I think Smith should be moved on but he was given every opportunity to play so he appears more likely to get a contract than not.

I suspect it will look like this:
Mitch Wallis

Lin Jong
Brad Lynch UPGRADE
Billy Gowers UPGRADE
Roarke Smith UPGRADE

Not sure if Curnow was even on our radar, however.
Hopefully Dunks maintains and improves on his form. If he does, and turns into an out and out A-grade player which he has the potential to do then it won't hurt as much.
I heard from a (pretty informed) blues fan that curnow wasn’t on anyone’s radar after a drink driving incident pre draft. It was only after his brother pleaded his case that they gave him a proper look. Worked out ok for them, but I agree we wouldn’t have taken him with 11.

You may be right, but that's wrong of the club. Honeychurch can't play, so let's just end it. Smith must be a darling, if he gets a promotion or retain. He's done close to nothing. We know these guys ceiling, a late pick could be worse, same or maybe better. But I'm comforted by the fact there's still time to delist both.

It's a consideration but I'd back us to pick the right types that can handle relocations.
Andrew Purser and Murray Rance went home! :cool:

Yep. Tend to agree.

Goes to show how beautifully Hawthorn played the Luce Hodge thing. One day Hodge is retired the next day Hawthorn are getting a draft pick for him.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Cal Twomey has Rhylee West as pick 14 now, was 18, then 16 so clearly he continues to impress. Ross Lyons unique ability to coach a team down the ladder toward the end of the season could cost us as Twomey's tipped picks 7 and 8 both being Sydney and North academy players respectively.

If this is accurate (and swans trade picks) we could end up with pick 9! I'm dead keen on Izak Rankine, but no chance we'll land
him there.

Despite the super draft tag, I'd be more than comfortable to look at trading the pick for an established player if we aren't confident of landing a player we really want. At the moment we appear to be out of the running to land one of those more fancied players.

I agree. Better off giving up a decent pick for McGovern say than a player earlier in the draft who is an unknown.

This is a good point and while I agree, all my mail has McGovern going to Blues. He toured their facilities months ago.

Agree 100%. More than happy to trade in established quality - though I’d only want Shiel or Gaff of the players on the table so far. All mail has McGovern to blues who have pick 1 and Adelaide are desperate to land this jack lukosciois kid. The last thing we need is another tall marking forward when our clearances are under such intense duress and our delivery into the forward line is dreadful. If we can muster some magic and get a quality outside mid with leg speed and deadly disposal by foot then trade away. If there’s a chance at Rankine w our pick then draft.
Side point, really interested to see what our clearance quality (not count) will be like if Tim english can play 20 games next year.

Curtis Taylor not in the top 20? Interesting. If he tests remotely ok for endurance at the combine I'd certainly consider.
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Connor Rozee keeps climbing up the rankings too.
Right now he's slotted at pick 9
I could see us taking him.
Seems to have similar attributes to Rankine. 5cm taller too.
Anyone think Rozee is on our radar?
Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Would anyone be adverse to trading our first rounder this year and next year for Josh Kelly?

Happy to throw in Mitch Honeychurch with that deal as well.
