Why do Giants need picks after 3 if we deal that pick to them (which I've taken you're implying here) Gold Coast for sure wont be placing a bid on Tom Green. Once they get to 3 they're in the box seat to land him. What I can't see is the Hawks giving up 11 which they'll use on McGinness. Despite that, the most logical scenario I can see is:

Hawthorn out: 11

GWS out: 6, Bonar, Patton

Melb out: 3, 26

Hawthorn in: Bonar, Patton, 26

GWS in: 3, 42

Melb in: 6, 11

Later pick swaps would have to come into it to balance it out, but at the base of it I reckon that's pretty fair

Hawthorn giving up far too much for a couple of late 2nd/3rd round pick types.

I could see the Hawks doing 11 and late picks for GWS' future first and Bonar/Patton instead of pick 26, but you don't go from 11 to 26 without something valuable thrown in. Bonar/Patton just aren't worth that level of drop.

I wouldn't be overly keen on 3 and 26 for 6,11 because I'm not sure in this draft if 11 and 26 are all that different. We'd have to get some upgrades to use 3rd and 4th picks if that's the case.

    As much as people keep saying "its such a deep draft that picks x,y,z in the 2nd round arent that different to 1st round picks" is a bit reductive. Clubs will have their intended draftees in mind to fill a certain position. A few others on here have said it much better, but if we're trading 3 to 6 and 11 we can afford to draft a player on a more needs basis (e.g. gun small forward) which may not be available come pick 26, rather than just grabbing the best player that could be superfluous to our current needs. I'd be more than happy to part with 26 in a deal that landed us 6 and 11 that got us some gun outside run and forward craft rather than another mid at pick 3 and a development player at 26.

    12 & 18 are worth more than 6, so GWS must be after our pick. Also, if they don’t have enough points for Green as well, they just loose points next year, & can still take Green & a player at 3

    Interesting point.

    I wonder if the AFL has considered what happens if GWS trade away their 2020 1st rounder this year - their 2020 2nd and 3rd rounders just get downgraded to 3rd & 4th rounders? Weak "penalty" they may be happy to live with.
    I'm sure GWS would tolerate a year in 2020 where they take the bare minimum of 3 late picks and essentially opt out of a weak draft. 

    Or do they have academy selections?

    Drafting for needs is dangerous at any spot. The most important objective with pick 3 is to get a high quality player regardless of position. If we can do that at pick 6 (and I think we can) then that’s good too, but pick 3 gives us more certainty. 

    11 is more likely to get a nice player than 26 but not by a huge margin. To take the risk at moving back from 3 I want certainty with the other half of the deal. 

    Yes we lack quality in the forward line but we are more than 1 or 2 kids away.

    As long as we are able to get Kemp and one of Serong/Flanders I would be happy.

    I would love to get involved in upgrading pick 26 slightly and think Gold Coast could use it in a number of trades. They are at an impass with both greenwood and Ahchee. We send picks 26 and 50 along with billy stretch who there has been some interest in for pick 20 and 58. 

    Hawks trade pick 11 and 42 for gws Patton, Bonar, and 2020 gws 1st round pick. 

    Hawks can then wait for a bid on McGuinness and match it and then trade back into the draft using that future first.

    Gws trade picks 6 and 11 for 3 and 58. 

    That is a cost discrepancy  in our favour of about pick 29. But they need pick 3 to make all their previous trades make sense. 

    We don’t have to trade and make it all perfectly equal. They benefit more out of having pick 3 than us. 

     

    We we will only use 3 picks anyway due to list spots. I imagine they keep the fourth until pre season of pick up a delisted free agent like Tory Dickson. 

    A pick haul of 6,11,20 - equals 3 of kemp, young, Stephens, weightman or Taylor. 

    Make it happen.

    I don't think you can lump HWSNBN into the same basket as Bonar who was drafted only 2 years ago and hasnt suffered a nearly career ending leg injury

    You mean like the two knee recos he's already had?

    Apologies then, were these as a junior though? I genuinely looked through all the recentnews stories around him and found nothing about acl damage.

    ACL's were pre-draft, he managed to get back from his second to play some decent TAC Cup footy.

    Impressed with his speed and power at draft combine and there have been no injury issues in his two years on the GWS list.

    Sounds like this article may allude to GWS' plans for pick 6, but I can't access it...

    Fluff piece.
    Says that Sydney & Adelaide are both very keen, having visited Green's home in Canberra.
    Landsburger is assuming Essendon wouldn't be interested and that might increase the chances of Green slipping past 6.
    Yeah, nah.

    Isn't Green exactly what Essendon need? An inside bull?

    There are too many AFL journalists with no idea...

    I thought the same thing myself.

    Any idea who Landsberger supports? Maybe hoping Green gets there!
    Otherwise, very confusing.

    I don't know if this has been floated before and can't be bothered reading 27 pages to find out. What would people think of Peter Wright and Jack Martin as a package? I have a feeling we need to use a first round pick this year, but if we sent picks 3 and 26 their way in exchange for Wright, Martin and 15?

    Not a fan. Both have been underachievers and looked a bit soft IMHO

    Both are just average and although Wright has upside, I would stick with 3.

    I can’t see GC trading him either after he re-committed.

    I would rather go to the draft with high picks, than trade in either of those two players. Plus the Suns would want to keep Wright, as they find it so hard to attract talent, especially with players of his age.

    Starting to think we won't split our pick and just head into the Draft with pick 3.

    I think any offer for the pick was always going to come late, but it is hard to see anyone being able to offer us something of interest.

    GWS have an issue in that if they were to give us Pick 6 and a player, they won't actually have enough mid range picks to match a bid of Green without going into deficit.

    I think we'll need to add later picks/swap this years later picks for next years to give them the points they need to match the Green bid. It won't be as simple as 3 for 6+whatever. It'll need to be more like 3+3rd round pick+4th round pick for 6+teen pick/player.

    GWS pretty much have to trade for pick 3 for their strategy to work for them, otherwise they wouldn’t have traded for pick 6. 

    I’d be surprised if they aren’t most of the way to negotiating a deal with us already, but no deal will probably happen until some of the other pieces have fallen into place and the available pieces for trade are known.

    Also worth noting that whilst player trades finish on Wednesday, picks can be traded up until Nov 22. And then again on draft night.

The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • 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?
