Because we are in a premiership window and May adds A LOT to our team balence. IMO we are closer to a flag with May in our team than Hogan

IF, if we were to get 5 and swap it for 8+13 before Wed 8.30, we might try and use 8 as part of May deal and keep 13. That cannot be done on draft night. Get it?

Wrong. I guess you are too busy making [censored] up to understand May is extremely quick off the mark. In the GF sprint a couple of years back he left Jayden Hunt for dead over the first 50m or so. He has pace, very good pace for a guy of his size.

Polec now claiming Wingard's head was "in no mans land" at Port Adelaide before deciding to leave. Can't he keep his big mouth shut on other people's business.... Isn't he the fool that said Gaff would be playing alongside him at Norf?

Next years 1st rounder (16-18) and our 2nd rounder this year (32) for May

Except if the length of the demanded contract scared them off then the picks aren't traded

Hi Stuie!

Apparently they are having 5 min gap between each pick which gives clubs the chance to do live trade picking. Eg Crows might offer 7+13 for Saints 3, depending upon who was taken pick 1 and 2.

Cogniglio?

Hard to catch rabbits

So you don't think clubs refrain from giving votes to players rumoured to be leaving? I'll agree to disagree and leave it there. At the end of of the day (or Wednesday, as it is) the actual pick matters little to our trade objectives. If we get 5 as part of the Hogan trade and then use that to get May, we are a significantly better balanced team. IMO we are closer to a flag in 2019 with May than with Hogan, and I rate Hogan highly.

Do think a club would reward a player rumoured to leave with lots of B&F votes? Remember Lever at Adelaide last year? Beckman generally don't figure highly in awards anyway. Where did Hogan finish and is he also worth pick 5?

Highly doubt it, but hope you are correct

An English professor?

Now really, Special... how many times have I told you not to touch the green acid that Biffen supplies?

What an [censored] hole of a poster you are. 100%. A 'health scare' is when the doc makes a diagnosistic mistake. Jesse had CANCER, and the ramifications can affect him long term even if the risk of death is no longer near. Are you his physician? Otherwise what you write is garbage. But Mr Macho from Sydney anonymously thinks it's nothing to watch a parent die from cancer and should forget about it and be "man enough"!!!! What a [censored].

Ian Stewart, apparently.

Don't forget about the tea leaves!

Rubbish. May and another first rounder used or traded for an existing player would have more impact overall on our team next year. Include KK, Pruess and Toby Bedford and that list quickly becomes the AFL team to beat over the next 5 years. Stick to the riddles mate.

Think we might use 36 for Bedford, and I doubt cat B's are on main list. Might take 2 or 3 DFAs to get the numbers. Menzel here we come! ?

So given our retirements and delistings how do we fill the list vacancies to bring us up to the required number?

Unfortunately, Mad Dog Peter Bell has more say than Pickers
