Aka Jake Lever?

Kid from the draft? (any draft watchers out there able to put forward likely prospects?)

Traded for other pick(s) and/or player(s)?

pacey outside mid with good footskils ala josh kelly please

I will second that as we need to draft a good mid if we cant get one from elsewhere.

I would rather send a player (take you pick out of Watts, Salem, Tyson,, etc) and if needed and a 2nd rounder to Adelaide for Lever.

Pick 10 for Lever, straight swap.

Tell Adelaide to go to hell if they ask for more.

This of course assumes Lever wants to come here and never play finals ever again.

There's smoke here from my cheroot but no fire left in the belly....pick 10 and Watts to Brisbane for pick 1 and we get that gun ... Rayner.

Frost and Stretch to Adelaide for Lever

Next years first rounder and Spencer to Giants for Kelly

Can we open the Trade and Draft board yet?

Here's my thoughts on realistic options that IMO would improve us.

- Trade pick 10 for Lever.

- We try to get Zaharakis as a free agent. He costs us nothing pick-wise. He's had a great year and might win the Essendon BnF for the second time. He provides run, skill and another goal scoring option. He still has 3-4 years left in him so would be useful.

- Shop both Tyson and Salem around for first round picks. If we can get a late first round pick for either of them I would take it. Tyson can accumulate but is wasteful. Salem has skill but just can't string it together and got himself suspended twice this year for being stupid and reckless.

- If Frost wants to leave as rumoured, he either goes as part of the trade with Adelaide for Lever OR we package him with the 1st round pick we get for either Tyson or Salem and try to upgrade that first round pick (with maybe some late picks being shuffled in our favour). He would have value to some clubs who need key defenders in a hurry such as Collingwood, Freo, Saints, Hawks, Brisbane etc. 

- We then take a decent first round pick to the draft to try and find a good classy quick hard running midfielder in the Kelly/Shiel mould OR trade it for a good midfielder who becomes available. 

So end result is to lose Frost and either Tyson or Salem
We gain Lever.
We either gain a good established mid or draft one of the best young mids we can get our hands on.
We gain Zaharakis.

Those changes make us better IMO.

Adelaide played it well vs Weagles to ensure they got a higher pick for Lever...

Don't want Lever if it is on 900k as has been reported. Would prefer to take pick 10 to the draft.

Lochie O'brien would be my pick at 10 despite his reportedly disappointing season. Is a good kick of the football and moves nicely.

 

Other players that I'd imagine would be in the discussion would be Hunter Clark (very clean hands and a nice mover, but an inconsistent kick) and Jaidyn Stephenson (I can't make my mind up about him but has had some big games).

 

It must be said, Taylor's record with pick 9 isn't the greatest, so in that regard I wouldn't be that unhappy to trade the pick.

Hard to see pick 10 being enough.

You're probably right, but they may have their eye on a player available around 10...

No club would want a player from our list, maybe the filth? They can go and join those other two spuds over there.

If pick 10 isn't enough then we look for some one else. Pick 10 is more then enough for Lever.

I cannot see anyone giving a first round pick for a couple of demon also rans.

Omg, these posts should be banned. Watts/Frost/Spencer and Stretch are all fringe players. A bunch of fringe players doesn't accumulate value!!!  "Oh, how about we go Watts, Frost, Spencer and Stretch for Josh Kelly?  Seriously, what are you smoking! 

Apologies if you are 10 years old.

How about TMac for Lever. We get a quality backman and Tom will give us a minimum of 2 goals from turnovers each time we play Adelaide. We win in the forward half and win in the back half with one trade.

Really hoping we take pick 10 to the draft. Lochie obrien should definitely be there and looks a player, think that Stephenson will be gone early, around 7.  Would love for Higgins to slip our way, Jeffry would surely love some competition/company as roving forward up there and Higgins has some quality tricks. Can run quality mid rotations as well. Quite happy with Obrien on a wing if we can't steal Higgins, but I wouldn't really love some added firepower close to goals. Just a bit of future planning.

You assume:

1 Lever wants to join us

2 Adelaide would relinquish him for pick 10

3 Zaharakis would want to leave a finals playing team to come to one that isn't up to getting there

I'd consider Aaron hall who I think In a better side with some real development coaches could be a seriously good outside mid. 

Hed probably cost us our second rounder which is happily part with to land him. 

We clearly lack a key back, and speed and kicking skills through the middle
