You’d hope they’ve made a call to his agent to see if the rumours are true and if so whether he would be interested in coming here. If he is then like I posted before I’d start with picks 20 & 21 and go from there.

For me, I consider pick 2 untouchable unless we get offered a trade that leaves 0 doubt that we come out on top of.

Maybe


P2 + P20
for
Tauru and P8

Short + P38
for
P27 (pies)


Go draft with P8, P21 (compo), P27

Ridiculous

And you keep forgetting if we trade pick 2, there is no compo

If there's a bid at P1 and we get the compo, do we lose that compo if we trade P2? I wasn't aware of that.

How about you say something useful instead of throwing insults?

Why would you get pick 2 compo. If you don't have pick 2

Live trading (picks only).

Separate deals but pre-agreed.

P20 (R2) for Tauru
Get bid compo draft night
Trade P2 for P8

Or something like that (AFL may not allow it though if they think it's tampering / we're not Geelong etc)

If we trade the second pick

There is no compo

That pick no longer exists

Gotcha, thanks Damo.

An absolute no then, because trading out of the top 5 will mean trading out another top 20-25 pick then by default.

It’s why I wasn’t excited by the potential Butters deal

AFL clubs exploring trades for any of the suspended Sydney players say they’ve been told by the league that their fate won’t be known before the end of the trade period. They say the message from the AFL is clear - buyer beware. @1116sen

All the equalisation stuff with FA compo etc.

I'll die on the hill that the bottom 10 clubs should get 2 shots at the top 20 players in the draft.

Make is much easier and quicker to rebuild through the draft and the FA issue of pillaging best players from lower teams isn't an issue.

If Port lose Butters and get pick 5 compo. They have pick 4 but after pick 10, picks 11 to 20 should be teams bottom of ladder 2nd pick. So Port would also have Pick 14.

I'll die on the hill that this would drastically even up the comp.
Go Tigers!

You really got to stop posting about stuff you clearly have no idea about ?
