An improvement in draft position, however small, would be nice, if possible

Agreed. I'd like to think the club will at the very least, attempt something today.

Was stated this morning that it could be the best draft in 30 yrs.

.......I did have a laugh when he said that Prestia chose Richmond because of their list.  What list?  They have about 4 good players and the rest are bog ordinary.

Make that 3 good players as one of them is foofing off to GWS today. 

When he was saying the good list thing I was waiting for Dion to throw his hands in the air and say "I can't do this" like Mal Maninga did when he had his 30 second (literally) political career

Maybe, but they all knew Hibberd was coming and Lewis is just one guy and could play in a number of positions. ANB is the obvious one but I'm not sure teams would be all that interested in him and it's a big step to decide to up and move in one week.

ANB would do worse than asking to move in with Jordan Lewis in 2017.  While he doesn't necessarily have the "c factor" that Lewis does, he could learn a bloody lot about playing both inside and outside.

Jordan Lewis has a young family.  He will not be living with any player.

I have no idea why we didn't go out and try and persue Vardy or Nankervis for one of our late picks 

Do you know that we didn't?  Our team play their cards a lot closer to their chests these days.  

[Lord Travis 10,793]

Gold Coast have a lot of first round picks, is there any way we can package something up to trade for one of them? They're going to have 5-6 first rounders and our first pick comes in the late 50s! We've done well this trade period but it would be great to get further back up the draft order.

was reported in hun today that when dion had talks with the ferals he sought assurances that dimma would not be sacked. really do question his judgement

can just imagine the board at end of 2017 discussing dimma's sacking and saying "but we can't because we gave dion assurances that we won't" - lmao

Obviously I wasn't being serious about moving in with him.  I just want ANB to learn as much as he possibly can about the way he goes about his footy.

Witts trades from Collingwood to GCS for pick 44 and 62

Perhaps Dunn and a later pick to Collingwood for pick 44?

How are you feeling big fella?  You've stuck with Prestia all year, then he burned you in trade week.

Yep, struggle town. Am feeling pretty dirty for my Prestia love.

I can understand Hawthorn selling the farm for O'Meara (just) but can someone tell me why Geelong is giving up so much for Tuohy?  Is he that good?

He's about as good as Hibberd, so we got a bargain.

It's not really as much as it seems:

Tuohy + future Carlton's 2nd (25 this year) for Smedts + future Geelong 1st (16 this year)

Thought we'd trade down our picks in the last few hours but nothing so far. Would think we can trade down a few spots with GWS or Gold Coast.

Might be trying to get a pick upgrade for Dunn, then trade down after that.

Hypothetical - if the O'Meara trade doesn't get done and Hawthorn plan to take him at 10 in the ND.

If we still held our 1st at 8 would we take him with it?  We'd have the period up to the draft to convince him to join us.

He won't last to 8 in the PSD, he won't even survive past Essendon.

He'll nominate the ND to get to Hawthorn at 10 (but even then, would be funny if Gold Coast or GWS took him beforehand with their multitude of picks before Hawthorn).

I didn't say PSD, I said ND.

Well you mentioned our first pick being at 8, so I thought you meant to PSD.

As far as hypothesizing the alternate universe where we still have our first rounder in the ND? I'd say no, too expensive.
