    The picks have a sliding value,

    Pick 2 is 2,517 points
    Pick 3 is 2,234 points

    etc, etc

    If someone offered pick 3 for Hipwood, then Brisbane must match 2,234 points to secure him.
    Wow. Pick one is worth trading for just to get the bonus points.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Is Carlisle worth pick one? Didn't we only give a second rounder for Crameri?

          It's a tough one and I guess it depends on how desparate we are for him.

          Pick 12 probs a bit too much and pick 30+ is just not enough.

              I think there are a few Tassie boys this year that might be worth a look at and it you interested in a real smokey to keep track of this year it might be Stuart Donnelly. Elite pace is his real strength and he has had a very good season for the Tigers. 20 years old.

                Still, an 18yo ruckman might not be the priority, or they might not rate the player. Don't see many ruckmen drafted at all these days, let alone first round

                Anyone seen anything of Hipwood?

                  Starting to shape as a very interesting draft, with lots of players who tick a few boxes but seemingly not quite as much depth of players with very well rounded games and most boxes ticked to an extent.

                  I think it's a good year to downgrade our first selection if that means we end up with a player we want via trade, but I'd still like to walk away with a couple of selections inside the first 30 to ensure we can grab the players we want in that range.

                  I'm actually really looking forward to seeing how we approach the rookie draft too this year, given the number of players who look like great development prospects.
                  Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                    What about our first and third for Carlisle and their second ???

                      Impressive article on Darcy Macpherson. Saying all the right things. Seems a more serious type than his larrikin father.

                      A bit disappointed at the attention, hoping he'll sneak through to the 4th round.

                        Great final today so far. Stevenson trying to be a Cam McCarthy look alike.

                            He can't be drafted for 2 more years. Not this year or next.
