Wow, been working hard today.
I think the deal with the dogs would have been to swap our last pick so it's probably going to be 38 with their third round.
But was that not the pick we got for Hall?
I am now just plain confused.
McGlynn will be a handy replacement for Buchanan.

39 46 and 70. And considering we weren't going to use 70 it's a great trade
only question is what are we goingto throw back to the dogs
for hall?Comment

The club is going to need name badges on the first day of pre-season.
Totally different looking squad next year, a massive overhual.
Trying to work it out so here goes:
Lost 8:
Magic
Leo
Hall
Crouch
Fosdike
Kennelly
Jolly
Buchanan
Gained 4:
Seaby
Mumford
Kennedy
McGlynn
Possibily up-graded 2:
Orreal
Gordon
That means if we keep 6, 14 and 38 that one more needs to be de-listed or one of either Goodes or Kirk can head to the veterans list to open up the final draft spot.
Probably only going to be one of either Brabazon or Playfair or both that are de-listed.

The article reporting the Mumford and Drum deals surely put the lottery nature of the draft into sharp perspective.
Geelong have traded pick 28 for a guy they plucked from a country league onto their rookie list, while a player taken a couple of years earlier with a top 10 pick is now deemed to be worth a 4th round pick. Shows how little certainty there is in drafting players, even with relatively high picks, and how much luck there is involved in finding decent, even very good, players from almost nowhere.
Finding ruckmen, in particular, seems so hit and miss. A significant proportion of the game's best rucks, and several very decent ones, started life as rookies - Cox, Sandilands, Brogan, Jolly, Jamar, Campbell. At the other end of the scale, a lot of rucks have been taken at the very top of the tree - Fraser, Gardiner, Leuenberger, Hale, McIntosh, Ottens, Clark, Ryder, NicNat.
Seems to suggest that clubs are just as well served by trawling minor leagues looking for solidly built but probably way out of shape (relatively speaking) giants and then being patient as they are drooling over althletic 200cm skilled youths whose bodies have lots of growing to do before they are ready for elite senior footy.Comment

We've got three vacancies as it stands at present to be filled with picks 6, 14 & 38.
Reckon we'll delist another two and use pick 54/63 (depending on Bulldogs shuffle commitment) and pick 5 in the PSD.
Unless we pick up Fev ..........Comment

Looking good so far. Would be super if Tadgh came back too. Happy at the moment, could surely be much worse.Comment
