I reckon i'd prefer to grab 12 and 18 off Port Get Serong at 12 and hope that Pickett makes it to 18 which he may well.

If it were me choosing i think i'd be going Green at 3 if not Green, Jackson and hoping for Young at 10. if not Young - in order of preference - Ash, Stephens, Serong, Kemp

12 and 18 would be good Jackson 3 Weightman 12 Pickett 18

we would only do it if the guy we want will be there at 15. if they're set on Weightman for example it make sense to improve that third pick as much as possible

I wonder if part of the deal with Freo included a hand shake deal to pass on Young if he were to make it that far?

I will eat my hat if Hayden Young gets to pick 10. surely Fremantle would grab him at pick 7 if he even gets that far.

i am not sure what i think of that deal. i feel like the talent in this draft drops off a bit outside of the top 12 or so. i reckon we should grab Jackson or Young at 3 one of Ash/Stephens/Serong at 10 and best avaliable at 28

Pickett likely to make it to 28?

Freo's 2 picks are interesting. i suspect they'll take Robertson and either Ash or Stephens. i reckon the Blues will grab the other or Serong and we will get whichever is left.

He's a bloody hard player to find a comparison for. maybe a more mobile Mitch Clark with a basketball background.

Brodie Grundy was a first round pick, granted he slid down the order further than was expected. Ben McEvoy was also from memory.

I think it's as simple as the Giants rate Jackson higher than Green, and they'd grab him if we did bid so they don't care.

Just saw Jay Clarks phantom draft and he is absolutely convinced we will be trading pick 8 but didn't go into to which team. and is equally convinced we'd be picking Luke Jackson at pick 3

Nor do i, but i'd like to see it happen. the NBA offers trading without the players permission at times and it's something i find enjoyable. would certainly help the bottom sides to become competitive faster.

I'm amazed our response wouldn't be where do we sign? unless we have a particular player in mind who may not make it to pick 8, which is entirely possible. a combination of Jackson, Stephens and Pickett sounds very appealing.

10 and 22?

I was chatting to a friend who supports Carlton and he was saying they're quite keen on Serong at pick 9. he said though there is pretty strong word that there may be some behavior/attitude concerns with him which is why he may slide a little bit, has anyone else heard this?

That's a good point, they have pick 40 i believe, i wonder if we will do something with that and get a pick earlier than 97 to go with 3, 8 in this years draft in exchange for not bidding on Green. I personally would love to see the live trading include players though, I think that would make the draft night live trading very exciting.

I assumed that's what you meant, i just don't see what we would get out of such a deal given the other guys are would want aren't going to slide far enough.

It's hard to see how that could benefit us given it's unlikely Young or Jackson would get through to pick 8 even if they passed on them. It is a strange one though, i just genuinely think they have someone in mind assuming Jackson, and they think he is better than Green so if we bid 3 they're happy for us to take him. otherwise they'll grab two players.

all the noise seems to be pointing to Jackson at 3. wondering if anyone has heard anything about who we might be keen on at pick 8?

Knightmare saying on twitter if he was Melbourne he would be bidding on Green as he considers him on par with Rowell and Anderson and thinks the only reason the Giants wouldn't match is he's a surplus positionally to what they need, but i think the same is true for us as well.

Too much. my preference at the moment is Young and Serong. Serong could help fill the need for a small forward and can rotate through the middle and Young improves our wing/half backs stocks.

Not at all impossible either. Crows want Stephens. Swans want Flanders and Dockers i think will pick Robertson. so it's really down to what the Giants do with pick 4. if Young gets past them i reckon we'll get him at 8. if not i'd say it'll be Lachie Ash

I wonder if the Giants would rate Jackson higher than Green? would they match a bid with pick 3? in any case, i doubt they would do this if they thought there was any real chance of us bidding.
