If we end up with those picks, surely we could put together an acceptable trade for Treloar?
Why don’t they keep 8, we give our 2 second round draft picks this year, and next year’s first? They get to keep pick 8 this year plus gain the 2 second round draft picks they need to bid on their academy picks. We get Treloar. In fact, since we’re doing them such a favour, I’d make next year’s draft offering second round to start with.
It hasn’t happened yet so I don’t want to get too excited until all is confirmed, but these moves look like the result of careful planning combined with agile negotiating. Props to dodoro and Keane if they pull this off. It could seriously set up the club for a dynasty and what is better is that for the current players 27 and under it gives them a real hope of being part of a successful team.
That actually looks like the amount of years St Kilda will have to wait for their next crack at a flag now that they look like not securing a potential AA CHB for the next 8-10 years, and all because of their reluctance to part with a measly Pick 5.
The Saints have been so strong about 5 I can’t see them offering it now.
Said it yesterday, I think they’ll offer next years 1st pick.
We then say that and this years second, figuring they fly up the ladder with Jake.
Use 23&24 to sweeten the GWS 8 deal (they won’t be using those for players we’d get anyway)
So we’d have 4,8 &25 and a 1st next year.
Just a thought.

Did anyone read Mr Sunbury post? He wants to go to saints so we could still be in trouble. Saints will probably drag it out until 5 minutes before end of trade period so we can’t deal with hawks.
I think we need to push Jake and take the Hawks deal. Firstly I think it is fair. Second it allows us to seriously chase pick 8. Third it sends a big message to the next club that wants to trade with us… that when we say a price… we mean it and if you fark around we will go somewhere else.
