Hollands deal all but done. Easy deal
Dow will go through. Couple of others things to fall with it
Still looking to get an earlier pick. Could easily happen draft night
Looking at 1 or 2 "mature" players to help with depth.
I am not expecting more than 3 draft picks

Tomorrow could be exciting for Blues fans
Thanks for the update Soapy, much appreciated , looking forward to tomorrow and some positive outcomes.

Yep, not excited at all on exposed form. As it stands we are losing two far superior depth players.

We're probably due for a gamble on potential to pay off though.
Reckon Vossy will inspire him, being close to Ollie and fresh environment will make a difference. Our development has improved immensely and our big games are exciting attracting huge crowds, the lad will be reinvigorated.
Go Blues
 
With the info from Royal, F3 and Soap re trades potentially going down tomorrow I'm still a bit confused as to what our draft hand is likely to look like if it goes to plan? 8 and 20 odd? 8 and 30? Or will it be 8 and our 2 picks in the 60s/70s?
Pick 8
Hollands
34,912 points for the Campo boys
Bontempelli

Pretty sure

I’m expecting the Dow deal to be something like:
Dow and pick 22 to Saints
Pick 21 and a F4 to Carlton

We all know SOS won’t want to pay much for Dow. I’d hope it would be a F3 to bring more points for the Campo twins but my gut feel the F4 pick will still add some points to next year for us to match bids with late picks.

SOS is probably still having a tantrum and will do the deal from his car.
 
So going off our rumoured interest in players...

Caddy, Hollands, Wicks, Crozier and possibly a pick in the 20s/30s if we keep one after trading up? That would be all our list spots filled including the two Irish boys correct?

If Hollands can follow the example of his younger brother and refocus on football we’ve got a steal.
There are reasons he’s so cheap, hopefully the new environment will bring about a positive change.

The kid can play. Was touted as being the # 1 pick but slid due to doing his ACL in is draft year (don’t underestimate the impact this can have on a young player too, especially as a forward).

Great disposal and very good goal-sense. Only his third season (technically his second with an interrupted 2021 with his ACL) and so he is still learning his forward craft at AFL level, which takes time… especially without any quality key forwards around you, like he’s had up at GC.

He’s also not managed to put on any weight up at GC - only put on 1kg since being drafted. Over to you, Russell.

We’re crying out for a genuine third tall down forward and this guy could be it. I think he’ll thrive with Curnow, McKay and Martin in the team alongside him. If we get him cheap, he’ll be a massive steal IMO. More so than Acres - bookmark it.

Is the last paragraph on Caddy?

1 up from the rookie list required = 4 players spots avail on the seniors (pending goodbye Dow).
Not sure if we’d go 3 players from other clubs, Wicks/Crozier one or the other if we get EH.
