      GWS withdrew their offer to Franklin when they realised they had been trumped by Sydney. I'm not saying this as a definite but perhaps it suits us more to get out of the speculation around Lever if we are somewhat convinced he isn't interested.

      It could mean we have just put up the "open for business" sign to every other player we have an interest in.
      By the way, I don't think we are 100% out of the picture but we are a long way behind

        Agree, you don't get rid of a top 5 pick who we know is a freak. That would be plain stupid.

          Hypothetical. Josh Kelly tells us and St Kilda I'm happy with your offers. St Kilda offer up picks 7 & 8. We offer up pick 10 and what?

            I'd do the trade , but can't see it happening . Kelly is consistentand would up with Bont as our best player.

              No way I'm trading Stringer; a mercurial, 55-goal a year AA forward not yet 24 is the sort of guy you trade in, not out.

              Dahlhaus and 9 for Kelly though...

                  Thanks for putting up a name into the discussion, much appreciated. Would GWS want Dahl, or would someone with a late top 10 pick like St Kilda make a trade for him?

                    And promise not to boo them at their home ground again!

                    Nah it would have to be a player I'd say. One of ours or a 3 way. The problem is what do they need? It's like trying the buy a gift for someone who has everything.

                      Who is tradable from our top group if players, in any position, either to GWS or to get a very good pick to get the trade down.

                        Dahl won't be enough to get the deal done. I mentioned in another thread that Dahl might be a tradeable commodity because of his sharp regression in 2017 with regard to ball use and decision making, but after thinking about it in more detail I agree with Comrade in that he is a fabric player that would damage the culture of the club if traded away.

                        Kelly's worst game will be low 20's possessions, a goal and probably 3-4 tackles. Stringer's worst game has him listed as a missing person on a milk carton. Stringer at his best is dynamic, but it is an increasingly rare occurrence and his tank will always prevent him from being any more than a short burst player in the midfield. And I love Stringer - that goal in the last qtr of the GF is something that maybe 2-3 players in the comp could have kicked - but you have to be bold to get better.

                          Yep. The only player they have gone hard at repeatedly and knocked them back is Michael Wolters. Two top 10 picks might be enough if they can't identify anyone else.

                                I have to think about it. Could it be this years and next years first rounders, but would that do it? I am not good at this stuff.
