List Mgmt. Trade: National Draft selection nos. 14 and 35 traded to Adelaide for selection nos. 10 and 47

[catempire]

Confirmed.



Don't mind it. Obviously got our eye on someone at 10. Hopefully a ball pig of midfielder.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Whaaaatttt.

Well, hopefully we don't waste it with any strange left-of-field selections that could have been gained later anyway.

 

[thejester]

That's a curious move.

 

[SJ]

That's a curious move.

That's the opposite of what we'd usually do.

 

[alfy!]

Well, hopefully we don't waste it with any strange left-of-field selections that could have been gained later anyway.

That's key.

 

[Topper]

I like this a lot.

35 and 47 could be meaningless that far down, especially if Wells has something up his sleeve we could still get at 47 that we would have used 35 on.

 

[catempire]

Who might be available at 10 that likely wouldn't by 14?

I gave up following draft prospects years ago...

 

[Seeds]

Woo our first top 10 pick since Selwood in 2006

 

[Pivo]

Who might be available at 10 that likely wouldn't by 14?

Don't forget, Collingwood are committed to Moore inside the Top 10 so we have one of the first 9 "live" selections.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Maybe they feel the player they want may not be available at 14 but there may be players expected to be available at 47 that we may have picked at 35. Didn't expect it but Wellsy has a top 10 pick!

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Woo our first top 10 pick since Selwood in 2006

Similar caliber player would be handy.

Who would we likely have access to at pick 10 that we wouldn't at pick 14?

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

This has been a weird trade period. Pick 10 is good.

 

[GFrost]

Okay process of elimination.... Which one is it? Which players are certain to go before 10.... Petracca, McCartin, Wright, Brayshaw, Moore.... who else?

Wells wants someone that won't be there at 14.... How weird!

 

[Willo_]

Maybe they feel the player they want may not be available at 14 but there may players expected to be available at 47 that we may have picked at 35. Didn't expect it but Wellsy has a top 10 pick!

Crows obviously think who they want at 10 would still be there at 14 as well

 

[Tkoajd]

so what are our final picks in the draft?

 

[jim boy]

I like this a lot.

35 and 47 could be meaningless that far down, especially if Wells has something up his sleeve we could still get at 47 that we would have used 35 on.

It could be, but then why did we get the Saints to throw us pick 60

 

[meto]

Whaaaatttt.

Well, hopefully we don't waste it with any strange left-of-field selections that could have been gained later anyway.

That's always on my mind when it comes to Wells, but they'd have someone in particular in mind doing this swap, it's obvious.
After Mitch Brown and Billie Smedts etc,...... I don't think it could possibly be a left fielder going to the trouble for the extra 4 spots.
We'll all be holding our breath!

 

[Biggy_Boy]

so what are our final picks in the draft?

10, 47, 55, 60, 73, 91.

 

[CatRiot]

Geez, with pick 10 we are in the mix for Laverde, Goddard, Weller, Marchbank, even Lever could slip.

Seems a bit strange, but they must highly rate someone in the top 10-12.

 

[Topper]

It could be, but then why did we get the Saints to throw us pick 60

1 player up each sleeve? who knows?

They've obviously got a target they might not think will get to 14

 

[GFrost]

Relax. Wells will not go left field with ten. He wants someone he is SURE won't be there at 14. That is not left field.

 

[CatRiot]

Why did we land pick 60 in the Stanley trade?!?

 

[Cat Addict]

Lever or Marchbank left @ pick 10...?

 

[Pivo]

Okay process of elimination.... Which one is it? Which players are certain to go before 10.... Petracca, McCartin, Wright, Brayshaw, Moore.... who else?

Wells wants someone that won't be there at 14.... How weird!

Laverde is the one that springs instantly to mind.

Pickett is the other.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Balme saying they're not targeting a particular player in the draft with pick 10 (as a reason for the late trade), just thought they'd have a crack at getting an earlier pick.
