    Easy... Or I think it's simple if JJ quits and picks Freo. If Freo have about pick 7 (compo for Fyfe) and we have about pick 12.

    JJ and our picks 12 & 30 - for - Crozier (or similar talent player) and their picks 7 & 24

    JMac then has to find the best player/s to use 7, 24 & 40. Be it Josh Kelly, Jake Lever etc. - In addition to free agency.

    No need to trade anyone else out if JJ walks to Freo.

      God no, He's so unobtrusive I forgot him. Not many better than Crossy.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        We were keen on him in the initial draft too.

            What are peoples thoughts on Mitch Hannan and why we didn't draft him? We need a decent small/mid goal kicker and he was right under our noses last year. He played really well for us in Footscray and would have been handy this season

              We had picks 19, 28, 49. Hannan went at pick 46. Would you have picked him up with 28?

                Nope. That'll do it.

                Anyone know if we planned to get him at 49? Bloody Melbourne. I want Crossy back too, what's he thinking being down there?

                  On draft night it felt like both Ben Long and Mitch Hannan were taken (stolen) by St.Kilda and Melbourne just before we had the opportunity to do so with our next selection in the draft. Whether we would have used our 2nd pick on Ben Long only those in the inner sanctum would know. Taking Pat Lapinski with our 2nd round pick 28 seems a reasonable selection by us, arguably a better option than picking Long or Mitch Hannan who then went with Melbourn'e 3rd round selection. Only time will tell but I'm fine with it.

                  Melbourne taking Hannan with their third round pick at pick 46 scuttled any thinking we might have had for using our pick 49 on him. Hopefully Lewis Young proves to be a great pick up.

                    Cross Daniel McStay off the list, he has lived up to his name and re-signed with the lions until the end of 2019.

                      I think a senior member on here suggested we were looking at him at 49.

                        Lions re-signing young talent. Good for them. Moves us harder at May or Lever then I'd guess.

                            Well those are the picks we ended up with however we could have grabbed him in the 40's as we had pick 40.
                            My understanding is we traded up to get Long but got pipped by the Saints. I think there is a chance this also happened with Hannan.

                              If JJ is on the move, at least he gives us currency at Lever one way or the other.

                                What could we realistically expect in terms of a draft pick for JJ?
