Draft Power Rankings: Key position twins rocket up the top 20
In an AFL draft crop top-heavy with midfielders, a pair of key position players -- twins, in fact -- have made their move up ESPN's May Power Rankings, writes Jasper Chellappah.
This is a link to the player draft rankings mid this year. Funny how opinion changes in a few months. Our 3 players were all top 15. Might end up being a stunning draft for us.
Gold Coast gave us Jack Lukosius, Rory Atkins
, picks 29 and 50.We gave them pick 39 and a 2025 future first.
Now with Houston
Collingwood gave us pick 13 Richards and pick 36
Remember they got pick 13 for Noble.
So in essence they got Dan for two nobody’s in Noble and Richards and we gave them pick58.
We got bent over twice.
Yes these lads that we drafted might turn out good and make us winners but we’re the ones taking the risk.
Collingwood come out sure winners.
GC get our first round pick next year and dump a useless player on our list.
He not only take’s up space but we have to pay his wage.
And our return?
A player who can’t hold a sport in a shit side like the Suns because a three time premiership coach believes he’s a lazy arse.
That’s the reality pal.
We made out like bandits then for Lukosius when you consider North gave up a F1 for Pick 27Gold Coast gave us Jack Lukosius, Rory Atkins

On that basis, we got Luko, Atkins and 50 for 39
Not bad!
Thanks for explaining
Now I feel really good about that deal!
Haha ... It wasnt two separate deals ... for God's sake! It was symbiotic, with each club needing something off the other to allow the deal to go though.
In finality, you look at what we gave up totally, and what we received totally.
You take on it is just shite!

What he neglected to mention was Collingwood gave up pick 36 to us and it's future first to Gold Coast and on traded 13 to us so effectively Berry, Moraes and Richards for Houston. Still a shit trade that we shouldn't have done. Probably got ****ed a little for Luko by trading our future first with nothing back, taking a salary dump with the worst possible player with no upside for genuinely the worst pick upgrades possible. All in all a bad trade but not the shit show that 240volt is claiming.We made out like bandits then for Lukosius when you consider North gave up a F1 for Pick 27

Luko for what should probably be pick 15-20 after academy bids and FA compensation I’m not too fussed with.
Might not be the best deal we could have got but in general first round picks are overrated.
Happy to take the risk at that pick.
Net result when you package it all up I’m actually a little happier with post draft than I was pre-draft.
Trade and Draft period need to be assessed as a whole at the end of both periods.
You can split and assess individual deals expecting to win with your pants down in each one like the battery makes out.
We received an over the hill player that we have been laughing at for years.
We also get to pay him and give him a list spot.
We also received a player that Hardwick (3 times premiership coach) is happy to let go.
We also received a 25 year old 9 game player that might have some potential but that’s no guarantee.
That’s basically what we got.
What we gave away is our first round pick next year and a two time AA defender.
We also received picks that might work out good or could be a flop, that’s speculation and won’t be proven either way for sometime.
All I’m saying is for me is I believe we held all the cards and should have got a better deal.
Clubs like Geelong wouldn’t have accepted this deal, that’s why they are winning flags and we are winning fk all.
You like it then goody for you.
Still wonder if it's Berry that is the player we wanted to move into the top 10 for per C4
I'm gonna tell myself it was Tauru
