The only silver lining is that whoever got her would have to pay big in draft picks.
It is looking less and less likely that our 2022 campaign is going to challenge for a flag. The restrictions on our picks due to the priority picks is bad enough, but to lose two of our most important players in their prime as well as Downie and Loynes would be a terrible blow. And the carnage of the expansion clubs stealing players hasn't even started yet.
I'm not sure if it will be a straight swap or not, but Dalton to GWS and Del Pos back to us looks likely.
It was going to be Loynes instead of Del Pos, but Loynes can get there for free because we delisted her.
I really hope Tayla to Melbourne goes through even though they don't have much to offer in the way of picks (they will send their first pick to geelong for Purcell), at least that way we can get 'something' back for Tayla.
If she is forced to sit out, she will go to an expansion club next year for nothing.
With a bit of luck, we can get a couple of extra picks for Tayla and maybe upgrade one for Loynes/Dalton trade for Del Pos.
