Seems like we both agree on what Bolton can be as a player and that he needs the right situation to truly flourish and become a consistent player, but disagree on what his worth is at the trade table.
I can understand the desire to get 3-4 R1 picks but to me that would be reckless for a player like Bolton.
Doesn't matter now as Bolton appears to be staying which is what I've preferred happened all along
Need someone to have the picks available to do that trade with usGiven there is no absolute standout for pick 1 and that the top five are pretty even, would it be worth packaging pick 1 (if we finish last) for two high picks, providing one of them was in the top five?
Just putting it out there.

If AFL gifts Saints band 1 for Battle (LOL) that would be the only way I'd trade down for 4 & 5.Need someone to have the picks available to do that trade with us
Currently it would only be us trading pick 1 to Gold Coast for picks 7 and 9 (I think?)
Not sure I’d do that trade. There does seem to be a consensus top two picks and then at least a bit of a drop from there
No chance. Even if we win pick 1 is ours .watch GC lose to us in the last round giving us pick 2 lol
Welcome to Richmond RileyHarley Reid body language during the Simpson press conference and the fact Simpson looked to have some choice words to him and another player as he entered his press conference gives me hope Harley at WCE may not be long term. Stuff I’ve heard I’ve never really given credence too before but seeing that with my own eyes, something ain’t right.
I’ve been told Harley has a huge voice internally and his attitude has been a bit vindictive. It’s all interesting.
Saints may have pick 5 & maybe 6(FA battle).Given there is no absolute standout for pick 1 and that the top five are pretty even, would it be worth packaging pick 1 (if we finish last) for two high picks, providing one of them was in the top five?

He's played what, 10 games? And he's supposedly acting like that? Last campaigner I'd want at the club.I’ve been told Harley has a huge voice internally and his attitude has been a bit vindictive. It’s all interesting.
It would definitely be worth discussing; and the additional picks would possibly enough in combination with our current hand to enable a move back into the first round again .
The Cadman deal probably the framework which was 3, 12 and a F2 for 1. That was part of the Horne-Francis trade so the value may be a little skewed, but that would be the framework.
Also, whilst it’s always dangerous to compare to other sports, when the top pick is moved it is generally for at least another top 5 pick in the same draft.
Issue for mine is twofold; is there a team that would have those assets, and would that team also desperately want a player that would be one of the top two selections?
Realistically only three teams would be possible at this stage. North Melbourne; West Coast (if Baker doesn’t seek a trade to them AND they move someone like a Barrass for a later FRP) and Saints (if Battle leaves and they get FA comp).
I think on face value it would be difficult but certainly should be explored imo.
If there are no standouts in the top 5, why would a club who has a pick in the top 5 give us two picks and hamstring themselves for pick 1. Doesn't make sense.Given there is no absolute standout for pick 1 and that the top five are pretty even, would it be worth packaging pick 1 (if we finish last) for two high picks, providing one of them was in the top five?

If you were to offer that pick up, who takes it?Given there is no absolute standout for pick 1 and that the top five are pretty even, would it be worth packaging pick 1 (if we finish last) for two high picks, providing one of them was in the top five?

Interesting wears number 12 , 18 on 2/8/24 194cm ….Must take Jobe Shanahan with one of our picks
Ticks all boxes could be the next Curnow
GC makes sense but don't currently have good enough picks to tempt us (imo of course)Suns for example might do this to get ahead of a bid for Lombard.
He's still around, he just stopped leading the team thenIs FJ still around? I thought he retired a few years ago when Clarke took over
Not only this makes it more interesting come draft night. Not knowing who will go pick 1.I don’t think its a dud draft, just no standout.
I prefer that than get overhyped about someone only for them to end up average.
Yep, but Lids was pre-FJIsnt the last 3 Lids, Cotch, Martin?
I can't see it happening unless they decided to offload Lukosius and managed to get pick 4 off Adelaide in the deal.GC makes sense but don't currently have good enough picks to tempt us (imo of course)
It all depends on who we rate highest and who others rate highest. If we rate someone non-consensus as highest, or don't have a clear leader, we could trade down to pick 3/4 if we think we could still get them and bump up our draft haul.Given there is no absolute standout for pick 1 and that the top five are pretty even, would it be worth packaging pick 1 (if we finish last) for two high picks, providing one of them was in the top five?
