What I'd do for a Matt Thomas, Darren Pffeifer and Tom Logan midfield
Potentially 3 first rounders next year. I expect Ollie to make the move back to Vic in next 2 years, so bargaining with Carlton or Essendon will probably be in the planning phases already.
Looking ahead therefore , 2020 potentially offers up a new coach , 2 picks before 10 and one possibly late around 18. (if we negotiate right)
Lots to start thinking about and planning for now. (plenty to bargain with re lukosious)
The good thing about turfing Howard is we've got enough money to make a similar offer to Lukosius.
You might think 'He's not worth $3m over 5 years' but guess what? Neither was Howard.
Not necessarily my preferred option , trading Wines, but the writing is on the wall.3 first rounders in a weak draft.Woohoo. Butcher, Moore, Pittard? It seems like some are prepared to bet the farm on draft picks and getting Luk. Both are a lottery.
If we’re trading Wines in a weak draft we only take established players who improve our best 22.3 first rounders in a weak draft.Woohoo. Butcher, Moore, Pittard? It seems like some are prepared to bet the farm on draft picks and getting Luk. Both are a lottery.
His extended current contract gives us the upper hand in terms of how we want to play this out.(assuming some one has the guts to play hard ball) If next years draft is weak, we could move on players ie luk for picks x and y , or else delay to the following year assuming that draft is improved. Contractually that's the last year we can exert control of the situation.If we’re trading Wines in a weak draft we only take established players who improve our best 22.
Don’t accept draft picks in a poor draft.

Was that weakness or did what we really want to keep him. Ollie may be different ?Like Doogs?
Been there done that, drafting is our only saving grace atm.established players who improve our best 22.
The fact, after a full preseason, he couldn't make the Rd 1 side said it all to me.
Agree. Whilst Ken is coach we need young talent for the next coach. No semblance of an effective gameplan will just throw careers down the drain. Recruit only players who kick, then tick off the other boxesBeen there done that, drafting is our only saving grace atm.
I get what you’re saying but his “head had been turned”.We weren't in a tough position. If we genuinely valued him all we had to say was that he recently signed a long term contract extension and he's a required player. We won't be listening to offers.
Don't need to say anything else. Don't need to play games. If there's a problem with that it lies with the player's manager who advised him to sign the contract.
We didn't genuinely value him and were happy to offload for a nondescript pick and a downgraded pick in a weak draft.
Josh Walker what a spud.Josh walker was delisted by Brisbane. He would be a good role player for a few years.
We probably should try and move up one of our first rounders a few places and drop 29 right back so we can get two highly rated kids plus mead with bundled points.

They will play for under’s than to play for Ken.Degoey, Moore and Grundy our of contract next year I’d throw the sink at Moore. Can’t see them keeping all 3.

You might think 'He's not worth $3m over 5 years' but guess what? Neither was Howard.
If Howard could command 3 million what do you think Luk is going to command? He won't be coming here for love.
