He had one game back from injury, very strange.

Is he really worth pick 8-10?
Our first with Gold Coast's late first (18/19) coming back to us?
I'd love to try and trade for both GWS first rounders and offer the later one for Jack Martin with a future 3rd or 4th coming back to us.
Jack simply shouldn't have been playing last week due to injury. If anything it shows he cares about playing. I really think he's the type who would play better in a better side - not dissimilar to Sam Lloyd who lacks Martin's pace and overhead ability.
Do they need more draft picks? I'd be trying to satisfy them with a player deal. They need big bodied inside mids. We have a surplus it appears. Mitch / Lin springs to mind as hard as that is to throw up. We may need to sweeten the deal, but I'd prefer that scenario I think.
Mitch just signed a new deal and Jongy has bugger all collateral.
Well we aren't talking Dangerfield. They would be fringe players who want regular senior games. If we look back over the last two seasons players like Miles, Hombsch , Ellis, Horlin-Smith, Collins, Lachie Weller, Harrison Wigg, Aaron Young. It's not a who's who granted, but players will go there if they see it as an option for senior football regularly it seems.
I take your point for sure, but I can't be as dismissive of the idea of players instead of picks.
So who else are you going to put up? I can't see us palming Mitch off when we just signed him up. We just wouldn't do it and I don't think we should. If you're talking players who would you send up there to appease them in a player swap involving Martin? Victorian boy and Premiership player McLean? Assuming Williams is going home...
I think we can pretty much say that Dicko, Suckers, Dale and R Smith have close to zero collateral as well so it has to be someone good.
