Wonder if there will be a need to bring in another Club to get these deals done, to get more picks inside the top 10 :huh3

As I just said in the Baker thead if we want 3 from WC in the event he nominates them. it will probably require another club to get involved....they'll also have the Barass compo....I'd imagine they want to draft Bo Allen, who's the highest rated WA kid in the draft , but he's tipped to go late top ten - mid teens so they'll probably want to get a even higher rated kid before that.. :shh

Don't really wanna trade for any players let alone fringe players but if we were to go down that path I'd prefer him to undersized one dimensional slugs like Hobbs & Phillips..... :shh

Any idea what his worth is? Seems to have no trouble finding the goals.

Could be a steak knife for Rioli but I'd be prioritising those R1 picks mostly.

Is 6 + Rosas a fair deal?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Baker gets done for WC's future 1st rounder

I would want something for this year's draft as well. Say pick 23 their 2nd rounder worth 800 odd points that could come in very very handy

I would absolutely take that deal as a straight swap don’t think there’s any chance they offer it. Realistically are they gonna be any better next year? I think they’re heading for another bottom4 finish which would mean we get a top5 pick for baker. Where do we sign?

Apparently Kosi Pickett wants to go to Freo as well....which is going to make getting something decent for Bolton even more complicated.....I swear whenever something looks to be going our way there's  always somebody or  something that comes along to stuff it up....nothing ever goes smoothly for this club.... :banghead

Has no bearing for me. All players who informed the club they want to go would be already well advanced with clubs they want to go to just compensation now. Pickett is not even close to Bolton as a player.

Richmond will declare it’s interest in George Grey, a star from Frankston’s VFL team.

Grey will be set to gain massive interest leading into the AFL Draft, with the Tigers exploring young guns in the VFL.

I keep going through scenarios in my head with the view to secure as many top picks as possible.


WCE won't want to trade P3, but I wonder if keeping them in the 1st round makes that more tenable.

If we consider Bolton for P9 + P10 from Freo, I wonder if WCE would consider Baker + P9 for P3 + P23. Talk is that they'll be taking P12 from Hawks for Barrass, so they would be doing Barrass + 3 + 23 for Baker +9 + 12. Maybe not perfect and needs some work on this deal.

Rioli should go to GCS for 6 + 13, that's non-negotiable for me.

I would then be trading Graham comp, 39, 41, 47, 57, 66, 73 to Carlton for their P11 because they need points for their FS twin selections.


Then we could hit the draft with 1, 3, 6, 10, 11, 21, 23, 29.
