If we end up with 5 picks in the top 15-20 (and I think this should be our goal) I'd be wanting 2 KPFs and 3 mids.

I'd like to think we can cellotape a backline together between Balta, Gibcus, Young, Blight, Miller, Broad.

Forward line of Lynch, Lefau, Bauer and Gray looks worse than the backline for sure.

We could also do with a gun small forward - preferably a Papley or Green type that can run through the midfield (though looking to MRJ to do that eventually), failing that a Pickett/Hill type will do....that's why I  hope we can snag at least one of Berry or Hotton with a pick in the teens.... :shh

Boltons trade request is official too.

It’s pretty surreal after all the talk all year it’s finally official.

I must say I’m sad to lose baker and Rioli but what great return on investment all 3 will be.

Also I’m very excited to see what we can do with these picks. The wise man in me says spread them out over 2 drafts, but the thought of acquiring 2 or 3 of jagga, fos, smillie, lalor, Draper, Langford, armstrong is very exciting.

I just don't get it......oh well....no doubt Diadoro will be all over him and for once I hope he gets his man.... :shh

Next minute: All given away for unders and some crappy fringe players.... :shh

Didnt Essendon give Diadoro the flick? I agree,  the chances we muck it up the trade and draft picks , can’t wait for another 5 average back flankers , one of them might even be as good as Rioli

Let's see if Blair stuffs this up again. Slightly different use of language when describing baker v the other 2.

We hold all the cards and that is that. If not Dimma can enjoy another mid table finish followed by his sacking shortly after.

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

So with delisting and players leaving, how many spots do we have on our list?
Pickett retired
Grimes retired
Dusty retired
Colina please delist
Rioli, Baker, Bolton, Graham

So that is 8 plus, any more??
