On the subject of trading Bell & Casboult to Brisbane, the AFL can't afford to have both QLD-based club sitting at the bottom of the ladder when the two QLD-based NRL clubs played off in the Grand Final. The marketing & expansion of the AFL game needs both of those clubs to be somewhere in the hunt every year to build interest & participation.
Casboult & Bell give them two big-bodied robust players who are ready to play Round 1, a handful of scrawny kids from the draft will take a few years to reach that same level. I'm not sure the AFL can have them down there for that long.
