Maybe the pick and/or a player then. Or maybe GWS will trade picks with others. I still believe GWS will end up with our 3.

I think we’ll take pick 6 + (?) for 3, and take Weightman at 7. I just hope (?) is something decent. Would GWS’s future 1st rounder be enough, which we could try to on trade for another pick this year, in the lead up to the draft?

What is your opinion of him strictly as a small forward (as he is also a mid) vs Weightman playing forward (not really much of a mid)?

Or Serong, but he’s not as much of a specialist, goal kicking forward. If we keep 3, I think we take Serong though. Better player.

What I found interesting is he seemed to be saying no to a small forward in the trade period, but yes they would try in the draft. This makes me think we want to split the pick & draft Weightman.

I was thinking Daniels would be a good fit. But would we ask for more? Hill only just signed not long ago, so I doubt we would get him.

Yes, 12 & 18 are worth more, points wise, than 6. So you would assume GWS are trying to get our 3

We wouldn’t have known Hill might have been available when we signed Tomlinson, but he is versatile, so I think that would be ok. On trade radio they are saying we would need to use 3 only, I’m guessing because it’s such a high pick. I would argue say 700 would be money well spent, and look for a forward later. We haven’t heard mention of a decent forward wanting to come to us at the moment anyway.

I don’t think Freo would accept say just a 6 for Hill, but would accept 3. Also, I think if we could get 2 top 10 picks from GWS we would take them to the draft. I also think we do need both Hill & Langdon, one on each wing.

On trade radio, they were suggesting 3 & 22, for Hill & Langdon. Would be great having one on each wing.

They were suggesting on trade radio that 3 should get it done. We also have the Elliot money left over. Also, Bell seems the type to hold a grudge, so might want to deal with someone other than the saints to make a statement.

If we have the money, should we go all out for Hill with pick 3? He’s exactly the type of player we need.

https://7plus.com.au/seven-news-melbourne This is the link to the channel 7 news, where they talk about the potential swap. It's at about 35 mins in. Not much on the swap, but here it is anyway.

If true, they are calling our bluff, and saying we wouldn't take another inside mid. I would let GWS know that we would, out of principle alone. There is no way they will not bid on him, especially with the discount in points they get.

It was said today on Trade Radio that GWS were still looking to trade up for a better pick. I still believe that they are after pick 3, to get the extra pick first. I suspect they are trying to upgrade picks, that involve 18, to turn it into a top 10 pick, to go with 12, to offer us. I would expect that they would be talking to us, whilst doing this, to make sure we would take the deal.

Cody Weightman at Pick 28? Not so sure about that..

After Bell messing us around last year, I would offer them next years 2nd, & hold that position. It’s not how we operate though.

I agree about Serong. But yeah, we are looking to split. I think a realistic, best case scenario is getting Weightman & Stephens. It would immediately fill two positions that we need filled.

Hope we hear either way today, but might have to wait till Monday https://m.collingwoodfc.com.au/video/2019-08-19/player-of-the-week-jamie-elliott

Defender who should go inside 20..

My bad, I meant to post this one from September: https://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-09-20/cal-twomeys-2019-phantom-form-guide-september-update I also didn’t realise that the other one had been been updated. My mistake.

This is a more up to date Phantom Draft: https://m.afl.com.au/news/2019-08-08/cal-twomeys-2019-phantom-form-guide-august-update

Yeah I also believe this to be true. Problem is, he seems to be this years bolter, and is rated higher each time a new phantom draft comes out. He may go as high as 10, so we have to be careful if we split pick 3, that we can still land him.

If we can somehow split pick 3, and draft Stephens & Weightman, that would be the ideal scenario imo
