No chance. GC aren’t looking for a win-win. They’re looking to make a statement, that players won’t be allowed to just leave each year, even if it means cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Similar to Port with nick stevens.

you're probably right, i just think it's foolish on their part.

    Yes and no. Gotta make a stand at some point. Otherwise install a revolving door.

    I think they'd be much better off addressing the problems they have before they make a stand. King imo is going to leave this year, or next year, and with pick 3 on the table they might as well get max value and hope the off field changes enable them to keep their top 3 picks

    What if, by chance, GCS don't get picks 1 & 2.

    Would you trade 2 for King?

    Anderson and Rowell are tantalising.

    I guess we'll cross that bridge if we come to it.

    Ok then, so we can't speculate on a footy forum? Righto.

    How good is King?

    We still need midfield class if we are serious about competing. I understand scoring was an issue this year but I believe that can be addressed easier than our midfield problems.

    I'd still take King over Anderson, just, gotta go with the key forward.

    Fantasy trade/draft pick wish list V2, if Laird is not on the trade table.

    If P2: draft Anderson, Langdon (trading 2nd round), Tomlinson, Elliot:

    If P3: split picks, draft Stephens and Weightman, the rest as above.

    Either option has its positives.

    Just saw on the news that we've shown interest in Weightman as high as 2/3 potentially so if the club realistically thinks he might be there at pick 11 i think we'll do the split. because they'd get a bloke they wanted and another free hit at the draft, plus probably something else from the Giants as well.

    i think that's the real key

    the split pick could end up being worth pick 12 and pick 18 - all tbd at this point

    Here’s how I think this is going down.

    GC will get the priority pick and 2 becomes 3, not ideal but they probably need all the help they can get just now. Anderson is out of reach and so we do the following:

    Langdon for pick 21

    Tomlinson as FA

    option 1 (left field): We get Jamie Elliot as FA and we take pick 3 to the draft for Young

    option 2: We trade 3 to GWS for 12 and 15 and go for players like Ash and Cody Weightman. 

    Why trade 3 for 12 and 15?

    Agree, if it's for picks, there's gonna need to be more than 12 & 15 coming back.

    Agree. That’s not the greatest deal.  Giants would jump at that.

    That's why the suggestion of Tomlinson's GWS compo pick is also thrown in the mix, meaning you get FA Tomlinson, picks 12 and 14 and Langdon for the compo pick. To me that is a good deal.

    More likely to be a player than the compo pick, GWS will need points for their academy kid who'll get an early bid. 3 for 13, 15 (of they lose tonight) and one of their young kids before they need a bigger contact extension over the next few years.

    I would be happy with Tomlinson FA, 12,  Langdon for the Tomlinson compo pick and a player from GWS, say Caldwell.

    That’d be a great result.

    I'd love Caldwell too, but he is very highly rated at the Giants and I just cannot see them trading him away after 1 year.

    I suppose it depends on how much they want 2/3.

    All could realistically happen except for the Caldwell part. He was pick 11 a year ago, and wouldn’t be part of any deal unless we added another first rounder. He looks like he could become a gun midfielder and I’d gladly give a first rounder for him if he was up for a move.

    Someone like Bonar might be a more realistic option to get added to the pick split trade if it happens.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
