Reckon we won't when we have Mosquito
It's a difficult one.I’m struggling hard to put a value on Jack Martin and his Mini draft pick 1 status, my thoughts are its overrated and wonder if he would have even been drafted top 3 in the 2013 regular draft.
I think the fact that O’meara and Hogan both won rising star awards made those mini draft picks look really good, and Martin is living, or potentially lived off the hype he will eventually come on similarly.
If the recent talk on the GC board is in any way accurate, GC might need some picks to on trade for other players.Martin is extremely hard to value. On potential, it's possible to see his price being a pick in the teens, but he's now in his 6th season, so he has to start being assessed on actual output.
I would say a pick in the mid 20s, but that seems too little, while a pick in the teens just feels too high. The Dogs currently hold Pick 25 which could be used, but would have to attach something else to it. Pick 25 + Pick 43 would be enough draft points I'd think, and may be sufficient depending on where Budarick is bid on in the draft, but I'm sure Suns would rather get an experienced player in return, rather than just more draft picks outside the 1st round
I think Pick 25 is pretty close to fair - he's not exactly a star, but is a serviceable player who would easily slot into GC's 22. Basically worth anywhere from Pick 20 - Pick 30 I think.If the recent talk on the GC board is in any way accurate, GC might need some picks to on trade for other players.
Would pick 25 be enough to get Hugh Greenwood from Adelaide?
And GC keeps pick 43 for matching a bid on Budarick.
Whichever team he nominates, if I'm Gold Coast I'm asking for a pick and a seasoned veteran back. Gold Coast can replace his talent easily, it's harder to replace the experience.
is there any indication, even rumors of where he might be heading? better not be to north...
This coming from a source close to the suns?Chatter seems to be Dogs if he chooses Victoria or Freo if he chooses to go home to W.A.
Seems Suns hoping he chooses Freo for ease of other possible trades.

I think someone on our board mentioned Hawthorn have also emerged as a serious contender.Just local footy chatter up here around the grounds combined with peeps in the know on our board combined with your board. Add it all together and these seem to be likely scenarios.

Going by the hawks posters they've got Gary Albert jnr and snr clones playing in the 2s for picks 55 and 75 but theyll still take Martin cause everyone wants to play for hawthorn..I think someone on our board mentioned Hawthorn have also emerged as a serious contender.

Let’s put the injury in to perspective, it was a finger surgery.Now injured
Having a horrid second half of the year
Seems to be the chatter from a few that generally have some sort of inside info. I wouldn’t believe it till he comes out and asks for a trade.Connor Blakely???????
Yeah. Like the bulldogs wouldn’t go for Grundy if he was available because we have Jordon Sweet....
Whatever your opinion on Martin he’s an upgrade massively on an unproven kid as speculative as mosquito.
Don't think he want to come but then he is out of contract and played 30 game less than Weller. No harm asking his availability.Connor Blakely???????

Lock down or attacking small defender?Too flimsy, pass, we need honest players who are dependable and can root out the weaker players. Time to players like Durdin and mckay into the team for extended run as they are kpp for the modern day and also leaving tarrant to do the intercepting and counter attack stuff. We do need to draft some top small defender. I would absolutely be willing to pay 1 mil+ per season for elite small defenders.
Lock down or attacking small defender?
I don’t believe there’s a small defender in the competition who’s on anything close to $1m.
Saad's defensive work continues to fly under the radar. But yeah, you definitely should be going after someone like Tom Cutler type.Attacking, we have marley who is a very good lock down defender. Team usually have 1 top of the line small forward like Betts but to be truly excellent, you need to have the best counter attacking small defender. We need a saad or johanessian type player. It's the player who can link from halfback to mid and forward, the quarterback player is now the MVP. Your dustin martin, de goey, josh kelly type are the ones we see and hear but the real match winners are the ones who run out of defense and deliver balls into the hands of those superstars.
