Perhaps we wont trade at all this year? Clear out a few to clear up list space and draft our way out of trouble.
I was pretty happy with our trading last year, giving up little save for Stevens who is 21 anyway.
We have tended to get more value out of later pick trades (eg. Hudson) over higher pick trades (Rawlings) anyway.

I should leave it alone but you're not right
Lets get one back from the system.
Dale Thomas as a an unsigned restricted agent. Doesn't appear to be a fan of Bucks. At 25 he's in an ideal age bracket for us and where we are lacking, offers us much needed outside run and spread, uses the ball well and offers all over ground flexibility. Would complement our developing inside mid group well, offers a much needed foil for Griff and has the added benefit of being a highly marketable commodity. Would be a huge get for the Club even if the odds might be against us.
Hadn't really thought about this until you wrote it Doc but agree it would be pretty awesome. Does provide us with what we are seriously lacking and brings star power to Whitten Oval. The question is, what would it cost to get him and could we actually get him to want to come to us?
Then while we're at it we can build a time machine and pick up young versions of Granty, Westy, Johnson, Templeton and Whitten and win 12 flags in a row. Yay.
If we're talking Daisy, does Buddy come into the conversation? Even if all it does is muddy the waters a bit I can't see that as being a bad thing?
We have to pay this money to someone and we are only going to have more room in the cap with the guys who will go out...why not throw a decent offer to Franklin or Thomas? The reality is they wont come but it forces up market value and throws a spanner in the works for other clubs...this is a competition after all.
