    Re: Sharp - My Brisbane supporting mate said the following;

    I think he’s an AFL standard player who is probably 23rd-28th in line for a spot in our line up.  Lions rate him massively, best runner at the club.  Think you’re getting a good one tbh.  Sharp played a handful of games and was emergency for just about every other one in the last 2-3 years. Consistently just about our best VFL player.  Just victim of our list. He’s a winger for sure, but can play inside. Surprisingly tough. Query is on his kicking but it isn’t terrible.

     

    Traits similar to Langdon. Hope he spends the summer mentoring him

    Id like to see Noah Rookie’d, he is a good size and has shown that he is a talented youngster, being an Yze I see it as repaying Adem in some small way for his great services to the Dees. We have more spots this year and can accommodate him and who knows he could be a ripper and it may help sway others in the years to come. I.e Dees respect the tradition of F/S’s.

    That would absolutely be the very last reason that we'd pick him up

    Would be an insult to Adem and Noah, IMO

    I think it's good for PA and GCS.

    Reckon pies are terrible at future trading and their 1st next year might be top 6 pick. Houston won't get them another flag

    My first thought as well. If blues can con pick 8 out of St kilda then 3 and 8 becomes a very attractive offer for trac.

    Doubts the Blues would give 3 + 8 and still pay him $1mill+ for the next 5 years. We'd be paying him $300k pa for that to be possible.

    They don't have a good Trac record for brining in highly touted players only to watch them become injury prone bench warmers eg. Martin, Williams

    Can't see it happening.

    Would they consider Clarry?

    (ducks head...)

    I believe the Sharp deal may be off now. This is unconfirmed rumour currently, so the whole idea may end up completely out the window of course. I think we are required by the AFL to use at least 3 draft picks each year aren't we? So even if we were to trade 49 for Sharp we would still need to find another pick somewhere I think? My guess is we are not done yet with our pick trading, the talk around this year's draft has been the top 30 or so are all very good (apologies if wrong, it's not something I follow very closely), so just from my perspective I'd be happy with 3 picks in the top 21.

    We could then possibly look at Yze as a rookie and I remember reading the club was trying to get Mentha as a category B rookie.

    I believe the rule is we have to turn over 3 spots on our list, not necessarily pick three in the draft.

    I could be wrong on that though.  You've been good for years here at finding out these details, so appreciate in advance if you can clarify 

    5, 9 and Campbell might suffice if so

    Once we have the Essendon deal done we should be talking to GWS about a potential pick split in my view.

    I personally would consider 9 and 49 for their 15 and 21.

    What do we use for Sharp?

    Cannot trade other 2025 future picks due to F1 gone

    Please remember this is likely pick 6 and 10 after Levi Ashcroft gets to Brisbane, and possible other academies could push pick 10 out as well.

     

    Yes, but everyone knew the f/s and academy picks were going to happen, so the actual numbers are by-the-by, except for the points value of where bids are made to the f/s or academy clubs. It's the order of the remaining players that we are moving up for.

    Given it’s looking more likely than not that we’ll have first round father son in K White next year trading out for good return this year is genius…

    Has that been confirmed? I migh've missed it. Last I read there was no indication yet from him or family

    Ive heard he cleaned out said locker due to old socks smelling. 

    I heard the story of a Melb CBD university clearing out an entire seven story building due to a 'gas leak' only for the fire brigade to discover it was a durian fruit left in a locker by an international student

    Let me ask a simple question, was Clayton Oliver spitting in the faces of every Melbourne supporter who backed him in this year and spoke face to face with him at the B&F, including myself, it would have been easier for him not to attend surely.
