Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
Apparently this is set to be announced as early as tomorrow. A Back Up/Developing Ruckman for a 2nd Rounder. Yeah, Fair Enough !! !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!
Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
Hope so!! Will be terribly disappointed if this doesn't eventuate now.
Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
What is our second round pick? I suppose the question they would be asking is where would this guy go in this years draft sfter playing a couple of years.
Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
Absolutely, will still hold hope that we package our first rounder with that for Caddy and another. Doubtful, but would love to get on the board with a good solid trade early on.

Today's paper was trying to imply the Kanga's were favoured to snare Hickey...

Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
If this is the case, then I hope we hang onto our compo pick from Goddard. We need a solid batch of draftees to add to our next core playing group, and by all reports there are 16-18 very good players available in the draft. Recruiting Hickey is smart, but I really only see him as backup or a contingency in case Stanley doesn't come on.
Would be handy if we could replace that second round pick with a slightly better one in return for Cripps.

This is what I had considered. The loss of Swift can only help Crippas chances (if he has his heart set on going home)mad saint guy wrote: ....would be handy if we could replace that second round pick with a slightly better one in return for Cripps.

Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
this from youtube:
4 years he's played the game, skills look ordinary, but did take 7 contested marks in 1 game, seems like a nice kid:

Nee!
Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
Yup, it was 34 before free agency, taking into account all the compensation picks from previous years. This blows out a couple more thanks to the free agents - as it stands we and Port would both get a first round compo pick making it 36. I guess there's a chance Melbourne and Essendon could also end up with first round picks?Stillwaiting wrote:I think it is 34.
Anyway, in the end it will be about 35. I have no idea how good this draft is but I'd reckon that's about fair value for a ruckman a couple of years in to his career. Pick 35s from previous years:
Daniel Markworth, Ben Newton, David Astbury, Jamie Bennell, Sam Reid (the s*** one), Mark Austin, Stephen Owen, Fabian Deluca, Brent Hall, Scott Bassett, Jarrad Wright, Allan Murray
Not a heap of quality there so Hickey doesn't have much to beat if that's the trade. He'd want to end up better than Fabian Deluca!

Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
Clearly Essendon will not get a first round compo pick. They got goddard, so he counts against however they lose.. they will get nothing.Melbourne and Essendon could also end up with first round picks?
Melbourne will also have Sahnnon Byrne count against whoever they lose... so they will get nothing or little from the Net Free Agency movements
Anyway.. Hickey for round 2 may end up bein a fantastic trade for us... and it means we can now move on from Ruck to other needs on the list.. having not spent too much and having 2 good picks up our sleave
Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
would be a great way to start to trade period.

Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
Nah, that's crap. If Melbourne gain Byrnes but lose Rivers and Moloney, they're miles behind on the deal so some compensation has to be justified - probably a second round pick though.SuperDuper wrote:Melbourne will also have Sahnnon Byrne count against whoever they lose... so they will get nothing or little from the Net Free Agency movements

Re: Hickey for our 2nd Round Pick !!
Would think if we are getting him for our second rounder (around 35) and getting Melbourne's second rounder for Farren Ray (26 ?), then we are effectively swapping Ray for Hivkey with with a 10 place upgrade on our second round pick. Shapes up nicely IMO.
Also, if Cripps goes. you would think we would get K Stevens for him and not go after Caddy.
that would be:
Out - Goddard, Cripps, Ray, Pick 35
In- Hickey, Stevens, Pick 13, Pick 26.

We won't be getting Melbourne's #26 pick if they're using it to acquire Jack Viney.
