We've had enough Lamb jokes. Now you are trying to encourage Rice jokes?
I wouldn't be hurt if he did choose the saints. We have quite a few of his type and he isn't exactly the 'cream of the crop' in this draft.
Oh great...![]()
Not joking at all. Each draft is a discrete event and therefore past results do not affect future draft probabilities in any way. Look up where the best player from the last 15 drafts were picked at. Could be anywhere within the top 30 or so I'm guessing.
Drafting is subjective and the success of a selection at any pick number is solely based on the competence of those doing the selecting (as you said in your post), not a mathematical formula.
I agree it is tradeable for the right price, for sure. But any argument for trading it should have no mention of previous draft results - they are irrelevant.

Is 8 years enough? It depends on how far away you think we are from developing into a top four team. I think talk of being a top four team in 4 to 5 years time is wishful thinking. Also not sure that Whiley and Tutt are at a standard or could be called core players that you'd build a top 4 team around.
The photo of him in the HUN today reminds me of his father. Stocky and well built, (like a brick s...house) ala Leith Matthews like.
He has followed us all his life because of his dad. Yes, I hope he nominates us.![]()

#18 & Jed out Yazzamataz in, why not?Bolton connection helps. Hawks would love a committed Yarran. Prefer their #18 though.

Only one of the above that I'd have an issue with is the casboult/bell -> mayes (or compo) trade.
we give up 2 X first 22 players that have huge upside - you want something pretty damn good in return. For myself, mayes isn't that person - nor is a compo in a shallow draft.
I'd rather
Keep casboult and then trade bell -> compo (and only b/c of his circumstances, would prefer to keep him otherwise)
The other thing I'd like to see is the blues waving the future 1st round about to see who might want to have a nibble. Conventional wisdom suggests that pick will be pick 1 or 2 (in a 'strong' draft).
If we can get a gun young player + 1st round pick in return I'd take it
boyd + dogs first (2016) -> our first (2016)
treolar + GWS first (2016) -> our first (2016)
omeara + GCS first (2016) -> our first (2016)
You get the idea of the type of player I'd be looking for
Of course most clubs would say no -> to which case, you then lower the asking price for pick 1 i.e. GWS tomlinson + scully + GWS first (2016) -> our first (2016) or tomlinson + whitfield + GWS 2nd (2016) for our 1st (2016)![]()
GWS want draft pickshttp://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-10-11/trade-whispers-blues-eye-another-giant
Wow that would be a nice pick up. What would it take to get the trade done?
spoke to a bloke last week who works pt at the geelong falcons. said young curnow could easily be the best player to come from there side. apparently has played everywhere and has been injured but said once he gets fit he sees him a lot like fyfe. would be top 3 if fit. if true what are our chances of getting him as sounds like what we need

How so? Not that I don't believe you or anything.
If what you say is true, then it's great news. Do you know him personally?

If we were to gain 2 first rounder next year via the Yarran & Henderson trades (If), would we consider moving on, our next years first for the right deal?
Many may see that as a straight up top 3 pick. Would we do it for the right player? Have a feeling it may just come into play.
