he's got a really nice blend of toughness, class and work ethic.

3. Jackson 10. Pickett 28. Jeremy Sharp

A much more fair system would be academy bidding etc occurs before the draft as in teams can bid their picks for that player and if they do the Giants have an opportunity to match. but it means surrendering the picks to that value before the draft.

I feel in these situations and it's definitely strange to go from a Prelim to 17th you can afford a little bit of room to take a risk with those picks. however, i would only do that with 1. if we take Jackson we should take best avaliable at 10 if we take Green or Young we should be able to take a weightman or Pickett a little early if that's who we really want. I see a bit of the MFC trying to be too clever in this.

I wasn't a fan of trading 8 either, and it now appears we are a chance to miss out on the Jackson/Young combo but hopefully whatever we do with pick 10 comes off. it feels a pretty big gamble. If it were me in charge i think i'd be looking to trade 28 and our future second from the Hawks to Port for pick 18 Pick 3 to the Dockers for 7, 8 - they'll be desperate for Luke Jackson and likely bid on Green which helps us 7 - Young 8 - Ash 10 - Weightman 18 - Pickett and our other two list spots are filled by Brown and Bennell

I think there is a very good chance the Giants wouldn't match the bid for Green so i guess it comes down to who we rate 3 in this draft.

I get the feeling we'll be trying to split the pick in order to get both Picket and Weightman if at all possible.

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.
