Looking like we'll have a pick in the 5-8 range at this rate(if not better). With all the talk that we'll be after a gun mid from up north do we think we'll trade away our earliest pick we've had for a few years or will we use it on a elite junior from this years crop. Thoughts?

Bit early to go on this - I remember this topic came up early last year also

Considering that Trengove was even in the mix for our first pick last year, I fear who the list managers will target at the end of the year. Our first pick should only be given up for Shiel, Treloar or Hannebury. I wouldn't be surprised if we targeted another B grader to be honest.

If he'll still have us, yep. Pick 4 for Shiel, Vickery for Crozier, Hardwick for Bassett.

Danger and Leuenberger free agents and Henderson for our 2nd rounder or Conca

Big list changes required at the end of the season.

Shiel, S. Selwood and one other at season's end…will mean aggressive trading.

Hannebery is too old to be worth a top 5 pick.

You get 25+ year olds via Free Agency these days, not by trading away top 5 picks.
