Would take for a 3rd round pick or maybe a slight downgrade in 2nd round pick, that's all. If we gave pick 6 to Adelaide I'd want Tippett or Dangerfield, not Knights.

Pick six should not & cannot be used for any possible trade

End of story IMHO

Actually i would be hanging onto our 2nd round pick as well

Third rounder and that is it with a player like Polo.

Don't get sucked into Adelaide's games of not being to pleased about Bock not being a first rounder. Regardless of circumstance Knights only played a handful of games this year. Third round pick take it or leave it and we'll throw in a player or if we can get a third or a fourth party involved then even better.

Totally agree, throw Nahas in to.

I don't think our list is at a stag that we should be trading away picks for quite a few years to come. I can't think of one trade we have completed recently for picks that I think we have come out on top with so lets not try and bring in a ready-made players and just use the trades we have and develop them. Last years draft was a huge success IMHO because we didn't get rid of any of our picks and only did one player swap. Why wouldn't we wish to duplicate this success?

Players such as McMahon, Thomson and Hislop are now just clogging our list so even if we got them for free (which we certainly didn't) the trades were failures.

If we can get Knights for a players trade then I would be all for it (Tambling?) but otherwise I say no.

I said yes, but with our 2nd or 3rd pick ;)

Same with me, so long as we get another pick back from the Crows?

Agree with your post Stripes.
Interesting question though. Would you trade away Edwards for Knights? That's more in the ballpark of value on each side and is SA for Vic.
To me it's a very iffy trade since Knights is older and has more injury problems but is a bit larger and has shown better skills.

If you can't say straight out that you would do that sort of trade then IMO don't bother.

Obviously I'd prefer a player trade, but I could manage us using our 3rd pick. It's going to be around the 50 mark anyway.
Hopefully we can trade one of our defenders for another earlier pick, potentially in the Tarrant trade

Would NOT want to trade Edwards, not a chance and can't see it happening
