tigs mentioned this in another thread but I'll post what C4[2]Yo`DooR on BF has said so far:
Been told the Tigers are meeting with GWS this morning - wonder if a late deal could be in the works?
Sorry gang - got it wrong.
Meeting with the Gold Coast re: Pick Upgrade (my guess is going after 27?)

Would have to be something decent to upgrade from #50 to #27.
Hampson is from the Gold Coast isn't he? lol :p

Pick #27 is only my guess,
But I can't see any other decent upgrades? (unless the Tigers were after Pick #43) ... maybe its part of a bigger deal?! I'll keep you posted.

I have a sneaky sneaky feeling (just putting the dots together):
First he tells me that Richmond are meeting with GWS, THEN, says Richmond are meeting with GC for a "pick upgrade".
Pick #12 + #27 for Shiel?

Perhaps we're trying to get one of the 2nd round picks floating around in the Polec trade talks?
The trade has complicated Port Adelaide's efforts to secure Brisbane midfielder Jared Polec, with the Power tied in to a proposed club deal that collapsed on Tuesday night before talks resumed on Wednesday morning.
Under that deal, the Giants would have swapped picks 21 and 22 for Port Adelaide's 14, with the Power moving one of those selections on to the Lions for Polec.
Port Adelaide is looking at other options to satisfy Brisbane, which has all but finalised deals sending Elliot Yeo to West Coast and Sam Docherty to Carlton. The Lions want picks 25 and 41 from St Kilda for ruckman Billy Longer, but the Saints are only willing to move 25.
One Power option is to send pick 14 to the Gold Coast in exchange for the Suns' picks 20 and 27, a swap the clubs have discussed.http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/shaw-sweetener-secures-pies-swap-20131023-2w12r.htmlOkay starting with the picks everyone has now (assuming Brisbane gain pick 28 for Yeo and pick 33 for Docherty):
Richmond: 12, 50
Port Adel: 14, 34
Brisbane: 7, 28, 29, 33, 45
Gold Coast: 5, 20, 27, 43
GWS: 1, 2, 21, 22, 48
We swap picks 12 & 50 for the Suns' picks 20, 27 & 43 (or the Giants' picks 21, 22 & 48)
Then we pass on those 3 picks for Port's picks 14, 34 (Port ontrades one of these picks we give them for Brisbane's Polec)
We convince Brisbane to do a goodwill trade for McGuane for what will be at best their sixth draft pick (45). It could be at worst their seventh/eighth pick if they trade Longer for St Kilda's pick 25 (+41) so presumably they won't be using it anyway.
That would then leave us with picks 14, 34, 45.
Richmond: 14, 34, 45
Port Adel: 20, 43, Polec
Brisbane: 7, 25, 27, 28, 29, 33, 41?, McGuane ..... (lose Polec, Longer, Yeo, Docherty)
Gold Coast: 5, 12, 50
or
Richmond: 14, 34, 45
Port Adel: 20, 43, Polec
Brisbane: 7, 22, 25, 28, 29, 33, 41?, McGuane ..... (lose Polec, Longer, Yeo, Docherty)
GWS: 1, 2, 12, 50
Thoughts?
