Who will we trade pick 5 for

[saintjake]

All the talk this year is of how terrible the draft is.
If the Blues get pick 2 for Kruezer plus the academy picks, Pick 5 quickly becomes pick 7-8

Get the feeling we might break the traditional of the past two drafts (getting 3 picks in the top 20ish) and might take aim at some of the unwanted GWS players.

Any ideas?

[Devilhead]

Maybe Kelly for pick 5??

I think we will keep it though and try and trade for another pick into the teens somehow - though I've got no idea how

If the Blues get pick 2 for Kreuzer I will spew up. He is either injured or ordinary. Joke.
The Lions should go utterly ballistic if that happens.

[Con Gorozidis]

Pick 5 is only the 7th best u 18 player in the country this year.

If we had big balls we should trade our pick 5 to Carlton for their 2016 First rounder.

So we know its a silly pick but they don't? Doesn't make sense to me.

Haha! I agree 100% but under the system that's how it works!
Brisbane winning just shot themselves in the foot considering there is only two stand outs in the draft.

Hawks got 19(I think) for Buddy. Kruezer 17 places better than Buddy. Astounding.

Well it would risky. But it would mean two top 5 picks in 2016.
If the theory is this years draft is ordinary + removing the two NSW boys make it even weaker.
Two top 5 picks next year might be much much better.

But why would Carlton do it if as you say its only going to get the 7th best player in the under 18's?

Did we make a big mistake last year? We should have exploited this when we finished last. If we let someone go we could have got pick 1 and 2.

Because they might believe they are going to go up the ladder next year. They might believe they are trading pick 8 2016 for pick 5 2015.

[dragit]

You can't trade future picks anyway can you?

[Con Gorozidis]

You can't trade future picks anyway can you?

I dunno. Isnt that the new rule? You can trade future picks as long as you take 2 x first rounders every four years?

[Rosco]

Yeah, you can. Only next years picks with some limits on which (ie can't do it two years in a row for first rounders, or something like that - typically convoluted rule)

[citywest]

Darcy Parish at pick 5 would be a great result.

[bigred]

We will trade a ruck man for an early second rounder. Which will give us 3 in the top 25.

That would be my preference as well bigred. I've said it before and copped it from all the rogue posters on here. Trade Hickey for a pick 20 or better....I repeat, 20 or better and then go to the Draft with picks 5, Hickey's pick and 23.

Pick 5 - Darcy Parish
Hickey's pick - Kieran Collins
Pick 23 - Best Midfielder available

I know it's a risk because we then only have Longer, Holmes and Pierce but I believe it is a risk worth taking.

Forget Collins. Knightmare has him going at 10.
I also doubt Parish will be there at 5 if the two NSW boys are removed.

I'm glad you repeated it. I hadn't heard that before.

[Old Mate]

Pick 1 - Carl - Weitering
Pick 2 - Bris - Schache
Pick 3 - GC - Curnow
Pick 4 - Ess - Parish
Pick 5 - StK - Mathieson

[citywest]

During the year, according to Plough on Future Stars, Collins may last until pick 20. If we got pick 18 for Hickey and the cards fell our way it could be a repeat of Stanley for pick 21 for Goddard. As for Parish, with pick 5 I reckon we are at least a 50% chance of getting him. Time will tell.

[dragit]

Yeah, you can. Only next years picks with some limits on which (ie can't do it two years in a row for first rounders, or something like that - typically convoluted rule)

Thanks guys, I'm not up with this change clearly...

I dont know the exact rule. But its convoluted as usual...

Kelly is Def worth it....sign that deal tomorrow

Saints will not trade Hickey

[Kernal75]

What about Seb Ross for an early 2nd rounder?
