The draft last year is differnt to this year... it appears to be a big difference after the first two ... and GC get a PP.. the the Crows pick become 4.. 2 picks in the teens ?
GWS probably have an interest in getting a pick before Sydney, since Sydney are likely going to be the ones bidding on GWS' academy prospect Tom Green. So I can see them trading for pick 3. They have picks 12 and 13 currently, and if they don't match a bid for Cogs they probably get pick 14 as compensation. Maybe they could trade picks 12, 13 and 14 for 3 and 28?What would be the right picks to get pick 3?
Adelaide don't need more good solid players like crouch and Sloane they need guns, would be a stupid move to trade for later picks, they need to roll the dice, they mustn't have any confidence in their recruitment manager Ogilvie, in getting that gun with an early pick and want to paly the safe option which will keep them competitive

Also out of the top four SA youngsters (Stephens, Gould, Day, Taheny), at least two should be available in that pick range, and possibly all four.That doesn’t seem to bad, quick way of getting some youngsters into the club.

12 is tied to Essendon so depending on what they get up to in the last two rounds it could be 9/10/11/12.GWS probably have an interest in getting a pick before Sydney, since Sydney are likely going to be the ones bidding on GWS' academy prospect Tom Green.

That may be so ..but as much as the top two are obvious now ... names like Boyd , Kelly and Billings were known in their year and Cripps went at 13.. Its rare that the kid most think is 1 becomes the best player from that draft. Perhap they just want to spread their chances , perhaps they have liked what Port did..Adelaide don't need more good solid players like crouch and Sloane they need guns, would be a stupid move to trade for later picks, they need to roll the dice, they mustn't have any confidence in their recruitment manager Ogilvie, in getting that gun with an early pick and want to paly the safe option which will keep them competitive

Would you prefer to trade with Gold Coast to get the #1pick ..
The only reason they would, comes down to luko and his wantsUnless the Suns get stupid overs, I can't see us trading Lukosius for pick 3. Which is less than what GC took him at last year at & with 21 games of experience and a year of development under his belt.
Though... the club has disappointed me before.
Port traded up to get Rozee big time, they didn't trade back for two first rounders, it was a ballsy move but looks like paying off they clearly rolled the dice and won .
There have been a number of players who have become superstars with later picks, that cannot be questioned
But do percentages say the higher the pick the more likely the success rate of a getting a gun, yes they do
So we could take the safe option and trade for a couple of late firsts or back yourself like Port did with Rozee and see what can be achieved
Agree. I think something closer to the mark might be pick 3, Greenwood and maybe a Jenkins for Lukosius - providing Lukosius wants outUnless the Suns get stupid overs, I can't see us trading Lukosius for pick 3. Which is less than what GC took him at last year at & with 21 games of experience and a year of development under his belt.

Agree staying in that top 10 increases your chances of getting that gun not always obviously but it increases the percentagesI was more ref the gathering of 3 players in the top 18... the way the article read afc want multiple youth additions now ..not to wait multiple drafts.. Yes the move to get Rozze will be looked on as a huge draft move win..
Without going into all the variances on what picks have delivered.. how often has certain clubs had hits and other continual mosses etc ..after all ..a pick is only a judgement in a cue... take the Rozze pick.. Port only got him because other did not take him.
Id conceed that the first round .. is more like two round .. 1-9 then 10-18.. ..in general single figure selections should have a better chance then in the teens.
There are only2 midfielders considered top notch and likely stars. What can Adelaide offer for one of those picks? Pick 3 and what else?Agree staying in that top 10 increases your chances of getting that gun not always obviously but it increases the percentages
We really don't need anymore solid players we have plenty Fog is our real only great hope to be that at this stage with the fact he is a kpf helps
Milera is going to be good but consistency will be his problem galluci will be a solid player but no gun doedee is a 189 cm HB flanker so that counts you out of having huge influence
We really need to pick that next gun inside mid
Mchenry and Jones could be ok but outside mids

All senior players talked up as possible trade options are past it. No other club (even gold coast) will trade either one or two for three and a discard. Especially not when picks 3 through 25 are seen as ho-hum. Draft is considered bereft of top talent.
3 to 25 are ho hum are they. that is not what the draft boards are spruiking - guys that watch the kids. They say top 2 (but even then Anderson to the rest is no great gap) then there is a group of 4-5 kids similar - just wondering which draft you were referring to?There are only2 midfielders considered top notch and likely stars.

If you get an end of 1st rounder as a priority pick:Unless the Suns get stupid overs, I can't see us trading Lukosius for pick 3. Which is less than what GC took him at last year at & with 21 games of experience and a year of development under his belt.

Gees some fans look at things weirdly.Adelaide don't need more good solid players like crouch and Sloane they need guns, would be a stupid move to trade for later picks, they need to roll the dice, they mustn't have any confidence in their recruitment manager Ogilvie, in getting that gun with an early pick and want to paly the safe option which will keep them competitive
This years draft is very different to last years. Far less top end talent. And the next tier is no where near as good as last years second tier.Port traded up to get Rozee big time, they didn't trade back for two first rounders, it was a ballsy move but looks like paying off they clearly rolled the dice and won .

If you get an end of 1st rounder as a priority pick:
Lukosius and pick 19, GCS 2019 third
For
Pick 3, pick 12, Crows 2020 2nd
Then it would be very unusual for any club to want pick 3 or 4 now wouldn't itGees some fans look at things weirdly.
Have you followed any draft discussion at all this year?
Do you not think the clubs list manager has consulted Ogilvie on this years draft?
All year the talk has been there’s a top two, and then a gap to next best talent, which is pretty even out to maybe pick 15/20’ish territory.
If you’re currently holding pick 3, which might become pick 4 if GC get a PP, some clubs might want two bites of the cherry if it’s at all possible.
Especially when some local talent is expected to go a little later.
