We'd split it if the player(s) we like would be available at the pick we're trading for and acquire the freebie on top. It's not rocket science. We're not doing a trade for the sake of it.

I'd prefer Lindsay @ 9 if we're going another mid. Would like some pace to offset Langfords lack of pure break-away speed..

Well I've been watching a lot of Harvey Langford highlights lately and have fallen in love with him, so now I'm torn. What a position to be in..

We'd have to split 9, wonder if Port, GWS, WC or Freo might give us their first and early second..

I believe WC had pick 2 when that post was made

He's my preferred now. With a bullet. Just looks like the next Dangerfield the way he moves. Adelaide would be [censored] NUTS to pass on this kid, I really hope they do!

Yeah I just can't see it happening. Never even considered the possibility of Draper being there for our pick, but I'd call out his name with zero hesitation if he was!

Kolt is an intriguing one to me also and probably one I'm following a lot more closely than any other recent draftee, I think because we gave up a bit to trade up and nothing about his skill set screams out to me. But I can see something. There's a doggedness about him that's just waiting for his body to catch up. It won't be through lack of trying or passion that he doesn't cement a spot in the 22

Prime for us at 9. Fills a need and at worst is a running back type at best another damaging mid, would be like having a spare Rivers. Want.

They can get a Smilie/Reid/Trainor/Armstrong possibly Tauru combo for 7&8. They need that. I'd be happy with those two picks in the hand if I was them.

If we get to 9, and there's 4 blokes on the board we'd be happy with, then yeah we get 26 for free. If not, we just use 9. That's the logical play at least..

I'm getting the sense no one's really going to want to trade down for North's 2 - and they won't be able to beat our 5 anyway, so North might have to not be "greedy" and just use a bit of our philosophy, and pony up 2 for your need and call it a day.

He's a good analyst, he had a video of Windsor in his draft year and pretty much nailed his assessment of him.

Pressure's on though, because if you do then they BOTH have to be locks in the 22 otherwise you've passed on a potential star

Recently McVee, JVR, Tholstrup, Rivers, Jackson even Taj Woewodin - we certainly aren't afraid to draft from Western Australia so it wouldn't be a surprise

I feel like the circled are out only real suitable trade partners seeing how the perceived value adds up. Pick 5 for Rich 10&11 Pick 9 for GWS 15&16, or WC 12&26 (of they want Allen) Or some similar combo. Of course the opposite is true for them - do they want to reduce their picks in an even draft?

If Travaglia and Lindsay still there @ 9, who you taking?

Apologies if already posted - "True Footy" channel on YouTube did a mock draft and his reasoning for our picks are pretty sound; Reasons for our picks, essentially we buck the trend somewhat and appear to "reach" - not that we're reaching but if a mid is expected to go at our pick then we'll go Tauru as the "more speculative". Also points out how we like to recruit from WA and Bo Allen is a good fit for that pick.. Edit - note he has Tiges and North doing a pick swap of North's pick 2 for Tiges 11&12

That's how you end up with Watts and McCartin. Best available is the responsible thing to do with the draft assets you have.

Nothing other than the fact that (in my non-expert opinion), they look like they'll make it as AFL footballers who will slot right into our current team. I also do like Tauru but get the sense while we've got Lever, a Travalia/Lindsay type player would be more dynamic to our current setup. Also don't rate Armstrong, which is probably unfair, but he's incredibly underwhelming to me.

If we can get Lalor/Smith, Travaglia/Lindsay double I'd go nuts

Bloody oath. Essendon's telegraphed their intention on Kako so we really should bid @ #5 for the lols

Someone wake me up from this nightmare

I rate him, the comment was more around we need more than just those two.

We're nuts if we don't get two legit mids this draft, or at least a genuine mid and someone who can progress to one. Slim pickings when the next batch is headlined by Sparrow and Rivers.
