I have always liked Cummings so hope we get him. He has speed and aggression , looks like Butters to me.
I heard we may trade pick 38 as part of the deal , 4 and 38 for 5 and 9 and a later pick . It will be interesting to see if it happens
Hell no to that trade IMO.
Just stick with our picks.
If the Grlj rumors are true it would make sense.
I'd also prefer to hold what we got.
Squeaky bum time
It all depends on who our recruits rate higher out of cumming/robey/XT. Although we don’t know for sure, all signs point to bombers wanting Robey ahead of those 2 so if our team rate cumming and XT higher and would pass on Robey anyway, it makes all the sense in the world to do 3 for 5 and 9. Still get the 2 players they would have selected anyway and add another player at what will become pick 13 after bids are matched. If it does play out like that then atleast in terms of executing a plan, recruiters need to be applauded for keeping their plans so tightly sealed that no one knows what we are doing.
I’d 100% not be giving up our pick 38 as per of it though, seems like we’re gonna get an opportunity to get a good player there too.
From a draft points viewpoint, trading picks 3 + 38 for 5 + 9 would be a massive win if we still get the players we want at 4 & 5.
Pick 3 = 2178 pts
Pick 5 + 9 = 1795 + 1355 = 3150 pts
Difference = 3150 - 2178 = 972 pts = pick 15.
Pick 38 277 pts.
5+9 before or after slides, remind me?
Even assuming we are Bidmond tonight and our picks end up 7 & 8 and Essendon's 9, 10 & 13.
Pick 7 = 1543 pts
Picks 9 + 13 = 1335 + 1080 = 2415 pts
Difference = 2415 - 1543 = 872 pts = pick 17
And even if pick 38 comes into say pick 33 = 382 pts then doing the trade is still a big win if we end up with the two players we always wanted anyway.
