Interesting on Betts.... I wonder who his mate at the club is?

Garlett exit interview maybe?

Garlett? Maybe got the message a little late that he had been de-listed.

Why would Garlett be at the club today when he was delisted laat Monday??

I'd do 11, 13 and finlayson right now.

Yep. I’m hearing you

Can we share the love please? Article sounds interesting, providing it doesn’t mention we’re trading someone out.

Greatest Western Surplus is about right.

It won't be Bobby Hill. Zac Langdon is not Ed's brother either.

Would only really want Hately, Caldwell, Bonar or Finlayson of that list. Maybe Langdon or Dnaiels.

I wanted Finlayson last year

very underrated in my view

With this split-pick / GWS-surplus scenario are we better placed if GWS lose this weekend? Early picks obviously yes, but what of the rest of the equation?

If GWS and Essendon both lose then they end up with picks 11 & 12 (as it stands now - will both be pushed out a couple). If both win then they'll get 13 & 14 if they go onto lose the week after, if one or both win and then keep wining they worst case is 17 & 18 if they are both in the granny - very very unlikely. Short answer, slightly better off if both lose but only by a pick.

Unless they keep winning.

Thanks, I can comfortably cheer the Doggies on. However, even the thought of cheering on the druggies makes me feel bilious.

Part of my question, probably not articulated well enough, was the impact on the rumoured FA Compensation; what the AFL may give to GWS, and how GWS would seek to use it.

The compensation GWS might get for Tomlinson (who is their only FA worth anything), won't be a factor in anything we do anyway. The talk above that we'd trade pick 3 for GWS's 2 first round picks and the compo are just wrong, we'd likely get the 2 picks and a player. GWS still need picks to pay for their academy kid so they'll be hanging onto any compo pick they get. I think it'll end up either 2nd round or end of 2nd round, so pick 32/33 at the earliest (with the PP and academy picks) or could be up to pick 40. 

The good thing is there's an extra incentive to cheer against the druggies!
