List Mgmt. Pick 9

[murphster]

Yep, just hadn't heard that we had also hosted Serong. Gives us a great insight into a couple of the possible of options at our pick which is fortunate.

I am curious as to whether Serong could benefit from dropping a few kgs given he's currently listed by the AFL as 179cm/88kg. May go some way to improving his burst?

Your spot on about his extra kilos, at AFL level he should be around 80kg at his height, he also plays cricket in the off season so doesn’t have a proper pre season which he will get at AFL level, the other good insight we will get into all the players in the draft is with Luke Power who has coached and worked with all the elite talent as the AFL academy coach, a huge advantage for us imo, and not only for this year but next as well, plus any players we might look to trade in that have been drafted in the last few years.

 

[murphster]

It's less about the gap, and more about who is left out of that upper group when our pick comes around.

If it's Serong, McAsey, Flanders and Stephens, I'd advocate trading out unless we're confident enough on Bergman and willing to select him. We're unlikely to get access to a pick higher than 14, and Bergman will probably be gone by then, almost certainly to the Dogs.

So the question is someone like Bergman or Kemp, versus two players like Gould and Sharp.

If McAsey is still on the board come our pick expect Geelong to come hard at 9, ideally a trade with Port for 12 & 18 gets us inside the Dogs pick at 13.

 

[murphster]

Just add the points up.

We come out 170 points ahead in a worst case scenario, which would be Pick 19. With GC already having a PP, it's actually 212 points ahead, for Pick 20.

The higher above 18th we finish the further ahead we come, although it doesn't matter too much at that point in time.

I'm not a fan of swapping our future second for one this year. I know next year's draft is "compromised", but that just means there are going to be a stack of clubs wanting second rounders to use on matching bids. Every chance we can use our second to good effect on the trade table next year.

Our future 2nd has Caldwell written all over it considering the huge deficit GWS will have next year.

 

[murphster]

If we keep 9, gotta feel Kemp is our guy. I'd love Stephens if he's there and maybe he will be high on our draft board. But I reckon with where we're at and how we've seen him close quarters in pre-season, we'll take the risk and he'll be top 5 in our list. Would probably take a Young to drop to us to make us reconsider.

As always, I'd LOVE to see what our current board is looking like.

Any chance the Carlton media boys shoot a video in the war room that just happens to have the board in the back ground.

 

[Pafloyul]

Any chance the Demons would want to go back up one spot?

Any chance the Demons would want to go back up one spot?

Maybe, but I suspect we won't know that until pick 9 comes around and they can see who is still on the board.

I doubt it but if they're desperate for someone they might offer up 10 + 28.

Their pick in the thirties would do fine.

They don't have a pick in the 30s.

3, 10, 28 is what they currently hold.

 

[Brackets]

Good thing about the Freo trade is that it pretty much means we're the only option for teams outside the top 10 to get into it.

There is no rush to do anything - need to remember that we're not trading pick 9 to a team, we'll be trading a player still available that another team highly rates. Every chance that could be a player Cats/Power/Suns rate in their top 5/6, so I expect they'll all be willing to pay overs on the night if their player is still there.

 

[DIG]

I reckon Caleb Serong will still be there at 9. I think he’s superb but short players often slide.

Can’t see us picking Pickett with our first pick if we trade it. Think he’s been built up to much by the media

The media didn’t invite Pickett to draft night.
The invitation suggests Pickett will be taken 1st round ... he is rated.
Of course, by trading down we get 2 bites of the cherry at picks 16 & 19.

I’d rather have a crack at Dylan Williams and Cooper Stephen

 

[Pafloyul]

They don't have a pick in the 30s.

3, 10, 28 is what they currently hold.

I thought I'd read an updated list which included a pick in the early thirties, my mistake, or the site's, maybe.

The indicative draft order is kept up to date so I'd trust that.

There's also this thread which Lore does very well to keep accurate - https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2019-nominal-draft-order-with-live-trade-updates.1206928/

 

[Eiffel 65]

So if Young is actually on the board come pick 9 on draft night, wonder if that changes the value of what other clubs are willing to part with for the selection?

 

[Red Bull]

With 16 & 19 you would be very confident of getting them ...

 

[spry]

Hold on one sec.. are there multiple Stephens we are into or am I losing it?

Dylan and Cooper are both top 20 prospects. But you're also probably losing it.

Plausible summation good sir. Is Dylan the midfielder that is similar but different to O’Brien? Or is that Cooper? If it is Dylan what’s with the blumour we are into Cooper?

If you know the cut of his Jib and would be so kind to enlighten me I’d I owe you one.

Half of Serongs highlight videos shows him missing targets. No thanks

 

[fnm_just a man]

If we trade down, surely we take Gould with one of our picks.

 

[The Grover]

Looking a good chance either Young or McAsey will be available at our pick.

Is Geelong or Port a more likely trade partner?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

We'd take Young wouldn't we?
