Big Red Rooster

Hopefully Smith can take a hanger like his old man!!!

How about Nick Larkey? He's equal fourth on the goal kicking table (averaging 2.7) and is the youngest (24) and most accurate set shot (71.4%) in his peer group, is 198cm and is a pre-agent next year...plus the Roos are not sure who'll be coaching them which opens the window for us and Dees have the picks to do a deal. Would love to see Larkey and JVR tear it up!!

You misread. We should trade Dees picks 13, 27 and F2 for Cats picks 7, 25. Win-win-win if Dees want to land Grundy, Cats want to land Henry and Pies want better draft picks from Cats and Dees.

If you look at it the value of each pick using the points system, the cats end up being slightly ahead with this trade. Ultimately it will depend on how much the Cats want Henry to fill the void when Tomahawk retires.

We'd also be getting pick 7 (in addition to landing Grundy with pick 25). This would be a big win for us given we were originally keen to land a top 7 pick from the Jacko trade (i.e. the top 7 picks in this years draft are rated very highly...but it drops off after that)

Dees should trade out picks 13, 27 and F2 to Cats in return for their 7 and 25. Dees trade 25 to Filth for Grundy. Cats trade 13 to Filth for Henry. Dees free up $1m in salary cap by trading out Weids, Hunt, Bedford etc (Jackos exit covers Grundy). Dees target Whitfield (or Georgiades) by trading out our future first round pick plus what we get for Weids. Dees bring in Grundy and Whitfield (or Georgiades) and go to draft with pick 7.

Dees should trade our picks 13, 27 and F2 to Cats in return for their picks 7 and 25. Dees then trade 25 to filth for Grundy (i.e. filth want a top 25 pick). Cats trade 13 to filth for Henry (i.e. filth want a first round pick). Trading out Weid, Hunt, Bedford frees up $1m so Dees can target Whitfield (or Georgiades) using future first round picks. Dees bring in Grundy, Whitfield (or Georgiades) and go to draft with pick 7.
