Pick 2 to Brisbane for Docherty and pick 7.

Pick 7 to Western Sydney for Taylor Adams.

Two midfielders for the price of one? Riding the go-home factor for all it's worth. Pick 7 for Adams is quite ambitious but if he decides he wants to leave, GWS will take the best offer which might just be ours.

Or, it might work the other way around - Western Sydney acquire Docherty at whatever suitable price, and on-trade Docherty with Taylor Adams to us, for pick 2.

I don't know that much about Docherty, but I like the principle in your numbers... if Adams doesn't happen with P7 young Crouch may well be still there.

but what about Rich, would you inquire about Daniel Rich?

Judging by the growing string of Clubs publicly declaring themselves not interested in Martin and the stand-off between his knucklehead manager and RFC, maybe we should rethink conjuring up a deal. If we thought of a fair package for him, maybe we can convince him to nominate for the pre-season draft, where we will be in pole-position to snap him up (especially in the light of GWS's official statement that they are not interested). Injecting him into our midfield without needing to trade or use a first-round draft pick has immense appeal. I am sure that Roos could devise a management plan to overcome any possible cultural differences between him and the rest of the list.

If we can entice Martin and Cross on board, and still have pick 2 [and a possible PP], then we are starting the draft/trade process from a good basis. Also knowing that our midfield already contains Martin Cross, Jones, Viney and Toumpas may entice other midfielders to show interest, particularly when we can also offer a strong forward and backline structure and an A-List Coach in Roos.

I like this concept alot, trading pick 2 for a good young player that will improve with our list and a high pick,

pick 7 prob gets us a choice between

Freeman ( who i liken to Dangerfield )

Crouch ( who i liken to Mitchell or Selwood )

Sheed ( Simon Black )

if we don't get Adams there is every indication those boys will become high quality players, and the thing they all have in common is they're ready to go.

I like the concept of turning the P2 into two players... its the depth of quality we need atmo, more than a AA Joel Selwood...

it doesn't have to be Docherty, but imo we need to get a player, plus a Pick better than P9.

... so I think a deal should be made with either of the Suns, Eagles, Lions, Crows.
