Yep, that seems to be the case.  I think it would be a straight swap for their future 1st round.  In fairness that would more than likely be a top 3 pick.

Nth don’t rate Curtin and Dogs won’t take another tall.  

5 becomes 6 or 7 with academy picks. It's still a bit of a gamble to assume WC are as bad next year as they were this year. Some more luck with injuries and 11 games at Optus...

I have heard that WC might be after our pick 5.  

Presumably they think Curtain will be available there.

Would we be willing to trade it for their future first plus something, and use 13 and an early second to get 10 from GC or 7 from Geelong?

I don't buy it. Poisoned by the filth for his BnF chat, more like

He's a Fwd/ Ruck, from all reports. Seems like he averaged about 5 hit outs a game in the VFL (according to Twitter)

Assuming Oliver stays the process has been interesting in looking at how clubs value draft picks over proven players.

No matter how you look at it Oliver is in the top fifteen of present players and at 26 has another say 7 years to give.

The fact that presumably neither Eagles or North were willing to float picks 1 or 2 plus a sweetener intrigues me.

The same happened last year with Jackson where we got 2 pick 13's (by a fluke the future 13 morphed into 5) for a pick 3 proven key position player.

To the uninitiated the market seems skewed and if that be the market compensatory draft picks, Academy and father-son picks are incredibly valuable

It's amazing compared to other sports. High NHL draft picks are traded like there's no tomorrow

I would’ve thought Bombers.

confirmed. ”Ms Allan says she's an Essendon fan but will be supporting Collingwood on Saturday, because they're the Victorian team” - abc

But clearly not that strongly. If she was a die hard Bomber she'd be barracking for Brisbane

As good as it would have been for Trac to win, you've gotta feel for the Bont. Seriously dudded twice

Neale's got it. The worst Browlow win since?

Makes sense but I’m not sure. It says those two picks can be “reviewed next year.” Makes me think they won’t be able to trade them this trade period. 

Hawthorn have obviously planned to be as physical as possible, and the Dees have held up well. But they have run over the marl to push our players multiple times, and the umps just watch them do it. You could see us getting frustrated and starting tk through our weight around.

Interesting that he’s the only one posting….

Steven May did too, but not nearly as much

They may not have had Mad Monday but they are definitely having Wacky Wednesday if Grundy's instagram stories are anything to go by

Our mids being smashed

Duty of care before he launched. 

This is the issue and where I think the AFL has stuffed up. Allowing the 'he had a right to launch' argument gives Collingwood exactly what they need. He did not have a right to contest the ball in that way, just as players don't have the right to tackle with a slinging action or bump in a way that hits a player high.

Maynard being suspended won't kill the spoil, like some are claiming. But it will stop people like Maynard acting like a human cannonball

Live pictures of Maynard's testimony

Seems a few of the Dees weren't too pleased with Maynard's visit

Has anyone heard anything about Max’s foot? Some wild rumours on FB.

Not sure about Max's foot but Clarry has a compression bandage on his left knee in a photo on Instagram (featuring future father daughter Tilly Smith)

Turner got swung forward today and did very well supposedly 

Oh, this is interesting. He's too slight to be a key back at the moment, but he has a lot of mongrel, reads the play pretty well and has good hands.

JJ needs to come in next week

The thing we do have going for us is our match fitness (bar injuries, obviously). We are the fittest team still in it, so if we get throught the SF and PF, I wouldn't be concerned coming up against a Collibgwood who's had an extra week's break

He wont get suspended for the bump on brayshaw. You have NFI. The guy jumped in the air, then turned his body and bump a defenceless Bradshaw. Will be lucky to only get 3 weeks 

The second part of my response was directed at the headbutt, but no I don't think he'll be suspended for the Brayshaw hit either. Whether he should or not is a different question. I don't think he will

Thid is desd set embarrassing 

 

The expected score is going to be ugly.

But if we take the British view of the game, we won the moral victory! See you in the moral Prelim, ya losers 

JVR's elbow has probably saved TMac. Bring Grundy in, play him 80% ruck and put Max forward.

We're out of options.

He might get a week for the head butt on viney not a good look 

He won't get suspended for either. He's not missing a prelim for that

Jumping the gun a bit. Should be SF, not PF.

TMac and Hibbo out. Grundy and Tommo in. Tommo isn't great, but we need to get the three talls down back
