2017 Trade Talk

[ROYCY HART A TRUE CHF]

depends who we miss on with 15
I wanted Oscar Allen hope he is there at 17

That is my concern. I wonder if part of the Pick swaps was a commitment from the clubs involved not to select Naish.

They were saying bris wanted 15 to ensure they get Ballenden who is their academy player and tipped to go 15-25ish
198cm and replaced Schache in NEAFL granny
Bris want to make sure no on else swoops on him before their pick 20 so thats why they did the deal is the word.

 

[ROYCY HART A TRUE CHF]

Biggest danger is dogs bidding on Naish @ 16. If not, then we'll get him for 20 or even better, 25.

Yep...dogs r the danger @ 16. All other picks in the late teens early twenties r Interstate clubs !!!

 

[Gracie]

I doubt it
I think its just media dribble with Naish being only father son that they are trying to create a story that isnt there
he will go with 25 i think

If he goes past 25 the next three draft picks are held by interstate clubs leaving Melbourne at 29. Would fit perfectly into the two 50s pick values

Geelong has 22 and 24 and Norf 23 so that will be the most likely bid position after #16

I don't get the 3rd round swap with Geelong?

If we expect Naish to be bid on somewhere before 25, then why do we need the cats 3rd rounder? Does this mean the club believes Niash won't be bid on before any of our first 3 picks and we will use both our 3rd rounder points for Niash? @Gracie ? Does 53 and 55 make up the points for Naish if he's bid on from 26 onwards?

The value of Picks 53 and 55 combined with the set discount added gives enough points to match a bid at 30 or later.

The swap with Geelong was required to cover all bases.

Seems like the plan is to get Naish plus two talls and upgrade Soldo and Castagna. We need 5 changes to the list for that to happen. Yarren, Maric, Morris, Elton and Hunt are the 5.

If we are going to use any later picks we need to trim others.

Nicely explained Gracie.

 

[Gracie]

We have 3 picks in the top 25.

Only Brisbane has better than that with 1, 15, 18

west Coast is close with 13, 21, 26

 

[Vines]

Premiership team. 3 picks inside the top 25 is excellent!!! I wondered how we’d deal ourselves back into the second round and hoped it wouldn’t be Lloyd or Miles to do it. Not because I don’t want them to have opportunities at the highest level but just from a culture and depth point of view I guess.

Now, let’s nail those picks!

 

[Barrel]

Hopefully pick 53 stars for us in the grand final next year

 

[Graeme Bowman]

So if we have it in mind to pick up a mature state-league version of Nank or Riewoldt, could that occur during the pre-season or rookie draft? Or are some of these guys available during the national draft on Nov 24?

If they’re available in the rookie or pre-season drafts, it’s because they were overlooked in the national draft.

 

[ROYCY HART A TRUE CHF]

I'm thinking we are probably looking to utilise four picks in this draft so another delisting is on the cards.

 

[ROYCY HART A TRUE CHF]

Also reckon we have entered into an arrangement with the Lions whereby they have agreed not to select Naish with Pick 18 as part of the Pick swap.

If they take Ballenden @ 15 (which is their desire and the reason they negotiated the swap) then that effectively takes 15,17,18 & 20 out of play for Naish. Interstate clubs also hold picks 11-14 which is a bonus !!!

Pick 25 is worth 756 points which grossed up for the discount equates to 945 points. This will allow us to match West Coast's offer should they decide to select Naish @ 21.

My perfect draft would be Oscar Allen ,Naish andToby Wooler a 193cm 90 kg key forward from oakleigh chargers,he's a good mark decent kick,and great endurance,he's also very good at ground level with tackling pressure acts etc.
I would also like to get Brandon Starcevich 187cm 88kg midfield/forward/back man from Wa ,he's a real competitor no matter what position he play's ,strong in the air and has decent skills.

No arguments from me.
Hopefully we can snare Allen @ 17.

I like what they have done, it looks like we will preserve picks 17 and 20 as long as there is no bid on Naish before 9.
From pick 9 we would give up picks 25,53 and 55.
From pick 13 we would give up picks 25 and 53
From pick 14, it's picks 25 and 55
From pick 20, which is ours we would only give up pick 25
You would have to select him at 25 regardless, picks 53 and 55 can only cover from pick 34 upwards

No You have to use your picks in order.

If a bid comes before 17 then we must use 17 first and the 20 and then 25 until we have met the required points

Aaaaaaahhh, not so excited now

 

[Barrel]

It's a ridiculous system. Just make it like it used to be, you can take any eligible father-son selections with your last pick. Easy. Every club will get their turn over time, except maybe GC or Brisbane because no one stays there long enough . At the very least make it that if a bid is made you use your next pick and move on.

 

[colossus]

Thoughs on Aiden Bonar Col?

He looks talented very strong over head,and quick off the mark,also adds pressure in the forward line,at 190cm he looks a third forward or back man,lm not sure on his endurance because of his injuries over the last couple of years,but he could end up a wing man
Clubs must like him to be invited to the combine,but he's a tough one to say what round he will go.

Here's the Draft points table.

Gibbs traded to Adelaide for picks 10 and 16 plus exchange of later and future picks.

I can't believe that. I must be missing something - how old is he?

 

[Gracie]

I can't believe that. I must be missing something - how old is he?

29 years old 15 March next year.

Of his 5300ish possessions about one third of them are contested and has 5 contested marks in the last three seasons from 212 marks.

So he does not really solve their inside mid problem

They would have been better placed picking an inside mid at #10 and giving us #16 for 26 yr old (next year) Miles
