Re: Josh Bruce 2019

Talk St Kilda get pick 58 for Steven. Perhaps 32 & 53 for Bruce & 58. They were happy with pick 28, just four spots. So improving the third rounder by 5 spots is maybe enough?

I was just watching the trade desk on afel.com.au - their thoughts were Keath was closer than Bruce. Bruce seems very close.

Sounds like what they might be after.

Hope we get a desired result, quite frankly I'm over the whole 10 day non-event period.

Me too. It just drags on I reckon.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

If the holdup for us is Sydney wanting more than 32 for Jones is there a chance the true roadblock is Dodo and Essendon?

Just speculating. Doubt it's the case

58 for Keath. KPD and 5th in their B&F and filling our greatest need would be quite the steal.

If it ends up with us keeping 13, Bruce and Keath for 32 and 53 I would be happy to say we win trade week based on filling need whilst giving up little.

I'd love pick 51 or 58. I'd take pick 44 if push came to shove.

After Bruce & Keath. If we have picks: 13 and two of 44, 51 & 58 (89 probably not used). My assumption is just use two draft picks and upgrade La Young. With that the question I have then is whether there's friendly draft points trades to go up the draft order, there's plenty opportunity out there. Or offer one third rounder for a third rounder next year. There's plenty of time for Sam Power to assess that question.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

How does all this though leave us with accumulating draft points for the guys we are into next year?

Wait and see after all the trades are done. For ease of discussion let's say Adelaide take pick 58.

Sam Power then has 13, 44, 51. He could offer up 44 or 51 for a future third rounder if he wants. Assuming he doesn't want to do anything with pick 13.

The timeline isn't as much of an issue with this. Trades involving draft picks only can still be completed between the end of trade period and the draft - it's only trades involving players that need to be completed by tomorrow.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

If the Crows continue to play hard ball I’d love for us to offer 13 (+maybe something late if needed) for Keath and McHenry.

McHenry was high on our radar and was walked through Whiten oval but was taken by the Crows at 16, clearly as a best available rather than needs based. They seem like they have someone in mind for our 13 and McHenry is at this point probably surplus to their needs.

Some on here would have seen more of him than me, but it sounds like he could take up the forward pressure role and he has a big enough tank to spend time on the wing.

Edit: It’s one of life’s great mysteries why I posted about the Keath trade on the Bruce thread.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

Lethlean still playing hard ball by the sounds. Unlike Keath, Bruce has a contract for another year.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

Saints now have 58 from Jack Steven. Opens up a trade avenue:

Saints get: Picks 32 & 53
Dogs get: Bruce & Pick 58

Leaves 45, 51 & 58 to work on Keath.

Would we split 13 and use a pick in high 20/30s? for Keath. I don't want to but we may have to.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

All the noise suggests Bruce will be done before Keath.
All we have to do is satisfy the Swans for the Zac Jones trade.
