    Not anymore. Rookie upgrades are counted

      Plenty of options.

      Yes, we can upgrade rookies as part of the 3.

      Our picks, which we will have, will be over Pick 80.

      Cody Raak if he gets passed Pick 41 can be drafted by us matching a bid for free (next Selection). So say someone wants him at Pick 60. We can use a Pick 90 with no deficit. (Or a Cat B Rookie if undrafted)

      Ewan Macpherson if he gets passed Pick 52, same above. (Or Cat A Rookie if undrafted)

      So if we like these guys, we can jump up the order without deficit if bids come.

      We can look at delisted players who nominate for the draft, young talent we rate who slipped through and/or state league talent that tend to go deep.

      There’s plenty of options.

        Interesting that Adelaide have let go of our pick 17 as part of their negotiations with the Swans for Dawson. I wonder what their play is now for Dawson, maybe futures.

          I’m really comfortable about Darcy, and that leaves Wally still weighing things up. If we are looking for trading players in, we might need to look at future pick/s. Which would mean we can’t trade the 2021 First.

          That’s a good trade if true.
          BT, stuff this. Lets take 23 to the draft and actually pick a kid.

          Darcy and a 1st round slider in the 20's would be an amazing outcome.

          We need to continue to keep adding talent to our list outside of only JUH and Sam Darcy.

            We can’t. They start deducting Points from our first selection. Pick 23 is our first selection.

            Per my response to BAD above. We still have good options to bring in talent, on top of the elite talent.

              Adelaide are entitled and arrogant (and don’t care about ruining drafting relationships with every club).
              They want him for free. 100% he will be PSD.

                Hopefully Collingwood don't share that strategy, and give us something reasonable for Lipinski.

                  Adelaide wouldn't be doing this deal if it wasn't helping in some way to get Dawson. Maybe they needed an extra first round pick next year so they can move on their first round pick next year for 2 picks, one of which goes to Syd for Dawson

                      I’m also not happy with giving pick 17 to Melbourne.

                        Either business overrules everything else or the story about the "Rivalry of Nastiness" was way overblown and those in the club have no/minimal issue.

                          We do very well out of that trade. Melbourne need to win the premiership again next year to even out their side of the trade.

                              List Manager, Am I correct in saying once the Darcy selection is done and we have coughed up the picks we could trade back into this years draft? Ie get a pick in the 40's by trading next years 2nd rounder

                                Bevo and their national recruiting manager are best mates.

                                It's the players that don't like each other.
