Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - Now Starts A Long Offseason

[Suma Magic]

Perhaps Newton is out of contract and delisted himself, could be a reason why, although I'm just having a guess here

Sorry I edited my post once I realised why he would be going into the ND (which is for the exact reason you stated).

Article said that Newton was offered a contract but has chosen to go to the draft due to a lack of opportunity at Port. His decision it would seem

 

[lmach]

Wouldn't mind picking him up. What's funny though is that some Port posters were suggesting a straight swap for Lycett earlier in the year.

 

[Suma Magic]

As far as types go, I would like something like:
r1-3: two mids and an HBF
r4: Newton
rookie: ruck of some kind

 

[Longwthebreeze]

Theres no doubt someone has agreed to pickup Newton. Most likely us or Freo? Im not sure a young player battling to make his way would roll the dice on his career and turn down a contract. He`s already been deleted from their website list. Anyone know much about him??

 

[squashface]

I think we are all brushing over the fact that old mate Lewis Stevenson was delisted.

 

[GoldenEagle]

Bring in another lefty. Draft Newton! More upside then Lucas IMO

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

19 senior games in 7 years in the AFL system. Might have had his last chance I think.

He was the next Gary Ablett

 

[Dark Sharks]

He was the next Garry Ablett

He was the next Nakia Cockatoo*

 

[WCE_phil]

11. Pickett or if not there Weller then Goddard
32. Menadue or if not there Miller
51. Rainbow or if not there Cripps (if there's some miracle and he's there then Keitel before Cripps)
69. Cripps or if not there Dan Howe

Now for the rookie draft.
Cadwallader.

Yeah, shame. I liked him when he was with us. He nearly made it, but was not quite there. Gave it a good shot though.

 

[WCE1698]

Any one know much on Newton?

 

[Chris_6678]

whats Ben Newton like?

Don't know much except for what i have read and that is that he is a pretty good inside mid with every good skills but is pretty slow.

 

[BOND 007]

Newton is a strong chance to go to Geelong as they were interested in him during trade week.

BOND 007 Any chance you know if we are interested in him?

Would imagine they are well aware of his talents. Like some others have suggested here, I personally think he has more to offer than Lucas. Lockyer is an interesting one...

Interesting in that he has untapped talent for a different role? Would rather him than Mr Vanilla Lucas.

 

[WCE1698]

Port fans saying Newton is quite slow, but a decent inside mid similar to Hutchings. not what we need.

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

I think we are all brushing over the fact that old mate Lewis Stevenson was delisted.

Was easily our best defender in our SANFL side this year. Was solid last year in the AFL. AFL standard but only just.

Any one know much on Newton?

Big body, clearance machine, can rack up possessions and kick goals. Decent decision maker. He's just a bit slow when he runs. I think he'll make it wherever he goes - I know yourselves, Geelong and Freo have shown interest.

 

[Longwthebreeze]

Would be happy with

Pick 11 - Speedy skilful mid
Pick 32 - KP slider / utility
Pick 51 - best available

+DFA - (Newton/ Lucas whoever)
+ Waterman
+ Sinclair upgrade

Rookie pick - Project ruck

Even though weve seen 4 med backs delisted, I think if either Adamson or the BROphy make it, it will be as backman. And our current stocks are still ok after adding Yeo, Ellis & Bennell recently.
Im against picking all mids with our top 3 picks, as some have suggested, as with Sheed, Waterman + 1st pick, theres some good quality kids to work with. +DFA mid?
Maybe if Simmo believes McGoverns best position in the future is a forward, then pick a KPP Back with our 2nd/ 3rd. Or visa versa. As we know, its usually a payoff in 4-5 years time..
Any possible talls as sliders anyone?

Durdin to slide to our first pick is a decent possibility

 

[Obeanie1]

Durdin to slide to our first pick is a decent possibility

And why do we need another KP defender?

RE, you said on the Draft board that we are apparently keen on Cockatoo? Can you elaborate on that?

I like Laverde as a goalkicking Mid , resting forward , pickett apparently has been likened to cyril rioli as a fwd , rainbow is defender mid long range goalkicker when playing midfield .. But rainbow has had back problems .. Goal kicking mids would be nice
