Pick 2 for HIll would be a massive stretch, maybe pick 2 and our 3rd for Hill, Langdon and their first (pick 7)? Was that how it was put?

Healy just wanted to know if we would be using out first round pick or trading it I think. Doubt he was thinking he'd get a specific answer, just I think testing the waters on our attitude to trade week. Seeing if Mahoney would let something slip. Of course, he gave them nothing but ?shade

I spoke to a mate who has a fair bit to do with young Anderson and he said under no circumstances should we trade pick 2. said we will regret it bigtime even if we managed to sign Brad hill or someone of that sort. I wonder if we could role the dice on our 2020 first rounder and a later pick and try and land Hill and Langdon

I don’t think we will get Anderson anyway.  I think GC will get the 1st 2 picks in the draft.

I seriously doubt it. i think they'll get their first pick, an end of first round pick and some other help. i don't think the AFL will like the precedent it'll set to give them that pick.

Dees without doubt need to keep Pick 2.

I know the club is into I think it’s 4th year of a 5 year plan to win a premiership. But trading away an Anderson is beyond stupid. Aka Josh Kelly trade...

Trade a senior player or two and 2nd round pick for Langdon and Hill if we are chasing both. I believe Freo will ask for Brayshaw...

As if the AFL follows precedents and not media spun whims. The whole Pick 1&2 GCS issue has arisen solely because Tiny Cochring brought up player retention and the friendship of those two picks with the Media then promoting it. it's up to the other clubs to kick up a stink to prevent it, not trust in the AFL

And i've got no doubt they already are. i really think they should consider the Mini draft as a solution instead of impacting the 2019 draft. so essentially they get to pick 3 talents from the 2020 pool and offer them up a year early in exchange for a trade. i think that'd net the Gold coast suns at the least 3 very good draft selections in addition to their current one and wouldn't compromise the 2019 draft.

No source. Just dreaming like we all are.

The only way I can see gc17 not being given a pointy end priority pick is if they somehow win two of their remaining four games

AFL will do everything in their power to give them a massive leg up

Could be jumping at shadows there; GC manipulating the media to get some kind of assistance, (maybe end of first round, PP), but pick 2 after their large haul of talent last year seems way too rich.

When things are glum there’s worse to come

Pick 2 has to be off the table as we can’t pass on the opportunity of a pick at the pointy end of the draft.

Don’t mind the idea of our 2020 1st rounder being on the table though.

Drop a 2020 1st rounder on the table and back ourselves to climb while hoping we nab Anderson. Thing is our trade period is going to come down to what happens at the Suns. Do the Suns want Anderson or Rowell? Do the AFL want to give the Suns picks 1 and 2 or 1 and 19. Either way that changes our plans on trades. We are, as of right now could be trading pick 20 for Langdon and Freo want a first for Hill. Only way i see it happening is if we trade a future 1st round pick but i doubt Freo bite. However, it is freo and they like shooting themselves in the foot more than we do.

Brad Hill is everything we are looking for and is now in his prime. 

If they give up pick 2 for pick 7 and get Hill I would do it in a heart beat.

There are no guarantees with Anderson and if GC take him, then we don’t need another inside mid like Rowell 

What ever happens one thing is for sure we will screw pic 2 up. 

Its them Melb way.

Here's a question. What if TMac were to say if you get rid of O, I'm out as well?

Must keep pick 2 at all costs. i'd be offering our 2020 first round pick and our 2019 second round pick for Hill and Langdon, and a later pick or something like that. and bank on us not finishing down the bottom again. 

if we can add in Hill, Langdon and Anderson i think we are in a good spot, especially if we look at maybe a Dan Butler for some forward pressure and a key forward, even a short term solution to support Tommy
