Don’t be surprised if we trade it for a 1st rounder next year. Plenty of clubs will be chasing it even at 25 to get deals done. Gold Coast swapped pick 11 this year for a similar range pick in the 20s last year from Geelol to get Sharp.

2020 AFL Draft

Great strategy mr P.
3 clubs could be looking to downgrade the 1st pick
Dogs for Ugle
Blues for Saad
Dons for Caldwell.
I,d be keen to trade for qn early first rounder
#lolnorf would be desperate to get into this years draft, but they delisted most of their players n have nothing much left to trade with.
I know it's probably harsh, perhaps even cruel on the boys but #lolnorf would be the ideal club to try n steer a Lego or Higlett to in a trade for some of their future picks.
#lolnorf get some ready made young players who've come from a high quality system n we'd get some quality early picks next year, as there's not going to be much of anything in this years draft but massive speculation. Win win for both mobs.
I think you are right, there won't be many teams willing to flip at the minimum 1st round picks next year. The Dogs are still an option with later picks IMO, in order to pick up a few more points for JUH.
North may well want to split some picks (not Pick 2) as they only have 3 picks inside the top 60. They will get one back for Brown, but they've already dropped so many from their list. Now they could topup with players delisted by other clubs before they planned to because of the drop in list sizes, think players like Fraser Turner, or they may be prepared to split picks. If we can use the Higgins trade to get us a pick between 20-30 then I'd be looking to trade up to either Carltons (they need to split their pick for the Bombers), North or the Dogs (to get more points for JUH).
Again, I've seen nothing this year besides highlights and my own research so my thoughts count for even less than normal.
Cox athletically is a like not many we've seen before. Extraordinary athlete for 200cm and 80kgs. Running ability like a mid, 6.05 for 2km.
But name me a player he compares to? If he ends up 205cm and 90kgs can he be a ruck considering he has had limited time there.
Can he be a tall defender like Harris Andrews? Does he turn into a tall forward like Joe Daniher? Does he become the first 2 meter wingman?
I don't know. I think defender is his best go. He's exciting but I'm glad it won't be us fighting it out. And he sure as hell isn't a Noah Balta.
All the more reason to pitch for the Blues 7.
No way do they use it for Saad, they want to knock it down to 15.
Our first this year plus ....
Pay overs if we have to, its our best shot at a low pick for the next 5 years
Collingwood trading their next years' 1st rounder so they won't have to use it on Nick Daicos who will likely be a top 3 selection.
Maybe we can offer to take Treloar off their hands for THEIR 1st round pick
Love it. It probably won't happen but this is exactly what we need to be doing. & to be fair none of those trades are asking for unrealistic outcomes either.
Our list management is in fantastic shape but realistically KPP's both forward & back & elite mids are what we need to ensure we don't go down a hole with Cotchin, Martin, Astbury, Riewoldt going down. Exactly the types of positions we'd want to use some early picks on
Port apparently next year have a academy/zone kid so are open to trading it.
Plus they need a pick for Fantasia. Their r2 isnt enough.
But our r1 which will be 25 +
So trade our first this year for Ports first next year. And maybe some later round swaps to even it out.
We then get 2 first rounders next year, ours and Ports, in a strong draft year.
Port get Orazio without overpaying
The rules for academy picks change next year, academy players bid on inside top 20 go to that club so no point Port trading next years' 1st rounder IMO and certainly not with us.
