I wonder if this is the reason Stringer is exploring trade with GWS and Hind delisting
It has been mentioned as the reason why they haven’t entertained a contract extension
They are after Fos
Or they trying to Roughhead us like hawthorn did in 04.
When we bragged about Roughhead and Deledio leading into the draft.
So hawthorn stooged us by choosing Roughhead with their 1st pick causing us to select Tambling with our 2nd and then them getting Franklin at pick 5.

Maybe its Smilly he idolises Cripps
I hope we can see through their BS and at pick 1 choose the player we were always going to pick

I hope thats who they are after. I reckon he's the biggest risk of the players suggested as top 10 players.
Its rare to have a player of his size make it in the midfield. Sure the upside is huge IF he can increase his tank, if he can, then his size and kicking ability makes him a very good mid, but if he can't get that tank up (and his recorded yoyo was poor, then you'd think he'd end up at 1 end of the ground but marking isn't his strong point. Massive boom or bust with Smillie IMO.
Agreed, if they are attempting a FOStrike at pick 3 it makes sense... But then what?
Campo twins may be as late as the 40s.
So maybe they'll just take a deficit. Not certain when that is recovered, considering theyve traded out of 25. Is it deducted from their 26 first?
Which other club would bite tho? Maybe Port to keep them home. Crows will have their late picks used for Welsh
They are saying Smillie but they want Fos or Lalor.
We should be doing the same 'we love Reid's game and his application to the game blah blah" then select someone else.
We need to be top secret in this draft.
Give no indication who we are after, with None of our selections.
So NMFC wants Houston and is prepared to trade down to Pick #9 to get him, according to the latest media scuttlebutt. (Fairfax.) I hadn't thought about what else Esserdun might have to offer.
Yesterday the rumour from Fox was that Port had taken him off the table. Probably true and a rebuff of the Carlton and Collingwood bids.
Thursfield has been rumoured to have pick #2 on the table for yonks. The notion that he's in love with Tauru is plausible. I've never ruled Jason Taylor out of Tauru but I just can't get a read on him ATM other than @spook's insight that he wants FOS.
Is Essendon a suitor for Clarrie? Are they offering #9 for Clarrie? If so #5 (Tauru) and #9 (Houston) gets #2.

AFL.com.au's Cal Twomey reported on Sunday night that the Dees are set to get Essendon's pick 9, with the Bombers happy to part with the pick in case it gets swallowed up by a bid for star NGA prospect Isaac Kako on draft night.
In return, Twomey is reporting the Bombers will get Melbourne's picks 28 and 40 this year plus its future first-round pick in 2025, with other later picks expected to change hands as well.

We could have slipped out later picks for Kako points, then Picks 20 and p24 for it.
They get a bonus of a late 1st and an early 2nd use either one of those picks and points to use if needed.
We get pick 9.
Good deal by essendon I say...
Likelihood is Melbourne's 25 rnd 1 will be in a similar range...
Received 28 and 40 odd on top...
Stress free about academy pick...
Melbourne seem to have a trade up strategy...
They traded up last yr too.
They seem to think...
Use the top end of the draft for elite talent...
Get your role players anywhere...
Will see if it works for them.

Like us they have solid role players - Rivers, Mcvee etc but have ageing stars.
Its a good approach they are taking
