What about rookie spots? Aren't they all included in the same list now? (Can't remember what the exact changes were) Smith and Walker gone as far as rookies go.

Seems to be a bit like the re-signing batch we had where they did it over time but then put out the one announcement later on. Weird way to do it, but from what I've seen most (if not all) clubs have taken down their staff pages from their websites so maybe there's some new procedure or some other reason behind the scenes.

Yeah, my post wasn't very clear I realized afterwards. Camporeale was the one I was talking about in an assistant coach capacity. He might not have come on, but I seem to remember a few years ago he was all the rage.

My maths came out pretty different (as above in the post you replied to), and I guess it's a wait and see with ladder positions, but I genuinely appreciate that you went and did all that! Love a bit of draft calculator action!

Not really correct. As it stands over the whole trade period, we're down approx. 400 points, which is about pick 40.

Feels like this is how we roll most years. We get our targeted deals done about 3/4s of the way through and then sit back and see if anything else comes up for us. Most times is seems like that's it, but never know. Gut feel is we'll do the pick 3 split, but might not get anymore player trades done.

To be air though, Camporeale was senior assistant which is a position you would think their new senior coach would want to choose himself. Likely more assistants will be cut too once the new coach starts appointing their own people.

Ed Langdon has been traded to Melbourne as five picks change hands. Pick 22, 79 and a future second round selection will head to the Dockers, while pick 26 and a future fourth round selection head to Melbourne along with Langdon.

Fair enough mate, can agree with that logic, I'm holding fire for the Langdon deal, but just disappointed we didn't squeeze out more value from him.

That doesn't mean we couldn't have got more value from this trade though. It's not worked out as Frost for Langdon. Points wise (I know, I know) we've given Frost away for pick 50 (based on estimated draft order for 2020).

Yep, fair mate. I can only hope he does, but wouldn't count on it, think he just wants his old mate at the Dees!

Wasn't asking for that much from what I heard. And that's cancelled out by Langdon anyway.

I know not everyone is into the points like me, but with rough estimates of future picks etc this works out to us giving up Frost for pick 50.

Yeah sorry, should have made it clearer in my post that Camporeale was the only one I would consider. Burton is absolutely hated by Adelaide fans.

Freo wanted pick 6, a future first rounder and a third rounder for him. Can't see him being traded for pick 3, and not sure we have the 900k to lure him to us anyway.

Burton and Camporeale leaving the Crows. Any interest? Might be remembering wrong, but seem to recall Camporeale being highly rated at one point?

Fair enough, and I might be influenced by a Dees supporting mate who played with him and keeps bringing him up.

Yep, no talk we're linked to him or he's looking to leave, just putting the idea out there, tried to make that clear in the OP, but maybe not enough for the rabid, cranky Demonland faithful who are starting to turn on each other at a rapid rate.

Could play as an outisde mid for us, you agree we need outside mids yeah? Quick, good decision maker, left footer, runs all day, tackles and suits us at 21 years old. I agree we really need small forwards, but it's not the only thing we need IMO.

Some reports that Zac Fisher was being chased heavily by the Dogs, with Carlton quickly turning them down. Could have been a hail Mary, but could also mean there's some kind of chance he's gettable. IMO would be perfect for us. Is it worth us having a big crack at him? He's contracted for another 2 seasons so would have to be enticed.

Thanks mate, wasn't sure how that worked when someone has already been delisted.

Mate, didn't know a lot about Bobby Hill when you posted about this so went and did some research, he looks sensational! Seems to have gone under the radar so far maybe? Good pickup.

This thread wasn't started as a "Brayshaw to Fremantle" thread mate, and not sure where I said he was being traded there in my post anyway?

Reports coming out that Simon Garlick wil be appointed Freo CEO. That whole thing likely wouldn't have any effect either way anyway, but can just imagine the panic if Brayshaw Snr had got the job.
