I had heard on trade radio a couple of times it seems Essendon think that's a fair asking price and i find that incredible. don't believe for a second we have any interest whatsoever in joe.

I don't understand how Sydney could even consider two first round picks for a guy who's not made it onto the ground in 2 years

The Giants deal for next years first rounder is not a great deal for us. it's likely a late first round pick in a heavily compromised draft, it's probably only worth a second rounder. Much better off demanding Finlayson or Caldwell and pick 6

I like it, we need the run but equally we need the experience and on field leadership. they can have their future second rounder back for him. or pick 8 for Smith and 11

The Giants 2020 first rounder may be say pick 15. in a heavily compromised draft it might only be worth a second rounder. i don't think i'd be doing that deal. i would be telling them we want a ready to go best 22 player and pick 6 for pick 3 and nothing else gets it done.

I'm surprised Robbo can count to 50.

Sounds like we're very likely to draft Cody Weightman which makes me think we should look to split 8 with the Cats for 14 and 17 as he's likely to be there at 14 and we would effectively get a bonus free hit with 17 maybe on jeremy Sharp

My best/Hopeful guess would be. 1. Rowell 2. Anderson 3. Dees - Serong 4. Giants - Green 5. Crows - Stephens 6. Bombers - Flanders 7. Dockers - Jackson 8. Dees - Young

Might well have been a typo

Any run downs would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully the Jenkins signing means pick 6 and Finlayson just got traded to Melbourne for 3

Lachie Ash.

Agreed, they're going all in they might throw up some hail marys to try and land some guns from other clubs, if not i'd be grabbing Young and then one of Flanders or Ash at 8

It's certainly bold. but i've personally been keen on swapping our 2020 pick for something this year, just because next year is nearly a write off.

Heavily compromised draft in 2020 so our first rounder then is probably worth 10 spots later than it actually falls. so say it's 10 you're looking at it as 20, 26 and 50 for 8 in a MUCH stronger draft

I agree, and fairly comfy with losing on points given next years draft is heavily compromised before free agency even gets into it. a couple more young guns added to our young core i think is the go.

were keen to split pick 3 but it sounds like we were only willing to do it for a really good deal. Not sure about our capacity to target a star in terms of cap room I still think we might split it with the Giants for pick 6 and a player. if we could go to the draft with 6 and 8 and get say Finlayson, Caldwell, Daniels to go with it

If we're as keen on Anderson as i reckon we are maybe we could send 3 and 8 to the Suns for 2 and 15

Young and Ash sounds perfect to me, speed, good kicks, outside class and Young is a good intercept player. releases Salem up the ground further

the biggest thing for me is the nature of the 2020 draft. very likely the most compromised draft in AFL history. even if they get say pick 8 again next year, it's probably only worth say pick 20 any other year

Throw them both at the Giants for Lachie Whitfield sounds alright to me.

Young at pick 3 Ash or Flanders at pick 8. geez. that'd be a good result.

I Bloody hope so! we're robbing them if it is, i don't think there will be 8 good players in next years draft
