Wow 3 for 5 and 7! Would absolutely have to involve other picks somewhere, perhaps a future 1st from our end.
In a silly way pick 7 is kind of as valuable to them as pick 15, either way it will be used on one of their academy picks.
Hogan and Lobb signed up so next years first also loses value in a trading sense from our end.
This would be a ridiculous trade in our favour if we pulled it off.
I was thinking 7 and 15 + McCarthy for pick 3 would be great for us!

They have a number of accademy players worth pick 4 to 8.
It would help them out if no body bid on them until pick 9.
Well it would come with assurances we don't bid at pick 5 or 7 for a start. Plus they need to be willing to let a player go if the bid is too high and trying to force their hand. I read this morning Essendon may bid on an academy player. I'd say there's ZERO chance of that happening. It's all games.
Imagine Essendon bid on Setterfield or Bowes or Perryman and GC or GWS don't match. Their supporters would turn rabid, that they didn't pick up a genuine number 1.
I doubt Freo would play games either and in fact neither would GC. Victorian clubs might, but with picks 3 to 7 effectively locked up with interstate sides I'm starting to think this 3 for 5 & 7 thing might have legs.
BUT the only other big thing is it doesn't guarantee McGrath, but highly likely guarantees a pick before bids which is the same as 2 high quality players from their academy.
Interesting times!
If we get 5 & 7 we surely have to be giving them next years first as well. Id only do that if we got theirs back.
So we could've ended up paying pick 3 & 16 for CM but it could end up we have picks 5 & 7 + CM.....
I wouldn't think we'd get 5 & 7.
Reckon GWS will want to offer 3 & 5 to ESS for pick 1.
Maybe 7 & 16 for our #3.

Looking at it now, too sweet a deal.
Reckon it's even a chance? I doubt it.
Mayne free agency paperwork to be lodged shortly according to Trade Radio.

Ok nevermind that was short-lived
Does anyone have any idea (I'm looking at you Tayl0r ) when we'll know what compo we'll get for him?

There's no way that happens unfortunately. Unless there is players and/or significant other picks heading GWS's way. It's a nice little fantasy way to start trade week though.
The GWS deal seems great...a little too great. It is clear that GWS want McCluggage, and he is open to move anywhere which makes him ideal for them retaining a future star. I believe Essendon will take Will Brodie, and Brisbane are also open to trading #2. Gold Coast will be using #4 on Bowes.
The only way GWS will take our pick 3, is if they get to pick #2 knowing Essendon will take Brodie, or they will want to get the #1. Would Brisbane accept picks 5 and 7 for pick 2? Would we accept pick 3 for 5 and 7. I would say yes in both cases.
So why would they trade 3 for 5, 7 and Mc? Does not seem to add up to me.
I like it, but wishful thinking - something is missing here. The only thing I can assume is we give a second round to GWS for McCarthy as well.
Interesting to see what unfolds here.

Even if Chris sent me a text with his exact contract details the AFL commission can change the compensation pick if their matrix presents an answer they didn't expect.
So who knows? Nobody. If we get out of it with a second pick we did alright, anything more than that and Chris is a hero of the club.
I'm sorry, I'm a bit slow. How could we get 5 and 7?? We only have a pick 3 to give.. surely that's not enough.
I thought Bowes was a lock top 3, so won't Bowes have to go at 4? otherwise surely he would go at 5? I can't get my head around the system - you have helped me get 70% there
I would be stoked to get Bowes.
Thanks Tayl0r. I was more at looking at when rather than what. Just so we know what we have in our trade basket.
