Don't mind it at all. what about 3 & 22 for 7, Langdon and 26

For the sake of team balance though, do you invest a top end pick in a guy that is very similar to what you've already got? i wouldn't be doing it unless we were considering trading out one of Angus or Viney. I'd rather just take pick 3 to the draft and pick up Lachie Ash.

Agreed, and i suspect they'd be at least likely to let us know that in exchange for a good deal with Billy to help our Langdon negotiations. usually i think you're better off being good to deal with at the trade table and teams normally pay you back for that, but with the dockers are last off season i don't mind milking them a little bit more.

I don't think you can in any official way, but i think it's a regular thing unoffically, in terms of not bidding on players etc. more of a handshake type situation

As others have suggested i don't mind the idea of basically giving the Suns Billy Stretch in exchange for not taking Langdon PSD and just bending the Dockers over with this one, third round or nothing.

The Weagles are going to have to do something because Geelong would love to get their hands on the two top 10 picks the Dockers are going to have.

we saw little bursts of how good he can be for us, we just need him to turn up to pre season in great shape, have a complete pre season and hit the season hard, injury free, i'm confident he will, and if he does i'm confident he will have an All Australian standard season

I thinK Richo is the person to ask for sure, if he'd be a good get i'm sure RIcho would have gone in to bat for him.

Personally all for the idea of trading our future first round pick if that can get us a second selection in the first round this year. if we could somehow wrangle a pick between 7-9 for our future first and something else perhaps we could get Lachie Ash and Hayden Young/Sam Flanders/Brodie Kemp

I"m thinking the club thinks Harry Petty is ready to step up and is a bit more reliable. this does however leave me with serious concerns for the speed of our backline. Frost seemed to be important in that way, keeping some of the small defenders honest on ground level.

I think Petracca cops a lot of unfair critisism. this season he was ranked in the top 5 general forwards all year, and right up the pointy end for forward half ground ball gets and scoring assists. fair effort in a team that finished 17th. he's doing fine. as his tank builds he'll spend more time in the middle but i think often what he does goes unnoticed which is unfortunate

we've in a better position over the Giants because they want to prevent bids on Green. we could probably get a better outcome overall from them, however i personally am leaning towards the idea of hanging onto pick 3 and drafting Lachie Ash.

Ash to me is exactly what we need, Half back with speed, composure, and a beautiful long kick, he loves to take the game on. if you've got him and Salem on the flanks our kicking out of the back half suddenly looks a hell of a lot better. and Hibbo either has a hard time holding his spot or potentially could make the move further up the ground to a wing.

Hall mark of the Tigers side is the forward half speed and pressure, and we don't really have much of that. we've got 3 pretty handy medium forwards in Fritsch, Track and Melk.. Tommy who's good but needs support, Weideman who needs to step up and probably one position open for a small forward if we can find one.

Personally i think Lachie Ash, but the smokey i'd consider is Flanders who i think is going to be very good player. young also ticks a lot of boxes. it's really him or Ash for me.

I still think we lack a chase, tackle key forward, with speed. Elliot is a dangerous player but someone like a Dan Butler to compliment him would be handy.

Depends on the team, Rowell is a safer option, but Anderson i think is more talanted. sadly Suns get both.

Was always going to happen.

I think he could potentially become our Tom Lynch (Crows) and link up the ground and kick the ball inside 50. could help our inside 50's quite a lot

I think given the profile of our list we are probably in a good position to wait as well, teams like the Suns are probably relying a little bit more on draftees to make a big impact quickly

I think if not for his injury he'd probably be a top 6 pick, and with that in mind i think we should seriously consider him if we do decide to split the pick

I am going to be in the minority here and say we made some massive mistakes in our 2019 pre season, injuries hurt us badly, and as a result the tougher fixture became even tougher. if we can correct those mistakes, get a finals game plan up and running again, keep our good players on the park for full pre season, with the benefit of a good fixture i think we can play finals in 2020.

Surely.. we are better off backing Sam Weideman in than chasing JJ He's a million years old and doesn't even play as a key forward. at least Weid has some talent and a future at the level if he can put it together.

All the best Trenners, fantastic bloke and such a shame it's ended this way fingers crossed the Suns give him one last crack

Like i said, i'm not for this, but this club is not ruthless like a Hawthorn, and i suspect that's why we haven't won a flag in a million years. we should look at every single opportunity to gain an advantage at the trade table.
