Re: Josh Bruce 2019

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

I think we should stick to our guns for the moment. Still just under 4 hours to go.

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.

58 gone to Freo as part of Hill transfer

Yep. We could try to see if Port will draft trade 29 & 68 - for - 45, 51 & 53. (Port 127 points up)

Then offer 32 (29 for Bruce so they get more than 32...) and a future 4th (bugger all points) - for - Keath & future 3rd (much more points). That's as generous as I could get.

Leaves us Pick 13, 68 & upgrade La Young -- Bruce, Keath, 2020 3rd

The original picks, in effect: 45 gets Keath, 51 gets us a future Cows third, 53 downgrades to 68. So we just cop the 53>68 downgrade. But the other third rounders get what we intended. The Cows can bang on getting a pick around 30 and St Kilda getting a top 30 pick.

Cleary and Barrett saying Bruce gets done soon enough.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

Landsberger saying Sydney want more than 32 for Jones, and that's the hold up. Perhaps exchange picks 51 & 56.

Bruce & 56, for, Picks 32 & 51. Seems a fair compromise.

32 for Jones is about spot on.

32 for Jones is about spot on.

This bloke is so overrated. The talk of him being a good player is about as accurate as his kicking.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

Oh I agree entirely. He runs in straight lines with next to zero awareness.

I don't rate him at all.

Re: Josh Bruce 2019

I'm really ok with us holding on Bruce. Hopefully though it hasn't cost us any other deals. But i have faith in our team to be across what they need to.

I agree. We put a stake in the ground that we stick to our word and build a reputation as being fair but firm.

I value Bruce and Keath at the exact value we’ve tabled for them. In honesty both clubs need to move them on.

Who is with Sam doing the negotiations? Granty?

I think so.

Would Bevo have much input in the negotiations?
