The Pick 1 Thread
I'm not sure I can see North making a serious play for pick 1. They've moved on 13 players and replaced them with 4 during the trade period. 2 weren't best 22 at their former clubs in Fisher and Stephens and the other two are key position players who have played 1 AFL game between them. One hasn't even been on an AFL list for 4 years. They are going to need to bring in as much quantity as possible. Not sure it's in their best interests to burn 2-3 high end picks for one player. They have a ripping midfield list full of potential. But they're setting themselves up for failure and I fear it will lead to more handouts next year.

The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
I wouldn't be surprised if Brown slides through to the Rookie draft. Also to be determined is if we'll put Melksham on the inactive list, which I think entitles us to another selection.

The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
I think this is where my opinion currently sits aswell. At this stage it seems to be out of Curtin/Sanders/Watson for who is available at pick 7. Throw in a smokey in Caddy from outside that range who has grown to 193cm and is starting to look more key position height. I would be happy with a Curtin/Sanders/Watson pick, whichever way that falls for pick 6 (7). Can't really go wrong within the first 7 in my view. For 11, if we go a mid type at 6 I wouldn't be surprised if we try to manoeuvre up for O'Sullivan. 11 and future first for Geelongs pick 8 maybe? If we go with Curtin at our first pick, I'd be very happy with one of Leake/Windsor.

The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
It was just 14, 27, 35 for 11. F2 and F3 were for McAdam and Billings respectively. We only plan to take two picks to the draft and as spots were limited they therefore could only be used to move up or into the future. If the recruiters feel there's a premium pool of players in the first dozen or so, and subsequently a drop off after that, then they've wisely traded into that premium space in my view. Still a bit to played out anyway, our picks could still be drastically different again on draft night. We can properly break it down then.

The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
Not a 2023 target, but would love for the club to land an established mid like Butters, McCluggage, Florent or Callaghan over the next year or two. Also a key position player as required pending the status of Petty, May and Gawn.

Yep. I can see us still trading with the roos. Pick 6 and 11 for 3 and 18. 18 will end up around 22.

2024 Free Agents
Darcy and English will both be Restricted FAs while Logan won't be a free agent. Clubs can therefore match the RFA bids and trades will have to occur, depending on how they view the compensation.

2024 Free Agents
Unless Darcy wants out to vic. Freo have 3 first round picks next year and have been said to be targeting Logan McDonald. Think they're going to go hard at a player(s) next year.

On todays Gettable episode they described an early pick swap scenario involving us Gold Coast and North. Wasnt fully detailed but essentially would have seen North with picks 2, 5 and 6 with Melbourne getting 3 and North's 2024 end of first round pick after giving up 6, 14 and future 1st.

Trade Rumours 2023
ICYMI Essendons D'Ambrosio is apparently considered a delisted free agent under rookie rules and can move to Hawthorn via that mechanism. Essendon have been playing hardball with him to get a better pick and its been reported that they may not have been aware of this rule and the fact he can walk for nothing.
