i know I'm alone here but I would be ok trading 10 & 11 for pick 2, it prevents Carlton from taking O'Sullivan and probably pushes Smillie up to pick 3. That gives Richmond Smith / Langford at pick 6 and lands us 3 A grade talents. I like the depth at 10 & 11 but all of those players aren't purebred mids, I think in the scheme of things finding a rebounder like Travaglia or a utility like Lindsay not an impossible task in future drafts. Finding another athletic speedster with elite kicking is a different story, I consider this to be one of the more elusive parts when formulating a winning combination.The Port/GWS/North trade sounds like it would be a complicated one. I've come up with:
Rich - Give 10 & 11; Get 2
PA - Give 13 & 29; Get 10 & F2/3
GWS - Give 16 & 21; Get 11 & 29
NM - Give 2 & F2/3; Get 13, 16 & 21
North then trade two of those picks for Saints' 7 or 8. Saints can't be involved in the original trade as their purportedly making their own bid for Pick 2.
Not sure if I like this trade - what do others think?
Alternatively, being a fan site it is my duty to propose:
Rich - Give 10, F2 & F4; Get 2, 13, 16, maybe a couple of F1s
PA, GWS & NM - who cares?
