Absolutely not, we cant trade out a top 10 pick for 15 and 20. we need to retain 2 top 10 picks at a minimum IMO.

1. Bailey Fritsch - could be the surprise of the year, has a 40 goal season in him, can create, draw opponents, play tall and small. Everything Jack Martin is and half the price. 2. Jake Lever - Another sub par year will cement his recruitment as a bust. Is a terrific leader and really hope he gets a good run at it. 3. Jack Viney - People forgot very quickly about Jack, they started to concentrate on what he cant do, rather than what he can do. The calls to trade him on this site were hard to fathom, but truly believe he can be the player he was a couple years ago. 4. Angus Brayshaw - Which year was the anomaly? he has mirrored the MFC in the last 2 years. Needs to care more about using the footy and get back to that team first mentality. 5.Joel Smith - what is he? who is he? can he play? if he can its a bonus and could be the swingman we need.

You do whatever makes you happy Dees247. i dont blame you.

if we take 3 picks inside the top 10 then i would look at him, but i get the feeling Freo will want our pick 3 for him. so we get 7,8&10.

Also i think we rate the ruckman Jackson and can get him in the top 10 as well as 2 other mids.

Yep that is what i was thinking. having 3 picks inside the top 10 would be a wonderful result, keeping in mind we wouldn't have a 1st rounder next year, but a second rounder which after academy and FS selections, wouldn't be that much different.

yeah its good for us, but who knows what they might do with 3, they might then split it with GWS.. all i got told is that Freo are right in the mix to deal with us for pick 3.

I heard not long ago that pick 3 will head west to Freo, leaving us with 7,8 & 10. 3 picks inside the top 10. Cue.. who's your source and all that, but thats from someone who would have a good idea.

I am on the record as saying Jack Martin is no where near the what he is being valued at. the only thing that's going to affect us is the perceived public and media scrutiny for not "taking a risk" or "having some pills" to draft him. Stuff that, i guarantee Martin will never win a game for you, would rather draft Jack Newnes.

Realistically, out of our delistings and trades only one player was really best 22 and that is because of circumstance in Frost. So we clear out: Lewis, Maynard, Garlett, Stretch, JKH, Keilty, Smith, Walker &Frost and we Bring in 2 best 22 players in Tomlinson & Langdon, add that 2 top 10 picks and possibly a DFA then our list has improved significantly.

Its Young.. then one of Stephens, Kemp or Weightman i m imagine, they are the players that fit. Assuming Serong will go at 5, 6 or 7.

I like all the players (even the ones that really frustrate me...) and i feel for them when there time ends, but the facts are they both had chances to make it, especially JKH and they have both shown they are excellent VFL players but offer little in the AFL.

Not a shock, but both are better footballers than ANB.

We will really regret not taking this kid at 3.. he has skill,poise and speed. i would say they are 3 of our biggest hole o n the list. We simply cant ignore whats we need and when its on offer for us.

Be great if we had a pick in the 20s.

100% with you on this, also good overhead as well. I think he should be a legitimate option. Will be better with another pre season under his belt, and like all small fwds are better when we have function talls.. thats the issue i think.

Yep, that would not surprise me at all. its an awful rag each Journo with their own agenda and egos out of control.

The HS rankings were embarrassing and the "Journos" at the joint are an absolute mess, they think they are bigger than the game, they no longer write stories about what has happened, its all about ramifications and putting themselves on TV or radio. Its a 2 bit rag run by 2-bit operators.

We didn't take a calculated risk with Jenkins when we should have IMO but i really like what we have done. 2 first rounders inside the top 10 is perfect for this club that has not had a lot of top end talent lately. Langdon is a great pick up and i think Tomlinson make sour bottom 6 stronger, and that's the key, upgrading your depth because we have the talent. My concern is we dont have a first rounder next year, which potentially could be embarrassing, but we back ourselves in to rebound. B.

His price of $700k will rule us out, its apipe dream, plus he is not a $700k per year player. He has lovely skills but i honestly cannot remember seeing him rip a game a part, in fact i cant even really remember watching him play and thinking this guy is a gun. Bailey Fritsch is everything and can be more Jack Martin is and we already have him.

Yep, they may need that, thats exactly why we hold the aces, if they dont want to give us that then its 3 & 8 for us.

yes, good point, pick 40 will be pivotal in the bidding for Green. Something else then please.

That's true, im not pretending to know anything but i am coming from this as an outsider and its my opinion that it seems silly after not addressing issues after the prelim loss that we are not addressing another issue. JM says theya re backing in the fwd line of 2018 where we were the number 1 scoring side, thats great, but what if we end up having a 2019 season.

I dont think it will be aplayer, not this late. It will be Pick 6 and next years First. As i have said, we need a bit more i think, GWS need this more than we need it, so let them pay the price. if we gave up 3 picks for 1 with North, then we need to extract the same from GWS pick 3 for 3 picks (6, 40 & 2020 1st rounder)

Not for me.
