Or all of them together and there will be a frantic last minute frenzy tomorrow?
There was some talk that we needed Carlton to offer pick 5 for Marchbank and we'd use one of our next years firsts in to swap for pick 5.
It would benefit gws with their academy picks next year..and apparently they were interested
Looking unlikely...
We should maybe bid on Marchbank to make it happen,
I'm hoping some of our to be delisted players find a new home and happy to call it quits.. But you just never know if we have one more card to play
1. Trade out a player and /or 23/36 in return for a first rounder
2. Trade 23 and 36 together for a first rounder.
3. Trade one of next year's first rounders for a first rounder this year.
4. Do nothing and go to the draft with 23 and 36 and two first rounders next year.
Any other suggestions?
Regarding the JOM / Hawks thing, I see an article on the ABC website quoting the CEO of the Suns absolutely bagging the Hawks.

Pretty sure I announced Koby Stevens on here 2 days before he requested trade to Saints.

Re: Jaxons come on down
NO to 13 or 15. Top 8 is elite. 9-30/35 is very even. Happy to keep 23 and get a very good player. Back our recruiters to find a nugget at 36 too.
Next year start with 2 first rounders and hit FA hard. Will be in an excellent position post 2017 draft.
(Roo, Joey and Dempster probably be finishing up by then though)

Yes good position for a team on the rise. Free agency options, quality young players coming out of contract, salary cap space and high draft picks to play with.Playon wrote:If we can get back into the first round it gives us a huge advantage next year with those options..st.byron wrote:

Was wondering about that. How much better off would we be with say, pick 13, than 23 and 36?Ross who? wrote:NO to 13 or 15. Top 8 is elite. 9-30/35 is very even. Happy to keep 23 and get a very good player. Back our recruiters to find a nugget at 36 too.

If the draft is very even, then is there really that much benefit in trading up to a pick in the mid-teens. Up to a top 8 pick I guess is a different ball-game.
Perhaps the longer term plan is also being considered....i.e being able to trade first rounders in years to come.

Re: Jaxons come on down
Yes but my understanding is if a club decides to make a player an offer and keep in on their list he is not a delisted free agent so can not go into the main draft.ace wrote:saintsRrising wrote:Relalx.ace wrote:Still no deal on Koby Stevens.
Mongrels and Saints still have not settled the deal.
Saints have 50 which they probably would no use in the draft if they still have 23 and 36.
Take it Mongrels you won't get 36
I doubt the Dogs are trying to get 36 and that he delay is just due to all the other higher profile players that are yet to be traded and early draft picks that may be secured. The JOm deal being the main roadblock...or perhaps even opportunity.
Deal or Stevens goes to the pre-season draft.
But can go to the pre-season draft.

A bit of delayed gratification is ok.
Roo, Joey, Dempster and Gilbo will all be cooked or semi-cooked at the end of 2017 so it will be a huge morale booster to enter the trade period and/or draft with two first rounders at that point in time. Some fwd thinking.

"The legal advice means the drugs body is briefed to consider its own independent move on the trio if the AFL does not lay charges.
The AFL has received legal advice and is deciding whether to lay charges of avoiding a performance-enhancing drugs test, which brings a mandatory minimum four-year penalty. The news that ASADA has sought legal advice separate to the AFL indicates it was preparing for the possibility of acting regardless of the AFL."
That can be counted in millions of dollars lost income.
In the circumstances, I would have done the same.
If they would show some common sense and stop testing recreational drugs we wouldn't have this issue at all. Poor drug policy is more harmful than no drug policy at all.

The advantage we'd have next year if we can get back into the first round would be huge.. Is it worth more than pick 36? We have a nice cake time for some icing on top and cream in the middle

Re: Jaxons come on down
If I understand correctly the rules about needing to use first round draft picks two out of every four years and not just trade them, if we use a first rounder this year, we will have the flexibility in the next two years of trading our first rounders if it's to our advantage.saynta wrote:No. What for?st.byron wrote:Trade our two second rounders for a first rounder this year, use that pick in this year's draft and thus give ourselves the option of trading with our first rounders in 2017 / 18?jaxons wrote:st.byron wrote:So we could :Playon wrote:Guaranteed a last minute frenzy but perhaps not from us..Who knowsst.byron wrote:So nothing's happened today regarding our position.

Hawthorn had the picks to get O'Meara.
Pick 14, 23, 36 and next years first rounder would certainly have sealed the deal.
But the Hawks got greedy they spent pick 14 on Tom Mitchell then turned to Gold Coast and said none our players want to play for you and we don't have much left in the way of draft picks. You are going to have to help us out here because we need your player to win us another premiership.
Hawthorn's behaviour was deliberate and pre-meditated.
They knew they could not muck around with Sydney but hey Gold Coast they are not contenders we can muck with them.
