This isn't necessarily what I'd do, or what i think certain players are worth, this is what I believe the club is intending/wanting to do. They have canvassed that their early picks are on the trade table should a deal be deemed suitable and from every conversation I hear from Harrington it leads me to believe that their preference is to trade pick 13 for a mature player, or package. Especially if Viney comes in the second round.

I agree ........ if we get Viney in the second round.

But I'd say that one of either 13 or 26 will be a kid and the other a mature player.

Depends on...

Dawes?

Caddy?

other?

Dawes at 13 would be a gross overpayment: is Wayne Swan running our budget?

I'm a fan. Looks like a young quick version of Shannon Grant. 200+ game player. Yes please if at 13.

Hold on to pick 13, use it on Kennedy and utilise picks later in the draft to pick up some mature bodies and established players in the ilk of Towers, Galea and so on.

Would love to get him but i think our chances are slim.

He would slot into our side from day 1 as small forward and then develop into a mid.

He does look a good prospect, I hope we dont go wasting pick 13 on mature body that is over priced, when we could get a player hopefully like Kennedy or Stringer who has potentially far greater ability. We should be able to pick up harder older bodies with later draft picks, there is likely to be a flurry of players who cannot be traded who will be dropped to make way for new/fresh blood.

This kid is a gun and is going to be a champion.

Explosive quickness and yet of his avg. 26 disposals nearly half (11) were conrested...he gets to the bottom of.

packs and then breaks away

Small forward pocket who with little midfield experience still averaged 5 clearances a game.

Dual u/18 AA who was nearly taken in last years mini draft by adelaide.

Spent his career with people telling him he's too short and still gotten to where he is...

He must be a competitive beast.

I would happily see the MFC use our pick 4 on him
