Would you trade Pick 4 for...

[groupie1]

Pick 8, 13, 16, 21 and their 1st Round pick next yr.... and throw them 36?

I'd seriously consider it.

Would they offer that?

[Sainter_Dad]

Yes - but why the hell would they do that deal????

Even including #36 and excluding next years First Rounder that would be an equivalent to #4 coming back in surplus points - and I know that sometimes the sum is worth more than the components - but that is drug money!

[bergsone]

3 first round picks this year and gives us 2 next year yes.Will they offer up that much I doubt it

[groupie1]

What's the best they'd cough up for the coveted pick 4?

[groupie1]

Imagine... heat of the moment. Lukocious/Rankine remain available. Both SA teams want him.

[groupie1]

Remember... Port Adelaide have pick 5...

I would take it if it was offered but there's not a snowman's chance in hell they will give up that many picks. I doubt they would even consider 8,16 & 21 for 4 & 36 .

[groupie1]

You're probably right

[BadRossco]

I believe our recruiters will be keen to trade pick 4 and go for quantity not quality. This will also avoid taking another Paddy or JB with pick 4 then having to justify it.

[lefty]

I'd say 8 + 21 or 10 + 15, for 4 + 46 is more realistic tbh, and closer matched in terms of points.

[ausfatcat]

depends who is taken 1,2 and 3


If luk was taken 1 and the king's 2 and 3, would be a different answer than if it was welsh, rankine and smith at 1,2,3.

[bigred]

Come on.

At best they would cough up two of those first rounders for this year for pick 4. At very best.

Chances are both Port and the Crows would want to be hanging on to at least one of those top ten picks as well.

[the dome]

If Walsh is taken @ #1 as expected by many & 'If' G.C. prefer the combo of Luka & King @ pick 2 & 3
then it's an interesting choice for the Saintly recruiters between Ranks & Smith @ #4.

[DJ Higgins]

Walsh gone at 1. Ben king will not be picked up by gc until pick 6 if they want him.
That means they will most likely get Rankine and Max King; or Rankine and Lukosious. I personally doubt they will take 2 tall forwards as they have needs all around the ground.
So there is a chance we may get lukosious for pick 4 which we must do.. he is ROO v2 according to scouts and guess who will mentor him if we get him. ROO.
Imagine his knowledge passed down to a similar style player who can kick straight. Yes please

[saintspremiers]

You know the drill.

We will end up stuck with pick 4 due to poor offers and draft another B grader

[desertsaint]

Just got to hope King goes to GC, leaving us with Luc or Rank.
At least if he bombs we can say we took the one any other club would have.
Question marks on both, but i'd prefer either to King.
And would prefer that to trading away pick 4. If King is there instead I'd take the trade but it would no longer be available.

[degruch]

Saints select Rankine, flip the bird to both clubs, and continue on their merry way...

[bigred]

We will probably pick some potato anyway so we should really just trade it away...

[fugazi]

Interesting...from Knightmare on Bigfooty re 2017 and 2018 crop:

Based on where they were rated in their draft years this years group is stronger/more highly rated.

*Stack them into one draft and ignoring club needs and you get something like for a rough feel.

1. Walsh
2. Lukosius
3. Rayner
4. Rankine
5. M.King
6. Brayshaw
7. Dow
8. Rozee
9. LDU
10. B.King
*With Smith/Cerra/Blakey in the conversation.

So there is a chance we may get lukosious for pick 4 which we must do..

I think you’re right.
GC take Rankine and Max and then punt on Ben being there at 6 which is a relatively safe bet.
This is a Good result for us because we either get Luksious or a very juicy offer from Port or the Crows.
It then comes down to Crows assessment if Power would be happy to take on Rozee at 5. If they don’t then they try and trade their pick8 for 7 to get Rozee which will cost them a lot less than if they tried trading for pick 4.
For me, Rankine is the guy who makes our forward line immediately more potent. Not unhappy if we land Lukosios though .

I'd seriously consider it.

Would they offer that?

No and why would they? It iw way, way overs for Rozee.

And if they were that generous they would do a deal with the Suns to land Lucky or Rankine rather than Rozee.

Either that or some kid who oozes talent, but loses all confidence playing under Richo.

Well one can say that knowing how good Nick was. But would you have done that when he was just a skinny unknown but very talented kid? I think not.

Yeah so would I once in a generation player . I have probably told this story once (maybe twice early signs of dementia) before & it is factually true we were at a local race meet & met surprise surprise Kenny Sheldon (he does like a punt) was there & we had just recruited Nick & I said what do you think of our no.1 draft pick & he told me he would be the next Wayne Carey .After a fair few beers & he signed my wife's left tit (as I said we had a few) we went our separate ways & it's pretty much as he said but Nick didn't sleep with the captains wife
