Any suggestions on who that might be Doc?

Picks 13, 51, 53 - for - Pick 18 & Bruce.
A 5 pick downgrade in the first round and two end of third rounders for Bruce, a 35-50 goal a year contested marking KPF. I'd do that in a heart beat. The flow on is us still holding Picks 32 & 44 for Keath.
We won't have pick 13 though. With Green, Henry and maybe Mead of McGuinness, we will have Pick 15-17. The last draft report I read said between 15 & 30 there's a blanket you can throw over good players. Whether it's 17 or 22, I'm sure some players we like slide. I don't see a five pick downgrade as a big issue while still having a first rounder and Bruce secured, and 32 still in our draft bag.
We will soon see. Maybe...
We aren't going to get those players anyway. Our position changes by number but not really by actual draft order
Good option by Essendon
ESSENDON looms as Aiden Bonar's last resort of finding a new club during this year's Telstra AFL Trade Period, as the wantaway Giant seeks a return home to Victoria.
AFL.com.au understands Bonar met with the Bombers regarding a potential move on Monday, having previously received little interest during the exchange period.
However, the youngster is no guarantee to ultimately land at Tullamarine, given Essendon is tied up in a number of other deals that remain in limbo heading into deadline day.
It is still attempting to block star forward Joe Daniher's move to Sydney, while it is also trying to seal trades for Brisbane defender Tom Cutler and Carlton ruckman Andrew Phillips.
AFL.com.au reported in May that Bonar had been placed on the trade table by the Giants, but that his contract – believed to be worth upwards of $400,000 per season – would be the stumbling block in the talented 20-year-old finding a new home in October.
Bonar, recruited to the Giants with pick No.11 in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft, has managed just six games in two seasons after struggling to crack a supremely talented Giants midfield.
That midfield will also be strengthened further next season by the return of co-captain Callan Ward from injury, while Academy gun Tom Green is also set to land at the club.
A well-built onballer at 188cm and 87kg, Bonar has played both forward and through the midfield with the Giants. His junior career was hampered by successive ACL injuries.
He is contracted with the Giants for a further two years until 2021.
Essendon currently has picks No.31, 33, 57, 65, 70 and 88 to work with. - Riley Beveridge
Sam Mclure has just tweeted that the Brad Hill trade will get done
Brad Hill trade agreed to in principle.
Fremantle will receive 10, a future second rounder and Blake Acres (if he agrees to go). Pick from Jack Steven could also be involved.
Either way, Saints will get their man.
I’m hearing through my network of completely unsubstantiated sources - that the majority of trades are all agreed to by clubs. The AFL is just delaying them for the theatre of closing trade week.
My no. 1 question if this is true - why the hell make it 10 days then?
Daniher will be interesting
I didn't think he was a chance to get to us until Melbourne traded for pick 8.
They've been open about looking for a small forward and Weightman is the best available. Pick 13 may be the sweet spot for a slider as the draft is seen as pretty even after the first couple.
