SO if GWS lose their picks as Caro suggests they might ours would then be if 25, 49 & 70....

Surely we'd get some form of compensation

Well yes considering clubs have all made list management decisions on the basis of thinking they had lower picks.......won't happen though...

Seems if they are stripped of draft picks it will ony be 15 & 37...so we'll effectively only move up one spot in each of our three active picks.....gyped again....

Incorrect. Our pick in the late 50's will drop by 6 to 8 picks as GWS will need more picks for their academy players

They can still go into points deficit next year if they want...

Only once they've used all their picks with points from this year though

Still overweight but can play. Hope we use a late pick or rookie him.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Tipped by some to go as early as the 40's and by others as a rookie pick.......would prefer Willie Rioli.......be good if we could get both but with our wonderful list manglers thinking it's more important we keep the likes of Rehab Conca, Cooked Ivan, Batch the Hack & VFL Lambert, we're left with stuff all room to play with....
