I guess he could refuse to tour other clubs but it's in our interest to get this deal done
I can't see how they can hold him

Even if that four club trade doesn’t proceed. After Port get 18 there’s a straight forward draft pick/points trade:
Exchanging 18 & 29 - for - 13 & 36 DVI (51 & 53) - Port ahead on 1st round and overall draft points (76), score 3 x 1sts at the draft. Pick 29 to Bruce, for us, so the cost is the first round downgrade and two third rounders.
Seems a genuine win-win draft picks/points trade if we aren’t locked in on a player at 13 not likely to be there 18.
My head hurts BT...just tell me when to open the wine!!
I’m a little slow, I just realised I echoed the good point you made...
I wonder, does Green, Henry, McGuiness & Mead likely pushing teen pick down the order impact our value on the pick. Green could force us down to 14. I’ve seen Henry & Mead as possible before. Then we have pick 16. I’ve seen Mead as possibly going before. So theoretically we could have pick 17 just holding pick 13. Trade trade moves it 18 down to 22 after matched bids. How does that impact value of the pick?
Or if Sam Landsberger story on King is accurate, do we trade pick 18 and then have two first rounders next year to go for King (running a big deficit on points next year). If our first rounder is compromised this year is it worth flipping for options next year?
On your point on KPDs, I think you’re right two are set for Footscray. Wood the mid sized and Crozier plays taller. Two flankers.
I don’t endorse this, but this is afel.com.au solution
Dogs: 13, 32 & 53 to Cows
Dogs: 23, 28 & Keath from Cows
Dogs: 28 to Saints for Bruce
Before Picks: 13, 32, 44, 51, 53 & 89
After Picks: 23, 44, 51 & 89 —- Bruce & Keath
Trengove wasn’t recruited for FB but once it was clear defence was his only way into senior footy for us he was pretty good. How was the job he did on Lynch? His one on one stats are very impressive. Just don’t watch him taking a short option.
Only loses his spot for the last 2 games because he had to punch hit in the ruck against GWS. He was seriously stiff.
Based on this though, you get the feeling he’s the general back up (Ruck / FB) and if no injuries / form issues for the other bigs he’ll play at Footscray.
I think if we have to deal our pick 13 to get the deals done then maybe Brisbane is the team to talk to
We offer them 13 and 51 for their picks 21 and 34. The DVI is close
We then deal picks 34 and 53 to the Crows for Keath and pick 49 and hold firm on pick 32 for the Saints
We go into the draft with pick 21, 45 and 49
I suspect though that we will hold firm on our position of keeping pick 13
