Frustrating to think we might be going through another year of contract speculation, but the fact is we need him for 2024 Thankfully he’s contracted until 2025, so if he still wants out in 12 months, we get everything we can for him out of Adelaide and go hard for King, JUH or McDonald Having said that a lot can happen in a year or two, so there’s every chance he changes his mind and commits long term (r-right? 😢)

They haven’t categorically stated it but it was been speculated on by generally well regarded journalists like Cal Twomey They also split pick 2 last year to get 8 and 12 to get local players Gibney and Hewett Ultimately getting a local player rather than an interstate one won’t be the deciding factor in whether they trade pick 1 and who they pick, but there are a large number of people who think it will play some role in what they’re open to
-
He also said in a seperate segment that he currently has the first 6 picks as follows: 1 - Reid 2 - McKercher 3 - Duursma 4 - Watson 5 - Sanders 6 - Curtin Went on to say that is why he thinks we’re a chance of pulling off a play for Reid - i.e. that Curtin would be available at our pick Of course noting all of this is subject to change as clubs get a better idea of which club will take which player at their respective picks

Mate where has this come from? There has been no confirmation of his timeline from the club as far as I’m aware, other than that they’re confident the injury won’t impact his career long term Suggesting he won’t play for half a season is pure speculation - he could just as easily be ready to play round one if he can complete the post-Christmas part of the preseason

Forward comes out of contract / requests trade = Melbourne must have interest 🙄 There’s no way we’re bringing in Gunston when we’re already likely to have Fritsch, McAdam and Smith as medium tall options and Melksham potentially coming in late in the year

Hawks reportedly offered Brockman, pick 4 and their future first for pick 1 which was knocked back by West Coast
-
A bargaining tactic? Surely they’d offer pick 3 and a couple of other selections if that would get them pick 1 Having said that, if I was them I’d just take picks 2 and 3 and get the best two available, so maybe there’s some truth in what he’s saying 🤷♂️

Still not convinced we can get pick 1 with 6, 11 and a future first Surely we’d at least need to get our hands on pick 2 or 3 from the Roos while retaining pick 11? But then how do we get pick 2 or 3 without giving up 11? I’ll leave this one to Lamby…
-
Haven’t done the maths but probably similar value to the pick 27 we paid for him? Currently leaves us with 6, 11, 41 and 46 for this year, with our own future picks, Sydney’s future second and Dogs future third A bit to play out yet…
-
Surely 6, 11 and a future first wouldn’t get it done for pick 1? And I’m not sure how I feel about packaging them up for anything less than that, i.e. pick 2 or 3 Will be very curious how this plays out…

Thanks @adonski - sounds perfect for our second or third pick
-
Looks like they have since edited it to future third: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1051386/western-bulldogs-secure-pick-no4-from-gold-coast-suns-in-first-trade/amp “The Suns have also traded their future third-round pick to the Dogs as part of the deal.”
-
Just a note that the Suns traded their future third round pick to the Dogs, not their first Otherwise the Dogs would have done ridiculously well 😅

Totally forgot they were from the same draft - Judd every day of the week then 😅
