Pick 4 - what's the right price?

[bulldogsthru&thru]

In regards to North Melbourne compensation Morris stated that Laura Kane is recommending to commission that they get a late first round selection in 23 and 24 and also a second round selection in 24 in which they can use to trade as they like.

North have asked for Pick 3 but Hodge was speculating that if they get the picks above you can lock in a pick 3 compensation for Mckay.

Who's Laura Kane?

End of first round comp this year and next year? Jeez we may as well blow the list up asap. The AFEL will hand us picks to get us rebuilt fast enough.

And the comment from Hodge is yet another example of how normalised discussing draft tampering is. It's nuts. No integrity in this league.

Thanks. End of first round is nowhere near pick 11 so hopefully that won't happen.

I don't mind them getting some help because their ongoing poor performances creates problems but the end of first round should be as good as it gets.

Yep so a three pick assistance package plus potentially pick 3 for McKay.

I mind, absolutely sick of the AFL coming in and giving handouts to clubs for their on-field ineptness.

Surprised they haven't given Essendon automatic entry into the finals each year so they can break that 7000 day old curse.

Even at end of first they have 2, 3, 15 & 20. Then if there?s no caveats let them do say the 11 & 18-19 from us to GCS for their 15 & 20 and something else (F3 or swap of F2s etc). Now they?re at 2, 3, 11 & 18-19. Offer 18-19 and 2 for Pick 1. WCE then have the last pick in round 1 and the first pick in round 2. Great position and their boy Curtin.

1, 3 & 11. If North on top of their other high picks can?t start turning it around they never will and at some point if the manage themselves into the ground then relocate them.

I agree, and I feel like North are coming good naturally.
Although losing Mckay hurts, and their spine is looking thin.
I guess I see the argument that we can't have teams languishing like they are, especially with a new club coming into the competition soon.
Melbourne were the same, they're basically the AFLs third club and I dare say (albeit at our expense) the competition is far stronger now with the Demons being a stable competitive entity.
So give them assistance, however not at the expense of others.

I can't understand how a pick next year can even be contemplated. They could rise up the ladder for all we know.

Gifting draft picks sends the wrong message to clubs.

[jazzadogs]

So North have got end of first this year, and two next year.

Given gold coast need points for this year, my feeling is that the 2024 bonus picks won't interest them. Roos would need to shift them to another team for 2023 picks, then bundle the 2023 picks together for the Suns.

I think we're still in the box seat 10, 18 and a swap of later picks (noting that we also need to keep 2023 points for Croft).

Ralphy:

Dogs to outbid the competition (especially North) are offering 10, 17 & F1 for Pick 4 (5) and F3.

I wonder which player we are chips in for? I suspect it's Watson.

The wiz. Best player I've seen for a long while in an area of need.

What a bunch of idiots. Who ever signs off on this should be sacked.

There’s chips in. Then crazy. I think it’s crazy.
