mitch @TexasPinkSock - is yarran still going to go to richmond? Seems a deal is not any closer to happening with the rumour Brisbane went cold on
@BrettAndersonIF - It'll still happen.

Interesting to see how we're gunna get it through without the Astbury picks. How do people feel about 2nd rounder this year and next year for Yarran? I'd be happy with that. Enough for Carlton?
I hope we don't trade future picks. Next year's draft isn't as weak as this year's. Having said that, I don't see Carlton accepting pick 31 + our 2016 2nd rounder (30+?) even though it's more than fair based on Yarran's 2015 'form'. Both clubs seem to publicly agree Yarran is worth a high teen/early 20s pick.
I think we'll have to wait until Thursday before any deal can be done on Yarran. We'll need to see what picks everyone still has after all the main trades are completed. Once we know that then there's the option of swapping picks based on the bidding points system they've introduced this offseason.
For example: We trade pick 31 (606) + pick 49 (278) = 884 pts and in return we receive a pick of similar points value. Brisbane, for instance, currently have pick 21 which is worth 878 pts. Get our hands on a pick like that (late teens/early 20s) and then we can pass it onto Carlton for Yarran.
