Some talk this has fizzled out now, will be a bit of a watch it seems.

Would be a shame if it doesn't happen, seemed like a useful move for us.

Why is that? Sharp said he was committed to joining us, and the Lions didn't seem to have any objection.

I have no idea of any detail, and please just take this as a bit of gossip from around the traps. I was the same as everyone else and expected this to be done no fuss.

Could we do 49 for Sharp, 60 and 66? Gives Brisbane another roughly 100pts

Or 49 for Sharp and 66, knowing 66 will come in substantially (10-15 places or so) when Brisbane, Essendon and GC match their academy picks?

Yeah, my initial reaction was that the Sharp deal could be 49 for Sharp & 66.

Gives Lions extra 200 points for Academy bids while leaves us with a third pick still.

Sharp effectively for pick 55 according to the calculators.

Love this. Really want us to get Sharp.
 

The deal could be MFC 49 for Sharp & BL 66.

[Nascent 8,880]

As others have said, I hope we angle for pick 66 and Sharp for 49.

Pick 66 may end up coming in by 10-15 selections and give us a late stab in the draft. 

[spirit of norm smith 15,686]

Any news? Heard this was progressing quickly on Friday morning.  I guess the bombers and crows pick swapping has taken the priority 

Sharp is the third player to potentially nominate the Dees now. 

1st … Houston … did he really nominate us? Well the media said he did, so that’s a given. But he’s yes, no , yes has brought out other suitors and MFC off limits   🤮

2nd… Derksen… nominated MFC, Dees very keen and it helps his career, his financials and his family. GWS lost too many players and had poured concrete over Derksen. FFS. 🤨🤨

Hope we can do this deal. He’s the type of player needed and type of trade (22yo, 4 years in system) that can come in straight away and still improve and improve

Perhaps they weren't Sharp enough.

Razor sharp wit as always DS

If we're after a draftee that could cut the opposition to shreds, I'd be looking at young Wiltshire.

5, 9, 49, 83 (apparently)

[Mickey 4,581]

Afl.com reporting we offered 49, Brisbane initially wanted more. Reckon it probably gets done but maybe nothing back our way

Ok, so, again: we will have as many ND picks as we need to fill the vacant slots in the list. ND83 ends up being like 71, ND104 ends up being 75 as clubs don’t utilise picks in the later rounds. 

We will not be left without the ability to take late picks should we want to. 

Some of you looking like sheep walking on their hind legs intimating the opposite.

If Brisbane demand more we could swap F3s. Brisbane should think that's in their favour.  Should be able to get done.

We already traded our future 3rd to Adelaide.

And got Essendon’s back, which is of similar value. Brisbane would back themselves to be 6-10 spots above Essendon next year, that’s a nice pick upgrade if we need to do it

Old mate Adam needs to stay on top of these pick trades.

[layzie 33,475]

If 49 gets it done for Sharp I'll be very happy.
