Is this the twilight zone? No club would take that unless they had something planned with another club and even then it’s a pretty bad trade.

Are you serious?
I know the points system is indicative only but those two picks have about 600 additional points attached.
They’re good picks.
Not every club would trade pick 14 for those two in the 20s but a lot wouldComment

Unless they were seeking points for an academy pick and thats just not the case this year. No one in contention at academy level will be taken any higher than rookie at best this year.Comment

I think higher teens picks are required for trades and this is where we would get asked.
Personally,
Single digit Picks are priceless, drops off very quick after that to a more team needs basis
We got maybe 3 games into our Draft class from last year.
Id suggest Sheldrick and Cambpell are in the 22 next year.Comment

That’s why I think we might go after a playerComment

Two things - 1) I’m almost certain that I’ve read Cunningham has at least come to terms, if not signed for two years. If I were Gold Coast or North I would have been targeting him as genuinely solid, mature player. 2) Our picks will be 15 and 18 not 14…although we might “trade” 14 it will be 15 on the night after the Lions use pick 1 on Ashcroft. But 18 will stay the same as the Lions have to use their first pick (currently 16) in securing Him. Unless they mess everything up by trading out that pick and using 4 picks in the 20s or something. That would be annoying as it would put us back to 19!????"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

Brisbane will not use their first pick for Ashcroft points. As every club before them has done, they will trade their first for two or three lower picks that total a lot more points. Gold Coast hold a fistful of seconds and thirds they won't use and GWS will end up with quite a number after they trade out four players.
Ashcroft almost certain to be bid on by Norf (after they stupidly didn't bid on Daicos and Darcy last year) so every pick in the draft (up to the picks Brisbane extinguish in matching Ashcroft) will go out by one place.
There's also the spectre of Norf Priority Pick/s pushing out picks but I suspect at best Norf will be granted the first pick of the second round, as Brisbane were a few years back after the "Go Home Five" episode.
Would we swap a teens pick for two in the 20's? Depends on who we think will be there at our teens pick and who we think will be there at our two 20's picks. This year is reported to drop off after the first 8-9 picks and then be very even for the next 20 or so, all opinion of course.
There will be a lot of pick trading this year which goes on until a few days before the draft. It will also include swapping picks between this years draft and the 2023 draft. Will we be involved ? Who knows? but in our recruiters I trust, they know so much more than us.Comment

As for pick 14 vs. 20 and 26, I think I would stick with pick 14 this year because we have more need for quality than quantity. I think we should use pick 14 for the best KPP available at that pick. I hope Isaac Keeler is still available. There might be other circumstances when the 2 later picks would be preferred.
I hope the news on the impending signing of Gould is true. I think he's the right fit for our current situation, in that we already have a good backline with taller players, but need to have a few younger ones for depth and future planning. I don't mind that Logue has chosen North over us, if we were indeed in the running. For the reasons stated, it's a better fit for Logue, who is good, but maybe not good enough for our best defensive lineup.
If we can get Gould for just a 1 year extension, it must mean that there wasn't much demand for him. Good VFL form is not enough to earn a big contract, which seems fair enough.
If Melican can find a new home, I would be happy to trade him for a pick in the 40s.
Things could fall well for us on the list management front this year. So far, it's looking okay.Comment

When doing the pick number calculations, I don't worry about the those players headed to designated clubs, like Ashcroft. I just leave those players out of the calculations completely. It doesn't matter that we effectively drop down by a pick. In my thinking, with still have pick 14, with Ashcroft excluded, He was never really in the live draft anyway.Comment

Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months.

1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.

RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous.

b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
