We might do better with FA compensation anyway.
After our first pick? Is that how it works. Ergo if we don't have a pick until 20 is the best we can expect 21?

It?s the natural pick prior pick trades so the current Gold Coast pick we gave them.

It’s currently pick 9.

Any chance we can pry Darcy away from Freo as part of an English trade?

Might actually be a win win for both clubs, English would be more of a natural forward than Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson, and perfect to give Jackson a chop out, as we have plenty of tall forwards (imagine thinking that 15 years ago) but need a Sean Darcy type in the ruck.

Yes and I would even give they back Lobb for free.
Re: Tim English - What Price do you pay?
On the Monday Means Test on SEN, Gerard said he would hold off on the contract offer for Big Chill for the next six weeks. The broader media are starting to take notice of his failings, and it will be very interesting to see his response on Thursday. Livid or Timid?

Yep. Most of us have known it for years. He's great around the ground but a mostly terrible and timid ruck.

I mean, I'd be on the phone offering them Lobb now without condition.

You may be right in the end... But this isn't a salary dump.
The only real comparative trades for AA level talent who were out of contract:
Tim Taranto (2022) - for picks 12 and 19
Luke Jackson (2022) - for picks 13, f1 , f2
Jeremy Cameron (2020) plus 2 2nd rounders - 13, 15, 20
I think we should be expecting a lot.
Re: Tim English - What Price do you pay?
It doesn't get any easier this week for Tim.
Marshall is just as athletic but more aggressive than English.
Normally Mashall has his way with English.

Hand on heart, I'd rather Lobb as our no 1 ruckman on $500k in 2025 over English on $1m, with Marra and Smith locked away on new contracts.
I know this particular bandwagon would have a lot of spare seats.
