I wouldn’t take him for a pick under 30-40. Can’t take a contested mark and not exactly a pack crasher either. Great kick and that’s about it imo.He would be a nice to have, but not for the cost
2nd rnd this year and f1 would be their thinking.
Yeah especially if it’s to play as a 2nd or 3rs forwardI wouldn’t take him for a pick under 30-40. Can’t take a contested mark and not exactly a pack crasher either. Great kick and that’s about it imo.

lol pretty sure it would've been for a holiday during the bye week, but suns do have 3 picks inside 20. Rioli did look like he'd been caught with his pants down though
IMO we can't afford to be trading our better players out, that's going down the Hawks path & we need to avoid that at all costs. No point in us even consider trading Shai, to be worth it we'd have to draft a kid of his quality & that'd be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.I don’t think we have, I know we poached Clarke from you guys but surely he knows there is no way we have the draft currency to afford him under contract? He’d be a game changer at Freo and a few other clubs as well. As good as he is, he isn’t going to be the difference between top and bottom 8 for us. Mentioned it here before but what you guys do with your bounty of picks (other than get as high as possible) and your stars with currency will be fascinating as there’s no clear right answer.

I agree with the last paragraph, unlike most rebuilding sides, we already have a crop of kids on the list before hitting the bottom (thx to investing in the Draft while on top), we just need to add to that crop & give them exposure this yr, which due to injuries more of them are playing at once than we'd planned, but we'll see that pay off in the long run. Hence my above post about being against trading our better players out. We'll be able to improve our hand with our junk picks thx to the Draft rorting system certain Clubs get to take advantage of each yr. This yr we can get something out of that for ourselves.I can definitely see the need for some outside class with you guys. Hell, we need it ourselves atm, hoping that players like Clarke and Banks can provide it once given more exposure to AFL footy.
The common consensus is a midfielder and KPF. Jagga Smith and Tom Gross both trained with us during pre-season this year, so can easily see us picking either of them based on that, but like you've alluded to yourself with the potential to be the best kid in the draft, it's hard to pass up on someone like Josh Smillie if you have the option (insert obligatory comparison to the Bont or Cripps here because of their height). Not sure a clear KPF has shown themselves to the draft yet, although Jack Whitlock seems to have had a good start to the season.
Yeah, I also don't see either WA teams having the resources (both in terms of picks or player trades) that will be enough for us to budge on Shai. Clarke was less involved with trading from memory, and was more associated with the draft, but it's a safe bet to assume that Clarke would have an understanding of what would be needed to even begin a convo in this regard.
I'm probably in the minority in thinking that we don't need to go into a full rebuild, and that as long as we cover gaping list needs such as a high quality KPF, then the rise back up the ladder might be quicker than some might expect (both internal fans, and outside noise).
If they got a high pick why would they not trade it as currency for what they do want?? Can you trade a pick you get from a trade losing a player or do you need to incorporate it in a 3/4way trade with multiple clubs?
Looking at who they have with a dramatic transformation and Dimma seemingly changing how they do it to a degree, lot of academy talent still to come in they may not want a high draft pick but they can use it to trade for what they may want
WTF is this chat and constant mentioning of trading Short? This will categorically not happen.

walked out of the 'G post game that night being laughed at by a group of Cats fans who were carrying on like they'd won the flag. They laughed when i told them we'd meet again in sept. Hot damn did i enjoy that Prelim, what a night!In 2019, when we were the best, the cats belted us by 70 when we were missing 7-8 players of our best 22.

Lukosius is Griffens 2.0When you read suggestions to trade out the likes Lynch Bolton Baker Martin Short but then bring in the likes of Lukocious

Why would there need to be a trade if he's a UFA?Isaac Cummingis a UFA. He'd be perfect to take over from Pickett/McIntosh on a wing. Pace, great disposal and a good mark. Even if we had to cough up a pick and trade for him depending on what Dusty and Graham do, who cares. He'd be an excellent pickup.PLAYERCARDSTART13Isaac Cumming

Classic media, at least it is squashed quickly
Well if Graham and/or Dusty leaves as free agents it'd affect our compensation.Why would there need to be a trade if he's a UFA?
