Given the top 6 is so even I’m not sure they’d consider an offer of 10 & 18. Any surprise in the top 6 picked and they’re in prime position
Our next best would be to offer 10 11
Thats overs for pick 7 if Sinners expect that
FWIW I am being told there is a big chance Adelaide will overlook Draper and take Langford.
I am fairly sure we want Fos and Lalor and it’s only going to happen if we get pick 2…
Essentially New Chimp and New Dusty….
I think we also want Jagga/Langford/Smilie at 6… hence the trial VFL requests…
To achieve this you would think we would have to get Saints pick 7.
Trade 10 and 20 to Saints for pick 7.
Then offer North 7 and 18 for pick 2…. Bc they need to deal.. and we agree to not pick Tarau.
We end up with 1,2,6,11,23,24
Saints have 8,10,20
Personally I think Carlton go Draper in this scenario @Dyer'ere has Jagga to Adelaide at 4….. then Melbourne… only threat to North…. At 5…. Dunno??
Reckon North get The Viking and Trainor.
We get either Langford or Smillie at 6.
Or something akin to this…
I’d still like to keep a 10 or 11 (Lindsey/Berry/Armstrong)however if we are going Cadman next year then the trade 6/11 for 2/F1 makes sense…. and we keep 18…

Stan

I never mentioned i have a source , I seen it posted elsewhere and noticed it had not hit this forum and wanted to share it.
Maybe if you shared it then i wouldnt have
Thats a hell of a lot of assets to give up for a player we rate 2nd best in this draft that has shown little to indicate he is even really worth a top 5 spot in the last 3 years of draft picks. FOS is not an 18 year old Reid , McKercher , JHF , Sheezel
Pick #10 could be Travaglia #20 possibly JWhitlock and #18 Shannahan
Shannahan , JWhitlock , Travaglia all for FOS ?
Respect your work Stan but that's a no, no, no from me.
Think about it this way. The draft is set up to provide every club with one first-round pick.
Matched bids and compensation picks mean that some clubs are lucky enough to have two picks in the first round.
You might even have three picks if you get a first-rounder for a want-away player.
In seasons past, two or three picks in the first round was your club's ticket to a significant upgrade of the list.
We have an unprecedented seven picks in the first round of a draft that is considered to run deep into the 20s with high quality talent, plus we have the first pick of the second round.
I reckon you'd need to have your head read if you gave up even one of those picks unless it was for a significant climb up the order (or tipping a first-rounder into next season).
We currently have holes everywhere. We actually need eight quality players coming into the place.
This is a deep draft at the right time for us, and we have massive collateral.
I wouldn't imperil a single one of our picks without consequential upside.
The mail is strong, Stan, that Blair is in discussions with Port about 10 and 13. It's almost a fact.
And there has been scuttlebutt about Blair and GWS 15. Your take is logical. Unless Blair is working on a few little deals to maximise what we get back. And to ensure we don't overpay.
I think you're spot on about Blair trying to get 2 and keep 11. Once we lock that trade in we know a lot about the first ten. Your mail that it was Lalor ahead of FOS for RFC looked then and now deadset prophetic.
The deals look like they'll be more intricate than we first thought. But pick #2. You know exactly why we want it.
The GWS part is a mystery to me
I was thinking something like
10 for 13 and 29 with Port
7 for 11 and 20 with St Kilda
7 and 18 with North for 2 ( for north 7 is probably as good as 6 if they trust we won't pick Tauru)
we would have 1,2,6,11,23, 24, 29
10,18,20 for 2 and 29 would be the net result. Trade 23 or 24 for an F1 and a later 2024 pick and keep 7 picks
I could live with that hand. I think its a certainty that we trade some picks, we will leave at least 1 spot for the rookie draft and potentially 1 for the SSP (and I expect we trial 3-4 players).
1,2,6 and 13 would give us 4 excellent players, what we do with 23 and 24 I'm not sure. Would we slide back? Trade into next year? A mix of both? We'd have plenty of options.
I still stand by it but the deal with north of 2 and f1 for 6 and 18 is a win win. Big improvement for north to pick up taru and trainor.
