I was using RPFC's list that already included Viney onto our list, and I am also aware Hogan will not be officially listed as a player next year. Edit: putting a smiley face in so I don't sound like a miserable dick...

Luke Ball

I can see us only using pick 4, 49 and 53 + PSD 3 or 1 delisted FA. So 4 picks in total plus upgrades of both Nicholson and Evans = 6 spaces. We currently have two. I would delist Cook, Bate, Bennell and Davis. Sign Bartram, Dunn, Petterd, MacDonald, Jetta, and Sellar to 1yr deals. Bail & Strauss I'd give 2 years. This gives them another chance to show the footy departement that they can fit into Neelds plans and that they have the dedication/commitment to get the best out of themeselves. If they don't, then we have our candidates for next years delisties because for me at this stage, I would like the current 2013 OOC players to remain at the club beyond then (Davey debatable).

Dawes = 1 Hogan = 5 Pederson = 10 Pick 4 = 18 Viney = 21 Boourns = 27 Rodan = 29 Barry = 34 Other numbers potentially ... 6, 7, 15, (22 and 23 currently vacant)

I really don't understand what Adelaide where thinking three years ago... Just stupid on every level.

Pedo, the second coming???

Officially a Demon today with the formality of the mini-draft selections taking place this afternoon. Welcome aboard Jesse. Suns, Dees secure 17-year-olds in GWS mini-draft

I don't like the idea of shopping players around who have just re-signed. Great way to put players offside and I believe it would be detrimental to the culture we are trying to build.

If Rivers goes he will probably secure us a pick in the late 20's early 30's.... but that could very well be on-traded for more experienced players

And as he slots one through....... "Yeeeaaahh, thats how you kick a goal b*tch!"

O'Rourke or Wines for me. Not keen on using a high draft pick on a ruckman, particularly when we are still in such need of high quality midfielders. I always think of Carlton when its Ruckman vs Midfielder. Now Kruezer is no spud, but he looks like the retarded offspring of Uncle Fester and Amy Winehouse in comparison to Cotchin.

I look at it this way.... in any normal draft we would have had pick 3 and 26, one of which to be used on Viney. We now have pick 4 and 20 + Viney + Hogan + Barry. I'm happy.

I am 100% certain we will recruit a midfielder with pick 4.

Talk of trading Gysberts seem to have died down lately. This pleases me.

One would assume St. Kilda would receive a 1st round compensation pick for Brendan Goddard. But now they aren't even in possession of a 1st round pick. One would assume that it wouldn't matter and they will still receive a pick after their ladder position pick i.e. pick 13. FA is certainly going to make things very messy for trade month as what you trade for may be of lesser value after the compo picks are delt out. Particularly as there is no clarity to what clubs may get in compensation. One would also assume that I used the phrase "one would assume" too many times in the one paragraph. One would assume.

Purely speculating but perhaps we are putting up pick 3 for MD 2 or it will go to the dogs in exchange for 5 & 6?

Gold Coast secure MD pick 1 trading ND pick 2 to GWS. Will select Jack Martin

Which Pokemon?

I guess I can understand Melbourne's perspective on this one if it does go through. The MFC has repeatedly stated that they want to replace HWRALASKWWPABMWBGAAIBTHPPITGFSTWRITT100PASFHTPFTGUAGKOTDWAA2PDPTWFOTCHCERTU,OAINLHAAHHSH in terms of experience i.e. 3-4 seasons + AFL exposure. It's important to note that the reports suggest that we won't consider trading pick 4 if we have to use 3 on Viney. So everyone knows as compensation, we received 4 + 13*. In essence, if this trade goes through... our draft result including compensation for Scully will look like. Pick 3 - ND Pick 13* - ND Pick 26* - Viney Trade - Wellingham/Dawes While no compensation = Pick 3 + Pick 26* (one of which is used for Viney) I see how the first scenario could be enticing because; we have included 2 senior AFL experienced players that will improve our team, we are still gaining an extra selection in the first round with pick 13, and essentially we are nabbing two top 5 draft selections with pick 3 and Viney. The problem I have is that using pick 4 for those two players is ludicrous. To attest to that, Wellingham’s manager says West Coasts second or third pick would be sufficient compensation for Collingwood while Dawes is being shown the door to accommodate other players. *picks subject to change post FA allocated picks

I think what people are concerned about is that reports apparently suggested that we went to Collingwood with the offer of pick 4.

Well if Buckley doesn't tickle your fancy then perhaps the prospect of Zomer returning to the fold will put a smile on your dial

I'd suggest that him having the least amount of views on an internet forum is a compliment, rightly or wrongly.
