Sounds like what they might be after.

If the holdup for us is Sydney wanting more than 32 for Jones is there a chance the true roadblock is Dodo and Essendon?
Just speculating. Doubt it's the case
I'd love pick 51 or 58. I'd take pick 44 if push came to shove.
After Bruce & Keath. If we have picks: 13 and two of 44, 51 & 58 (89 probably not used). My assumption is just use two draft picks and upgrade La Young. With that the question I have then is whether there's friendly draft points trades to go up the draft order, there's plenty opportunity out there. Or offer one third rounder for a third rounder next year. There's plenty of time for Sam Power to assess that question.
How does all this though leave us with accumulating draft points for the guys we are into next year?
If the Crows continue to play hard ball I’d love for us to offer 13 (+maybe something late if needed) for Keath and McHenry.
McHenry was high on our radar and was walked through Whiten oval but was taken by the Crows at 16, clearly as a best available rather than needs based. They seem like they have someone in mind for our 13 and McHenry is at this point probably surplus to their needs.
Some on here would have seen more of him than me, but it sounds like he could take up the forward pressure role and he has a big enough tank to spend time on the wing.
Edit: It’s one of life’s great mysteries why I posted about the Keath trade on the Bruce thread. :confused:
Lethlean still playing hard ball by the sounds. Unlike Keath, Bruce has a contract for another year.
Saints now have 58 from Jack Steven. Opens up a trade avenue:
Saints get: Picks 32 & 53
Dogs get: Bruce & Pick 58
Leaves 45, 51 & 58 to work on Keath.
All the noise suggests Bruce will be done before Keath.
All we have to do is satisfy the Swans for the Zac Jones trade.
