And we don't? We might as well buy another half back flanker while we are at it.

The cutoff for the mid-season draft nominations is today. An article below listing some of the players who have nominated.
On a tangent, has anyone worked out why we decided to Rookie Khamis instead of getting as a Category B Rookie and getting a free hit in the supplementary picks period?
On the surface it feels badly managed and it is a shame we didn’t take a stab at any of those on this list (or the others like Stack who did get taken by other clubs). For a club that has had ridiculous success with Rookie picks it just doesn’t make sense.

Likewise. I did like last years off season from Power with the exception of this one move. I fail to see how it benefits us having him as category a rookie. The only upside is that we don't have to promote him to play him, but considering how raw he is and the high likelihood we will have a long term injury anyway i fail to see how this is worth sacrificing a list spot for.
List spots are worth their weight in gold and I am disappointing we threw one away so cheaply.
Ben Keays with another 4 goals in the NEAFL - can't seem to get near the Brisbane 22 and we were keen on him in his draft year, which I imagine holds all the more true now that hes ~versatile~. We could seriously use the type of player he's been at seconds level too.
With the Boyd announcement, would we potentially be into Patton? Risky, but he might come relatively cheap.
There was suggestions that the Hawks were sniffing around him, talk of another GWS salary dump, and I could be wrong but weren't we heavily into him until he did his first ACL (and then we moved to Boyd)?
No to Patton, no to 2MP.
Unless they are dominating at their current club, I don't want to spend the war chest.

Let's do it - offer him more
I want De Goey. He's out of contract next year and reading between the lines he's willing to play for cash if the team offering it isn't North Melbourne. He's cool and sick and everything we don't have.
I consider him an exception to the "no trading top picks" doctrine and would give up two of them for him.
De Goey, Moore, Elliott with contracts about to expire next year. All fit a need for us.
If there was nothing better available would we consider Josh Jenkins at the right (low) price? Currently in the SANFL so a third rounder should do.
Not a great player but could help Naughton out for a couple of years and provide relief rucking.
