    I have no problem with the trade at all, it's not a great trade, but it was the only one available. As you say he was headed out the door for nothing, so we shuffled some picks around hoping to get anything better than nothing. Typical for us, the year that player values dropped drastically we had Hamling, Hrovat & Stevens wanting out!! Hopefully there's some good value for players coming to us this year. I don't think we anticipated North possibly finishing 17th either. St Kilda must be happy they're on the right side of futuresntrades this year.

    Can you imagine a world where North kept a few decent players (Harvey, Wells etc) and they knew how to finish games off... We would be looking at nothing for Hrovat. I was talking to a North fan a while back and they were hopeful that they could finish above us and trade up in that deal. Future trading is an interesting dimension now, and I'm happy that Hawthorn have pushed the Saints first rounder out of the top 5 realm.

    The double blow of Carlton getting pipped was not just Essendon staying in the finals race but it would have dropped Norf down to 2nd last again.

    Where was Liam Jones when we needed him?

    Was probably Carlton's best player.

    Surely he had another effort to stop that last goal.

    Watched the game. His improvement in the last 6 weeks or so is remarkable. Good on him.

    Re: Hrovat Draft Compo Watch - Round by Round

    Rooting ahead:

    St Kilda defeats North
    Brisbane defeats North (Gabba) (Fighting for the wooden spoon most likely)


    Dogs Get Pick 38 (If Carlton defeats Hawks next week, then pick 37)

    North Get Pick ** (Don't really care what the pick is we give them back, but it will be a minimal upgrade) & Hrovat

    Re: Hrovat Draft Compo Watch - Round by Round

    Final (safe to say I can make some assumptions)

    Hrovat, Picks 45 & 63 - for - Picks 40 & 58 (on traded below)

    Stevens, Pick 61 (2016) & Pick 58 (2017) - for - Pick 50 (2016) & Pick 80 (2017)


    So in our hands a five pick upgrade for Hrovat
    Last year an 11 pick upgrade in our hands, but a 22 drop this year for Stevens.

    Likely picks for this year's draft: 9, 27 & 40

    Re: Hrovat Draft Compo Watch - Round by Round

    Carlton winning tonight has put Norf right in the mix for the wooden spoon. They won't beat St Kilda tomorrow and I don't think they can beat Brisbane at the Gabba next week.

    Looks like a pissy 4 pick upgrade instead of 7 picks. Thanks for nothing Norf.

    And people were happy with the return. Horrible trade at the time and an even worse one now.

    Don't really care about the trade - Hrovat is a 22-30 player with us and a starting 18 player with a cellar dweller. Would have been nice to have 3 picks in the top 40.
