It cost the Dees roughly 110pts (pick 63) for that deal (F3 based on the Scum finishing 11th in 2025, if they finish lower it's less - break even is they finish 17th).

Assuming Dees finish 8th & Scum finish 9th…

Dees:
2024 picks 28, 40, 46, 54, 65 = 1,747 points
2025 pick 11 = 1,205 points
Total - 2,952 points

Scum:
2024 pick 9 = 1,468 points
2025 pick 46 = 134 points
Total - 1,602 points

I think what these deals show is that higher picks are valued more by clubs than same value in lower pick points. That's what they have changed the system next year.

yeah same ... chasing high draft picks feels like how we spent the first 2 decades of this century doing. and that alone, is not a plan for a flag.

houston gives us a big need and fills a big hole. two late round 1st round picks to bring in some ready made players, a mid ready to go and a small forward would be good too. That berry kid looks good.

but man ... chasing a top pick, a cousin of walsh etc etc sounds like we've watched that movie before. murphy, gibbs, kruez etc all these can't miss kids who were gong to bring us a flag.

we're closer right now to flag and imo, should be topping up the list in areas where we're short to go over the top.

OK fair enough, but as I forgot to mention in my initial post, they want our #14 pick for the Baker trade. So I'd be disappointed if we took the German nuclear power plant owner approach (Simpsons reference, not political comment!).

If Haw give WCE futures for Barrass, can't WCE use them for Baker?

I hear they're still in the box seat for Judd...

Very reliable poster on BF reckons we are most likely getting pick 3 from WestCoast now. Could be done by tommorow morning.

Pisses me off that they're holding out for 10 & 11 for Bolton when 10 & 18 is already on the table. Greedy bastards. He ain't all that without Dusty clearing the path.

I'd like Houston in our side, but Finn O'Sullivan would give us nine more years than Houston.

Touted as a done deal… we’ll see

I thought I read somewhere the Tigers were heavily into him for pick 1.

I'm sure it's not going to come to this, but Geelong fans seem to think they can walk Smith to the draft if the dogs don't accept pick 17.

If they try, do we have a crack at him with 12 or 14? Assuming he makes it that far.

I was just about to post this. ericpascoe has a pretty good record.
When questioned says a 3rd club could be involved.

Or we nab one of the others at the pointy end.
