List Mgmt. Trade & Draft UltraThread- Warning, May Contain Speculation #combinethethreads

[Obeanie1]

Agree, have to go after Kelly but yeah, doesn't leave us much room to do much else.
I guess it depends on if any of our players ask for a trade, if they do we could potentially pick up something to work with.

Two 1st gets Kelly.

Retain 22 and 32 for the draft plus we use a later pick if no player trades occur.

What's the draft look like in that sort of area this year?

 

[RanaNaved]

Lots of flankers......

Pick 13 and 2019 2nd rounder is sufficient for Kelly.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

There should be inside mids available at picks 22 and 32. Inside and balanced so ok with trying to retain the picks.

 

[Kwality]

2018 top 10, 5 smalls (<190cm) drafted playing an average 19 games each for the year (compared to the 5 talls playing an average 9 games).
2017 top 10, 9 smalls drafted playing an average 15 games each per year over the two seasons since being drafted.

Now over to you. Where was my statement wrong?

Why no names, what are you trying to hide?

We're hamstrung in terms of trading our first round pick next year, unless a special exception is made by the AFL.

I'd be angling for pick 13, our 2nd this year and 2nd next year for Kelly, keeping pick 22 this year and our first next year.

Best available midfielder at 22 - ideally Robertson.

In terms of 2019, its whatever it takes.

 

[maverick001]

Xavier O'Neill is a Midfielder who wins a good balance of contested and uncontested ball which was on full display throughout the 2018 season. O'Neill has speed and agility, which is prominent at stoppages and can push forward to use his goal sense to impact the score board

Was he playing midfield?
The stats I'm looking at show him reaching 20 disposals in only 1 game, and he played 10. A good mid should be able to exceed that easily in the WAFL even at 19yo

 

[eagles rule]

Sure trade 3 guys that are committed to the club and have proven to play good quality afl football so far in their careers for speculative draft picks

Do you understand what I said??

The AFL will allow it if asked. We dont need protection from ourselves, we just won a flag and also used multiple 2nd rounders in the past two years thanks to Gold Coast. They will also want Geelong to get the best deal possible PLUS keep the Vic fans happy.

The best mutually fair deal for us is two 1sts with the Cats 2020 2nd coming back.

Is there anyway we can offer Geelong 22,31+future 1st and the trade 13+ Petrucelle for a higher pick to get Dev Robertson?

Realistically what sort of region will Robertson be picked around? I’m aware that Sumich is a fan so if he gets the Freo gig then he’ll nab Robertson early

 

[Falco]

Between 10-20. Henry, Robertson, Jackson and Rivers will all be gone by 25.

So whats the scoop on the Lions ruckman that won the Sandover?
Is he on the draft radar?

It is unlikely the trades would occur, it is increadibly unlikely Sumich will get a job. Read the name of their sponsors and ask - would they like their brand on his shirt while he makes a fool of himself on camera?

Barely seen him play but he's only 194cm so a WAFL special

 

[Capriati]

So perhaps I am over estimating his value. Does that mean it is imperative that we keep 13 in the kelly trade in order to secure one of Robertson/Henry/rivers?

We can't not trade for Kelly unless the price is ridiculous but that's the part that also scares me. If I was Geelong, I'd want the picks this year. And that potentially wipes us out of the first 2 rounds this year.

Meaning we are not making inroads to drafting young mids.

Well isn't Kelly the perfect age then?
Why do they need to be a bunch of 18 yo's that will do nothing for 3 years?

So we trade a 20 yo who has already had impact at AFL level for a 18 year old who only has a 50/50 chance (statisically) to even play AFL in any meaningful manner?

Perhaps not the best idea.

Sometimes people get carried away with ideas (omg draft young mids!) and don't think it through.

Perhaps you are right that it isn't the best idea.

I think my post was certainly guided by the fact that I don't really rate Petch. He lacks a lot of polish when finishing his own work and doesn't seem to have very good defensive skills.

I would still be doing whatever it takes to get Robertson or Rivers.

How do you know Robertson or Rivers will be any better?

Do you think either of them will be kicking 20 goals in basically their first season (like Pet did)?

We need realistic expectations.

Not necessarily mate, XO Sauce had a delayed start to preseason I think, and came straight from under `18s playing against boys to playing against mostly Men in the WAFL, not every player or midfielder will develop at the same rate. A 18 year old picking up 20-30 touches against men on a regular basis is an exception not a normality. TO me these are the once in a generation players that you are lucky to get. ie Judd BOND 007 am I correct or is other factors too?
