Brayshaw has genuine toughness, is surprisingly quick and has elite skills on both feet, he and Petracca would be a great combo for us

I reckon we need some big signings, we have huge cap room, and trade assets

Look if you're offering i'd probably take Parker and Prestia for those picks haha.

I think saints will finish last but we might well be 17th

Young Russel seems to be a pretty solid player, could play a lot of different positions but probably doesn't have the talent to stay in their side long term when he is competing with 22 blokes who could all be superstars i'd take him off their hands instead of the second rounder.

I really like this idea! If I was Roos, I'd be talking to Gold Coast about trading picks 4 and 24 for picks 11, 15 & 31. I'm sure GCS would like to move up in the draft and consolidate their talent, especially having to trim their list further as it shrinks, while we still need to bring in weight of numbers. Of course, this is all Gold Coast would be a good fit for a icing on the cake type player like Pickett trade 11 for Jake Carlisle trade 15 for Mitchell suddenly a compo pick has seen us replace Chip with a better defender, and add a really good midfield prospect to the list i'd probably then use pick 3 on Petracca knowing Trengove and Hogan will come back in and basically be like new players as well

Again I say, Dom Tyson and Jack Viney, Jay Kennedy-Harris, Christian Salem, Dean Kent, Tom Mcdonald are all under 21 and making a difference Nominations are irrelevant imo, we don't need those to tell us our young list is on the improve

I think the other thing Paul Roos and PJ would do is commit to making the best possible effort to trade the extra pick back into the mix, he has shown an obvious preference to bring in proven talent at every opportunity

Dom Tyson and Jack Viney are going along okay.

I'd say we'd have to not win another game to have a realistic chance of getting any assistance, we had a powerful argument last year, If they could knock back they will never say yes to anyone.

It really doesnt look a great draft in my opinion but the key position players at the top end add trade value to the picks

But HH that is indirectly what you are suggesting, If we trade we get proven good players If we draft we get potential good players I think we need to top off the talent we have with a couple of classy players Offer prestia 5 years at 750,000 to come home to the club he and his family supported growing up Offer dangerfield 6 years at 1.2 million, with Clark's salary gone and frawley probably leaving we have huge cap room Trade pick 3& toumpas for danger Trade pick 4 for prestia Trade pick 21 and blease for tommlinson

Of course you wouldn't want to lose him, but if it came down to having no way to keep him we would need to look at the best deal possible

Hyperthetically, what's Tommy Macs trade value? if he decides he wants a trade, would a 21 year old quality key position prospect get us a first round pick?

I'd rather trade both picks, Petracca is the only mid that interests me

Dangerfield and shiel would improve our side massively, we have had a lot of close losses those two plus Hogan probably turns them to wind and has us in the top 8 mix

I reckon he might need a change of scenery anyways, it's been a tough start for jimmy Jake covers the loss of chip Dangerfield gives us that superstar for our kids to follow and means Jones and Tyson won't cop tags Sheil looks a ready made gun to me And I really rate colyer as a player, good hardness and real pace

BB big contracts Dangerfied, Carlisle and shiel Pick 3 for shiel and late first round gws compo Pick 4 & toumpas for danger, better than any compo they might get And gws compo plus second rounder for carlisle and colyer

Still better than Dan Nicholson haha rookie prospect?

I tend to agree, decent X factor but I don't see a top 10 pick personally, i'd rather see us pick up one of the strong bodied mids, or two if Chip decides t move on

Petracca looks more impressive every time he plays, hopefully the saints, tigers and Lions want key position players we grab him if we lose Chip and land Brayshaw and Petracca i reckon it would be a fantastic result edit, i'd prefer to keep chip

Bit of Scarlett about how he creates from defence, he's young and I'm backing him in

He's had a very good year as a defender, his kicking needs work though

you know, none of your posts on this page have had anything to do with the draft this year. but you have a dig at someone for not " making a meaningful contribution" also 95% of your posts in any other thread are having a dig at someone and most of the time it's just their opinion being different to yours. #hypocrite

He can mate, but it hurts the chances imo
