then ya grub ffs
We're do I sign. Only thing is I want to bank something for the draft in 2025. Go in with 2 first rounders.I wonder if it all plays out like this;

We could just as easily have 2 or 3 without losing our best young established talent that are already contractedSure, if you ignore the 5 first round draft picks that come in as well.
Essendon loaded up on soft players in a weak draft with Cox, Reid and Perkins.
And get stuck in no mans land. Better off taking the hit for the short term while we have the opportunity IMO.We could just as easily have 2 or 3 without losing our best young established talent that are already contracted
At what point are we just over capitalising
If we use the hawks as our template they didn’t trade its top at talent in the same position like SicilyAnd get stuck in no mans land. Better off taking the hit for the short term while we have the opportunity IMO.
Yep.This draft looks deep.Yeah, why not? I get all the reasons and there’s plenty of them, but as long as it’s taking guys who we’ve prioritised rather than just greedily loading up because you can I don’t really care how many.
Seems like an unprecedented draft. Might as well grab all our favourites
Hawks did offload Mitchell and O'Meara for what they could though. Noah Balta would be our current equivalent of Sicily 5 years ago.If we use the hawks as our template they didn’t trade its top at talent in the same position like Sicily
Better off still having them on the list in 2 - 3 years time when the kids are at a level to contribute consistently and have a proper handover
Otherwise we end up like North with a lot longer like 5-6 years before the kids can actually make a meaningful difference without older heads around them
