Yeah but didn't really think we'd bother losing a player just for the sake of jumping up two spots

But what do you think Paine represents in order to attract such a big lift in the draft positions?

There were a few Western Bulldogs supporters calling in to radio stations today asking about Paine. Might be on their radar in the event that the Crameri deal falls through?

A forward of which they are desperately in need of in addition of still snaring a quality mid. I think Paine could do well as that Chris Dawes dummy lead up forward if given enough game time. In reality he's not going to ever get that at the Pies now with Jesse coming in. As someone corrected me previously he kicked 45 goals this year which is not too shabby at all.

Yeah but you're talking a few steps up the draft at the point end of things. That's too much value for Paine, although I acknowledge that they could do with a forward with Brown on his last legs.

Karnezis for Paine seems a fair swap to me.

I am not talking about Brisbane buddy I am referencing the Western Bulldogs

GC? They are forwards galore up there they don't need him.

My mistake, but same principle applies. Not sure he's worth a few spots upgrade at the pointy end of the draft

So is Pendles and Maxie.

He's a good catch but is not quick. 3rd tall forward, slight upgrade on Jack Anthony with more talent and less acceleration.

I am 50/50.

I can see him being a Good Forward but he can also be a Flop

Some talk about of a straight swap between Paine and Karnezis but I'm not enthused by it, prefer to give Paine another year.

In his second year Paine was our leading goal kicker and was the fourth highest goal kicker in the VFL, was our highest ranked player for score assists in the VFL, was our equal highest taker of marks (107) and was fifth on our VFL list for total disposals as a key forward. That is not a bad effort anyway you look at it for a second year tall key forward.

Obviously, the kid still has plenty of development left in him, not sure if we could expect the same from Karnezis.

With Cloke, White, Reid, Witts, Lynch and maybe even Karnezis available as marking forwards for us in 2014, I can't see how Paine could possibly get a senior game.
