Rumour only file ...

We've turned 25, 68 and 69 into 18 and 19, at a cost of having to slide back from our 2021 first rounder to Brisbane's 2021 second rounder.

At worst, that's a slide back of 35 draft spots. At best that's a slide of 1 spot.

We'll be backing ourselves in to do well next year but Brisbane will too, which means in all likelihood we're sliding back 10-20 spots next year.

Is that worth it to get 18 and 19 in this year's draft? Maybe we have a plan to use 18 and 19. 

[Mickey 4,685]

So we effectively split our future first in to 18 and 19, and swap 25 and some trash for a future second (Could be 30-36 ish).

I don't mind it. Could backfire, but at least we are being bold

[Adam The God 30,273]

I would assume we're now going to give 2 late first rounders for 1 top 10 pick...

[Ted Lasso 19,521]

I reckon we've got 1 more trade in us with those picks.. 

 

[JTR 2,846]

What have the Dogs offered for Treloar? 2nd or 3rd round with them paying max $600k per season?

Could we do a 'Mitch Clarke' and one up them at 11th hour?  ?

[Wells 11 5,406]

do we package up 18 and 19 for a pick in the top 10 maybe?

Craefishing maybe...?

[Nascent 9,217]

Not sure what we're up to but I like it. Don't think we're done yet either, we now have 18, 19 and 28 and 50 in this years draft and we're only missing a first round from next year which we can always trade back into.

The good thing about getting this done early is we have more control over our destiny. For an example, if we waited Essendon might have tempted Brisbane with either pick 7 or 8 and the split assets might have been used elsewhere to get other deals done. Now clubs can come to us to negotiate.

Which we can always split draft night if our guy looks like sliding e.g last year.

I'm loving our pick trading. We never have a future first, but get back into drafts by trading futures.

[Dee-licious 1,953]

If you package 19 and 28 that is worth the same amount of points as pick 7 - so for those who need more points, we are very attractive right now.

Rather the two late picks 

[CHF 2,743]

I think there is one more player trade to be done in the next hour.

50/50 in my book.

I'm hearing 18 and 19 for Josh Dunkley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[olisik 4,060]

19+ 28 for 14

 

Take 14 and 18 to the draft 

[deebug 1,754]

Wow JM has smashed it this year?

[Ted Lasso 19,521]

18,19 and Tmac to the Bombers for pick 8.... let them throw a couple of picks at Dunkley

I think so too. Otherwise why do this now rather than on draft night?

This amazing, ?

[Jaded No More 68,966]

Love it. Bold. Gutsy. Bet 18 and 19 won’t be here long.

Phillips? 

God, I hope not with any of those picks.

[Dee-licious 1,953]

Just checked the NGA / Father sons. There probably arent that many in the top 20 that will be NGA father sons - maybe 5? So there arent a lot of people that we can trade with to get up the order. It is really only Dogs, unless someone wants to move back. 

Mahoney said that there is likely to be people that different clubs rate because of the weird year that end up dropping a little lower - so plenty of options for us on the board.
