Port: 13, 36 DVI (51 & 53) - for - 18 (Howard & Ryder), 29
Dogs: Bruce (29), 18 & keep 32 - for - 13, 51 & 53
Swans: 29 - for - Zak Jones
Saints: Jones, Howard, Ryder - for - Bruce/Pick 29, Pick 18
Port get a pick in before 18 where F/S Mead may be bid, and pick 36 in points still cover Mead with later 60’s picks. Ensures them 3 x 1sts (inc. Mead). They should sign on to this.
Dogs get Bruce for a trade down 13 to 18, 51 & 53. I'm happy.
Swans apparently happy to take this aspect of the deal
Saints flip Bruce into Zak Jones, and use pick 18 on Howard & Ryder. Apparently happy with the Bruce pick aspect.
Assuming I'm remotely close, three clubs are happy to sign off and Port has no reason not to be happy or not sign off.
Before dogs: 13, 32, 44, 51 & 53, 89
After dogs: 18, 32, 44, 89 & Bruce
Keath Option 1: Pick 44 - Picks 18, 32, 89 & Bruce, Keath
Keath Option 2: Pick 32 - Picks 18, 44, 89 & Bruce, Keath
Keath Option 3: Picks 18 & 44 - Picks 23 & 49 - Picks 23, 32, 49, 89 & Bruce, Keath. (Picks 32, 49 = DVI 21. Freo may be open to trade 22 we can find a Pick 60'ish pick to add more points to a 130-150 point win. If we can find it: Picks 22 & 23, 89 Bruce & Keath)
