A quick look shows it is meant to be 6 but has been expanded by two due to the introduction of GWS/GCS till the end of next year.

Why did we haggle for pick 49 from Port then? Just to piss on it?



to trade for josh hill mayb?
f we werent going to use pick 45 why not just trade that instead of haggling for pick 49 as well.

Wikipedia still shows at 6 rookies which is what I thought initially. When I thought it was 6 and wiki backed it up, why would I assume it was wrong?
I'd say it's because port wanted it as part of the Ebert trade so we needed to swap it so we could use it to get Hill.

The Ebert decision really threw us off guard. I think we had plans before hand and that went sideways once he walked out.

I'm inclined to agree with this, based on what I was told was happening through Lukey and his incite from the Swannies.

So plan B, C or even D it is. :P

What was that?

I don't know why anyone's surprised at us having a quiet trade week - in recent years we only ever seem to be involved if a player wants to leave and usually only trade for picks.

If anything I'm surprised we picked up Josh Hill as he now joins Josh Kennedy as the only player on our list that spent time on another AFL list. Given Hill's size I guess we are looking for him to play Eberts HFF role as he doesn't look to be a true crumbing forward.

So after trade week, it is as follows.

Out:
Brett Jones(retired)
Jarrad Oakley Nichols (delisted rookie)
Tim Houlihan (delisted rookie)

In:
Picks 22, 28, 45
Josh Hill

On the assumption that we will use the 3 picks, that means we likely have to delist a further 3 senior players unless we have some veterans up our sleeve(which I think we might).

Further Delistings: Dalziell is almost guarenteed.
Possible Delistings: C Wilson, Neates, Stevenson then at a stretch possibly Weedon or J Jones.

I think we have 1 Veteran, so that means another is due the year meaning we can pick up a single rookie and only be forced to delist Dalziell and one of Wilson/Neates/Stevenson to get our 3 picks this year.
Looks like we'll delist 3, but we have already effectively delisted 2. I agree on the Dalz or Wilson most likely gone, maybe both?..

Alex, who are the 2 players we have "effectively de-listed"? BJ is de-listed (retirement). Ebert is traded, but replaced by Hill - Ebert does not count as a "de-list" as his senior list slot is taken up by Hill. It is my understanding that we are required to have 3 senior list slots available in order to enter the ND - to be filled either by new draftees or rookie promotions. At this stage, we have a full list with the exception of BJ's old slot. We need to de-list a further two players. Upgrading Hams would be considered as part of the ND process (but FFS please don't promote Hams!). I am getting tired of this . . .

With Hill coming in we only have one vacant spot on our list when we need a minimum of 3.

We'll use picks 23 and 28 obviously and will then either upgrade a rookie (Hams) or use pick 63 in the draft.
