Problem is Adelaide. Their picks 19, 22, 25 = 2549 points.

Might come down to which club is willing to offer futures.

Gold Coast cleaning up with elite talent and future picks.

I think Adelaide will try and nab Geelong's Pick 7, if so then we should be in a position to land Pick 10.

Guess this thread can be closed.

Depending how good Croft is its not a bad trade for both parties.

Gut feeling is that we get hold of pick 4 and then try and trade up with 4 & 5

And then draft 2 topline midfielders with excellent disposal skills ... let the 2 draftees learn from the best (Petracca, Oliver, Viney & Brayshaw) We need to look to the future and we may not get another chance at the top end of the draft for quite some time

Petracca can play forward, and Brayshaw can play shallow back (defensive midfielder) Viney & Oliver being the 2 main extractors

Forward flankers can be attacking midfielders (Petracca & ?) whilst back flankers can be defensive midfielders with an attacking mindset (Salem, Rivers - maybe Sparrow)

Our 2 wingmen will likely stay as they are but Brayshaw could fill the role as a wingman with aplomb as he has done previously

Not sure how we beat the Dogs offer of Picks 10, 17 and Future 1st?

Im hoping the Cats will need more talent and will want to split Pick 7 as they have no other picks:

Geelong open to moving on top draft pick: AFL trade news - AFL News - Zero Hanger

As we will end up with a few this could be a possible outcome.

Will be a future pick as Brisbane need to start banking points for the younger Ashcroft who is tipped to be pick 1 next year 

There's another one??

Spoke to a Brisbane mate who thinks he is not that bad. Was their best ruck option behind Big O.

Oh FFS what a crock. Media whipping anything about Melbourne into a frenzy of codswallop

Unfortunately when there holding the gun and we provide the ammunition its a recipe for a Media frenzy.

Seems like a nice bloke too if that helps

FMD the [censored] they come up with:

Rivals weigh up move for Dees superstar

CLUBS are weighing up whether to make a play for Melbourne superstar Clayton Oliver in this year's trade period. Oliver signed a massive seven-year contract in the middle of last year through to the end of 2030, but had a challenging year. He played 15 games but missed 10 weeks with a hamstring injury.

Rival clubs are considering the cost of a trade attempt for Oliver, a four-time best-and-fairest winner with the Demons. It is unclear if the brilliant midfielder would be open to any move and there has been no indication Melbourne would be willing to part with him. – Riley Beveridge, Cal Twomey

Rather listen to at the 3rd stroke it will be 10:25 than a bunch of nupties making up nonsense.

Just embarrassing…

For a bunch of 70 year olds there doing ok. Much better than Meatloaf.

Kate Hore has sublime skills, would give most men a run for their money. And always good to get a win at the dunghole of a place.

You’ll be walking.

Frawley is the only vague comparison and the situation at that stage was insane. In no way comparable.

Yes, we both lost a n1 draft recruit. But we then went through years of drafts that were extremely compromised. They’ve had top selections that are making an impact already.

Frawley was a high draft selection (12) and was AA, etc…

Then add to all this, he went to a powerhouse premiership team. That was the BIG PR problem.

AFL House desperately needed to rebalance. And even then, it was all a stretch.

Chris Scott is doing the good work at speaking out. Can’t stand him usually but suddenly he’s a genius.

No chance of p3 for McKay. No way.

As it stands are first two picks will be 6 and 18 once agency, F/S and F/A picks are included:

1 WCE

2 GCS - Walter

3 NM

4 NM - McKay

5 HAW

6 MEL

8 GWS

9 GEE

10 GCS - Read

11 ESS

12 ADE

13 GCS - Rogers

14 WB - Croft

15 WB

16 SYD

17 STK

18 MEL

19 HAW - McCabe

20 NM

21 GWS

22 CAR

23 WB

24 COL

25 NM - PRIORITY

How AFL rivals plan to exploit trade loophole

Fox Footy from Fox Sports

Essendon and St Kilda are concocting a bold, never before seen trade/free agency play that has two stars at the centre of the move.

Essendon and St Kilda are reportedly in negotiations that could see the Bombers land an extra first round pick at this year’s draft.

According to The Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph, the clubs’ experienced list bosses Adrian Dodoro and Stephen Silvagni are concocting a trade and free agency ploy that could see an extra first round pick get created through free-agency compensation for St Kilda free agent Jade Gresham.

The pick would then get handed back to the Bombers in a trade for midfielder Dylan Shiel.

The Bombers are in the box seat to secure St Kilda mid-forward Jade Gresham as a restricted free agent, along with North Melbourne defender Ben McKay, who has already nominated the Dons as his nominated destination as a restricted free agent.

In essence, the Bombers would pay Gresham enough to trigger band one compensation – a first-round draft pick after the Saints’ first pick (currently 12) or an end-of-first-round pick (19 before other compo picks and Academy bids move it back).

That pick would then be traded back to Essendon in a deal that would see Dylan Shiel land at St Kilda, in a move that would bolster the Saints engine room.

The rationale behind the deal would be Essendon clearing Shiel’s remaining salary off their books for the final year of his contract, to increase some flexibility in their salary cap, to help bring in their two free-agent targets.

It has the benefit for Essendon of handing them a handy draft pick, while turning Shiel into McKay. At St Kilda, it means they effectively swap Gresham (who they don’t really want at this point) for Shiel.

I don't think North will get 3 for McKay. The (AFL) media have done their level best to sell him as a first-round draft pick.

I will walk to China if it does not happen.

Can only hope North does not get Pick 4 otherwise there will be some serious outrage, but the AFL won't care.

I'm sure the boys at Sportbet will be liking there chops this morning, very few would have predicted Lochie Neale.

Would be nice to have coaches/captains do the voting but there is no chance of that happening.

They should have moved to Gold Coast when they had the chance, would have been a good long term option.

It also means they could pick up Gold Coasts Pick 4 and thus Picks 2,3 and 4 once Mckay leaves.  Absolute joke and feel for other clubs trying to rebuild.

Very glad I was there to see it, but need one more at the G for the MFC's to be permanently removed.
