I believe Dogs need to use pick 14 and other picks for compensation payment on NGA Janara Ugle Hagen who probably goes pick 1 or 2.  
 

Lions have 18 and 19 so probably willing to give up 19 to get 26 and 31.  I think we are keen on getting Carroll or Macrae.  

They don’t have to use 14 but just need to ensure they have enough points for him.  They can trade pick 14 as long as they got more points back

    I reckon with all the first round picks GWS may be getting, that we might just be looking to improve pick 26 into the teens for Preuss, might take a few later pick swaps as well but that would be a good outcome

    Yes, good point that may well be our strategy. We may have an eye on a kid coming through  this draft.

    This is why there's disagreement.  I don't think Preuss belongs in this category, you obviously do.  For me, he's not a 22 game a year + finals ruckman.  He's a very handy 8-12 game a year ruckman.

    GWS has Pick 31, 44 and 52.  I would value Preuss at the Pick 40-50 range, so I'd be expecting their Pick 44.  If we can get 31, I'd be absolute surprised, but will happily take it from GWS.  

    If we're looking for points so we can trade up then 44 and 52 are worth about the same as 31.  GWS should be getting 3 firsts for Cameron and Caldwell, so maybe those and 31 is enough for this draft and they'll hand over 44 and 52 for Preuss and we can add them into the bucket for the Dogs 1st.

    Rip roaring deal for us.

    We got Preuss for Tyson and a pick in the 60s, and now we off load him two years later for pick 31.

    I think Mahoney has done things very well over the years. 
    They go in knowing what they want and they get the deal done.  Not looking to screw other clubs but being fair abs reasonable and not out there shooting his mouth off.

    I have to say I was wrong on this one. I thought a pick upgrade in to the 40's was about the best we could do.

    Pick 31 will blow out possibly even until 40+ come draft night and GWS have no use for later picks really, so we might've been helped there, but it's still more than I thought was worth.

    Feels like a good and reasonable deal for us, Preuss and GWS.

    Like Hannan, best of luck to Preuss.

    Would stocking up on next year's picks be a better option considering everyone on trade radio mention how compromised this draft is and next year's is very stong?

    That's North's fault.  When you pull an offer and tell him he's gone, it doesn't give you much bargaining power.

    • 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?
