Nascent

Think we have 4 spots, 5 if we move on K Turner. Can see us taking two at the draft, a mature recruit (Billings/Lycett?) and use a rookie or late pick for f/s Brown.

Anyone keen to add Scott Lycett or Sam Hayes for an 'in case of emergency' ruck depth?

Foot must be healing well

Looking forward to doing this dance with Adelaide again next year.

I reckon we could ask for more. If they take Reid and are desperate to grab our pick to take Curtin as well on draft night, we ask for future 1st and future 2nd. Maybe even their pick 23 this year as well.

Trade Radio stated still a club interested but not named. Line put through Collingwood, Carlton and dogs. I wouldn't be surprised if it's us for pick 42. Edit: dogs, not dons

They're obviously never going to publicly state that. It's been industry suggestion that they would love to have Curtin. How much stock can be put in that is the question.

Out: Grundy In: McAdam (syd f2), Fullarton (syd 3rd)

Second and future first for Schultz. Unless trade tracker is wrong again.

Trade radio tweet saying Billings getting interest but no clubs mentioned. We allegedly had interest a couple weeks ago so maybe a watch there.

From the start of trade period. Tim Lamb showing good restraint with a reporter asking him why they think Fullarton will be different than Grundy. Around 7min mark. Other random tid bits in the video that are old news now and prior to most of the club meetings.

Certainly hope this is the case

Way I see it there are three potential outcomes for pick 1 - Stays with West Coast - Traded to North - Traded to Us. North would have to offer at least one of 2 or 3, 15 and future 1st. We will have to offer 6, 11 and future 1st. I don't see North trading picks 2 and 3, and they would be very hesitant to offer a future 1st with that still being a high probability of being a top 4 pick. I don't see Melbourne or Kangaroos adding players to the equation but could easily be wrong there. At this stage I think West Coast are favourites to keep pick 1.

Sans Allen I would presume

Kids got some agro too which I like

Adelaide seem to have done a bit of work with Petty, problem for them is they still need to satisfy us Keep him as a required player like numerous clubs have done before. If he still wants out in two years as an RFA, we'll likely still get a mid to late first round pick as compensation. Which is currently the best Adelaide are offering with McAdam thrown in. Adelaide are yet to make it an appealing proposition for us. It's like North offering 15, 17, 18 and future end of first (19+) to West Coast. Doesn't go anywhere near satisfying the asset that he is. If Thilthorpe or Fogerty become part of the equation then we might listen. But I just can't see them offering either player.

That's a different conversation that I would probably be willing to accept.

Problem is they won't give up either of those players. Both are from Adelaide and both are contracted. This is a massive free-kick to Adelaide if we let him walk. Plus their original offer was pick 14 which was our pick. I don't even think we can legally receive that back. But if we can, they bought that from the Gold Coast Suns for two mid 20s picks. Petty is worth more than that. Particularly to us with limited key position depth.

I just can't see us trading a young key position player without an adequate replacement. Petty out means a backline of May, Lever and Tomlinson and a fwd line of JvR and hope that Brown or McDonald don't fall apart. Maybe fullarton. We kiss any chance of a premiership success goodbye imo, he is that important. We're only taking two picks to the draft anyway and I'm not sure pick 10 helps us get Reid. Just because Adelaide want him doesn't mean we should bow to their wishes and shoot ourselves in the foot in the process.

He can nominate for either draft

Can we even take pick 14 back? Thought there were rules preventing this. We got blocked by the afl back in 2019 from receiving our 2nd rounder back in the freo Langdon - pick swap trades back in 2019.

I don't believe so

Unless we have other plans for the draft with pick 41 we just select him there after he nominates a price on his head. Doubt other clubs will pick him up. Sick of us being reasonable at the table only for other clubs trying to take us for a ride.

Yes
