Pick 2 & 3 to Adelaide for Taylor Walker, Dangerfield & Lyons...

They'd be keen for first rounders.

Yep I'm dreaming

If Petracca shows up with a haircut at all similar to Martin's I will personally fly down there, take shearers to his melon and give him a slap across his face for the trouble.

After which he'd take you to the cleaners!

Lets not get ahead of ourselves,

Too many clubs have failed picking for needs..... Mc cartin is too much of a gamble

St.kilda or whoever they trade the pick to will pick best availble if they are fair dimkum meaning they will pick pettracca

Anyway for Petracca we would want a Whitfield, Coniglio, Swallow, Wingard, Kelly, Bontempelli, Mccrae, O Meara, Martin, Bennel or Aish as a minimum

Bontempelli thanks.

I don't think McCartin is a gamble at all and would be more than happy if they take Petracca for us to take him.

I sometimes worry about someone that was talked about as high teens maybe later last year coming in as a lock on 1st position this year. That could be seen as a gamble.

I'd love for both Tex and Dangers to be in the red and blue next year, however on a realistic scale, can't see it happening sadly.

I think this was all planned... Paul Roos has out pick 2 on the trading table so that it can convince the AFL to give us a priority pick...Took me a while

Paul Roos just said Pick 2 or a priority pick is on the market again at years end.

I dont like it. Last year's excuse was that there was any big bodied midfielders in the top end.

This year we have Petracca and Brayshaw as potential picks and we are still going to trade it away?

I always said we must unfortunately rebuild through the draft and start fresh.

Paul Roos is after fix fixes im afraid..

Not so Sure Dazzle, Were you not happy with the way it panned out for us this year??

Yes I was only because Roos was after bigger bodied mids which he got in Tyson and there was none around the pick 2.

I just believe a gem like Petracca would be too good to refuse. Could see him making an impact like Wines and Luke Dunstan did for their first years. He is also the prototype player that Roosy is exactly after. It would be like having a Josh Kennedy but also sit in the forward line and potentially kick 4 or 5 goals. So he had versatility that Roosy also loves.

Lets not forget he kicked 41 goals as a forward last year behind big Tom Boyd.

Collingwood are keen on Petracca, and given what's happened to them over the weekend I can easily see them trading a Beams type in exchange for pick 2.

Collingwood traditionally want everything for nothing such is their arrogance. They'll never give up Beams.

I'd keep pick two for Petracca. His agility and size is amazing.

Good to see the Toump sticking fat. Shows some decent commitment and character. Yet to see the best of him.

Well done Jimmy.

Would cost Collingwood beams and pick 7-8

I love that idea. But Beams is an A grader...when was the last time we have had a A grader aparat from maybe Jones...I just can't see it happening. Our team and A graders can't coincide

Just to echo the above, pretty confident the only reason Roos has floated pick 2 and not the compo Frawley pick is just because he can't talk about that as a fait accompli as yet.

But make no mistake, if we end up with picks 2 and 3 I'm confident we'll trade one and keep the other, especially if we get an end of first round PP to trade as well.

Depends how the club rates Petracca I guess.

What horrible scores do we and Saints need for us to have less percentage than them?

Not wanting it to happen only asking, what scores would cause it.

actually probably cant do it...closest i can rig it is to about 4% ahead of Saints

Saw on bigfooty that a poster mentions he is close mates with Petracca brothers and was around his joint the other day.

Apparently all clubs have interviewed him but GWS and Melbourne.

Whhaaaaa. That's strange. Hey can you give me a link please?

Petracca doesn't excite me from the videos. Don't get me wrong all the videos of draftees look good but there doesn't seem anything too special for mine. Anyone seen him in the flesh that rates him highly?

Maybe it's a sign we're going to sign someone big like Dangerfield

What did toumpas say? I cant read the article

I hope any offer for pick 2 has to almost go to board level for approval. Really worried Roos' ego might see him go for whatever quick fix he can get because he knows that 5 or 6 wins next year is a distinct possibility and his 3 years at MFC will be a huge blight on his record.

Who could we possibly get with pick 2 this year that we didn't already approach last year?

If Rockliff, Sloane, Shuey, Crouch etc turned us down last year why would they come this year? An extra $100k?

From what I have seen pick 2 for Shiel or Treloar - 181cm mids - would be overs. They're very good players but pick 2 should be superstar territory and I don't think they have anywhere near the weapons of players like Fyfe or Dangerfield. Can't see Treloar or Shiel agreeing to come to the Dees anyway given we are GWS' [censored].

I cant for the life of me understand why some get so carried away with draft picks in so much as they are a means to an end, not an end in themselves. The name of the game is to better your list. Draft picks are currency and the actual draft something this side of lotto.

By all means take kids when and where but the priority ought to be to get players ready to go...right now. Surround them with some youth but its folly to expect youth to get you too far of themselves and thats been out undoing of the last decade, trying to put the cart before the horse.
