We definitely look to be considering small forwards in the pre season draft which makes me think they have others they'd like to consider in the draft

He's a super talent. imagine being an 18 year old ruckman, coming in and learning off Max gawn and then taking over the mantle. more than happy to grab him at pick 8.

Got a funny feeling we'll go with Serong at pick 3, he's going to be handy up forward in the small forward role, ability to rotate through and have an impact in the middle as well. I reckon we might grab Lachie Ash at pick 8.

If the deal offered by Carlton that seems to be public is true MFC could match it. makes me think there is a bit of Visy situation about this and that's why he's so keen to get there.

I'd be bidding on Green at 3, making the Giants match and then grabbing Young. wouldn't be unhappy with Serong but we are crying out for someone with Youngs kicking and it's such an important position.

I've heard it's a pretty delicate situation so definitely best for him to be closer to home and the support of his family and at the end of the day, footy clubs are run by human beings and sometimes it's worth taking a bit of a hit in a football sense to do the right thing. well done St Kilda for looking after a champion of your club when he needed it desperately.

I suspect they're pretty keen. maybe if they did a deal with the Suns for pick 15. we could get thier pick 40 odd as well.

I think assuming it's picks only. i'd be telling them if they can add a pick of 13 or better to add with 6 i'd do it. if we can get Weightman at 13 and say Ash and Stephens at 6 and 8 that'd be a good overall result.

Fortunately the guys who make these decisions don't do so based on highlight reels. Stephens is a good player though i'd also be happy with Flanders

I'd be speechless.

Nothing wrong with hitting the draft with pick 3 and 8. infact it's a great position. i'm sure GWS understand that and we're silly if we aren't demanding a best 22 player along with pick 6 for pick 3. we need a deal that improves our side for 2020 for this to be worth it.

No complaints for me. greatly increase our speed and class on the outside address small forward need re-enforce key targets forward build on young core add on field experience and leadership all major areas of list concern addressed is a success in anyones books. don't mind the idea of offering up the future second to the Crows for a last minute hail mary at Alex Keith potentially.

Agreed. for them it's potentially Serong and Green vs Green and no other pics. i can see exactly why they're so desperate to do that deal.

Interesting that none of the highly paid lawyers involved for years over the course of this saga managed to miss this somehow.

It's because he tries to kick when running at full speed under pressure. a very easy thing to address and fix up. if that's the worst problem he has he's in a very good position.

Rubbish. he's a good kick, shown great leadership, reads the play well and is consistent in his position. you should probably know what you're talking about before you plot players because you clearly have not seen him play.

Pick 3 to the Giants for Jeremy Finlayson and pick 6 Pick 8 to the Hawks for Issac Smith and pick 11 pick 6 we draft Lachie Ash and get some genuine speed pick 11 we draft Cody Weightman, small forward with genuine skills and x-factor overall a terrific trade period.

The entire discussion is based on who we want at pick 3. if our number one choice is likely to make it to 6 then anything else is a bonus. but that doesn't mean we shouldn't play hardball. I have a funny feeling we'd be keen on Serong over young, just because he can fill the small forward role and rotate through the midfield.

Would you consider pick 8 for Smith and 11. especially if the intention is to take Weightman with that pick so you're really getting Smith as a bonus.

Something i am glad about in a sense, we don't leak. hopefully it also means we are up to something

Anyone else get excited the moment you see chook in perth post anything? haha

One i'd be seriously looking at is Issac Smith. i think we really lack on field leadership, and he addresses a need as well

Pick 3 for pick 6 and a future pick is a horrible trade for us. i would be staggered if we actually made that trade. we have GWS bent over a barrel and desperate for that pick. we simply have to get a ready made best 22 player who can help us next year or take that pick to the draft.

Agreed. Serong/ Young at 3 Ash/Kemp/Weightman/Flanders at 8

I think the deal between Sydney and Carlton is done basically in principal. the Swans maybe just don't want to lose him if they can't get Daniher.
