Trade it for a promising young livewire Richmond player like Kelvin Moore.

There's no chance of beating Port, GC, Melbourne and Richmond to them I'm afraid.

EDIT: ...and Brisbane

On current form Richmond may well finish above us this year, as much as I hate to say it.

it's Elshaugh's first year as the Grand Poobah of recruiting so we'll have to cut him a little bit of slack...

We should use it to get Motlop from Port. He will add some pace to our forward line and add a bit more bite around the packs as well as some more spice in the off field area. Awesome!

Just so long as we check with the Port people that he is of good character and that his problems are all behind him :wink:

We will not win a premiership unless we can get a winning or at least highly competitive ruck and forward line happening- this is where recruiting needs to concentrate. Practically no output from CHF, FF, and first ruck at the moment..three of the vital positions, and that's why we can't win.

Nah I reckon Port will want 2 first round draft picks from us for Motlop. After all, thats what we gave them for Barry Brooks :roll: :roll:

But we'll only have 1 first round pick!

I suppose if we were to give Collingwood a package of Riewoldt, Goddard, Dal Santo, Fisher and Montagna they may be prepared to give us their first pick in return  :roll:

On current form, we'll end up with 8, 10 or 12.

However, after our 2nd bye, we may have a flood of wins, with the combination of (relatively) easy opposition, and the expectation of blokes like Gardi, Kosi, Ledger and Geary back to fitness.

Essentially, we can end up with any draft pick*, but I believe it's no 10.

*except 1,2,3,5,7,9,11,13,15.

See at the moment Swallow's hot and cold, Bennell is a lazy, soft wuss, Day isn't getting picked, but gee that Heppell who went at eight looks a player with time, poise and a tank and Darling at twenty odd looks handy as.

Lottery.

Most players 17-18 yo will not show anything for 3 to 4 seasons. If we expect to grab a first round pick that carries us to a GF in their first season we may need to cut the medication down. Getting guys from other clubs and the vfl,wafl, sanfl etc. is popular because they are already hardened footballers ready to take off. Thats why we exchange late picks for them.
