Yes. Mission accomplished if we end up with either Hobbs or Ward.
Hobbs by all accounts is ready to go next year.

Hobbs by all accounts is ready to go next year.
There is no chance in any way that tigers draft jvr with the 7th live pick.
Yes, he's a tough onballer. Strong at the contest, tackles hard and I like his defensive side too.
Now how do we get pick 3.
Gold Coast want that pick split.
Pick 7 has to be thrown in. Does it get packaged with 15 or would we get away with Pick 26?

Easy. Cholly n 7 for 3. It's about time they looked after us a bit after they've pinched Snipper, Bobble, Jar Head n Lego off us over the last few years.
I would be disappointed to trade up and get Hobbs to be honest. Solid player but I prefer Ward from what I have seen.
I watched the Qld vs Tas U19 game and was impressed by the two Tas. onballers. Davis and Walter. I know a little about Davis he is tough, a ball magnet and young but the knock on him was speed (11.2). Walter looked better, fast and a very good kick, almost won it for Tas. in the last. Is there anyone on the Board who knows something about this kid? Would put him ahead of Bohdi on first glance.
Pick 3 value is 2234
Pick 7 value is 1644
Difference is 590 or pick 30/31
We can keep pick 7. Gold Coast has picks 19 and 22
If we get 20 from Norf for CCJ and we trade with Bulldogs for their 17 we could do 15 + 17 + 20 for 3 + 22 close to similar points marginally in GC favour.
Gives us 3, 7, 22, 26, 28
Bulldogs trade would take 40 and 44 plus either the Chol compo if it is end second round or pick 28. Also need a late pick for Tarrant
The big question TP is why goldie want to do the swap?
By reports they are not delisting heavily. Will only take in the minimum changes.
Do they not rate the top tier?
Or it's a furphy and they'll only trade for a current player or pick next year?
Or have someone in mind that will be available later? I'm thinking it's Conway or Williams from WA or both. That's what I'm hoping
Is it purely about points or more to do with getting a couple of first rounds picks because the draft is fairly even?
Dont know why GC would want to trade. There has been media reports that thry are interested in dealing.
We can only go off our own investigation into the draft hopefuls this year. We do need to reset the list with an eye to the next 10 years and post the current stars. And we did load up on picks for this year. So we rate our chances this year.
With that in mind we should get as many high end picks we can. I am also open to bringing next year's pick forward to this year given we will be set to go for top 4 next year. We can maxmise the value of next year's pick given everyone else thinks the era is over.
We are only guessing in this thread. Going to be interesting how we unfold our plan. Can see a chance at multiple top 20 picks.
Good question and thankfully we have some proven recruiters to answer the question.
Even if the 5 to 30 picks are considered pretty much equal it pays to have early picks so you can pick from the greater pool and not getting the left overs. You know like the picking teams at school
I don't quite get Gold Coasts plans either as they already have a fairly full list.
I assume the will to trade means that the priority pick at the end of the 1st round is not heading to the GC (which is good for everyone else.), but even without that they have, 3, 22, 43 and 55. Maybe they won't use either of the late ones and still want 3 picks in the draft.
I still think a trade for Adelaides pick 4 makes a bit more sense than Pick 3 for both teams. The Adelaide in particular, may not require the need for Pick 7 which may not be the case with the Gold Coast one.
Ideally we want Pick 7 and one of 3 or 4.
