I feel like we’d need to outbid Carlton in order to sway him to be a Demon and given the reported $600-750k Carlton are offering, I’m not too sure how smart that is.
just remember guys that next years free agent class is STUDDED. Daniher, Jeremy Cameron, Whitefield, Zac Williams, Grundy and Robbie Gray off the top of my head
Regarding list spots, 3 alone wouldn’t get us the 2x top 15 picks we are looking for.
26 would need to be included, so our number of draft picks wouldn’t change
Next year is a weaker draft with a tonne of acandemy and f/s players
Given they'll likely be a top 4 team, the pick probably gets pushed out into the 20s.. no deal for me
Ian Hill just re-signed
We should get involved with 6 but not sure what else they can throw in that would satisfy. Be good if they got another pick inside 15 somehow.
Yep sorry realised that after I posted
Definitely would need to remain in the top 12ish in the draft is we're giving up pick 3 for Papley. Maybe Sydney split pick 5 with GWS and give us say Papley and 11 (GWS) for pick 3 and 40
Then maybe they trade pick 3 and a second rounder to Essendon for Daniher? Just a thought
They end up essentially trading Papley and pick 5 for Daniher and pick 18
I want Ash and Stephens. Getting involved in Daniher talks and securing 5 and 9 would land us both of them. Not sure how we get it done, we’d have to sacrifice several other picks going out as well
I feel like Mahoney's comments involve things that he wouldn't have said if he wasn't confident about Elliott
"We've got a 3-year deal in front of him", "we think we're a chance"
Just a hunch
So pretty much we're a lock to get Tomlinson and Langdon and are up in the air in terms of Elliott
We'll lose Frost and Stretch to Hawthorn and Gold Coast and delist JKH
Reading between the lines the right package could definitely entice us to shuffle pick 3
I'll have a ping at our best side...
B: Jetta - May - Lever
HB: Hore - Petty - Harmes
C Tomlinson - Viney - Langdon
HF: Melksham - Weideman - Hannan
FF: Fritsch - T.Mac - Elliott
FOLL: Gawn - Petracca - Oliver
INT: Ash (def) - Vandenberg (wing) - Salem (mid) - Brayshaw (mid)
EMG: Hibberd - Lockhart - Jones - Preuss
Have us drafting Ash at 3 and securing the 3 blokes we are linked to
Tomlinson to relieve Max in the ruck
