Pick 1 on the table

[Chadwiko]

That's where I am of a different view. If that was any other club, other than St Kilda and Melbourne, it would be a different story. But these two clubs have such thin lists, that they can't simply get one blue chip player. What is the point? They are much better off getting that player with pick 1 in this draft and wait for him to mature when they are in a better position. They need 3 good players out of this, not just 1. Three players with upside.

You don't trade $1 for five .20c pieces.

Fwiw Basti and Pelchen were spotted having breakfast this morning on acland st.

Adds abit of legs to the above rumours.

 

[Only Forwards]

Or it will see us this time next year discussing who we'll take with pick 1 in the draft, if you know what I mean.

I have resigned my self to the fact that my team will never have pick 1.

We have too much fight. Even when we were s**t we were still kinda ok.

Betcha Basti was left with the bill as Pelcan did a runner...

I am talking about trading a $5 for a $2 coin, plus two bottles of coke which are $2.50 each.

Knowing Pelchen, he will probably offer us pick 38.

100 % agree I'm still pissed at what ever year we finished 13th ( 16 team comp) and the three teams below us all had priority picks!

We got pick 7, freakin disgrace.

JZ and Basti would get pick 2-3.

 

[Mordecai]

If you're trading pick 1 you want a news story. Bastinac + Mullett + 15 doesn't sell hope. Won't happen.

Don't even think Cunnington + 15 would sell hope. We know how good Cunnington is/will be but he's not a household name yet. Ziebell might have made a big enough name for himself. I'd entertain none of this though.

 

[Event Horizon]

JZ and Basti would get pick 2-3.

JZ should get a top 5 pick on his own IMO. We are talking about giving pick 15 to them. Plus players.

If we traded Jack I would go spare.

I would seriously lose my mind.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

We've got nothing they'd want we'd want to lose.

You bloody North supporters are just going to have to deal with the fact you are never going to see us with pick 1 in your lifetime.

Get over it.

Pelican said this arvo that current discussions involving a swap of pick one for Jaksch + O'Rourke + a pick under 5 "is the sort of deal we're entertaining, but not necessarily the exact deal that would get it done."

He was pick 7 and hasn't elevated himself much above that.

I don't want to trade him, just being realistic.

Hansen was pick 3. Gumbleton was pick 2. I'd say pick 9 (from memory that's what he was) is still a bit of a lottery. JZ is a proven top 10 pick, put it this way. I certainly wouldn't be trading him for anything, but if I was, I wouldn't be adding pick 15 to it, that's for sure.

That would mean O'Rourke and Jaksch are pretty much steak knives
Mind you, neither of them has done FA at AFL level up to this point. Basti and Mullet have.

 

[Grogg]

Would also mean whoever's their list manager is a complete moron.

Yeah, Pick 9, my bad!

 

[hilly]

Daw, McKenzie, Wilkins, McGuiness and our 3rd pick should get it done.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Anthony and a third rounder.

plus a bag of chips.

Correct, they have both done FA at AFL level.

Pelican??.... more like a *in peanut!

 

[Mordecai]

He was pick 9. He has shown he can rest forward very effectively for a midfielder. You're about 90% chance to land a player with a top 10 pick and about a 10% chance they'll become a franchise player. I'd be wanting a top 5 pick for him.
