What’s he saying?

Spot on JJ

‘Damo, I just reckon it’s not a good deal’

(Not listening, I just assume that’s about it)

■■■■ off. A future first becuase they will be top 4 next year

Get another club involved or ■■■■ off

Those 4 2nd rounders would get you another top 12 and a F2 I reckon. Especially on draft night when players start to slip and slide.

Surely Hawthorn should be called the Terminated Family club these days?

JJ just hates Hawthorn as a former cat

If Gold Coast send 7/8 to Melbourne, even if pick 24 comes back, they’ll be miles short on points. You could (potentially) target 15 and Fiorini for two of our 2nd rounders, target Adelaide’s 14 with the other two.

You’d then be looking at 5,6,9,14,15 . Theoretically. And then do something predraft / mid draft to move a couple of those around.

Spot on. In reality FS, Academies are in place years in advance and rarely go anywhere other than expected Pick 9 is pick 9. We will get the 9th best available player in draft.

Compo picks do hurt but :man_shrugging:t2:

Im sure the club knows despite the Vic draft pool being concentrated this year there are plenty of high end interstate talent this year, SA in particular.

Take the picks for Merrett and let’s move forward.

Because city hall aka the AFL says so. Artificial drama creates more clicks, more talking points for the AFL media and makes an event out of the final trade night

Then live trade up on draft night.

Try and get 3&4 from Richmond. Robey & Taylor.

Do we want that many picks? Genuine question

At that point are we better off looking for future firsts?

No, we don’t. But you can shift some around.

We’d need to do that pre draft wouldn’t we? Not sure how many spots we’d have available heading into draft

I would love for Welsh to send this to Merrett

Why would Adelaide sell their pick? Do they have academy round that mark?

The whole McKenzie doesn’t want to go to the Dons is most likely more Hawthorn porkies.
