My Take on our Trade/Draft Period
With North having our 1st rounder this year obviously don't have as many bargaining chips to trade for what we need.
But we need to make changes to the list to keep improving (not to mention the coaching but that is another discussion).
I think we still need some young talent on the list so would be wanting to use at least a second rounder and 3rd round pick in this draft.
Unless it was for an unbelievable deal I would not give our 1st rounder for 2021, as it is meant to be a very very good draft and who knows where we finish next year !
I think for the right deal Brayshaw should be considered as trade bait he still holds a lot of value, We have the upper hand with him being contracted ( apparently Fremantle are keen)
If so ask for their 1st Round , Adam Cerra, Darcy Tucker or even Sam Sturt who we were keen on in the draft a couple of years ago
other players we should consider trading that hold some value
Brayden Preuss ( however we still need to find some back up mature ruck from else where if he goes )
Tom Macdonald - Not worth much at the moment - but if a decent deal came along we would have to look at it
