It depends if we go for Haynes.

Although we haven't been linked to him it has been mentioned that GWS want to salary cap dump Haynes with pick 7 the lure.

I'd take Haynes and pick 7. Pick 6,7, 11, and a future first-rounder has to put us in the ballpark in getting Reid. B: McVee (rookie a), May, Lever HB: Rivers, Haynes, Bowey C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Reid F: Fritsch, Petty, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Sparrow, Neal-Bullen, McAdam SUB: Smith Casey B: K. Turner (rookie a), Tomlinson, Adams HB: Howes, D. Turner, K. Brown (rookie a) C: Woewodin, Laurie, Chandler HF: Smith, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield (rookie b) F: Jefferson, B. Brown, Schache FOLL: Fullerton, Spargo, Sestan (rookie a) IC: Melksham , Verall (rookie a), Farris-White (rookie b), Draft pick

Chances are we weren't gonna use the second round picks anyway. We only have 3 picks. We have really only given away picks 14 and 27 for pick 11. Not bad gives us a chance to grab Reid.

Will 6, 11 and a future first get the Reid deal through? Hope so would love him on our side.

What did GWS trade for pick 1 last year?

I'd rather have Billings than McAdam.

If we are after Billings does that mean K.Brown will be rookied?

It’s only 3 senior spots and 1 rookie that’s gonna be taken by draft picks absolute no to McLean we don’t need a solid Casey midfield our draft picks can cover that along with Howes, Laurie and Woewodin

He’s a list clogger we can’t afford to have Harmes or Grundy on the list because we won’t have the 2 picks we need they have to go. So when people say we have the upper hand we don’t because we can’t afford to hang on to them all because we won’t trade Tomlinson and we gave another year to Schache

We won't be getting pick 11 for him. pick 32 more likely.

I think we'll take pick 32 for him.

I think it will be more likely pick 46.

No not needed we will only have one or 2 draft picks then. Tomlinson and Schache as required players baffles me. Doesn't give us much to play with. McAdam for Jordon's pick and Fullerton for Harmes pick. Rookie Melksham. That leaves with Grundy's pick, pick 13, 26, 34 which we can package for pick for pick 10. In the draft we have picks 5 and 10 and K.Brown as a late pick and we'll have 1 rookie pick.

I put Moniz-Wakefield in the middle because we have too many small forwards. If I had my way I’d delist Schache and put Moniz-Wakefield forward pocket.

He should have kicked that goal against Carlton that was a bad miss.

How the hell has Essendon become a destination club? They were woeful at the end of the year. I hope we don't go with any 30-year-olds like Bruest, Hawkins, and so on. Invest in youth. If Mathieson comes to the club I might just give it away worst player I have seen. I don't mind McAdam if you think he is a better version of Chandler and Spargo. Fullarton isn't a bad idea as second ruck playing predominantly in the reserves. I thought Schache could do that not sure why he is still on our list. B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, D.Turner, Bowey C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, Petty, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Sparrow, McAdam, Smith SUB: Chandler EMERG: Spargo, Woewodin, Laurie Casey B: K.Turner, Adams, K.Brown HB: Howes, Tomlinson, Draft Pick C: Woewodin, Laurie, Draft Pick HF: Chandler, McDonald, Spargo F: Jefferson, B.Brown, Schache FOLL: Fullerton, Moniz-Wakefield, Draft Pick IC: Melksham, Sestan, Verrall, Farris-White That gives us 2 picks 5 and 13 and 1 rookie, unless they think K.Brown will be rookied then that's 3 picks 5, 13 and 24. Melksham will be rookied and D.Turner will go on the senior list.

Edwards the WA ruckman I thought we had pick 32?

Happy with this hopefully Dew replaces Stafford.

Keep up the good stuff Nudge. Dazzle is Dazzle he's harmless. Don't let him put you off posting.

I'm all for McKay it will allow Petty to go back. B: McVee, May, Lever HB: Rivers, Petty, Bowey C: Langdon, Oliver, Hunter HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch, McKay, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Brayshaw, Viney IC: Salem, Sparrow, McAdam, J.Smith SUB: Chandler Our time is now get it done dees

I think we should make our best 22 the best it could possibly be BACKLINE: McVee keeps his spot, May keeps his spot, Lever keeps his spot. Rivers keeps his spot, we have no CHB Tomlinson is useless and Turner has had limited opportunities that's a spot we should look to cover trade week or draft night. Salem needs to improve to keep his spot that's another position we should try to cover trade week or draft night. Bowey keeps his spot.Noble should be looked at IMO. Howes is depth ATS. MIDFIELD : Langdon needs to improve to keep his spot. Oliver keeps his spot, Hunter keeps his spot. Gawn keeps his spot, Brayshaw keeps his spot, Viney keeps his spot and Sparrow keeps his spot. We need another midfielder and I think Sanders will be our man. We should look at Hollands IMO. Woewodin is depth ATS. FORWARDS: Petracca keeps his spot, van Rooyen keeps his spot, Neal-Bullen keeps his spot. Fritsch keeps his spot, Petty keeps his spot and Pickett keeps his spot. J.Smith keeps his spot too. Spargo, Laurie and Chandler are depth ATS. We are looking at McAdam. CONCLUSION: I think we need a CHB, a half back, a wingman and midfielder and pray we don't get injuries to our best 22.

I would have a crack at Hollands. Looks the goods and with Harmes, Jordon and Dunstan gone he should get a game.

Yeah I was probably a bit harsh on Rivers, but I tried my best
