Trade out this years draft picks
- Thread starter thomas the tiger
- Start date
But apparently Rance doesn't want to play footy anymore. Some journalist said so, so must be true.
For mine, trade to get whatever pick needed so we can target the best KPD in the draft, and then everything else should be targeted towards stockpiling future picks. This draft we need to play the long game.
It is reported that after the first two players (who are standouts) picks 3-30 are reasonably even with plenty of midfielders on offer.
Down side is not many quality kp players in that pick range.
We could do with another quality midfielder.
Keath a kp defender from the Crows has been floated as a possibility to move clubs this year, has shown reasonable form this year but has some back related issues.
If Ellis goes and we get an end of first round compensation pick we will have options for trade or picks.

Might be an opportunity to bank a future pick as insurance against an opposition bid on Rioli Jnr.
He’s currently tracking at a r4 selection so that won’t be bothering us a great deal
Pick 18 and 36 should be put on the table for a top 10 pick next year. Target hawthorn that need young players for their first round next year. Could be between 4 /8 next year.
Our last 3 years of picks around 36 mark; Ross 43, Naish 34, Bolton 29. Not sure we should throw away an important pick like that bundled up with 18. Pick 18 last 3 years; Duursma, Starceivc, Powell-Pepper. Would we trade right now a Higgins (drafted @ 17) and Ross (drafted @ 43) for next year's Pick 10? Doesn't sound like a good deal to me.
Agree we have pulled some good picks with late 2 round. But my original point is that we so much good depth at this stage do we really need two new players at pick 18,36 or 54 this year. I would rather trade them for a pick 6 to 10 in next years draft and get an elite player. You can now trade future year picks. The Afl have some points ratings so not sure if this equates to a fair deal.
I will get howled down but have no problem keeping Menadue, markov, Townsend etc on the list for another year or two. I think it would actually strengthen club morale and culture.
I also think that given the depth of our list trade up and get a top 10 pick. Use our fringe players who want greater opportunities and those we need to trade for salary cap reasons to get it done
We talk about the quality of our later picks but the Martin Cotchin Jack and Rance are the cream that others struggle to control
