I think we should stick to our guns for the moment. Still just under 4 hours to go.

Yep. We could try to see if Port will draft trade 29 & 68 - for - 45, 51 & 53. (Port 127 points up)
Then offer 32 (29 for Bruce so they get more than 32...) and a future 4th (bugger all points) - for - Keath & future 3rd (much more points). That's as generous as I could get.
Leaves us Pick 13, 68 & upgrade La Young -- Bruce, Keath, 2020 3rd
The original picks, in effect: 45 gets Keath, 51 gets us a future Cows third, 53 downgrades to 68. So we just cop the 53>68 downgrade. But the other third rounders get what we intended. The Cows can bang on getting a pick around 30 and St Kilda getting a top 30 pick.
Cleary and Barrett saying Bruce gets done soon enough.
Landsberger saying Sydney want more than 32 for Jones, and that's the hold up. Perhaps exchange picks 51 & 56.
Bruce & 56, for, Picks 32 & 51. Seems a fair compromise.
32 for Jones is about spot on.
Oh I agree entirely. He runs in straight lines with next to zero awareness.
I'm really ok with us holding on Bruce. Hopefully though it hasn't cost us any other deals. But i have faith in our team to be across what they need to.
Who is with Sam doing the negotiations? Granty?
Would Bevo have much input in the negotiations?
