72. Collingwood
73. Essendon
74. Western Bulldogs

[DistrACTION Jackson 8,721]

So going off that scenario and assuming Gold Coast's academy player is a top 5 pick, I could see us doing the following:

Melbourne Trade

Pick 13 - 1,212 points

Pick 14 - 1,161 points

Pick 33 - 563 points

Gold Coast Trade

Pick 7 - 1,644 points

Pick 26 - 729 points

Future 2nd or 3rd round pick

That would give GC an extra 563 points and then we end up with pick 7, 26 & 32 for the 2023 draft.

[adonski 12,058]

Dees Pick: 1 & 18 presumably #deathride

[Elwood 3184 1,301]

Going a bit early, aren’t we?

[Fritta and Turner 4,403]

I think we should trade pick 24 for LJ and pick 23 provided they pay half his salary (and mum agrees)

[alpha33 311]

Wait till the Tassie team comes into the competition. Then you’ll see a real mess.

2027 at the earliest

which means the likeliest earliest draft that they'd have a discernible effect on would be the 2025

This is why it may be better if we use 4-5 picks this year to further bolster our list than go all in on getting the number 1 pick

[Older demon 2,741]

Thanks Whispering! The order may change but the impact on the points will still be in the same ball park. Our pick 8 & 15 is 2633 points which roughly is a bit more than pick 2 or 3 it may go down a little depending on Freoi

[Whispering_Jack 30,019]

The current draft order from Zero Hanger.

[RyanD 290]

If Kangers get a draft compensation for Ben McKay (800k salary = Pick 6), does that mean if we get squeezed back a selection this year? or would that apply to next year?

It would be this years draft. It is no different to when Frawley left and we ended up with Brayshaw.

[Deebauched 1,220]

According to Perth media Harley Reid was recently seen inspecting the Eagles training facility . Apparently he was ovet there with the Vic team and got BOG.

[drdrake 3,163]

Pick 15 and 24 straight to Gold Coast for pick 6, then decide whether pick 5 and 6 go to West Coast for 1 and 19, add in second round pick as well.

Gold Coast needs points not early picks.

Pick 1, 19 and Brown be a pretty good get

Put yourself in GC shoes and i reckon they'd want their current pick + the academies as a starting point so Pick 6 for 15,24 (even though they benefit in points) will be a hard sell, but it is the most logical. 

Taking 5,6 for 1,19 puts WC at a negative points wise. They'd do it for pick 1 alone, but we'd need to offer up another pick (34 wont cut it) for pick 19 coming back. 

The only spanner in the works is if they get pick 4 from Sydney for Barass. This can play both ways - if they get Pick 4 ( i personally dont think Barass is worth it), we lose all leverage and cant use Curtain as a negotiating tactic - assuming he is available at 5 as Norf are now lacking serious defensive KPD with McKay on the way out and Logue out for 2024 with an ACL. Will WC be happy with 1,4 (potentially getting Reid and Curtain) or will they be better placed going for 4,5,6 (still getting Curtain but possibly two other guns). Its easy for us to say the latter as they'll get an extra gun and we get Reid. For me they cant go wrong with either, but an extra player probably helps them rebound sooner. 

If we dont get Reid but end up with 5,6 all is not lost either. I just have a feeling that Reid will take the path of Rowell as opposed to Daicos so going all in for Reid is a bit risky. But what do i know.

[Colm 2,151]

Gold Coast will 100% trade their first round pick that will be anywhere from pick 4-10. Problem is we won’t be the only ones after it and others may value it higher and/or have Breyer hand to trade with. 
Take the dogs for instance they currently have picks 12 and 16. They also have a father son pick that’s rated late in the first round.  They could easily split their second and then go to the Suns with pick 12 plus another good pick that they get from splitting 16. 
 

GWS have 7 and 9 and good easily spit the second to have a strong hand to offer the Suns. 
 

Sydney is also one to watch, I expect them to rise up the ladder from their current position and they have a very good academy player of their own coming through that played very well over the weekend. They have Hawks 2nd and third round picks as well as their own. If their academy player( Cleary) end up being valued around the same as first pick then they will be keen to move up. 

[drdrake 3,163]

The clubs aren't going to let GC walk away with their Academy players and another top 6 pick.

I don't think the club will go after the no 1 pick, we have options to do so if they want to but I reckon we would be happy with 2 top 10 picks plus Brown later in the draft

[biggestred 5,076]

i wonder if wce would take a few picks for oscar allen....

No one is paying Ben McKay 800K

[Blistering 540]

So we can take it that Picks 5 and 24 are locked In because Freo are out of business for the rest of the year while Picks 15, 34 and 89 can fluctuate depending on what we do during the finals series.
