So I'm guessing we're not getting the full team bnf leader board this year? Disappointing.

Trade radio stating Melbourne had "mild" interest in Billings. Doesn't sound significant and was played down

Is that Tom McDawkins?

Going by this article I think it's safe to assume he'll be on the senior list next year. Turner extends contract with Dees… https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1165517/turner-extends-contract-with-dees

Have a link? Would like to to listen to the interview.

Contracted for next year but will be a RFA then. Dockers making noise about wanting to sign him up soon

We want an early 2nd rounder for Grundy according to foxsports. Can we get 23 off the swans? Could help land us pick 10

Perhaps we need a Geelong pick 7 thread

If it's pick 3 though they are taking that and running no? Adelaide didn't match doedee and got pick 19 straight away today. Maybe wishfully thinking but perhaps it's not band 1 like they hoped?

Interesting that 30mins ago Goldstein has been confirmed to make his way to the bombers but no confirmation on McKay. Think they were submitted at the same time.

Problem is Adelaide. Their picks 19, 22, 25 = 2549 points. Might come down to which club is willing to offer futures. Gold Coast cleaning up with elite talent and future picks.

Both pick 4 and ports futures 1st have been traded to bulldogs and freo respectively

Don't think anyone is concerned about Goldstein netting any compensation.

Assuming croft nominates them, which I'm sure he will, it's a smart play.

Ben mckay and Todd Goldstein paperwork has been lodged. Guess we will find out soon what the damage is.

Adelaide now have 9, 19, 22, 25 We have 13, 26, 34, 40 They are probably favourites to land pick 10 unless we use 13 in the deal. I'm sure the club will manoeuvre up the boards as much as possible but equally, I wouldn't be surprised if we took 5 and 13 to the draft and trade our glut of 2nds for future picks, ports 1st for example. Maybe a combination of both. Trade to have 5 & 10, take Brown late. Then acquire ports first depending on leftover picks.

I hope we have a strong long at Geelongs pick 7 and Gold Coasts (likely) pick 10. Probably unlikely we land both particularly with Adelaide having an excellent draft hand now.

Adams officially requested a trade to Sydney. Goodwindees has well and truly established themselves, alongside chookinperth, with genuine itk status.

Hello butters/mccluggage, both ooc next year. Edit: conflicting reports but a quick google suggests butters doesn't come ooc until 2025 sadly

While true, that would mean they would prefer to take a kid in the late 30s compared to Croft, rated a first round prospect I was more coming from the perspective that the dogs want him. Trading out pick 10 and 17 (could be 13 and 20 come draft night) to get ahead of a bid for croft, expected in the teens, makes sense for them. They get a top 4 pick and can get croft for their later junk picks. However, what if Croft doesn't end up nominating them? Will they be happy to trade 10, 17 and future 1st for a top 4 pick without the benefit of getting another kid rated in the first round. Might make them think twice about it.

Does anyone have the vote count for the rest of the team outside the top 10?

Article on the afl website saying he got a 4 year deal at the swans

Bulldogs the latest club linked.

Is there a full list of votes for the bnf count?

25, 33 and 39 gives gold coast an extra 400 odd points, should be able to leave 13 untouched. They probably won't be interested but pick 5 and 25 for pick 4 instantly gives them an extra 600 points and then they can sell 5 to the highest bidder.
