    Bulldog ONLY Trade News

    Reports afel media that we have offered our F1 for GCS Pick 13 (they got from us this year). 6 clubs chasing the pick.

    Carlton have offered up F1 & F2. So we might need to add pick/s to beat them if we really want it.

    Prima facie why would they go for this?

    They have an academy kid again, so it’s likely to go to the highest bidder. Currently Carlton with an extra F2. But they might want the points this year, so our picks from CD, Jack &/or 47 might do it.

    Assuming Smith & F2 is 1st & F1. Big assumption.

    That’d give us 13, 17, 35 or so this year plus, and a first next year still with a lot of spare salary cap.

    The club thinks we are finishing top 8 or higher again.

    I'd rather hold our F1, will probs be a top 10 pick next season.

    My head is spinning and I don't understand any of this. That's why we've got you.

    Essentially we won the trade casino with GCS and want to bet it all, double or nothing. I posted this morning we could try this, but would need some convincing. I’d really want to know we’ve got the first & F1 for Smith. If this occurs, then I’m happy to trade a F1 for Pick 13 this year, knowing there’s still one for next year.

    Sounds like it’s going to be fierce competition for it.

    Do we go to the draft or will we be making a play for someone? Interesting 10 days ahead

    That’s the fascinating thing. North & WCE are putting up picks 2 & 3 for multiple firsts and an F1.

    If we turned Smith, CD, say 46 & 47, F1 & F2 for an out and out gun midfielder at Pick 3 & F2 would we want that from North?

    So there’s an opportunity to rise to the really pointy end.

    Or trade aggressively.

    Or load up of late first round talent.


    It’s another ballsy moved from Power whichever way he ultimately goes if he does it again.

    Deeper draft I think we take the picks and use them.

    Playing with numbers. If we need to supplement our F1. If we can get 46 for Jack. 46 & 47 = Pick 29 in points to add to our F1. That’s a strong offer to GCS. If we can get 25 for CD (30 after bids) say a F3 if necessary to add for argument sake. Smith & F2 for 17 & F1.

    2024: Natural Picks 13, 17, 25 & 35 and delisted free agent
    2025: First (Geel), JOD elevated, LOTS of salary cap (FA?)
    2026: West and perhaps Cooney
