So a future top 5 pick for 15 that slides to 18.
Future picks are discounted when purchasing current draft picks. But not that much. That is a seriously dumb trade if Norrh did it.
Just watched a podcast of that Tigers young fella. Is saying Richmond are keen on Tauru at 6 and don't want to trade it.
Now THAT if true puts North in a dilemma.
Would love North to reach with 2.
And in the end they didn't need to.
Did they?
Those boys are going late 2nd in the 30's.
Who gives a rats after a 20% discount it will cost the Blues a pick in the late 40's or 50's.
Insignificant. They didn't trade a 1st to make that happen either. They flip flopped with late picks.
So...
What future pick trades?
Carlton stuffed up thinking they would go lower. They will be picked up in the mid to late 20's. Get a 20% discount and pay with 3rd rounders.
Blues then traded in and out of 2024 and 2025 to improve its 1st rounder this year. Nothing to do with the father son bids...
It shouldn't have been allowed this year. AFL was weak as you know what when it folded to the crying Blues and Lions who cracked it when it looked like they will miss out on one last rort in 2024.
So the highest ranked player in the draft will go to the premiers for a hand full of junk picks...
Why?
Because Dees need inside mids. Viney is over 30, Oliver looks cooked off and on field and Petracca is nearing 30.
They are also stockpiling a number of quality WA players that traditionally do well.
PLUS a certain Victorian player in WA may look for a trade in coming years.
You do realise if you match and force a trade Crows aren't paying a 1st rounder for him based on his output from the past two years.
Go ask some Swans fans how they feel about trading out of contract players to the Crows.
That sounds just rosy.
Reality is the Tigers list is going to get very young and quickly. Young bodies can't run out 4 quarters and if a team is carrying several kids to fast track their development others need to carry their load.
So you should not be surprised seeing g final quarter blow...
Adelaide will decide. They pay his salary and they will decide what they are prepared to pay.
If they refuse to pay more that 850k its band 2.
If Essendon twist their arm they pony up to land band 1.
Feel Tigers would be willing to trade one of 10 or 11 but do not want to lose two 1st rounders especially 6.
Geez I hope they hold firm and North use 2.
Splitting hairs there.
What's the difference between elite guns such as a P Cripps and a L Neale v very good players.
Is Bolton the elite gun and Clark a very good player? Or are they the same in your eyes?
They aren't the same BTW. One is getting paid $1m per year because they are elite...
Exactly.
People question why we have brought in types such as Hunt, Graham and Flynn as free agents.
Plus Baker, Owies and Brockman as trades.
They lift the floor. They set the standards. These are the players you also need to win flags.
Each premiership side has 6 or 7 guns surrounded by...
Yep. Dennis should be plan A.
Bell plan B maybe? Even a rookie spot for Bell plus Dennis late in the draft would firm up our list profile a tad.
Grab the next local Barrass in the 3rd round. Job done.
So gun v A grader.
So Freo has 4 confirmed guns.
And a handful of maybe if they can stay fit but pop up in patches of A grade form.
And a couple of maybe defenders..
So 6 consistent guns gets them into true contending.
Exactly what I posted earlier. Teams need at least 6 guns to contend.
Your comment regarding Darwin and the NT has nothing to offer indigenous players compared to the big established clubs and cities.
Just shows you don't understand indigenous players nor what the NT and Darwin offers.
Really bad call.
As to the OP raising the option of an indigenous team...
The issue with taking Ough is we are already trialling a 196cm winger in Maric.
So unless Maric goes to defense, a possibility, where would Ough play long term?
Agree I'd jump on Oliver if we missed out on TT.
We need good left foot kicking players coming out of defense and in the middle of...
It gets tiresome when the Eastern commentators focus 98% of their discussion on which WA player we will draft.
Even when higher ranked players are available at our pick.
Allan now ranked around 14 or 15. What a surprise.
If we had pick 10 he'd be ranked at 10.
How many elite A graders have Freo got BTW?
Serong
Brayshaw
Young?
Bolton just added
Jackson? Consistency?
Darcy? Injury and consistency?
Amiss? A tad early call here.
Pearce? Injury prone but pretty good
As many have posted Ginbey and AllAn are very similar types.
Allan's kicking efficiency and accumulation are the questions.
Lindsay is a very good kick and accumulates.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if we have two or three prospects ranked higher around pick 12.
