If its Bo we might as well trade up for him now. Wallsy doesn't get over it and he'll end up costing more in trade 4 years from now.

Would you be content with Fremantle making that trade if it were the other way around? A six place slide for a future first?

I think our board will be upset if we pay that much to move up to pick a player that doesn't really fit an immediate need - then if/when Bo turns into a gun midfielder/half back we will look at it as massive value.

Bo has the potential to be another Luke Hodge, just get him

Only thing I'm saying is its cheaper to trade up the draft this year because of the relative eveness

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. The thing is that trading up/down will be driven by needs rather than rating imo. You have North looking to trade down because midfielders just aren't a massive priority. If our priority really was a beast of a HBF-er then I think we'd pay up for the right pick.

Will Hayes interviewed tonight said he had meetings with 15 clubs at the draft camp.

I just thought for a player reckoned to be to later pick in the draft or a rookie, interest from 15 clubs was quite a lot, as he may be more of long term prospect at AFL level with his light frame.

Just listened to another bit of media he did on SEN yesterday. He said it was 11 clubs interviewed him at the draft camp, and 4 since visited the house. He was telling Gossage and Cummings that when Fremantle came to the house and talked to his dad, his dad spent most of the time talking about the history of the club. i.e a fanatic.

Yeah I gathered that’s what you meant in your reply to my original post and whilst agree it has been , it’ll be a different beast in this draft on the night due to basically clubs having to play their hand when it comes to trading up for the player they want

And as also ( and ironically) ,due to being so “even”meaning as clubs start to pick after (I’m guess p6 onwards) clubs will really have a better idea of who’s on the board etc so I really can see a flurry of clubs looking to start wheeling and dealing and not just the likes of Sydney and gws etc looking to move up but teams like ess/haw(even WC) who have stated they’ll be keen to get into this part of the draft.

Simple supply and demand metrics i can see some clubs ending up paying pretty big on draft night , especially in that 10-30 bracket

I think the "tax" is removed if it's done on opening and not waiting for the actual pick, then it's more like it was agreed before hand and just needed to wait for draft night to begin. I'm not really a fan of it regardless anyway. Seems we are a lock to get whoever is left out of the top end sub 190cm players and that works for me.
