Good article, looks more likely we'll end up with Clark.

Hahah yeah but it's trade week swannies time to get imaginative.

Here is how I see it (if rumors which have come out are true)

Eagles give: Koby, pick 22

GWS give: Pick 1 mini draft

Which then

Eagles give back: Pick 1 mini draft

GWS give: Pick 2 in the draft

End eagles: Lose pick 22 and koby

but gain: pick 2

Could work....

Depending on how many players head into the PSD this year I wonder if the AFL will tighten the rules.

Seems a tactic that is becoming more acceptable, with players and managers actively participating (see Tarrant).

If anything, the pendulum is going to swing the other way.

The AFL wants clubs to let players come and go with greater freedom because they think that will safeguard against more predatory forms of free agency.

If there is an unwritten understanding that clubs, after all the haggling, ultimately end up doing some kind of deal to get an uncontracted player, be it Tarrant or Judd or whoever, to his club of choice, then hopefully the players association won't push too hard for a more wide-ranging form of free agency – because they don't need to, because, ideally, these things have a habit of sorting themselves out. But if clubs block these kinds of moves and players get forced into the PSD and then end up at clubs where they don't want to play, then the floodgates could open.

So I don't think the AFL will be intervening to tighten any rules. If anything, they'll be encouraging clubs to get deals done and send players to their new club of choice. It sucks for the club that is losing the player, but no holds barred free agency would leave that club with even less.

He said the Lions had flatly rejected Fremantle's initial offer. "They offered up their compensation pick for losing Rhys Palmer to GWS, which could be as low as No 31 this year," Kerr said. "We said no."


Geez. Explains why we are still in the running. Freo offering their compo pick

I actually think that is a better deal. As low as pick 31 this year, but probably around pick 22 next year and in a much stronger draft. Unless our player is someone they really rate.

pick 23 (2011) + steak knives < pick 22 (2012) IMO

I do reckon they are asking/we are offering a player they rate highly. Brisbane have already said they want a pick+player for Clark. By the sounds of it, Freo arent offering any players...but who knows

With that said, I still believe a deal will be worked out with Freo. I'd be very surprised if Clark was heading our way

The end of first rounder would unlikely be pick 22 next year though given the amount of compo picks likely to be used.
And people who are saying how poor the draft is, don't really understand its not really the first 30 thats the problem its the depth after that.
Manchester United & Melbourne Heart
Melbourne Storm & Melbourne Rebels
West Coast Eagles & Perth Wildcats
