We still have too many holes in our side to be using a single figure pick on a project ruckman. You do that when your side is pretty settled, we still need more players who can be best 22 in the next 2 years

I have seen a handful of phantom drafts and most have him ranked between 9 - 14, only one suggested Melbourne might take him with pick 3 but i would say that is unlikely.
Would be mad not too if the opportunity arose, would love to get a hold of an early second rounder and hope that Kossie Pickett is still available, would love to see SOS do a Stocker type trade to get Pickett just think he has some massive upside and s**t loads of X factor to go with his manic pressure and his hard edge for someone of his stature, the best sf in the draft and a great Eddie apprentice.I wonder if SOS will be willing to deal in next years second round pick (that we effectively kept as a bonus after the failed Martin trade) and #43 to trade into this years (early) second round.
Partington could make a surprise comeback next week.View attachment 781446
This in not to knock anyones rating but interesting to see just how things change from initial projections.
This is from Knightmare only 4 years ago.
'Projected best 22 players' in Hibberd, Collins, Partington, Balic and Lovell already off the books along withe several others showing not really much at all.
'Top 10 on list' has fared even worse. Out of the three players listed, one is gone and the other two have already changed clubs just trying to make good.
GWS and Adelaide are set to engage in a swap of top 10 picks ahead of the National Draft.
The crux of the deal sees the Crows send pick four to the Giants for pick six and a future first-round pick.
Giants and Crows complete trade of top 10 picks
This would be a huge swap ahead of the draft.www.sen.com.au
Sos's apprentice Reid showing he's a good learner.are we getting left out of the pre-race jostling for position?
Lookinv like it will be Kemp if we keep the pick, which I don't mind.
I'd disagree, an explosive 190+ fwd/mid would compliment our existing group quite nicely.Great talent, probably one of the best in the draft, but not what we need at the moment.
If he’s there at 9 Geelong will offer ridiculous overs and we should accept.
GWS as usual doing stupid s**t like giving up pick 15-18 to move up 2 spots. They get away with it because their list was built immaculately.

1. Gold Coast - Rowell
2. Gold Coast - Anderson
3. Melbourne - Jackson
4. GWS - Young
5. GWS - Green (matching bid from Sydney)
6. Sydney - Flanders
7. Adelaide - Stephens
8. Fremantle - ???
9. Melbourne - ???
10. Carlton - ???
Serong, Kemp, Ash, Robertson?
Smart trade by Adelaide, I reckon. No-brainer, for sure, extra first rounder next year to drop 2-3 spots this year in an even draft. Balances out the Stocker trade - they've swapped 19 (2018) and 9 (2019) for 6 (2019) and ~15-20 (2020).
lets hope Melbourne take Jackson.From their point of view though, moving up 2 spots means they get an extra top 5 pick.
Without the trade, they can have Green, or pick 6.
Now they have #4 + Green
I'd disagree, an explosive 190+ fwd/mid would compliment our existing group quite nicely.
I'd think he suits our needs moreso than any of the others touted to be available at our pick - particularly with Newnes & Martin coming into our squad.

It's all pretty much been a waste of time for Adelaide. Their rationale for the initial trade was that they hadn't had a Top 5 pick ever i don't think. They were planning on and selling it as a Top 3. Now they are turning it into a Pick 7.
All they have done is basically turn a Pick 19 into a Pick 15 to 25 two years later(imo most likely 19-23ish) and in a lesser draft while moving from 9 to 7 in this even draft. It's a goodish deal for where they sit now with not much difference between 4 and 7, but it makes a mockery of their original stance.
Their sell of this will be interesting to the masses who don't know the intracacies. They were supposed to be expecting a gun Top3 player.
Guess Young Reid didn't have the confidence to back himself and follow thru on a Top pick.
Looks to me like;1. Gold Coast - Rowell
2. Gold Coast - Anderson
