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.

Unlikely bridge. Afl are soft when it comes to their two “children”  (Giants and Suns).

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.

Which news (what channel)? I’d like to watch it!

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.
