I would be extraordinarily shocked if the top 2 picks of a draft 2 years ago would be traded out with in 24 months. They would have to have serious concerns about his quality to allow it to happen. Especially if they are losing the player who's name rhymes with Peeloar.

 

[BrianSpeaking]

You are speculating here. How many drafts have there been and how many players have the potential to play 300 games?

Either that, or they have a s**t-tonne of equivalent talent tucked away due to having had an unprecedented amount of extraordinarily generous start-up concessions and now having a production line more coming through their academy....

I would lose my s**t if we landed Kelly, he is exactly what we need!

Unless they do an absolutely remarkable job of getting everyone to stay around on considerably less money than they could get elsewhere, there are very likely to be Kelly types leaving GWS over the next couple of years.

So many of their list have re-signed until the end of 2017 and that also happens to be the last year of their salary cap concessions, so something is going to have to give as that time gets closer, unless, as I said, they are somehow able to get them all to re-sign for considerably less than they could get elsewhere, or if some of them are happy to keep playing regular NEAFL footy when they could be playing senior AFL footy.

We'll be in as good a position as probably anyone to get any that fall loose, as we'll have the salary cap space required to pay them and probably the draft picks to get the deals done.

The academies will also probably make things easier for clubs like us who are trying to do a deal. In the past, they wouldn't have had much interest in say our 2nd or 3rd rounders, but now all they care about is getting the required points to be able to select those they have in their academy and they won't care if they come from 1st, 2nd or 3rd rounders, just as long as they get the job done.

I'm backing Daddy_Barrels or SK_MD_#7 to search through ARR's post history over the next 24 hours and quote the direct post

That's something Barrels would do

Yep I agree they don't stand a chance of retaining all that talent, it's impossible. The key to being able to match it with this plastic powerhouse is to pouncing on that talent when the opportunity presents.

24 hours? I found them in 15 seconds!

I did it already.

No sign of Player Jelly though. Someone mentioned we're in a jam and another was blowing raspberries.

Must be that Jloekhurst that was referred to earlier. I'd happily give pick 5 for him or her. How many draft busts have there been with players with surnames starting with Jl?

 

[Ekomaira]

Where do you think Jelly would go in this draft Brian?

 

[saintscott]

whitfield or kelly?

 

[John Bonney]

JLO

This code is way to confusing! Who did you come up with?

Pick 2 behind Weitering. Big blokes always have more currency, even when they aren't as good players.

Wicked, cheers. Let's hope we get him!
