hmmm... Sydney Bigfooty board mail looks to be right 

Smart business 

I guess that means we will only be using picks 25 and 28 in the draft 

Not that excited about this, but if it helps us get a first then all good :)

Think we will swap 25 and 28 to get deeper

Who are we after guys come on you can say?

 

request to change JMs job title to the professional pick swapper. i love what he's doing with this he's clearly one of very few who has their head fully around everything going on. if we get richo to actually assess the list and target needs and impress signees then we're gonna be laughing in the next few years

JM gets a lot of hate here but he's a smart operator I reckon and doing brilliantly this year. 

Given we only have to use one pick at the ND, is it possible we're looking to send 25 and 28 for a first rounder?

he does these types of things well but i think we're lacking in the ability to properly read where our lists at and whats on the market woulda loved another addition or two get creative, dont settle

Does that mean we traded pick 26 for Ben Brown but we kept pick 25?

I admit I am a little confused. ?

Where has this been reported?  I have clearly missed it.  TIA.

Wonder who we are after??

Say what you like about how crap we are on field, I think off field we are one of the best clubs at getting trades done and taking full advantage of the system. We are very clever at trading for picks and once a player makes his intentions clear we always get the trades done with minimal fuss.

I believe clubs really like to work with us, and that also helps enormously as we are not in the business of screwing everyone over.

Changed this year due to the list size reduction.

Ok thankyou. 

Do you know how many we can go for this year?

Absolutely Jaded, provides so much flexibility.

I'm happy to package these for Footscray's pick 14 but equally happy to use both picks in the draft  

How does 25 possibly equal 31 + 43? Should be closer to pick 20 under any metric. 

We are dead set kidding ourselves if taking two live picks in this draft is anywhere near enough.

I love that we traded pick 26 as part of the Brown deal, then traded to get a single pick ahead of that minutes later. Nice.

Haven't done all the maths of the ins and outs tbh, sorry!
