I actually don't quite understand why GWS would sell the house for Petracca while we are so willing to trade him away.
Because GWS, just like the Gold Coast before them, have to reduce the numbers on their list !! They have the exact opposite problem we do. They are willing to unload multiple really good draft picks to get one outstanding draft pick. GWS are actually doing exactly what they need to do here (if they trade 4, 6, 7 for our pick 1). They bring in an elite senior midfielder, and another number one pick, and trade out kids that wanted to go home due to lack of game time etc. to make it happen. They reduce their list size and only bring in elite talent. We just happen to be in the right place at the right time to be the beneficiaries of their needs. Jaksch, Whiley & pick 19 for pick 7. Neither kid was a regular, and pick 19 to GWS is like pick 60 to us. If they're smart they'll do the same thing again next year too. They'll bundle up players and picks that are attractive to standard clubs to work up the draft order or land top end senior players.
Their list is still 48 players and they need to get that down to 40 !! Plus they still need to bring players in via the draft every year like everyone else. They will be expecting more kids to want out next year too, so watch for them working that into top end picks and class senior players, probably for another two years. They also have one problem that the Suns don't. Most kids would be happy to live on the Gold Coast to play footy, can't necessarily say the same for Western Sydney

For them to do it it would have to be for broader list balance reasons. Maybe they dont want 3 more 18 yo kids? Maybe they will try for another older player.

That would suggest they are looking at trading with Melbourne IMOfingers wrote:On SEN just now they are saying GWS will turn their attention to McCartin.
Gary Lyon reckons Brayshaw is a lock for Melb @2. If they pick Wright @ 3, Petracca may be @4 is Scott Lucas is correct.Die Hard 7 wrote:Any chance of them becoming interested in McCartin at 1 due to losing Boyd, them moving up to one to take McCartin, then melb taking petracca with 2 and Wright with 3 and leaving Brayshaw to slide to 4?

So Melbourne dont get any of Brayshaw or Petracca, who are clearly 1 & 2 on thier hit list.dragit wrote:That would suggest they are looking at trading with Melbourne IMOfingers wrote:On SEN just now they are saying GWS will turn their attention to McCartin.
2 & 3 for 4,6 & 7?
