So who do you think was our preferred target last year?

I reckon plan A was to have Windsor sneak through and grab Curtin/Caddy first.

Plan B was Windsor at 7, hope 2 others (Wilson, ?) went and then have one of the talls in Caddy/Curtin/O’Sullivan get through.

Not that I’m unhappy with Kolt or that he wouldn’t have been part of the plan to go up and secure someone higher up. But he wasn’t the optimal result.

It’s obviously better when you have situation like Rivers in 2019 fall to your pick and you get the win of the player without spending more draft capital.

I still disagree unless you can provide a factual source for this assertion?

Trade period hasn't even started, so I would find it hard to believe we walked away from negotiations before they had even begun. I've not seen the 'we didn't want to pay pick 5' argument anywhere other than from a couple of posters on Demonland, so, no slight on yourself of course, but that makes it even harder to believe.

Even harder to believe is a sports management company, who presumably manage multiple Demons, would do such as a thing as you have accused them of when their relationships with clubs are critical to their business.

Hi FFD, just curious but would you happen be the artist formally known as Lord Nev?

I think if we were to pull this off I could see us zoning in on Cooper Hynes with this pick.

Hope so. Jagga Smith and Cooper Hynes with Rivers, Kozzy, McVee and Kolt would transform our midfield.

Say we end up doing the trade, that would leave us with 5, 15, 45 and 61.

45 for Daniel? Or perhaps future 3rd?

61 for Derksen?

Daniel who? Surely not Caleb Daniel from WB.

I will cancel the membership if this is correct weight.

I was just hazarding a guess as to trades with players we've been linked to.

Speculation was that Daniel could make his way here by some in the media, previous trades for older fringe 22 players have been 3rd rounders (current or future).. I.e Billings, Hunter. Daniel fits that bill and is contracted so didn't think pick 45 was too far out of range of a possible trade scenario

@adonski stated that he is likely to stay at the dogs now anyway, not sure on source.

That's fine. Believe what you want.

A poster I trust already confirmed what I've said on the same pages of Demonland a few days ago.

That's fair enough. I don't mean to argue with you, and can completely understand your side in that case.

If they have the same agent he would have known Tracc’s gripes, so how would Houston have been an absolute lock?

Also now the Tracc situation has seemingly settled, so why isn’t he still an absolute lock?

It is to do with pick 5 I believe.

I can understand those points, you make total sense there and I would only be guessing in terms of providing answers.

In saying that, I don't believe it's all seemingly settled. Christian not being traded and Christian being happy and settled are different things in my view.

I think we should definitely be aiming for this, particularly when Brisbane needs points for Marshall too, but I just can’t see how we can compete with Richmond.

I did a quick breakdown of the picks they hold yesterday and it is obscene how many picks they have. Currently 1, 21, 29, 39, 41, 47, 57, 66, 72, 75.
This is before you even factor in 1st rounders coming in for Baker, Bolton, Rioli & Graham (more likely 2nd). Surely they’ll try to trade some for futures, but will likely keep the majority this year for such a reputed deep draft.

By my reckoning, they’ll have minimum 5x top 30 picks. And they’ll be targeting any club that has an academy or FS candidate.

Brisbane would only be using us to inflate the cost for Richmond, we can’t compete & they can’t possibly keep all of those picks.

Ah yes, this does make sense now. A couple of posters have made similar confusing comments and I had no idea where it was coming from. I have read Demonland for quite some time, but have only recently started attempting to contribute. First time, long time, as they say. It's certainly more feisty interacting here than I anticipated, even after being reasonably familiar with the site alread.

IMO Petracca isn’t happy, no matter what  anyone thinks, as he wanted to leave and at this stage it looks like not happening.

He might be accepting of the current situation, as he really has very little choice atm, if he wants to continue as an AFL player.

The situation might change at trade time this year or next year, who knows and if he stays and we are successful next year and he feels vindicated he may stay and then be happy.

He’s not happy because he almost died & hasn’t been able to train/play to move on from that. He will with time.

Tigers will need their best picks as they finished last and are losing good players.

Right... I don’t get your point.

Tigers will use their early picks & have no use for their plethora of late picks, so will happily package them for more early picks. And they’ll have more than us.

I was only commenting on your post about the obscene number of picks Tigers have, I meant they will need all the high picks they can get.

I think we agree with each other though.

Without a doubt.

I can't see Hynes slipping to mid 20s, if we land a pick from 15-20 I think it's gotta be him. Could be like getting Sam Lalor in a 20% off sale.

Scary the number of high picks they'll have in what's reported to be a deep draft. Who's their list manager? Wouldn't want to [censored] this draft up tigers. No pressure!!!

[spirit of norm smith 15,244]

Tigers are in the box seat but will give up a lot of seasoned players.  They’ll go young. Three steps back.  Odds on 2025 wooden spooners too.  Lions are all laughing … screw the other clubs to get points.  Then pickup guaranteed two of the very best players in the draft.  FFS.

Fair play, and thanks for responding. Was just curious so thought I’d ask. Happy posting!

Thanks very much! I'm hoping we have a busy trade and draft period and it's a struggle to keep up.
