[Roost it far 8,053]

Peatling for a future pick and  then use pick 5/6 on another midfielder sounds like a good start

Spargo needs to step into ANB’s shoes over summer.

Chandler is a better option. We need a goal kicking HFF.

We currently hold pick 6 thanks to Gold Coast.

Keep it dees and get a 12 year gun midfielder.

Tim Lamb and Alan Richardson are both recipe for disaster for this footy club.

And if next years pick is a 15-18 after we swapped it for Houston and drafted a gun mid with pick 5/6 this year, would it be such a big disaster?

Long road ahead if we’ve got people like Alan Richardson and Tim Lamb contributing to these decisions. 

I think for Richardson to say this he must be confident that they can get some deals done with mature player they are currently in discussions with.

It won't happen. Port want two first round picks including this year.

That's there starting point.

Exactly. We've been trading out our future first most years for the better part of a decade. This time it could be for an established best 22 player.

Given the depth of this years draft pool, it makes absolute sense to me to trade our future first for a quality player like Houston or someone as equally likely to be best 22 and an upgrade on what we have. Then take pick 5/6 to the draft (if we haven't split it) and still bring in a couple more kids with 2nd and 3rd rounders. What's not to like?

There's risk involved, sure. But I'd rather upgrade our list as best we can with established talent and simultaneously bring in another 2-3 kids.

Negotiate with the Tiges then……

They don’t have genuine motivation to trade Houston, so won’t unless their high price is met. 

The market isn’t really moving to meet that price, so unless someone else budges, Houston’s staying at Port.

I'm open minding on future pick trading as long as we take a first and second round pick to the draft this year to keep adding young talent

With that being said, they better be very confident re Oliver & Trac's 2025 prospects if we do trade out of 25'

I think a lot of it is probably due to their projections on where Kalani White and Ah-Mu will be bid on

Agree, is there anything to suggest either are anything more than later picks at this stage?

If the Saints beat Carlton we'll have pick 5.

What if it ends up being a top 5 pick for Houston?

With Ashcroft and the GC academy kid, that pick will be 7. Josh a battle compo could make it 8

A Josh Battle comp pick doesn't effect us if we have P5 and the saints have P6 (and then 7)

You’re assuming the Saints beat Carlton. They won’t, because they are St Kilda
